No obvious cross-reactivity (CR) was observed with other common fluoroquinolone antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin (CIP), norfloxacin (NOR), lomefloxacin (LOM) and ofloxacin (OFL). The visual limit of detection (vLOD) of the optimized GICA was 2 ng·g−1 under the conventional pretreatment method, and the assay was completed in 15 min. Liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) was employed to confirm the performance of the strip. In addition, a novel pretreatment was established and compared with conventional pretreatment. Without the removal of organic solvents, the novel pretreatment method reduced the sample pretreatment time (more than 10 min). The vLOD of the optimized GICA was also 2 ng·g−1 when applying the novel pretreatment method. In conclusion, the proposed PEF-GICA could detect samples containing PEF rapidly and accurately, and the novel pretreatment method saved the time of sample pretreatment and improved the efficiency of detection.","PeriodicalId":15670,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B","volume":"34 1","pages":"517 - 525"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76532079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study aimed to evaluate the effects of 2,4-D on myenteric neurons in the colon of Rattus norvegicus for the first time. A dose of 2,4-D (5 mg/kg/day) was administered to the experimental group (2,4-D) for 15 days.

The 2,4-D group presented a higher density of total neurons (p = 0.05, t-test), which together with the maintenance of nitrergic neuronal density, may be related to the increase in the expression of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine by colocalization, responsible for stimulating the intestinal smooth muscle and increasing the chances of the expulsion of the harmful content present in the lumen. Over 15 days, the neurotoxic effects of 2,4-D in the myenteric plexus influenced an increase in the general population of myenteric neurons in the colon.","PeriodicalId":15670,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B","volume":"58 1","pages":"421 - 429"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89057081","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since MnO2 NS can quench the fluorescence of g-C3N4 via the inner-filter effect (IFE), enzymatic hydrolysate (thiocholine, TCh) can efficiently trigger the decomposition of MnO2 nanosheets in the presence of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and acetylthiocholine (ATCh), resulting in the fluorescence recovery of g-C3N4. OPs, as inhibitors to AChE activity, can prevent the generation of TCh and decomposition of MnO2 nanosheets while exhibiting fluorescence quenching. Therefore, the AChE-ATCh-MnO2-g-C3N4 system can be utilized to quantitatively detect OPs based on g-C3N4 fluorescence. Under optimal conditions, the linear ranges for the determination of parathion-methyl (PM) and 2,2-dichlorovinyl dimethyl phosphate (DDVP) were found to be 0.1–2.1 ng/mL and 0.5–16 ng/mL, respectively, with limits of detection of 0.069 ng/mL and 0.20 ng/mL, respectively.
