https://www.selleckchem.com/products/m3541.html Thiophenol (PhSH) is an important sulfhydryl compound in organic synthesis, but it is also a volatile environmental pollutant with high toxicity to organisms. Herein, we reported a novel near-infrared (NIR) probe (1) for turn-on fluorescence detection of PhSH. The probe was prepared by coupling 2,4-dinitrophenyl (DNP) to a dicyanoisophorone-based fluorophore (2). PhSH can specifically perform a nucleophilic aromatic substitution on probe 1 and result in the release of fluorophore 2, thus achieving a turn-on fluorescence response (λem = 693 nm). A dramatic color change from red (λabs = 525 nm) to blue (λabs = 668 nm) was also observed. This fluorescent assay displayed a large Stokes shift (∼133 nm) and a high sensitivity for PhSH, as well as a low detection limit (34 nM). Moreover, probe 1 was successfully applied to monitor PhSH in real water samples and image PhSH in living cells.Objective We investigated views towards the Internet in a sample of Italian healthcare specialists involved in epilepsy field, to identify factors associated with the attitude of being influenced by information found on the Internet. Methods This study was a self-administered survey conducted in a group of members of the Italian Chapter of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) in January 2018. Results 184 questionnaires were analyzed. 97.8 % of responders reported to seek online information on epilepsy. The Internet was most frequently searched to obtain new information (69.9 %) or to confirm a diagnostic or therapeutic decision (37.3 %). The influence of consulting the Internet on clinical practice was associated with registration to social network(s) (OR 2.94; 95 %CI 1.28-6.76; p = 0.011), higher frequency of Internet use (OR 3.66; 95 %CI 1.56-9.21; p = 0.006) and higher confidence in reliability of online information (OR 2.61; 95 %CI 1.09-6.26; p = 0.031). No association was found with age, sex, years in epilepsy practice or eas
