Here, we develop an imidazole-triggered in situ fluorescence reaction system for highly selective and sensitive determination of DA from various sources (human, horse, dog, rabbit, and mouse). The system operates by catalyzing the oxidation of DA with 1,5-Dihydroxynaphthalene (1,5-DHA) through a Lewis base formed by imidazole, leading to the rapid generation of yellow azamonardine fluorescent compounds (AFC). Notably, the system demonstrates minimal background noise and a high signal-to-noise ratio of up to 300-fold with a determination limit of 33.33 pM, making it 10-100 times more sensitive than conventional enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) methods. Moreover, selectivity tests reveal that our system can effectively distinguish between several common interfering substances, even at concentrations as low as 10 nM. The developed system shows promising results in detecting DA from diverse sources (humans, horses, dogs, rabbits, and mice), including urine samples from clinical patients, exhibiting good agreement with traditional ELISA kits. Therefore, the established in situ fluorescence reaction system holds great potential for the determination of DA-related disorders due to its impressive analytical capabilities.</p>","PeriodicalId":435,"journal":{"name":"Talanta","volume":"292 ","pages":"127975"},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741914","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the effectiveness of current methods of treating HIRI is generally limited. Previous studies have shown that hydrogen sulfide (H<sub>2</sub>S) has a beneficial effect on HIRI, and an appropriate concentration of H<sub>2</sub>S can significantly reduce HIRI by protecting the mitochondria. Therefore, establishing an accurate imaging platform for monitoring variations in mitochondrial H<sub>2</sub>S is an effective strategy for anti-HIRI drug discovery and efficacy evaluation. To this end, a cyclometalated iridium(III) complex-based probe, Cym-Ir-EDB, was developed for detecting mitochondrial H<sub>2</sub>S in HIRI. Cym-Ir-EDB possesses good sensitivity, high selectivity, negligible cytotoxicity, and excellent mitochondrial-targeting ability, rendering it a promising imaging tool for analyzing variations in mitochondrial H<sub>2</sub>S in HIRI cells. Using Cym-Ir-EDB as a probe, anti-HIRI drugs were screened from isothiocyanates by monitoring variations in mitochondrial H<sub>2</sub>S in HIRI cells, for the first time. Moreover, the dynamics of mitochondrial H<sub>2</sub>S in HIRI cells were visualized and the response of HIRI to treatment with the screened erucin was monitored.

This tends to cause the absorption deformation of the auricle framework after surgery. In order to reduce the absorption deformation as well as make the reconstructed auricle more three-dimensional and the ear shape more realistic, our ear reconstruction team invented a novel method to make an auricle framework with autologous costal cartilage. The auricle framework made by this novel method has been applied to auricle reconstruction and has achieved excellent surgical results.Patients and MethodsClinical data and postoperative data were collected for patients with unilateral microtia who received auricle reconstruction using the novel method of auricle framework construction in Plastic Surgery Hospital from January 2020 to June 2022. The therapeutic effect of this novel method was evaluated by the satisfaction rate of patients and their families and by the prevalence of postoperative complications.ResultsA total of 60 patients were enrolled in this study. The average age was (10.95 ± 2.97) years old. The mean follow-up time was 24.02 ± 1.52 months. The satisfaction rate of patients and their families was 96.7%.
