Abstract
In this study, ginkgo leaves were used as a carbon source to synthesize carbon quantum dots (CQDs) with uniform particle size, high fluorescence (FL) intensity and strong stability, using a hydrothermal method. FL could be quenched by the FL resonance energy transfer effect between CQDs and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), an important FL quenching agent. The electrostatic attraction between thiosemicarbazone (TSC) and citrate on the surface of AuNPs and the formation of a stable Au-S bond between TSC and AuNPs led to the aggregation of AuNPs and thus weakened the quenching effect on CQDs and partly recovered the FL. A sensor in FL mode for the detection of TSC was constructed based on the above-mentioned FL "off" and "on" phenomena. The results showed a good linear correlation in the concentration range 0-1.75 μM, and the limit of detection was as low as 0.05 μM. In addition, the aggregation of AuNPs caused by TSC also led to a change in the absorbance curve and color of the solution; colorimetric and chrominance detection modes were also constructed using these two types of changes, with sensitive responses ranging 0-2.25 μM and 0-1.60 μM and the limits of detection of 0.03 μM and 0.08 μM, respectively. More importantly, these three detection modes obtained satisfactory recovery rates in the detection of the TSC content in river water, liquor and wheat samples, and the detection results were mutually verified (95.18% to 104.96%).

Comp Biochem Physiol C Toxicol Pharmacol 2024; 277:109841.

Abstract
The use of anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) is one of the most commonly employed management methods for pest rodents. ARs compete with vitamin K (VK) required for the synthesis of blood clotting factors in the liver, resulting in inhibition of blood coagulation and often animal death due to hemorrhage. Besides rodents (target species), ARs may affect non-target animal species and humans. Out of hemostasis disturbance, the effects of ARs may be related to the inhibition of proteins that require VK for their synthesis but are not involved in the coagulation process, to their direct cytotoxicity, and their pro-oxidant/proinflammatory activity. A survey of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of these sublethal/asymptomatic AR effects is given in this review. Data from field, clinical, and experimental studies are presented. Knowledge of these mechanisms might improve hazard characterization and identification of potential ecotoxicological risks associated with ARs, contributing to a safer use of these chemicals.
