In this paper, visual detection of trace lead ion was established by aptamer and silver staining. The basic strategy was that aminated PS2.M aptamer was immobilized onto slide and formed stable G-quadruplex structure. PbS was generated by adding S 2− , and it catalyzed subsequent silver staining reaction, through the silver staining amplification effect, the slide presented visible ash black. The gray value of slide after silver staining was analyzed and the semi-quantitative detection of Pb 2+ in solution was realized. The results showed that optical darkness ratio (ODR) and logarithmic value of Pb 2+ concentration had a good linear relationship (R 2 = 0.951) over the range of 0.5–10 μM. In addition, there was no obvious interference of other common metal ions for the detection, indicating that this method presented outstanding selectivity. And it was also used for qualitative and semi-quantitative determination of Pb 2+ in soil sample successfully.

This study has developed a new membrane based visualization method for the detection of ultratrace lead and cadmium ions. The basic steps were mainly as follows. Dithizone (Dz) was adsorbed on cellulose acetate membrane (CAM) and formed Dz-Pb 2+ /Cd 2+ complexes in the presence of lead and cadmium ions. Then the complexes were converted into Dz-PbS/CdS composites after further processing with sulfide ions. While the new formed Dz-PbS/CdS composites could act as a catalyst in the subsequent silver stain reaction. With the silver nanoparticles depositing on CAM, the color of the membrane turned gray to black, which could be observed by naked eye. Semi-quantitative analysis of Pb 2+ /Cd 2+ was performed according to the ΔAverage gray value of CAM grayscale images. Results showed that under the optimal conditions, ΔAverage gray value had a good linear relation with the logarithm of the Pb 2+ /Cd 2+ concentration in the range from 1 nM to 100 nM, and the naked eye detection limit could reach 1 nM (∼0.0002 mg L −1 ). Besides, other common metal ions had no significant interference with the detection, indicating that the method had a good selectivity. Satisfactory results were obtained for the detection of Pb 2+ /Cd 2+ in real samples (lake water and soil samples).

A novel electrochemical gene detection method based on bio-barcode/gold label silver stain (GLSS) dual amplification is presented. The silica nanoparticle/gold nanoparticles (SiO2/AuNPs) barcode probes were constructed by combining SiO2 nanoparticle-labeled DNA
with AuNPs, which hybridizes with target DNAs and the electrode surface-modified DNA probes. The silver ions were reduced on the surface of AuNPs to form a silver shell by the catalysis of AuNPs, and then the electrochemical detection of deposited silver was performed by linear sweep voltammetry
(LSV). In this paper, the effects of electrode blocking agent, blocking time and silver deposition time on electrochemical detection were also investigated. The proposed electrochemical DNA biosensor bring forth a low detection limit of 0.23 fM and a widely linear range of 1 fM to 10 pM. This
method can clearly distinguish the complementary and mismatched DNA, with good repeatability and stability.

Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) are emerging pollutants that pose significant threats to both the environment and human health. Rapid detection of ARGs is essential for monitoring their levels and controlling their spread. However, traditional detection methods are often time-consuming and require specialized equipment, leading to delays. To address this issue, this study developed a novel method for visual microarray detection of ARGs, including sul1, tetA, qepA, macB, and vanR. This method employs ARG-specific dual probes combined with silver staining signal cascade amplification technology. A centrifuge-free concentration device has been developed that can directly enrich nucleic acid fragments from environmental samples, with traditional nucleic acid extraction and PCR amplification being eliminated. Using a dual probe combined with silver staining enhancement dual probe amplification technology, rapid high-throughput detection of low-concentration ARG is achieved. No specialized equipment is required, and on-site visual detection of ARG was realized. The detection method can detect target genes (sul1, tetA, qepA, macB, and vanR) within a concentration range of 0.411 µg mL−1 to 55.9 µg mL−1, with the lowest detectable target gene concentration being 0.411 µg mL−1. This study marks the first integration of a centrifuge-free concentration device, specific dual probes, and silver staining signal cascade amplification technology to establish a rapid visual detection method for ARGs using a microarray. The developed detection method holds significant potential not only for the detection and monitoring of ARGs but also as a prototype for devising future detection strategies.

Catalytic hemin was first remolded with biomineralized gold to form Hemin-Au core and further encapsulated into the Tb metal organic framework (MOF) matrix. The so obtained Hemin-Au@MOF composites could possess high environmental stability and especially double catalysis activities of enhanced peroxidase-like and gold catalysis. Steady state kinetics studies indicate that Hemin-Au@MOF could present much higher intrinsic catalysis and substrate affinity (lower Michaelis constants) than native hemin and even natural peroxidase . Furthermore, the catalytic composites were employed for labeling antibodies towards the sandwiched immunoassays for alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) as a model biomarker of cancers. The results indicate that the Hemin-Au@MOF-based immunoassays could be conducted by two signal amplification ways of hemin-catalyzed chromogenic reaction and gold-catalyzed silver staining, enabling the detection of AFP in blood with the level down to 0.020 ng mL −1 . Importantly, the proposed fabrication protocol combining the gold biomineralization and MOF encapsulation routes may be extended for the fabrication of a variety of enzymes or enzymatic mimics with the improved environmental stability and multiple catalysis activities for the wide catalysis applications.

Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder mainly characterized by β-amyloid deposit and tau hyperphosphorylation with no curative treatments. Curcumin (Cur) has been proved to have potential use in Alzheimer’s disease with its anti-amyloid, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties, etc. However, its hydrophobicity and low bioavailability hinder its application. In this paper, we designed a novel brain-target nanoparticle, poly(lactide-co-glycolide)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) (PLGA-PEG) conjugated with B6 peptide and was loaded with Cur (PLGA-PEG-B6/Cur) and administered it into HT22 cells and APP/PS1 Al transgenic mice. The in vitro assays including dynamic light scattering (DLS), flow cytometry (FCM), red blood cell (RBC) lysis, and thromboelastography (TEG) analysis indicated that this nanoparticle could narrow the diameter of Cur, increase its cellular uptake and possess good blood compatibility. The results from Morris water maze proved that PLGA-PEG-B6/Cur could tremendously improve the spatial learning and memory capability of APP/PS1 mice, compared with native Cur. The ex vivo assays including Bielschowsky silver staining, immunostaining, and western blotting demonstrated that PLGA-PEG-B6/Cur could reduce hippocampal β-amyloid formation and deposit and tau hyperphosphorylation. Thus, we suggested that PLGA-PEG-B6/Cur nanoparticles would be of potential and promising use for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

The occurrence and development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is closely related to neuronal loss, inflammatory response, cholinergic imbalance, and Tau protein hyperphosphorylation. Previous studies have confirmed that Streptozotocin (STZ) can be used to establish a rat model of AD by injecting it into the rat brain via the lateral ventricle. Our previous research showed that Danshentone IIA (Tan IIA) can improve cognitive dysfunction in rats caused by CC chemokine ligand 2, and network pharmacology results show that Tan IIA is very likely to improve AD symptoms through the cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (CREB), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and tyrosine kinase receptor protein (TrkB) pathway. The results of the water maze experiment showed that after Tan IIA treatment, the escape latency of AD rats was shortened and the number of platform crossings increased; in the new object recognition experiment, the discrimination index of AD rats significantly increased after treatment; Nissl staining and Tunel staining results showed that Tan IIA increased the number of surviving neurons in the hippocampus of cognitively impaired rats and reduced neuronal apoptosis; Bielschowsky silver staining results showed that Tan IIA reduced neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) in the AD rats; Tan IIA can reduce the inflammatory response and oxidative stress reaction in the hippocampus of AD rats, and at the same time reduce the activity of acetylcholinesterase. Tan IIA can significantly increase the expression of CREB, BDNF, TrkB in the hippocampal tissue of STZ-injured rats (P < 0.05). These data suggest that Tan IIA may upregulate the expression of the CREB-BDNF-TrkB signaling pathway in the hippocampus of brain tissue, produce anti-neuroinflammatory, antioxidant stress, inhibit neuronal apoptosis effects, and improve cholinergic neurotransmitter disorder induced by STZ, reduce the neuronal damage and learning and memory impairment caused by STZ in rats, and improve the cognitive function of rats.
