Constructing a Built-In Electric Field To Accelerate Water Dissociation for Efficient Alkaline Hydrogen Evolution.

The alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) is intricately linked to the water dissociation kinetics. The quest for new strategies to accelerate this step is a pivotal aspect of enhancing the HER performance. Herein, we designed and synthesized a heterogeneous nickel phosphide/cobalt phosphide nanowire array grown on nickel foam (Ni2P/CoP/NF) to form a p-n junction structure. The built-in electric field (BEF) in the p-n junction optimizes the binding ability of hydrogen and hydroxyl intermediates, efficiently promoting water dissociation for the alkaline HER. Consequently, Ni2P/CoP/NF exhibits a lower overpotential of 58 and 118 mV at 30 and 100 mA cm-2, respectively, and high stability over 40 h at 300 mA cm-2 for the HER in 1 M KOH. Computational calculations combined with experiment results testify that the BEF presence in the p-n junction of Ni2P/CoP/NF effectively promotes water dissociation, regulates intermediate adsorption/desorption, and boosts electron transport. This study presents a rational design approach for high-performance heterogeneous electrocatalysts.

Machine Learning Assisted Electronic/Ionic Skin Recognition of Thermal Stimuli and Mechanical Deformation for Soft Robots.

Soft robots have the advantage of adaptability and flexibility in various scenarios and tasks due to their inherent flexibility and mouldability, which makes them highly promising for real-world applications. The development of electronic skin (E-skin) perception systems is crucial for the advancement of soft robots. However, achieving both exteroceptive and proprioceptive capabilities in E-skins, particularly in terms of decoupling and classifying sensing signals, remains a challenge. This study presents an E-skin with mixed electronic and ionic conductivity that can simultaneously achieve exteroceptive and proprioceptive, based on the resistance response of conductive hydrogels. It is integrated with soft robots to enable state perception, with the sensed signals further decoded using the machine learning model of decision trees and random forest algorithms. The results demonstrate that the newly developed hydrogel sensing system can accurately predict attitude changes in soft robots when subjected to varying degrees of pressing, hot pressing, bending, twisting, and stretching. These findings that multifunctional hydrogels combine with machine learning to decode signals may serve as a basis for improving the sensing capabilities of intelligent soft robots in future advancements.

Colorectal cancer screening: The value of early detection and modern challenges.

The screening of colorectal cancer (CRC) is pivotal for both the prevention and treatment of this disease, significantly improving early-stage tumor detection rates. This advancement not only boosts survival rates and quality of life for patients but also reduces the costs associated with treatment. However, the adoption of CRC screening methods faces numerous challenges, including the technical limitations of both noninvasive and invasive methods in terms of sensitivity and specificity. Moreover, socioeconomic factors such as regional disparities, economic conditions, and varying levels of awareness affect screening uptake. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic further intensified these cha-llenges, leading to reduced screening participation and increased waiting periods. Additionally, the growing prevalence of early-onset CRC necessitates innovative screening approaches. In response, research into new methodologies, including artificial intelligence-based systems, aims to improve the precision and accessibility of screening. Proactive measures by governments and health organizations to enhance CRC screening efforts are underway, including increased advocacy, improved service delivery, and international cooperation. The role of technological innovation and global health collaboration in advancing CRC screening is undeniable. Technologies such as artificial intelligence and gene sequencing are set to revolutionize CRC screening, making a significant impact on the fight against this disease. Given the rise in early-onset CRC, it is crucial for screening strategies to continually evolve, ensuring their effectiveness and applicability.

Remarkable Second Harmonic Generation Response in (C5H6NO)+(CH3SO3)-: Unraveling the Role of Hydrogen Bond in Thermal Driven Nonlinear Optical Switch.

Heat-activated second harmonic generation (SHG) switching materials are gaining interest for their ability to switch between SHG on and off states, offering potential in optoelectronic applications. The novel nonlinear optical (NLO) switch, (C5H6NO)+(CH3SO3)- (4-hydroxypyridinium methylsulfonate, 4HPMS), is a near-room-temperature thermal driven material with a strong SHG response (3.3 × KDP), making it one of the most potent heat-stimulated NLO switches. It offers excellent contrast of 13 and a high laser-induced damage threshold (2.5 × KDP), with reversibility > 5 cycles. At 73 °C, 4HPMS transitions from the noncentrosymmetric Pna21 room temperature phase (RTP) to the centrosymmetric P21/c phase, caused by the rotation of the (C5H6NO)+ and (CH3SO3)- due to partially thermal breaking of intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The reverse phase change exhibits a large 50 °C thermal hysteresis. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations show that (C5H6NO)+ primarily dictates both the SHG coefficient (dij) and birefringence (∆n(Zeiss) = 0.216 vs ∆n(cal.) = 0.202 at 546 nm; Δn(Immersion) = 0.210 vs ∆n(cal.) = 0.198 at 589.3 nm), while the band gap (Eg) is influenced synergistically by (C5H6NO)+ and (CH3SO3)-. Additionally, 4HPMS-RTP also exhibits mechanochromism upon grinding as well as an aggregation-enhanced emission in a mixture of acetone and water.

Effects of fermentation on the structures of yellow compounds in citrus pomace.

To enhance the stability and light resistance of the yellow compounds in citrus pomace, our study successfully isolated and purified five compounds using ultrasonic-assisted extraction and column chromatography. The identified compounds include methyl linoleate, (2-ethyl)hexyl phthalate, 1,3-distearoyl-2-oleoylglycerol, 6,6-ditetradecyl-6,7-dihydroxazepin-2(3H)-one, and n-octadeca-17-enoic acid. The monomers extracted from fresh pomace, compounds 1 and 2, exhibit structural similarities to flavonoids and carotenoids. In contrast, the polymers isolated from fermented pomace, compounds 3, 4, and 5, share structural units with the fresh pomace compounds, indicating the transformation to stable polymeric forms. This suggests that the microbial fermentation process not only enhances the value of citrus pomace, but also provides a promising pathway for the synthesis of natural antioxidant yellow pigments with far-reaching theoretical and practical significance.

Roles of combined femoral and acetabular anteversion in pathological changes of hip dysplasia and hip reconstructive surgery.

Combined femoral and acetabular anteversion is the sum of femoral and acetabular anteversion, representing their morphological relationship in the axial plane. Along with the increasing understanding of hip dysplasia in recent years, numerous scholars have confirmed the role of combined femoral and acetabular anteversion in the pathological changes of hip dysplasia. At present, the reconstructive surgery for hip dysplasia includes total hip replacement and redirectional hip preservation surgery. As an important surgery index, combined femoral and acetabular anteversion have a crucial role in these surgeries. Herein, we discuss the role of combined femoral and acetabular anteversion in pathological changes of hip dysplasia, total hip replacement, and redirectional hip preservation surgery.

Prevalence and trends of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in female sex workers and men who have sex with men in China: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Chlamydia trachomatis infection can cause a significant disease burden in high-risk populations. This study aimed to assess the overall prevalence of C. trachomatis infection, and determine the long-term trends and geographic distribution of this infection among female sex workers (FSWs) and men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. METHODS: The PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data and VIP databases were searched from 1 January 1990 through 30 April 2023. Publications in which C. trachomatis infection was detected using nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) were included. The Q test and I2 statistics were used to assess the heterogeneity between studies. A random-effect model was used to estimate the pooled prevalence of C. trachomatis infection. Subgroup, meta-regression, and sensitivity analyses were performed to explore the sources of heterogeneity. Publication bias was evaluated using Egger's test. Trend analysis of the prevalence was performed using the Jonckheere-Terpstra trend test method. RESULTS: Sixty-one studies were eligible for inclusion (including 38 for FSWs and 23 for MSM). The pooled prevalence of C. trachomatis infection was 19.5% (95% CI: 16.4, 23.0) among FSWs and 12.7% (95% CI: 9.2, 17.7) in the rectum, 6.4% (95% CI: 5.3, 7.8) in the urethra and 1.3% (95% CI: 0.8, 2.1) in the oropharynx from MSM in China. The subgroup analyses showed that the sample size, study period, study region, specimen collection type, molecular diagnosis method, and recruitment site could explain some heterogeneity among studies of FSWs, and the publication language, study period, study region, molecular diagnosis method, and specimen collection anatomical site could explain some heterogeneity among studies of MSM. From 1998 to 2004, 2005 to 2009, 2010 to 2015, and 2016 to 2021, the pooled prevalence of C. trachomatis infection among FSWs were 30.3%, 19.9%, 21.4%, and 11.3%, respectively. For MSM, the pooled prevalence from 2003 to 2009, 2010 to 2015, and 2016 to 2022 were 7.8%, 4.7%, and 6.5%, respectively. However, no overall decline in the prevalence of C. trachomatis infection was observed among FSWs (z = -1.51, P = 0.13) or MSM (z = -0.71, P = 0.48) in China. CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of C. trachomatis infection was high in these two high-risk populations in China. The findings of this study provide evidence for the formulation of effective surveillance and screening strategies for the prevention and control of C. trachomatis infection among these two specific populations.

Complete Region of Interest for Unconstrained Palmprint Recognition.

Unconstrained palmprint images have shown great potential for recognition applications due to their lower restrictions regarding hand poses and backgrounds during contactless image acquisition. However, they face two challenges: 1) unclear palm contours and finger-valley points of unconstrained palmprint images make it difficult to locate landmarks to crop the palmprint region of interest (ROI); and 2) large intra-class diversities of unconstrained palmprint images hinder the learning of intra-class-invariant palmprint features. In this paper, we propose to directly extract the complete palmprint region as the ROI (CROI) using the detection-style CenterNet without requiring the detection of any landmarks, and large intra-class diversities may occur. To address this, we further propose a palmprint feature alignment and learning hybrid network (PalmALNet) for unconstrained palmprint recognition. Specifically, we first exploit and align the multi-scale shallow representation of unconstrained palmprint images via deformable convolution and alignment-aware supervision, such that the pixel gaps of the intra-class palmprint CROIs can be minimized in shallow feature space. Then, we develop multiple triple-attention learning modules by integrating spatial, channel, and self-attention operations into convolution to adaptively learn and highlight the latent identity-invariant palmprint information, enhancing the overall discriminative power of the palmprint features. Extensive experimental results on four challenging palmprint databases demonstrate the promising effectiveness of both the proposed PalmALNet and CROI for unconstrained palmprint recognition.

Sexually Dimorphic Response to Hepatic Injury in Newborn Suffering from Intrauterine Growth Restriction.

Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), when a fetus does not grow as expected, is associated with a reduction in hepatic functionality and a higher risk for chronic liver disease in adulthood. Utilizing early developmental plasticity to reverse the outcome of poor fetal programming remains an unexplored area. Focusing on the biochemical profiles of neonates and previous transcriptome findings, piglets from the same fetus are selected as models for studying IUGR. The cellular landscape of the liver is created by scRNA-seq to reveal sex-dependent patterns in IUGR-induced hepatic injury. One week after birth, IUGR piglets experience hypoxic stress. IUGR females exhibit fibroblast-driven T cell conversion into an immune-adapted phenotype, which effectively alleviates inflammation and fosters hepatic regeneration. In contrast, males experience even more severe hepatic injury. Prolonged inflammation due to disrupted lipid metabolism hinders intercellular communication among non-immune cells, which ultimately impairs liver regeneration even into adulthood. Additionally, Apolipoprotein A4 (APOA4) is explored as a novel biomarker by reducing hepatic triglyceride deposition as a protective response against hypoxia in IUGR males. PPARα activation can mitigate hepatic damage and meanwhile restore over-expressed APOA4 to normal in IUGR males. The pioneering study offers valuable insights into the sexually dimorphic responses to hepatic injury during IUGR.

Data-Driven Analysis Reveals Cortical Infarction Patterns Correlated With Inflammation and Prognosis: A Retrospective, Multicenter Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND: We aim to identify the distinct lesion patterns and regions associated with functional outcome and inflammation in patients with acute ischemic stroke, and investigate whether the association between lesion patterns and functional outcome was mediated by inflammation. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed nonnegative matrix factorization to derived low-dimensional lesion patterns (atoms), and Bayesian linear regression models were applied to explore the associations of lesion patterns with inflammatory factors including high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and interleukin-6, as well as functional outcome (defined as modified Rankin Scale score at 3 months). The difference distribution mean and 95% highest probability density interval (HPDI) were calculated. Mediation analysis was used to examine the mediating effects of inflammation on the relationships between lesion patterns and functional outcome. Seven lesion patterns were derived from 5914 patients with acute ischemic stroke. Lesion patterns distributed in the cortical regions were associated with inflammatory response, including atom 1 (interleukin-6: mean, 0.113 [95% HPDI, 0.073-0.162]; high-sensitivity C-reactive protein: mean, 0.082 [95% HPDI, 0.038-0.123]) and atom 4 (interleukin-6: mean, 0.113 [95% HPDI, 0.071-0.167]; high-sensitivity C-reactive protein: mean, 0.108 [95% HPDI, 0.058-0.165]). These lesion patterns were also significantly associated with functional outcome (atom 1: mean, 1.958 [95% HPDI, 1.538-2.383]; atom 4: mean, 2.245 [95% HPDI, 1.773-2.741]). Mediation analysis suggested that interleukin-6 explained 15.34% and 7.47% in the association of atom 1 and atom 4 with functional outcome, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Certain lesion patterns that are associated with both inflammation and functional outcome of acute ischemic stroke, especially cortical infarction, may play a role in functional outcome through modulating inflammatory reactions.

Gd(III)-Catalyzed Regio-, Diastereo-, and Enantioselective [4 + 2] Photocycloaddition of Naphthalene Derivatives.

Catalytic asymmetric dearomatization (CADA) reactions have evolved into an efficient strategy for accessing chiral polycyclic and spirocyclic scaffolds from readily available planar aromatics. Despite the significant developments, the CADA reaction of naphthalenes remains underdeveloped. Herein, we report a Gd(III)-catalyzed asymmetric dearomatization reaction of naphthalene with a chiral PyBox ligand via visible-light-enabled [4 + 2] cycloaddition. This reaction features application of a chiral Gd/PyBox complex, which regulates the reactivity and selectivity simultaneously, in excited-state catalysis. A wide range of functional groups is compatible with this protocol, giving the highly enantioenriched bridged polycycles in excellent yields (up to 96%) and selectivity (up to >20:1 chemoselectivity, >20:1 dr, >99% ee). The synthetic utility is demonstrated by a 2 mmol scale reaction, removal of directing group, and diversifications of products. Preliminary mechanistic experiments are performed to elucidate the reaction mechanism.

Advances in drug resistance of osteosarcoma caused by pregnane X receptor.

Osteosarcoma (OS) is a prevalent malignancy among adolescents, commonly manifesting during childhood and adolescence. It exhibits a high degree of malignancy, propensity for metastasis, rapid progression, and poses challenges in clinical management. Chemotherapy represents an efficacious therapeutic modality for OS treatment. However, chemotherapy resistance of OS is a major problem in clinical treatment. In order to treat OS effectively, it is particularly important to explore the mechanism of chemotherapy resistance in OS.The Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a nuclear receptor primarily involved in the metabolism, transport, and elimination of xenobiotics, including chemotherapeutic agents. PXR involves three stages of drug metabolism: stage I: drug metabolism enzymes; stage II: drug binding enzyme; stage III: drug transporter.PXR has been confirmed to be involved in the process of chemotherapy resistance in malignant tumors. The expression of PXR is increased in OS, which may be related to drug resistance of OS. Therefore, wereviewed in detail the role of PXR in chemotherapy drug resistance in OS.

Transforming Adolescent Smiles: Correcting Skeletal Mandibular Retrusion and Bimaxillary Protrusion with Clear Aligners.

Maxillary protrusion combined with mandibular retraction is a highly prevalent but extremely complex maxillofacial deformity that can have a serious negative impact on patients' facial aesthetics and mental health. The traditional orthodontic treatment strategy often involves extracting 4 first premolars and conventional fixed techniques, combined with mini-implant screws, to retract the anterior teeth and improve facial protrusion. In recent years, an invisible orthodontic technique, without brackets, has become increasingly popular. However, while an invisible aligner has been used in some cases with reasonable results, there remain significant challenges in achieving a perfect outcome. This case report presents an adolescent patient with bimaxillary protrusion and mandibular retrognathia. Based on the characteristics of the invisible aligners and the growth characteristics of the adolescent's teeth and jawbone, we designed precise three-dimensional tooth movement and corresponding resistance/over-correction for each tooth, while utilizing the patient's jawbone growth potential to promote rapid development of the mandible, accurately and efficiently correcting bimaxillary protrusion and skeletal mandibular retrognathia. The patient's facial aesthetics, especially the lateral morphology, have been greatly improved, and various aesthetic indicators have also shown significant changes, and to the patient's great benefit, invasive mini-implant screws were not used during the treatment. This case highlights the advantages of using invisible aligners in adolescent maxillary protrusion combined with mandibular retraction patients. Furthermore, comprehensive and accurate design combined with good application of growth potential can also enable invisible orthodontic technology to achieve perfect treatment effects in tooth extractions, providing clinical guidance for orthodontists.

Nomogram prediction of vessels encapsulating tumor clusters in small hepatocellular carcinoma ≤ 3 cm based on enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.

BACKGROUND: Vessels encapsulating tumor clusters (VETC) represent a recently discovered vascular pattern associated with novel metastasis mechanisms in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, it seems that no one have focused on predicting VETC status in small HCC (sHCC). This study aimed to develop a new nomogram for predicting VETC positivity using preoperative clinical data and image features in sHCC (≤ 3 cm) patients. AIM: To construct a nomogram that combines preoperative clinical parameters and image features to predict patterns of VETC and evaluate the prognosis of sHCC patients. METHODS: A total of 309 patients with sHCC, who underwent segmental resection and had their VETC status confirmed, were included in the study. These patients were recruited from three different hospitals: Hospital 1 contributed 177 patients for the training set, Hospital 2 provided 78 patients for the test set, and Hospital 3 provided 54 patients for the validation set. Independent predictors of VETC were identified through univariate and multivariate logistic analyses. These independent predictors were then used to construct a VETC prediction model for sHCC. The model's performance was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), calibration curve, and clinical decision curve. Additionally, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to confirm whether the predicted VETC status by the model is associated with early recurrence, just as it is with the actual VETC status and early recurrence. RESULTS: Alpha-fetoprotein_lg10, carbohydrate antigen 199, irregular shape, non-smooth margin, and arterial peritumoral enhancement were identified as independent predictors of VETC. The model incorporating these predictors demonstrated strong predictive performance. The AUC was 0.811 for the training set, 0.800 for the test set, and 0.791 for the validation set. The calibration curve indicated that the predicted probability was consistent with the actual VETC status in all three sets. Furthermore, the decision curve analysis demonstrated the clinical benefits of our model for patients with sHCC. Finally, early recurrence was more likely to occur in the VETC-positive group compared to the VETC-negative group, regardless of whether considering the actual or predicted VETC status. CONCLUSION: Our novel prediction model demonstrates strong performance in predicting VETC positivity in sHCC (≤ 3 cm) patients, and it holds potential for predicting early recurrence. This model equips clinicians with valuable information to make informed clinical treatment decisions.

The link between anger and reactive aggression: Insights into anger rumination.

This study examined the mediating role of anger rumination in the relationship between anger and reactive aggression and the potential of adaptive anger rumination in reducing reactive aggression. Study 1, a two-wave longitudinal survey of 177 Chinese adolescents, showed that anger rumination mediated the relationship between anger and reactive aggression. Study 2, an experimental study with 160 university students, showed that the self-distanced group had lower aggression than the self-immersed group, and anger rumination mediated the impact of anger on reactive aggression in only the self-immersed group. These findings clarify the role of anger rumination concerning the relationship between anger and reactive-aggression and highlight the importance of self-distanced anger rumination in preventing reactive aggression among adolescents and young adults.

Integrative analysis of single-cell and bulk RNA sequencing unveils a machine learning-based pan-cancer major histocompatibility complex-related signature for predicting immunotherapy efficacy.

Major histocompatibility complex (MHC) could serve as a potential biomarker for tumor immunotherapy, however, it is not yet known whether MHC could distinguish potential beneficiaries. Single-cell RNA sequencing datasets derived from patients with immunotherapy were collected to elucidate the association between MHC and immunotherapy response. A novel MHCsig was developed and validated using large-scale pan-cancer data, including The Cancer Genome Atlas and immunotherapy cohorts. The therapeutic value of MHCsig was further explored using 17 CRISPR/Cas9 datasets. MHC-related genes were associated with drug resistance and MHCsig was significantly and positively associated with immunotherapy response and total mutational burden. Remarkably, MHCsig significantly enriched 6% top-ranked genes, which were potential therapeutic targets. Moreover, we generated Hub-MHCsig, which was associated with survival and disease-special survival of pan-cancer, especially low-grade glioma. This result was also confirmed in cell lines and in our own clinical cohort. Later low-grade glioma-related Hub-MHCsig was established and the regulatory network was constructed. We provided conclusive clinical evidence regarding the association between MHCsig and immunotherapy response. We developed MHCsig, which could effectively predict the benefits of immunotherapy for multiple tumors. Further exploration of MHCsig revealed some potential therapeutic targets and regulatory networks.

An efficient method for rapid screening of triterpenoid saponins in three Glycyrrhiza species using rapid resolution liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry combined with mass defect filtering.

Triterpenoid saponins, a major bioactive component of liquorice, possess high hydrophilicity and often co-occur with other impurities of similar polarity. Additionally, subtle structural differences of some triterpenoid saponins bring challenges to comprehensive characterisation. In this study, triterpenoid saponins of three Glycyrrhiza species were systematically analysed using rapid resolution liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (RRLC-Q-TOF-MS) coupled with mass defect filtering (MDF). Firstly, comprehensive date acquisition was achieved using RRLC-Q-TOF-MS. Secondly, a polygonal MDF method was established by summarizing known and speculated substituents and modifications based on the core structure to rapidly screen potential triterpenoid saponins. Thirdly, based on the fragmentation patterns of reference compounds, an identification strategy for characterisation of triterpenoid saponins was proposed. The strategy divided triterpenoid saponins into three distinct classes. By this strategy, 98 triterpenoid saponins including 10 potential new ones were tentatively characterised. Finally, triterpenoid saponins of three Glycyrrhiza species were further analysed using principle component analysis (PCA) and orthogonality partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). Among these, 18 compounds with variable importance in projections (VIP) > 1.0 and P values < 0.05 were selected to distinguish three Glycyrrhiza species. Overall, our study provided a reference for quality control and rational use of the three species.

MAD1 deficiency accelerates hepatocellular proliferation via suppressing TGF-ß signaling.

Numerous researches have reported on the regulatory network of liver regeneration induced by partial hepatectomy (PH). However, information on key molecules and/or signaling pathways regulating the termination stage of liver regeneration remains limited. In this study, we identify hepatic mitotic arrest deficient 1 (MAD1) as a crucial regulator of transforming growth factor ß (TGF-ß) in the hepatocyte to repress liver regeneration. MAD1 has a low expression level at the rapid proliferation phase but significantly increases at the termination phase of liver regeneration. We show that MAD1 deficiency accelerates hepatocyte proliferation and enhances mitochondrial biogenesis and respiratory. Mechanistically, MAD1 deficiency in hepatocytes enhances mitochondrial function and promotes hepatocyte proliferation by suppressing TGF-ß signaling. Our study reveals MAD1 as a novel suppressor of hepatocyte proliferation, which may provide a new therapeutic target for the recovery of liver function after liver transplant and partial hepatectomy.

Iron modified hydrogen-bonded organic framework as fluorescent sensor for ascorbic acid detection.

Herein, iron modified hydrogen-bonded organic framework (Fe-HOF) was successfully prepared by introducing the yellow-green fluorescent ligand 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid into HOF and then modifying Fe3+. A simple turn-on fluorescence strategy is proposed for the detection of ascorbic acid (AA) based on Fe-HOF. Fe3+ could effectively quench fluorescence emission of HOF. In the presence of AA, Fe3+ was reduced to Fe2+, which led to the fluorescence recovery of HOF, thus realizing the fluorescence quantitative detection of AA. These fluorescence responsive behaviors of Fe-HOF ensure fluorescence assay of AA within 0.5 - 8 µM, along with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.14 µM. The sensing platform could realize the rapid detection of ascorbic acid in vitamin C pills, tablets and beverages in the detection of ascorbic acid with good recoveries.
