A novel fluorescent probe, LCH , based on dicyanisophorone and carbazole, was prepared for the visual detection of Cu 2+ . The probe LCH could recognize Cu 2+ by fluorescence quenching in EtOH/H 2 O (1/4, v/v) solution, which could be easily identified under the 365 nm UV lamp, and the detection limit was as low as 0.785 μM. The recognition mechanism of probe LCH with Cu 2+ was determined by combining 1 H NMR titration, MS, and theoretical calculations. Practical application experiments showed that probe LCH could be used to detect Cu 2+ in the test strip experiments. Cell imaging experiments showed that the probe LCH owned good cell permeability and could be applied to the imaging of Cu 2+ in HepG2 cells. In addition, fluorescence colocalization experiments showed that LCH could target lipid droplets. These results indicate that the probe LCH will have a good application prospect in environmental detection and clinical medicine.

Lidocaine-loaded nanoparticles are versatile nanomaterials that may be used in pain treatment due to their wound healing properties. The current study describes a wound dressing formulation focused on lidocaine-loaded dextran/ethylene glycol nanoparticles (an anesthetic drug). The lidocaine-loaded
dextran/ethylene glycol membranes were fabricated using lidocaine solutions inside the dextran/ethylene glycol medium. The influence of various experimental conditions on dextran/ethylene glycol nanoparticle formations were examined. The sizes of dextran/ethylene glycol and lidocaine-loaded
dextran/glycol nanoparticles were examined through the HR-SEM. Moreover, the efficacy antibacterial activity of dextran/glycol and lidocaine-loaded dextran/ethylene glycol nanoparticles was evaluated against the microorganisms grampositive and negative. Furthermore, we observed the In Vivo
wound healing of wounds in skin using a mice model over a 16 days period. In this difference to the wounds of untreated mouse, quick healing was observed in the lidocaine-loaded dextran/glycol nanoparticles-treated wounds with fewer injury. These results specify that lidocaine-loaded dextran/ethylene
glycol nanoparticles-based dressing material could be a ground-breaking nanomaterial having wound repair and implantations potential required for wound injury in pain management, which was proven using an animal model.
