Rolling Circle Amplification-based Copper Nanoparticle Synthesis on Cyclic Olefin Copolymer Substrate and Its Application in Aptasensor.

This study aimed to develop a label-free fluorescent aptasensor for the detection of diazinon (DZN) on a cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) substrate. The aptasensor design was based on rolling circle amplification (RCA) technology and the use of self-assembled copper nanoparticles (CuNPs). A dual-function (DF) probe, capable of binding to circular DNA and an aptamer, was designed and immobilized on a COC-bottom 96-well plate. An aptamer was used for selective recognition of DZN, and the specific site of the aptamer that strongly reacted with DZN was successfully identified using circular dichroism (CD) analysis. In presence of DZN, the aptamer and DZN formed a strong complex, thus providing an opportunity for hybridization of the DF probe and circular DNA, thereby initiating an RCA reaction. Repetitive poly thymine (T) sequence with a length of 30-mer, generated in the RCA reaction, served as a template for the synthesis of fluorescent copper nanoparticles, emitting an orange fluorescence signal (at approximately 620 nm) proportional to the amount of RCA product, within 10 min under UV irradiation. The CuNP fluorescence was imaged and quantified using an image analysis software. A linear correlation of the fluorescence signal was confirmed in the DZN concentration range of 0.1–3 ppm, with a detection limit of 0.15 ppm. Adoption of a label-free detection method, utilizing RCA and fluorescent CuNPs on COC substrates, reduced the need for complex equipment and requirements for DZN analysis, thereby representing a simple and rapid sensing method circumventing the limitations of current complex and labor-intensive methods.Electronic Supplementary Material (ESM)The online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s12257-021-0220-0) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Retraction and republication - effect of antenatal magnesium sulphate on MRI biomarkers of white matter development at term equivalent age: The MagNUM Study.

On August 25, 2020, eBioMedicine published online findings from a nested cohort study within the randomised Magnesium sulphate at 30 to <34 weeks’ Gestational age Neuroprotection Trial (MAGENTA). On November 17, 2021, the authors drew our attention to an error that was discovered when the dataset for the parent randomised trial was being finalised. The original MagNUM analysis was conducted blind to treatment group allocation, and an incorrect code was used at the end of that analysis to identify the magnesium sulphate and placebo study groups. Therefore, the group allocations to the magnesium sulphate and placebo study groups in the paper were inadvertently reversed, making the findings, as reported, unreliable. eBioMedicine editors discussed the corrections that were needed in the paper and decided, in accordance with the Committee on Publication Ethics’ guidelines, that because of the extent of the changes necessary, the previous version of the Article should be retracted. As these data are still worthy of publication, a corrected version will be republished after reanalysis and rereview. Today we retract the previous version and republish online the corrected version of the article DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2022.103923 in which the results are unchanged apart from the treatment group assignment. The figures and tables have been corrected accordingly, and the overall message has been modified to convey that antenatal magnesium sulphate prior to preterm birth after 30 weeks’ gestation does not promote white matter development in pathways affecting motor and cognitive function. The previous version of the Article has been added to the appendix in the new version and is marked retracted. The Editors of eBioMedicine. None.

This suggests that if the neuroprotective effect of magnesium sulphate treatment prior to preterm birth is confirmed at this gestation, the mechanisms are not related to accelerated white matter maturation inferred from fractional anisotropy.

A Review of Network Security Strategies Employed By the Nigerian Banking Sector (Case Study of Access Bank PLC, Bariga, Lagos, Nigeria)

The security of banking infrastructures viz-a-viz customer funds, investments and deposits are Germaine to successful banking operations. This study reviews computer and network security strategies employed in the banking sector using Access Bank Nigeria PLC, Bariga Branch in Lagos state. Our efforts discovered that some of the strategies put in place to mitigate cyber-attacks include the use of passwords, antivirus, firewalls, encryption, intrusion detection systems and intrusion prevention systems. We posited that the deployment, adoption and utilization of the integrated banking systems used by Nigerian banks provides a certain layer of security that aids banking systems security thus mitigating attacks and ensuring that Nigerian banks rarely experience malicious attacks of any form on their systems. We elucidated some of these strategies and provide insights into their effectiveness.

In Vitro Investigation of Therapeutic and Anti-Coagulant Article DOI: Properties of Allium Sativum L. on Human Plasma

The current study was conducted to compare the anti-coagulant activity of different solvent-extracted fractions of garlic in a human blood sample in vitro. Two different solvents, namely rectified spirit and reverse osmosis (RO) water, were used to achieve the desired results. We used multiple extracting approaches to prepare different extract fractions of Allium sativum, both in ethanolic and aqueous extracts. These approaches included maceration, decoction, and soxhlet extraction methods. The concentration of each extract fraction was subjected to a primarily anti-coagulant screening method applied to a human blood sample in vitro by calculating the prothrombin time of human blood coagulation. The anti-coagulant activity of the extracts was determined by measuring the changes in prothrombin time with a null hypothesis value of p&lt; 0.05. Additionally, a qualitative study of active phytochemical elements, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, steroids, proteins, carbohydrates, terpenoids, tannins, and glycosides was also conducted. The results indicated that all garlic extract fractions have a significant anti-coagulant potential. However, at 5 ppm concentration, soxhlet extraction extract showed the maximum anti-coagulant potential. Moreover, Garlic's aqueous extract also showed a significant anti-coagulant effect on human plasma. This observation conforms to the finding that the soxhlet extracted sample of garlic showed the highest activity of platelet aggregation inhibition. Furthermore, it was determined that aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Allium sativum showed a significant potential of anti-coagulation by comparing the current results with positively controlled EDTA and double oxalate acting as synthetic anti-coagulants.

Nature of seniority symmetry breaking in the semimagic nucleus Ru94

Direct lifetime measurements via γ−γ coincidences using a fast timing detector array consisting of LaBr3(Ce) scintillators has been applied to determine the lifetime of low-lying states in the semimagic (N=50) nucleus Ru94. The experiment was carried out as the first in a series of “FAIR-0” experiments with the DESPEC experimental setup at the Facility for Antiproton and Ion Research (FAIR). Excited states in Ru94 were populated primarily via the β-delayed proton emission of Pd95 nuclei, produced in the projectile fragmentation of an 850 MeV/nucleon Xe124 beam impinging on a 4 g/cm2Be9 target. While the deduced E2 strength for the 2+→0+ transition in the yrast cascade follows the expected behavior for conserved seniority symmetry, the intermediate 4+→2+ transition exhibits a drastic enhancement of transition strength in comparison with pure-seniority model predictions as well as standard shell model predictions in the fpg proton hole space with respect to doubly magic Sn100. The anomalous behavior is ascribed to a subtle interference between the wave function of the lowest seniority ν=2, Iπ=4+ state and that of a close-lying ν=4 state that exhibits partial dynamic symmetry. In addition, the observed strongly prohibitive 6+→4+ transition can be attributed to the same mechanism but with a destructive interference. It is noted that such effects may provide stringent tests of the nucleon-nucleon interactions employed in state-of-the-art theoretical model calculations.Received 17 October 2021Revised 17 January 2022Accepted 11 March 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevC.105.L031304Published by the American Physical Society under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.
