In this study, a pretreatment method based on a magnetic capture probe for the rapid isolation and enrichment of bacteria from raw pork was developed. The chitosan immobilized FeO@MIL-100(Fe) was prepared as a capture probe for total bacterial counts through the electrostatic interaction of positively charged chitosan and the negatively charged substances on the surface of bacteria. The interference of matrix in pork samples on this method was studied and removed by differential centrifugation. The results showed the capture probe had a great selectivity binding and magnetic separation properties for the tested six common bacteria in pork. Under the optimal conditions, the capture efficiency of the bacteria (10 CFU mL) from pork surface samples was all above 90%. The capture efficiency of the bacteria in a homogenate system was greatly decreased due to the interference of sarcoplasmic protein and myofibrillar protein in pork. The matrix effect was mitigated by a differential centrifugation method, and the capture efficiency of all six bacteria was >80%. The developed magnetic separation method took 40 min and showed good isolation and enrichment properties of bacteria. Thus, the proposed method is expected to provide a simple, convenient, and time-saving pretreatment method for the detection of total bacterial counts in pork.

The biophysical properties of single cells are crucial for understanding cellular function and behavior in biology and medicine. However, precise manipulation of cells in 3-D microfluidic environments remains challenging, particularly for heterogeneous populations. Here, we present "Electro-LEV," a unique platform integrating electromagnetic and magnetic levitation principles for dynamic 3-D control of cell position during separation.

The rapid advancement of implantable medical electronic devices has spurred substantial research into implantable energy storage systems. However, the presence of multiple film resistors in traditional sandwich structures impedes further enhancements in the electrochemical performance of supercapacitors and may result in contact failures between electrodes and separators or catastrophic short-circuit failures during tissue deformation. This study introduces a novel approach for fabricating all-in-one Zn-ion hybrid supercapacitors, which effectively mitigates performance degradation and safety concerns arising from interfacial issues.

Inorganic nanomaterial-based peroxidase mimics have recently emerged as promising alternatives to natural peroxidases for enhancing the detection sensitivity of bioassays, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Among them, magnetically active peroxidase mimics are particularly advantageous due to their ability to facilitate efficient separation and enrichment of target analytes. However, most reported magnetic peroxidase mimics suffer from limited catalytic efficiency and stability.

Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO), a perovskite oxide with both ferroelectric and antiferromagnetic properties, has emerged as a promising material for environmental cleanup due to its piezo-photocatalytic activity. The material's ability to degrade organic pollutants, such as azo dyes, under both light irradiation and mechanical stress (ultrasonic waves) offers a dual-action mechanism for efficient wastewater treatment. In this work, we explore the synthesis of BiFeO nanoparticles a simple sol-gel method, followed by characterization of their structural, magnetic, and photocatalytic properties.

Objective: Construct a predictive model for rehabilitation outcomes in ischemic stroke patients 3 months post-stroke using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) images, as well as synchronized electroencephalography (EEG) and electromyography (EMG) time series data.
Methods: A total of 102 hemiplegic patients with ischemic stroke were recruited. Resting - state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans were carried out on all patients and 86 of them underwent simultaneous electroencephalogram (EEG) and electromyogram (EMG) examinations.
