    Abstract Arsenic (As) constitutes a substantial threat to global ecosystems and public health. An accurate quantification of inorganic arsenite (As(III)) in rice grains is crucial for ensuring food safety and human well-being. Herein, we constructed an electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor utilizing aggregation-induced emission (AIE) active Pdots for the sensitive detection of As(III) in rice. We synthesized tetraphenylethylene-based AIE-active Pdots, exhibiting stable and highly efficient ECL emission in their aggregated states. Owing to the overlap of spectra, we employed an electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) system, with the Pdots as the donor and black hole quencher (BHQ) as the acceptor. Upon the introduction of As(III), the conformational changes of As(III)-specific aptamer could trigger the detachment of BHQ-labeled DNA aptamer from the electrode surface, leading to the recovery of the ECL signal. The target-induced "signal-on" bioassay enabled the sensitive and specific detection of As(III) with a linear range of 10 pM to 500 nM, with an ultralow limit of detection (LOD) of 5.8 pM/0.4 ppt. These values significantly surpass those of existing sensors designed for As(III) quantification in rice. Furthermore, by employing amylase hydrolysis for efficient extraction, we successfully applied our sensor to measure As(III) in actual rice samples sourced from diverse regions of China. The results obtained using our sensor were in close agreement with those derived from the reference method of HPLC-ICP-MS. This study not only presents a sensitive and reliable method for detecting arsenite but also underscores its potential applications in enhancing food safety, agriculture practices, and environmental monitoring.

    Abstract The Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 2022 was awarded to the pioneers of Lego-like 'click chemistry': combinatorial chemistry with remarkable modularity and diversity. It has been applied to a wide variety of biological systems, from microorganisms to plants and animals, including humans. Although click chemistry is a powerful chemical biology tool, comparatively few studies have examined its potential in plant science. Here, we review click chemistry reactions and their applications in plant systems, highlighting the activity-based probes and metabolic labeling strategies combined with bioorthogonal click chemistry to visualize plant biological processes. These applications offer new opportunities to explore and understand the underlying molecular mechanisms regulating plant composition, growth, metabolism, defense, and immune responses.

    Abstract Small floodgates in the river network area own some characteristics: considerable quantity, wide range and short adjustment time, and intercepts the one-dimensional constant flow of rivers, which induce a great impact on riverine water quality. In this study, a typical urban floodgate-controlled reach was selected, and analyzed through the monthly data of four pollutant indicators TN, TP, CODMₙ and NH₃-N at six sampling sites S1–S6 in 2016–2018. The principal component analysis and correlation analysis showed that TP was a representative indicator and there was a positive correlation between various pollutants. The difference test and linear regression showed that the concentration of pollutants at different sampling points varied greatly, and the pollutant concentrations in the longitudinal direction of the river showed a cubic-linear regression. The cluster system and CCME WQI showed that the water quality in the urban floodgate-controlled reach is “marginal” state, and TN and NH₃-N are severely exceeding the standard. The “cumulative changes” of the floodgate on the pollutant input to the environment appeared spatial heterogeneity.

    Abstract Rice is a major dietary source of inorganic arsenic (iAs), a highly toxic arsenical that accumulates in rice and poses health risks to rice-based populations. However, the availability of detection methods for iAs in rice grains is limited. In this study, we developed a novel approach utilizing a natural bacterial biosensor, Escherichia coli AW3110 (pBB-ArarsR-mCherry), in conjunction with amylase hydrolysis for efficient extraction, enabling high-throughput and quantitative detection of iAs in rice grains. The biosensor exhibits high specificity for arsenic and distinguishes between arsenite [As­(III)] and arsenate [As­(V)] by modulating the concentration of PO₄ ³– in the detection system. We determined the iAs concentrations in 19 rice grain samples with varying total As concentrations and compared our method with the standard technique of microwave digestion coupled with HPLC-ICP-MS. Both methods exhibited comparable results, without no significant bias in the concentrations of As­(III) and As­(V). The whole-cell biosensor demonstrated excellent reproducibility and a high signal-to-noise ratio, achieving a limit of detection of 16 μg kg–¹ [As­(III)] and 29 μg kg–¹ [As­(V)]. These values are considerably lower than the maximum allowable level (100 μg kg–¹) for infant rice supplements established by the European Union. Our straightforward sensing strategy presents a promising tool for detecting iAs in other food samples.

    Abstract The contractile activity, high oxygen consumption and metabolic rate of skeletal muscle cause it to continuously produce moderate levels of oxidant species, such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS). Under normal physiological conditions, there is a dynamic balance between the production and elimination of ROS/RNS. However, when the oxidation products exceed the antioxidant defense capacity, the body enters a state of oxidative stress. Myogenesis is an important process to maintain muscle homeostasis and the physiological function of skeletal muscle. Accumulating evidence suggests that oxidative stress plays a key role in myogenesis and skeletal muscle physiology and pathology. In this review, we summarize the sources of reactive oxygen species in skeletal muscle and the causes of oxidative stress and analyze the key role of oxidative stress in myogenesis. Then, we discuss the relationship between oxidative stress and muscle homeostasis and physiopathology. This work systematically summarizes the role of oxidative stress in myogenesis and muscle diseases and provides targets for subsequent antioxidant therapy and repair of inflammatory damage in noninflammatory muscle diseases.

    Abstract Skeletal muscle fibers contain a large number of mitochondria, which produce ATP through oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and provide energy for muscle contraction. In this process, mitochondria also produce several types of "reactive species" as side product, such as reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species which have attracted interest. Mitochondria have been proven to have an essential role in the production of skeletal muscle reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS). Traditionally, the elevation in RONS production is related to oxidative stress, leading to impaired skeletal muscle contractility and muscle atrophy. However, recent studies have shown that the optimal RONS level under the action of antioxidants is a critical physiological signal in skeletal muscle. Here, we will review the origin and physiological functions of RONS, mitochondrial structure and function, mitochondrial dynamics, and the coupling between RONS and mitochondrial oxidative stress. The crosstalk mechanism between mitochondrial function and RONS in skeletal muscle and its regulation of muscle stem cell fate and myogenesis will also be discussed. In all, this review aims to describe a comprehensive and systematic network for the interaction between skeletal muscle mitochondrial function and RONS.

    Abstract Floodgate operation is one of the main forms of river regulation in the development and utilization of river basins. It changes the natural structure, flow process, and correlative environment of rivers. However, there is little analysis of the multiple impacts of small floodgate operation on the water environment in river networks and of the regulation patterns of urban floodgate infrastructure on pollution. In this paper, a one-dimensional hydrodynamic-water quality model, MIKE 11, was used, taking Wuxi's two main pollutant indicators-the permanganate index (COD
