Background: In recent years, environmental pollution and heavy metal pollution caused by rapid urbanization and industrialization have become increasingly serious. Among them, mercury (II) ion (Hg2+) is one of the highly toxic heavy metal ions, and its pollution comes from various natural resources and human activities. Therefore, people attach great importance to the development of analytical methods for effective analysis and sensitive detection of Hg2+ . Objective: Using grape skin as a green and environmental friendly carbon source, to synthesize fluorescent carbon dots, and try to apply them to the detect the concentration of Hg2+ in water. Method: Using "Hutai No. 8" grape skin as carbon source, fluorescent carbon dots were synthesized by one-step hydrothermal method. Structure and fluorescent properties of the carbon dots were tested using TEM, XPS, XRD and other characterization instruments, and their utilization on detection of mercury ions in the actual water samples was explored. Results: The CDs had a particle size of about 4.8 nm and a spherical shape. There are N-H, C-N, C=O and other functional groups on the surface. It was found that Hg2+ has obvious fluorescence quenching effect on CDs, and thus CDs fluorescence quenching method to detect the concentration Hg2+ was established, and the detection limit is 3.7 μM, which could be applied to test the concentration of Hg2+ in water samples. Conclusion: Using grape skin as carbon source, fluorescent carbon dots were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method. Carbon dots were used to detect mercury ions in water, and a method for detecting mercury ions in actual water samples was established.

Current interest in the presumed benefits of wine in protecting against coronary heart disease prompted us to investigate possible effects of various grape products on vascular function in vitro. Certain wines, grape juices, and grape skin extracts relaxed precontracted smooth muscle of intact rat aortic rings but had no effect on aortas in which the endothelium had been removed. Quercitin and tannic acid, compounds known to be present in grape skins, also produced endothelium-dependent relaxation; two other grape skin compounds, resveratrol and malvidin, did not relax the rings. Phenylephrine-induced contractions were attenuated by prior exposure of aortic rings to grape skin extracts. The extracts also increased guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) levels in intact vascular tissue, and both relaxation and the increase in cGMP were reversed by NG-monomethyl-L-arginine and NG-nitro-L-arginine, competitive inhibitors of the synthesis of the endothelium-derived relaxing factor, nitric oxide (NO). The vasorelaxation induced by grape products therefore appears to be mediated by the NO-cGMP pathway. If such responses occur in vivo, they could conceivably help to maintain a patent coronary artery and thereby possibly contribute to a reduced incidence of coronary heart disease.
