Abstract
A novel mitochondrion-targeted Hg2+-specific fluorescent probe 1 based on ESIPT phthalimide was designed and synthesized for the first time. Owing to the blockage of the ESIPT process between the hydroxy group and the carbonyl oxygen of the imide by the diphenylphosphinothioate group, 1 was almost nonfluorescent. After reacting with Hg2+, 1 exhibited a dramatic fluorescence enhancement due to the recovery of the ESIPT process through Hg2+-induced desulfurization-hydrolysis of the diphenylphosphinothioate moiety and the cleavage of the P-O bond. 1 showed a large Stokes shift, rapid response and high sensitivity and selectivity for Hg2+ over other metal ions. Moreover, 1 was successfully employed to image Hg2+ in the mitochondria of living cells.

Fadhila AN, Pramono BA, Muniroh M. Mercury and cadmium-induced inflammatory cytokines activation and its effect on the risk of preeclampsia: a review.

Abstract
During the last decade, there has been an increase in exposure to heavy metals that can affect human health and the environment, especially mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd). These exposures can pollute the rivers or oceans, then contaminating marine organisms. Humans as the last consumer of this food chain cycle can be a place for the bioaccumulation of Hg and Cd, especially for people living in coastal areas, including pregnant women. Exposure to heavy metals Hg and Cd can have a high risk of triggering blood vessel disorders, penetrating the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the placental barrier, one of which can increase the risk of preeclampsia. Several immunological biomarkers such as some cytokines associated with Hg and Cd exposure are also involved in the pathophysiology of preeclampsia, which are the placental implantation process and endothelial dysfunction in pregnant women. Therefore, countries that have a high incidence of preeclampsia should be aware of the environmental factors, especially heavy metal pollution such as Hg and Cd.

Abstract
The health hazard posed by Hg2+ makes it imperative to develop a fast and convenient means for detecting Hg2+ in water samples and living objects. While fluorescence sensing technology is considered a promising candidate, the poor water solubility and fluorescence quenching in aqueous solutions of most existing probes limit their practical application. To overcome this, we developed a natural flavylium-inspired fluorescent probe with excellent water solubility. Our probe demonstrated outstanding performance of high sensitivity (LOD = 0.47 nM), fast response (<10 min), and great selectivity for Hg2+. Notably, we validated its applicability in real water, urine samples, and living cells. Furthermore, the probe was successfully applied to evaluate the effectiveness of antidotes for clinical Hg2+ poisoning.

Abstract
The deleterious toxicity of Hg2+ on ecological and biological system makes it crucial for the precise monitoring of Hg2+. Herein, we prepared a novel "turn-on" chemosensor N'-(4-(methylthio)butan-2-ylidene) rhodamine B hydrazide (denoted as MTRH) by a simple two-step reaction. MTRH exhibited an ultra-low detection limit (LOD) in fluorescence measurement of Hg2+ in pure aqueous media, which was estimated to be 1.3 × 10-9 mol·L-1. Moreover, the proposed chemosensor holds the ability of visualizing Hg2+ by the distinct color change of the solution. The corresponding recognition mechanism was investigated by Job's plots, mass spectrometry and DFT calculation analysis. Importantly, the characteristics such as high sensitivity, low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility of MTRH exhibited in the application of detecting Hg2+ in real water sample and bioimaging of intracellular Hg2+ prove that MTRH is a promising tool to evaluate the levels of Hg2+ in complex biological systems.

Abstract
Heavy metals ions as metallic pollutants are a growing global issue due to their adverse effects on the aquatic ecosystem, and human health. Unfortunately, conventional detection methods such as atomic absorption spectrometry exhibit a relatively low limit of detection and hold numerous disadvantages, and therefore, the development of an efficient method for in-situ and real-time detection of heavy metal residues is of great importance. The aptamer-based sensors offer distinct advantages over antibodies and emerged as a robust sensing platform against various heavy metals due to their high sensitivity, ease of production, simple operations, excellent specificity, better stability, low immunogenicity, and cost-effectiveness. The nucleic acid aptamers in conjugation with nanomaterials can bind to the metal ions with good specificity/selectivity and can be used for on-site monitoring of metal ion residues. This review aimed to provide background information about nanomaterials-based aptasensor, recent advancements in aptamer conjunction on nanomaterials surface, the role of nanomaterials in improving signal transduction, recent progress of nanomaterials-based aptasening procedures (from 2010 to 2022), and future perspectives toward the practical applications of nanomaterials-based aptasensors against hazardous metal ions for food safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological evidence of the associations between metal exposure and gout-related outcomes (including serum uric acid [SUA], hyperuricemia and gout) is scarce. The aim of the study is to investigate the associations of metal exposure with SUA, hyperuricemia and gout in general adults. METHODS In this study, the exposure to five blood metals (mercury, manganese, lead, cadmium and selenium) of general adults was analyzed based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 2011 to 2018 (n = 14,871). Linear, logistic and weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression models were applied to examine the associations of blood metals with gout-related outcomes. Possible dose-response relationships were analyzed through restricted cubic spline regression. RESULTS Compared with the lowest quartile of blood metals, mercury (quartile 2 and 4), lead (quartile 2, 3, and 4) and selenium (quartile 2 and 4) were found to be positively correlated with SUA and hyperuricemia. Higher levels of mercury and lead were associated with gout, but only those in the fourth quartile had statistical significance (OR [95%CI]: 1.39 [1.10-1.75] and 1.905 [1.41-2.57]) respectively). The WQS index of the blood metals was independently correlated with SUA (β [95%CI]: 0.17 [0.13-0.20]), hyperuricemia (OR [95%CI]: 1.29 [1.16-1.42]) and gout (OR [95%CI]: 1.35 [1.15-1.58]). Among them, lead was the most heavily weighted component (weight = 0.589 for SUA, 0.482 for hyperuricemia, and 0.527 for gout). In addition, restricted cubic spline regression models showed a linear association of lead with the prevalence of hyperuricemia and gout. CONCLUSION Our results suggested that blood metal mixtures were positively associated with gout-related outcomes, with the greatest effect coming from lead.

Abstract
Mercury (Hg) is an important heavy metal to consider in marine predators, while selenium (Se) has a natural antagonistic effect on this metal in fish. The Atlantic bluefin tuna (ABFT, Thunnus thynnus) is a pelagic top-level predator of the trophic web and their Hg muscular content is an object of concern in food safety. Nevertheless, little is known about levels of this metal in remaining tissues, which may be important as by-product source, and its relationship with Se. Thus, concentration of both elements in liver, kidney, brain, gill and bone, in addition to muscle, of ABFT were determined. The kidney was the tissue with the highest concentration of Hg (Total-Hg, THg) and Se, and the Se/THg concentration ratio was similar in all tissues, except bone and muscle. The Selenium Health Benefit Value (HBVSe) was positive in each specimen and tissue, indicating that the Se plays an important role against Hg not only in the muscle.
