Carotid Sinus Syndrome With Convulsive Syncope in a Patient With Head and Neck Cancer.

This case report provides a comprehensive overview of a unique case of a 64-year-old male patient with head and neck (H&N) cancer who initially presented with compressive convulsive syncope, an initial manifestation of carotid sinus syndrome (CSS). CSS is an autonomic nervous system disease that often manifests as hypotension, dizziness, cerebral ischemia, or syncope, usually in elderly patients. In this case, the patient's laryngeal cancer led to lymphedema and encasement of the bilateral carotid arteries, inducing CSS and resulting in recurrent episodes of hypotension and bradycardia. These symptoms were managed through the administration of atropine and transcutaneous pacemaker placement, suggesting a probable mixed type of CSS. The patient was discharged on long-term theophylline treatment for symptomatic control of bradycardia episodes. Despite the promising outcomes of CSS cases treated with pacemakers, the efficacy is not universal and limitations may arise, particularly in H&N cancer patients. Therefore, the patient was managed with theophylline rather than a pacemaker due to its non-invasiveness and effectiveness in temporarily managing CSS. Although rare, CSS should be considered in patients experiencing convulsive syncope alongside H&N malignancies. As the evidence and consensus regarding CSS treatment in H&N cancer patients are scarce, additional research is necessary to evaluate and compare available options. This abstract concludes by emphasizing the need for further research and case reports to establish a consensus on the optimal management approach for patients affected by CSS due to compression from H&N cancers.

Modular Synthesis of Azines Bearing a Guanidine Core from N-Heterocyclic Carbene (NHC)-Derived Selenoureas and Diazo Reagents.

N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-derived selenoureas comprise a fundamentally important class of NHC derivatives, with key applications in coordination chemistry and the determination of NHC electronic properties. Considering the broad reactivity of chalcogen-containing compounds, it is surprising to note that the use of NHC-derived selenoureas as organic synthons remains essentially unexplored. The present contribution introduces a novel, straightforward transformation leading to azines bearing a guanidine moiety, through the reaction of a wide range of NHC-derived selenoureas with commercially available diazo compounds, in the presence of triphenylphosphine. This transformation offers a new approach to such products, having biological, materials chemistry, and organic synthesis applications. The guanidine-bearing azines are obtained in excellent yields, with all manipulations taking place in air. A reaction mechanism is proposed, based on both experimental mechanistic findings and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A one-pot, multicomponent transesterification reaction between selenoureas, α-diazoesters, alcohols, and triphenylphosphine was also developed, providing highly functionalized azines.

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of sulfamethazine derivatives as potent neuraminidase inhibitors.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to design and synthesize a new series of sulfamethazine derivatives as potent neuraminidase inhibitors. Materials & methods: A sulfamethazine lead compound, ZINC670537, was first identified by structure-based virtual screening technique, then some novel inhibitors X1-X10 based on ZINC670537 were designed and synthesized. Results: Compound X3 exerts the most good potency in inhibiting the wild-type H5N1 NA (IC50 = 6.74 µM) and the H274Y mutant NA (IC50 = 21.09 µM). 150-cavity occupation is very important in determining activities of these inhibitors. The sulfamethazine moiety also plays an important role. Conclusion: Compound X3 maybe regard as a good anti-influenza candidate to preform further study.

N-acetyltransferase 10 facilitates tumorigenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma by regulating AMPK/mTOR signalling through N4-acetylcytidine modification of SLC30A9.

BACKGROUND: Accumulating studies suggested that posttranscriptional modifications exert a vital role in the tumorigenesis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification, catalyzed by the N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10), was a novel type of chemical modification that improves translation efficiency and mRNA stability. METHODS: GEO databases and clinical samples were used to explore the expression and clinical value of NAT10 in DLBCL. CRISPER/Cas9-mediated knockout of NAT10 was performed to determine the biological functions of NAT10 in DLBCL. RNA sequencing, acetylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing (acRIP-seq), LC-MS/MS, RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP)-qPCR and RNA stability assays were performed to explore the mechanism by which NAT10 contributed to DLBCL progression. RESULTS: Here, we demonstrated that NAT10-mediated ac4C modification regulated the occurrence and progression of DLBCL. Dysregulated N-acetyltransferases expression was found in DLBCL samples. High expression of NAT10 was associated with poor prognosis of DLBCL patients. Deletion of NAT10 expression inhibited cell proliferation and induced G0/G1 phase arrest. Furthermore, knockout of NAT10 increased the sensitivity of DLBCL cells to ibrutinib. AcRIP-seq identified solute carrier family 30 member 9 (SLC30A9) as a downstream target of NAT10 in DLBCL. NAT10 regulated the mRNA stability of SLC30A9 in an ac4C-dependent manner. Genetic silencing of SLC30A9 suppressed DLBCL cell growth via regulating the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) pathway. CONCLUSION: Collectively, these findings highlighted the essential role of ac4C RNA modification mediated by NAT10 in DLBCL, and provided insights into novel epigenetic-based therapeutic strategies.

Effects of post-learning nap in the recognition memory for faces in habitual nappers.

This study investigated the effects of diurnal nap in the recognition memory for faces in habitual nappers. Thirty volunteers with habitual midday napping (assigned as the sleep group) and 28 non-nappers (assigned as the wake group) participated in this study. Participants were instructed to memorize faces, and subsequently to perform two recognition tasks before and after nap/wakefulness, i.e., an immediate recognition and a delayed recognition. There were three experimental conditions: same faces with the same view angle (S-S condition); same faces with a different view angle (22.5°) (S-D condition); and novel faces (NF condition). A mixed repeated-measures ANOVA revealed that the sleep group exhibited significantly longer reaction times (RT) following their nap compared to those of the wake group; no significant between-group differences were observed in accuracy or sensitivity (d'). Furthermore, both groups were more conservative in the delayed recognition task compared to the immediate recognition task, but the sleep group was more conservative after their nap (vs pre-nap), reflected by the criterion (ß, Ohit/Ofalse alarm). Further stepwise regression analysis revealed a positive relationship between duration of stage N3 sleep and normalized RT difference before/after nap on the S-S condition. These findings suggest that an immediate nap following face learning is associated with memory reorganization during N3 sleep in habitual nappers, rendering the memories not readily accessible.

Effect of applying Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum N793 to the scalps of men and women with thinning hair: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study.

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum subsp. plantarum N793 (N793) is a lactic acid bacterium (LAB) isolated from corn. We previously showed that N793 increases the level of keratinocyte growth factor, which is required for hair growth, in the culture supernatant of human follicle dermal papilla cells. Additionally, an open-label, single-arm study reported that applying a lotion containing N793 to the scalp for 24 weeks improved hair density in men and women with thinning hair. The present study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study aimed at verifying the efficacy of N793 for thinning hair. A lotion containing N793, and a control lotion (placebo) were applied once daily for 24 weeks to 104 healthy Japanese men and women. Analysis of all participants revealed no difference in hair density between the N793 and placebo groups. However, an additional analysis limited to participants with relatively mild progression of thinning hair showed a significantly better hair density in the N793 group than in the placebo group. These findings suggest that topical application of N793 improves thinning hair in men and women when the condition's progression is relatively mild.

Highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus outbreak in Peru in 2022-2023.

Background: An epizootic of highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) has spread worldwide since 2022. Even though this virus has been extensively studied for many decades, little is known about its evolution in South America. Methods: Here, we describe the sequencing and characterization of 13 H5N1 genomes collected from wild birds, poultry, and wild mammals in Peru during the genomic surveillance of this outbreak. Results: The samples belonged to the highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N1) 2.3.4.4b clade. Chilean and Peruvian samples clustered in the same group and therefore share a common ancestor. An analysis of the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes detected new mutations, some dependent upon the host type. Conclusions: The genomic surveillance of highly pathogenic avian influenza is necessary to promote the One Health policy and to overcome the new problems entailed by climate change, which may alter the habitats of resident and migratory birds.

Targeting RNA N6-methyladenosine modification-- a novel therapeutic target for HER2- positive gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer is one of the most common cancers and is considered the 5th most frequent occurring cancer worldwide. It has gained great attention from the clinicians and researchers because of high mortality rate. It is generally treated with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and surgery. Recently, additional treatment options including immunotherapy and targeted therapy and immunotherapy have been developed. However, poor prognosis, limited survival rate of patients, and drug resistance to treatment remain critical problems. To improve treatment options or to overcome the bottleneck of treatment, identification of diagnostic and prognostic markers, determining the most effective therapeutic options, and uncovering the molecular regulations associated with treatment strategies are required. In this regard n6-methyladenosine (m6A) regulation is considered important. This reversible modification plays a crucial role in progression, development and treatment of HER2-positive gastric cancer. Here, we discuss the role of m6A modification in HER2-positive gastric cancer progression through collecting related studies at present. We further discuss the association of m6A modification with therapeutic efficacy in HER2-positive gastric cancer and list some examples. We conclude that modification of m6A can be a new strategy for improving the prognosis and survival rate of HER2-positive gastric cancer patients.

Antibody glycan quality predicted from CHO cell culture media markers and machine learning.

N-glycosylation can have a profound effect on the quality of mAb therapeutics. In biomanufacturing, one of the ways to influence N-glycosylation patterns is by altering the media used to grow mAb cell expression systems. Here, we explore the potential of machine learning (ML) to forecast the abundances of N-glycan types based on variables related to the growth media. The ML models exploit a dataset consisting of detailed glycomic characterisation of Anti-HER fed-batch bioreactor cell cultures measured daily under 12 different culture conditions, such as changes in levels of dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and the use of two different commercially available media. By performing spent media quantitation and subsequent calculation of pseudo cell consumption rates (termed media markers) as inputs to the ML model, we were able to demonstrate a small subset of media markers (18 selected out of 167 mass spectrometry peaks) in a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell cultures are important to model N-glycan relative abundances (Regression - correlations between 0.80-0.92; Classification - AUC between 75.0-97.2). The performances suggest the ML models can infer N-glycan critical quality attributes from extracellular media as a proxy. Given its accuracy, we envisage its potential applications in biomaufactucuring, especially in areas of process development, downstream and upstream bioprocessing.

Nitrogen-doped mesoporous activated carbon from Lentinus edodes residue: an optimized adsorbent for pharmaceuticals in aqueous solutions.

In this study, phosphoric acid activation was employed to synthesize nitrogen-doped mesoporous activated carbon (designated as MR1) from Lentinus edodes (shiitake mushroom) residue, while aiming to efficiently remove acetaminophen (APAP), carbamazepine (CBZ), and metronidazole (MNZ) from aqueous solutions. We characterized the physicochemical properties of the produced adsorbents using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), nitrogen adsorption isotherms, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). MR1, MR2, and MR3 were prepared using phosphoric acid impregnation ratios of 1, 2, and 3 mL/g, respectively. Notably, MR1 exhibited a significant mesoporous structure with a volume of 0.825 cm3/g and a quaternary nitrogen content of 2.6%. This endowed MR1 with a high adsorption capacity for APAP, CBZ, and MNZ, positioning it as a promising candidate for water purification applications. The adsorption behavior of the contaminants followed the Freundlich isotherm model, suggesting a multilayer adsorption process. Notably, MR1 showed excellent durability and recyclability, maintaining 95% of its initial adsorption efficiency after five regeneration cycles and indicating its potential for sustainable use in water treatment processes.

Synthesizing nickel single atom catalyst via SiO2 protection strategy for efficient CO2 electroreduction to CO in a wide potential range.

At present, electrochemical CO2 reduction has been developed towards industrial current density, but the high faradaic efficiency at wide potential range or large current density is still an arduous task. Therefore, in this work, the highly exposed Ni single atoms (NiNCR-0.72) was synthesized through simple metal organic frameworks (MOFs)-derived method with SiO2 protection strategy. The obtained catalyst keeps CO faradaic efficiency (FECO) above 91 % under the wide potential range, and achieves a high FECO of 96.0 % and large CO partial current density of -206.8 mA cm-2 at -0.7 V in flow cell. The experimental results and theoretical calculation disclose that NiNCR-0.72 possesses the robust structure with rich mesopore and more highly exposed Ni-N active sites under SiO2 protection, which could facilitate CO2 transportation, lower energy barrier of CO2 reduction, and raise difficulty of hydrogen evolution reaction. The protection strategy is instructive to the synthesis of other MOFs-derived metal single atoms.

Construction of an interface interaction in a g-C3N4/CdS/NiS for photoreforming of plastic and clean hydrogen regeneration.

Converting plastics into organic matter by photoreforming is an emerging way to deal with plastic pollution and produce valuable organic matter. Water shortage can be alleviated by using seawater resources. To solve these problems, we synthesize a ternary heterostructure composite g-C3N4/CdS/NiS. Heterojunctions are formed between graphitized carbon nitride (g-C3N4), cadmium sulfide (CdS) and nickel sulfide (NiS), which effectively improve the problem of fast charge recombination of pure g-C3N4 and CdS. The results of the g-C3N4/CdS/NiS photocatalytic tests show that the hydrogen production rates in seawater and pure water for 5 h are 30.44 and 25.79 mmol/g/h, respectively. In stability test, the hydrogen production rate of the g-C3N4/CdS/NiS in seawater and pure water is similar. This suggests that seawater can replace pure water as a source of hydrogen. While H2 is generated, the lactate obtained by polylactic acid (PLA) hydrolysis is oxidized to form small organic compounds such as formate, acetate and pyruvate. Our study shows that g-C3N4/CdS/NiS can not only use seawater as a hydrogen source to produce H2, but also photoreformate plastics dissolved in seawater into valuable small organic molecules. This has a positive impact on the production and use of clean energy, as well as on plastic pollution and water scarcity.

EEG responses to infant faces in young adults can be influenced by the quality of early care experiences with caregivers.

BACKGROUND: The quality of early experiences with caregivers affects individual adjustment and can modulate adults' responses to salient social stimuli, like infant faces. However, in the framework of Interpersonal Acceptance-Rejection Theory (IPARTheory), no research to date has examined whether early experiences of acceptance or rejection from caregivers are associated with individual differences in the electrophysiological (EEG) responses to infant faces. OBJECTIVE: This study examined the associations between the perceived quality of care during childhood and the behavioral and EEG responses to infant and adult faces in non-parent young adults. METHODS: N = 60 non-parent young adults (30 males; 30 females) completed an Emotion Recognition task displaying emotional and unemotional infant and adult faces during an EEG recording. Memories of past care experiences with mothers and fathers were collected using the short form version of the Parental Acceptance-Rejection scale. RESULTS: At the behavioral level, slower Reaction Times (RTs) in recognizing all faces were related to higher levels of perceived maternal rejection in young adults; in particular, males who reported higher levels of maternal rejection displayed longer RTs in recognizing faces compared to females. At the neurophysiological level, as the level of perceived paternal rejection increased, the N170 amplitude to infant faces increased. Females who reported higher levels of paternal rejection, compared to males, had a larger increase in the N170 amplitude and a larger decrease in the LPP amplitude in response to emotional faces. CONCLUSIONS: While a higher perception of maternal rejection hindered the behavioral responses of adults in recognizing faces, those who felt more rejected by their own father during childhood showed an enhanced N170 amplitude to infant faces. This might reflect a greater need for discrimination resources, at a very early stage of infant face processing, in those adults who perceived higher levels of paternal rejection. Adults' sex modulated the associations found at the behavioral and neurophysiological levels. Overall, our findings extended the IPARTheory postulates that being neglected during childhood might trigger perceptual changes in adults, hindering the elaboration of social cues like infant and adult faces at different levels.

4D-QSAR, ADMET properties, and molecular dynamics simulations for designing N-substituted urea/thioureas as human glutaminyl cyclase inhibitors.

Human glutaminyl cyclase (hQC) inhibitors have great potential to be used as anti- Alzheimer's disease (AD) agents by reducing the toxic pyroform of ß-amyloid in the brains of AD patients. The four-dimensional quantitative structure activity relationship (4D-QSAR) model of N-substituted urea/thioureas was established with satisfying predictive ability and statistical reliability (Q2 = 0.521, R2 = 0.933, R2prep = 0.619). By utilizing the developed 4D-QSAR model, a set of new N-substituted urea/thioureas was designed and evaluated for their Absorption Distribution Metabolism Excretion and Toxicity (ADMET) properties. The results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, Principal component analysis (PCA), free energy landscape (FEL), dynamic cross-correlation matrix (DCCM) and molecular mechanics generalized Born Poisson-Boltzmann surface area (MM-PBSA) free energy calculations, revealed that the designed compounds were remained stable in protein binding pocket and compounds b ∼ f (-35.1 to -44.55 kcal/mol) showed higher binding free energy than that of compound 14 (-33.51 kcal/mol). The findings of this work will be a theoretical foundation for further research and experimental validation of urea/thiourea derivatives as hQC inhibitors.

Trophic plasticity of a tropical seabird revealed through DNA metabarcoding and stable isotope analyses.

DNA metabarcoding and stable isotope analysis have significantly advanced our understanding of marine trophic ecology, aiding systematic research on foraging habits and species conservation. In this study, we employed these methods to analyse faecal and blood samples, respectively, to compare the trophic ecology of two Red-billed Tropicbird (Phaethonaethereus; Linnaeus, 1758) colonies on Mexican islands in the Pacific. Trophic patterns among different breeding stages were also examined at both colonies. Dietary analysis reveals a preference for epipelagic fish, cephalopods, and small crustaceans, with variations between colonies and breeding stages. Isotopic values (δ15N and δ13C) align with DNA metabarcoding results, with wider niches during incubation stages. Differences in diet are linked to environmental conditions and trophic plasticity among breeding stages, influenced by changing physiological requirements and prey availability. Variations in dietary profiles reflect contrasting environmental conditions affecting local prey availability.

Roles of m6A modification in regulating PPER pathway in cadmium-induced pancreatic ß cell death.

Cadmium can lead to the death of pancreatic ß cells, thus affecting the synthesis and secretion of insulin. However, the specific mechanisms underlying the cadmium-induced pancreatic ß cell death have not been fully understood. In this study, roles of m6A modification in regulating protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum (PPER) pathway in cadmium-induced pancreatic ß cell death were explored. Our results demonstrated that cell viability and RNA m6A modification level were decreased, while apoptosis rates increased after CdSO4 treatment in pancreatic ß cells (NIT-1). In addition, expressions of Bcl-2, Xbp1, Col3a1, Bax, Chop, Dnajb1, and Hsp90aa1 were all significantly changed in CdSO4 treatment cells. The m6A agonist entacapone (Ent) can prominently reverse the cytotoxicity effects of CdSO4 and alleviate the changes of protein expression induced by CdSO4 treatment. By contrast, m6A inhibitor 3-Deazaadenosine (DAA) can synergistically enhance the cytotoxicity of CdSO4 and aggravate the disorder of protein levels caused by CdSO4 treatment. Interestingly, the results of the immunoprecipitation experiment indicate that Ythdc2, one of m6A binding proteins, may regulate the PPER pathway molecules in an m6A-dependent manner. In summary, our findings provide new directions for the prevention and treatment of the impairment of pancreatic ß cell function induced by cadmium.

Pyric herbivory decreases soil denitrification despite increased nitrate availability in a temperate grassland.

Pyric herbivory, the combination of controlled burning and targeted grazing, is an effective strategy for restoring abandoned, shrub-encroached rangelands to open ecosystems. This practice may impact soil nitrogen pools by altering soil nitrification and denitrification rates, and may lead to an increase of nitrogen losses through nitrate leaching and N-gas emissions. This research, located in the south-western Pyrenees, investigated the effects of pyric herbivory on soil nitrification and denitrification potentials and mineral nitrogen content in a gorse-encroached temperate rangeland six months after the burning was implemented. The study included three treatments: high-severity burning plus grazing, low-severity burning plus grazing, and unburned and ungrazed areas (control). We measured soil nitrification and denitrification potentials (net and gross), the limitation of denitrifiers by nitrogen or organic carbon, and the abundance of nitrite- and nitrous oxide-reducing bacteria. Additional soil and vegetation data complemented these measurements. Results showed that pyric herbivory did not significantly affect nitrification potential, which was low and highly variable. However, it decreased gross denitrification potential and nitrous oxide reduction to dinitrogen in high-severely burned areas compared to the control. Denitrification rates directly correlated with microbial biomass nitrogen, soil organic carbon, soil water content and abundance of nirS-harbouring bacteria. Contrary to the expected, soil nitrate availability did not directly influence denitrification despite being highest in burned areas. Overall, the study suggests that pyric herbivory does not significantly affect mid-term nitrification rates in temperate open ecosystems, but may decrease denitrification rates in intensely burned areas. These findings highlight the importance of assessing the potential impacts of land management practices, such as pyric herbivory, on soil nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Synergistic mechanisms of denitrification in FeS2-based constructed wetlands: Effects of organic carbon availability under day-night alterations.

In constructed wetlands (CWs), carbon source availability profoundly affected microbial metabolic activities engaged in both iron cycle and nitrogen metabolism. However, research gaps existed in understanding the biotransformation of nitrogen and iron in response to fluctuations in organic carbon content under day-night alterations. Results demonstrated increased removal efficiency of NO3--N (95.7 %) and NH4+-N (75.70 %) under light conditions, attributed to increased total organic carbon (TOC). This enhancement promoted the relative abundance of bacteria involved in nitrogen and iron processes, establishing a more stable microbial network. Elevated TOC content also upregulated genes for iron metabolism and glycolysis, facilitating denitrification. Spearman correlation analysis supported the synergistic mechanisms between FeS2-based autotrophic denitrification and TOC-mediated heterotrophic denitrification under light conditions. The significant impact of carbon sources on microbial activities underscores the critical role of organic carbon availability in enhancing nitrogen removal efficiency, providing valuable insights for optimizing FeS2-based CWs design and operation strategies.

Detection of influenza A(H3N2) viruses with polymerase acidic subunit substitutions after and prior to baloxavir marboxil treatment during the 2022-2023 influenza season in Japan.

Baloxavir marboxil (baloxavir), approved as an anti-influenza drug in Japan in March 2018, can induce reduced therapeutic effectiveness due to PA protein substitutions. We assessed PA substitutions in clinical samples from influenza-infected children and adults pre- and post-baloxavir treatment, examining their impact on fever and symptom duration. During the 2022-2023 influenza season, the predominant circulating influenza subtype detected by cycling-probe RT-PCR was A(H3N2) (n=234), with a minor circulation of A(H1N1)pdm09 (n=10). Of the 234 influenza A(H3N2) viruses collected prior to baloxavir treatment, 2 (0.8%) viruses carry PA/I38T substitution. One virus was collected from a toddler and one from an adult, indicating the presence of viruses with reduced susceptibility to baloxavir, without prior exposure to the drug. Of the 54 paired influenza A(H3N2) viruses collected following baloxavir treatment, 8 (14.8%) viruses carried E23K/G, or I38M/T substitutions in PA. Variant calling through next-generation sequencing (NGS) showed varying proportions (6 to 100 %), a polymorphism and a mixture of PA/E23K/G, and I38M/T substitutions in the clinical samples. These eight viruses were obtained from children aged 7-14 years, with a median fever duration of 16.7 hours and a median symptom duration of 93.7 hours, which were similar to those of the wild type. However, the delayed viral clearance associated with the emergence of PA substitutions was observed. No substitutions conferring resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors were detected in 37 paired samples collected before and following oseltamivir treatment. These findings underscore the need for ongoing antiviral surveillance, informing public health strategies and clinical antiviral recommendations for seasonal influenza.

This research presents an innovative reflective fiber optic probe structure, mutinously designed to detect H7N9 avian influenza virus gene precisely. This innovative structure skillfully combines multimode fiber (MMF) with a thin-diameter seven-core photonic crystal fiber (SCF-PCF), forming a semi-open Fabry-Pérot (FPI) cavity. This structure has demonstrated exceptional sensitivity in light intensity-refractive index (RI) response through rigorous theoretical and experimental validation. The development of a quasi-distributed parallel sensor array, which provides temperature compensation during measurements, has achieved a remarkable RI response sensitivity of up to 532.7 dB/RIU. The probe-type fiber optic sensitive unit, expertly functionalized with streptavidin, offers high specificity in detecting H7N9 avian influenza virus gene, with an impressively low detection limit of 10-2 pM. The development of this biosensor marks a significant development in biological detection, offering a practical engineering solution for achieving high sensitivity and specificity in light-intensity-modulated biosensing. Its potential for wide-ranging applications in various fields is now well-established.
