Article Abstract
In the present article, the sensitizing effect of Triton X-100 microemulsion media (Triton X-100-M) on the determination of L-tryptophan by fluorescence spectrophotometry was studied, which was based on a strong fluorescence substance produced when L-tryptophan was oxidized by Ce4+ in acid medium. Compared with Triton X-100 micelle (Triton X-100-m), it was found that in the medium of Triton X-100-M the intensity of fluorescence was enhanced by 225 times. Various factors that influence fluorescence determination and interfering ions were examined. The mechanism of sensitizing effect of Triton X-100 microemulsion was also discussed. Under the optimum conditions, the liner range and detection limit are 0.1-1.0 g x mL(-1) and 0.09 microg x mL(-1) (correlation coefficient r = 0.998 4), respectively. The linear equation was F = 342.37+30.45c. The proposed method has been successfully applied to determine food samples.

The urgent need to replace the European-prohibited Triton X-100 in biomanufacturing has been hindered by insufficient data on alternative detergents' minimum effective concentrations (MECs) and process robustness in viral inactivation. This study makes systematic research including: (1) Establishment of MECs for novel Triton X-100 substitutes (TXR-1/VIS/13-S9/C16) achieving effective inactivation of Xenotropic murine leukemia virus and Pseudorabies virus (log reduction factor >4) across diverse CHO harvest fluids; (2) Demonstration of broad-spectrum efficacy against various viruses, with TXR-1/VIS/13-S9 maintaining effective inactivation for Bovine viral diarrhea virus, Vesicular stomatitis virus, Baculovirus, and Herpes simplex virus type 1; (3) Identification of PS20's material-dependent inactivation dynamics, establishing standalone parameters (4 h at 37°C) that achieve equivalent viral inactivation to traditional tri(n-butyl)phosphate -combined methods without requiring lipase activity-a paradigm shift in detergent application. Crucially, process optimization revealed that extending exposure time (1-4 h) enhanced PS20/PS80 efficacy more effectively than two fold concentration increases, providing cost-effective solutions.

Background: During metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), lipotoxicity induces toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) upregulation and mitochondrial DNA-induced TLR9 activation in the liver, driving metabolic hepatic inflammation. We wondered whether there is augmented erythrocyte TLR9 in MAFLD and we explored the effect of erythrocyte TLR9 activation on cholesterol and sphingomyelin content, glutaminase activity and TLR9, ferroportin and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) levels.
Methods: Twenty-four patients (15 men and nine women) with MAFLD and nine healthy controls (four men and five women) were enrolled.

Environmental transport pathways of antibiotics resemble those of surfactants, and the two often co-exist in aqueous environments, represent a significant ecological risk. Although the individual toxicities of these chemicals are well-documented, their combined effects and the corresponding mixture predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs) have not been adequately investigated. This study examined the combined toxicity of fluoroquinolone antibiotics (levofloxacin (LEV) and enrofloxacin (ENR)) and nonionic surfactant (octylphenol ethoxylate (TritonX-100)) through acute toxicity tests on Daphnia magna, a widely used model organism for freshwater toxicity assessment due to its high sensitivity to pollutants and ecological relevance.

The present work addresses the development of a green analytical method based on slurry sampling to determine Ca, Fe, and Zn in rice. Multivariate optimization techniques (two-level fractional factorial design and Doehlert design) were used to find the experimental conditions that offer the best characteristics for the method. The slurry was made with 0.

Prokaryotes lack precise subcellular organelles but exhibit distinct regions such as cytoplasm, inner membrane, periplasm, and outer membrane, where most biochemical and physiological functions are organized. Thus, understanding the functional characteristics of proteins necessitates elucidating their subcellular localization. However, extracting subcellular proteins from gram-negative bacteria poses challenges due to their complex phospholipid bilayer.
