Hypothesis Construction of dual gatekeepers-functionalized mesoporous organic silica nanoparticles (MONs) with both physical and chemical mechanisms for modulated drug delivery properties provides one solution to the extracellular stability vs. intracellular high therapeutic efficiency of MONs that hold great potential for clinical translations. Experiments We reported herein facile construction of diselenium-bridged MONs decorated with dual gatekeepers, i.e. , azobenzene (Azo)/polydopamine (PDA) for both physical and chemical modulated drug delivery properties. Specifically, Azo can act as a physical barrier to block DOX in the mesoporous structure of MONs for extracellular safe encapsulation. The PDA outer corona serves not only as a chemical barrier with acidic pH-modulated permeability for double insurance of minimized DOX leakage in the extracellular blood circulation but also for inducing a PTT effect for synergistic PTT and chemotherapy of breast cancer. Findings An optimized formulation, DOX@(MONs-Azo3)@PDA resulted in approximately 1.5 and 2.4 fold lower IC50 values than DOX@(MONs-Azo3) and (MONs-Azo3)@PDA controls in MCF-7 cells, respectively, and further mediated complete tumor eradication in 4T1 tumor-bearing BALB/c mice with insignificant systematic toxicity due to the synergistic PTT and chemotherapy with enhanced therapeutic efficiency.

Determining glucose in biological samples is tedious and time-consuming due to sample pretreatment. The sample is usually pretreated to remove lipids, proteins, hemocytes and other sugars that interfere with glucose detection. A surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) active substrate based on hydrogel microspheres has been developed to detect glucose in biological samples. Due to the specific catalytic action of glucose oxidase (GOX), the high selectivity of detection is guaranteed. The hydrogel substrate prepared by microfluidic droplets technology protects the silver nanoparticles from the surrounding environment and improves the stability and reproducibility of the assay. In addition, the hydrogel microspheres have size-adjustable pores that selectively allow small molecules to pass through. The pores block the entry of large molecules, such as impurities, enabling glucose detection through glucose oxidase etching without sample pretreatment. This hydrogel microsphere-SERS platform is highly sensitive and enables reproducible detection of different glucose concentrations in biological samples. The use of SERS to detect glucose provides clinicians with new diagnostic methods for diabetes and a new application opportunity for SERS-based molecular detection techniques.

There has been great interest in the enzymatic cascade amplification strategy for the electrochemical detection of circulating tumor cells (CTCs). In this work, we designed a highly efficient enzymatic cascade reaction based on a multiwalled carbon nanotubes–chitosan (MWCNTs–CS) composite for detection of CTCs. A high electrochemical effective surface area was obtained for a MWCNTs–CS-modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) for loading glucose oxidase (GOD), as well as a high loading rate and high electrical activity of the enzyme. As a ‘power source’, the MWCNTs–CS composites provided a strong driving power for horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on the surface of polystyrene (PS) microspheres, which acted as probes for capturing CTCs and allowed the reaction to proceed with further facilitation of electron transfer. Aptamer, CTCs, and PS microspheres with HRP and anti-epithelial cell adhesion molecule (anti-EpCAM) antibody were assembled on the MWCNTs–CS/GCE to allow for the modulation of enzyme distance at the micrometer level, and thus ultra-long-range signal transmission was made possible. An ultrasensitive response to CTCs was obtained via this proposed sensing strategy, with a linear range from 10 cell mL−1 to 6 × 106 cell mL−1 and a detection limit of 3 cell mL−1. Moreover, this electrochemical sensor possessed the capability to detect CTCs in serum samples with satisfactory accuracy, which indicated great potential for early diagnosis and clinical analysis of cancer.

Since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic epidemic, the excessive usage of chlorinated disinfectants raised the substantial risks of disinfection by-products (DBPs) exposure. While several technologies may remove the typical carcinogenic DBPs, trichloroacetic acid (TCAA), their application for continuous treatment is limited due to their complexity and expensive or hazardous inputs. In this study, degradation and dechlorination of TCAA induced by an in situ 222 nm KrCl* excimer radiation as well as role of oxygen in the reaction pathway were investigated. Quantum chemical calculation methods were used to help predict the reaction mechanism. Experimental results showed that UV irradiance increased with increasing input power and decreased when the input power exceeded 60 W. Decomposition and dechlorination were simultaneously achieved, where around 78% of TCAA (0.62 mM) can be eliminated and 78% dechlorination within 200 min. Dissolved oxygen showed little effect on the TCAA degradation but greatly boosted the dechlorination as it can additionally generate hydroxyl radical (•OH) in the reaction process. Computational results showed that under 222 nm irradiation, TCAA was excited from S 0 to S 1 state and then decayed by internal crossing process to T 1 state, and a reaction without potential energy barrier followed, resulting in the breaking of C–Cl bond and finally returning to S 0 state. Subsequent C–Cl bond cleavage occurred by a barrierless •OH insertion and HCl elimination (27.9 kcal/mol). Finally, the •OH attacked (14.6 kcal/mol) the intermediate byproducts, leading to complete dechlorination and decomposition. The KrCl* excimer radiation has obvious advantages in terms of energy efficiency compared to other competitive methods. These results provide insight into the mechanisms of TCAA dechlorination and decomposition under KrCl* excimer radiation, as well as important information for guiding research toward direct and indirect photolysis of halogenated DBPs.

In this study, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) charged probes and an inverted superhydrophobic platform were used to develop a detection method for agricultural chemicals residues (ACRs) in rice combined with lightweight deep learning network. First, positively and negatively charged probes were prepared to adsorb ACRs molecules to SERS substrate. An inverted superhydrophobic platform was prepared to alleviate the coffee ring effect and induce tight self-assembly of nanoparticles for high sensitivity. Chlormequat chloride of 15.5–0.05 mg/L and acephate of 100.2–0.2 mg/L in rice were measured with the relative standard deviation of 4.15% and 6.25%. SqueezeNet were used to develop regression models for the analysis of chlormequat chloride and acephate. And the excellent performances were obtained with the coefficients of determination of prediction of 0.9836 and 0.9826 and root-mean-square errors of prediction of 0.49 and 4.08. Therefore, the proposed method can realize sensitive and accurate detection of ACRs in rice.

Tumor targeting drug delivery is of significant importance for the treatment of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) considering the presence of appreciable amount of tumor matrix and the absence of effective targets on the tumor cells. Hence in this study, a new therapeutic multifunctional nanoplatform with improved TNBC targeting ability and efficacy was constructed and used for therapy of TNBC. Specifically, curcumin loaded mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA/Cur) nanoparticles were synthesized. Thereafter, manganese dioxide (MnO 2 ) and a hybrid of cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) membranes as well as cancer cell membranes were sequentially coated on the surface of mPDA/Cur to obtain mPDA/ [email protected] /CM. It was found that two distinct kinds of cell membranes were able to endow the nano platform with homologous targeting ability, thereby achieving accurate delivery of drugs. Nanoparticles gathered in the tumor matrix can loosen the tumor matrix via the photothermal effect mediated by mPDA to rupture the physical barrier of tumor, which is conducive to the penetration and targeting of drugs to tumor cells in the deep tissues. Moreover, the existence of curcumin, MnO 2 and mPDA was able to promote the apoptosis of cancer cells by promoting increased cytotoxicity, enhanced Fenton-like reaction, and thermal damage, respectively. Overall, both in vitro and in vivo results showed that the designed biomimetic nanoplatform could significantly inhibit the tumor growth and thus provide an efficient novel therapeutic strategy for TNBC.

In this study, ferrous composites (Fe x O 4 ) were prepared by microreactor to activate peroxydisulfate (PDS) for the degradation of bisphenol A (BPA) with visible (Vis) light irradiation. X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to characterize the morphology and crystal phase of Fe X O 4 . Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy combined with amperometric tests were used to determine the role of PDS on the performance of photocatalytic reaction. The main reactive species and intermediates for BPA removal were determined by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) measurement and quenching experiments. The result indicated that singlet state oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) contributed more to the BPA degradation than that of other reactive radicals (·OH, SO 4 ·− and ·O 2 − ); these reactive radicals and 1 O 2 formed by the reaction between photo-generated electrons (e − ) and holes (h + ) of Fe x O 4 and PDS. During this process, the consumption of e − and h + also improved their separation efficiency and thus enhanced the degradation of BPA. In addition, the photocatalytic activity of Fe x O 4 in Vis/Fe x O 4 /PDS system was 3.2-fold and 6.6-fold higher than that of single Fe x O 4 and PDS under Vis light, respectively. The Fe 2+ /Fe 3+ cycle could effectively drive the photocatalytic activation of PDS through indirect electron transfer and the formation of reactive radicals. This work illustrated that the degradation of BPA was rapidly in Vis/Fe x O 4 /PDS system mainly through 1 O 2 , which further improve our understanding on the efficient removal of organic contaminants in the environment.

It is well known that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients are always trapped in the vicious circle of inflammation and oxidative stress , therefore anti-inflammatory and antioxidant bifunctional agents may interrupt this vicious cycle in COPD. Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors, as anti-inflammatory drugs, have been used for COPD treatment in clinical, and the PDE4 inhibitors with antioxidant properties may be a good strategy to design bifunctional agents for COPD. Sappanone A was the first PDE4 inhibitor with antioxidant properties we identified from natural products in our previous study, which was used by us as a hit compound to design new bifunctional agents for COPD in this study. 27 derivatives of sappanone A including homoisoflavonoids , aurones and chalcones were designed and synthesized by innovatively fusing the antioxidant pharmacophore of catechol from polyphenols and the pharmacophore of catechol ether abstracted from the PDE4 inhibitors of the catechol ether class such as rolipram , roflumilast and apremilast respectively. All the compounds were assayed for the PDE4 inhibitory and radical scavenging against 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) activities in vitro. Herein we obtained a series of bifunctional compounds with better PDE4 inhibitory activity than sappanone A, and their free radical scavenging activities were superior to edaravone in vitro. In addition, they can reduce tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) production induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in RAW264.7 macrophages and malondialdehyde (MDA) production induced by Fe 2+ in mouse lung homogenate . Meanwhile, it showed outstanding abilities in reducing Fe 3+ and complexing Fe 2+ . 6o , as the candidate anti-inflammatory and antioxidant bifunctional compound, exhibited good drug-likeness, ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion) properties and human liver microsomal stability. In vivo, 6o (50 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg, i. p.) distinctly prevented LPS-induced serum levels of TNF-α in mice. In conclusion, the preliminary investigation provided a novel class of PDE4 inhibitors with antioxidant properties as bifunctional agents for the potential treatment of COPD, which can interrupt the vicious cycle of chronic inflammation and oxidative stress in COPD.

Sensitive and effective detection of xanthine oxidase (XOD) is essential for assessing human health. Herein, a dual-enzyme-based cascaded reaction system was developed for xanthine and xanthine oxidase assay based on the peroxidase (POD)-like catalytic activity of Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs/Hemin nanocomposite. The XOD could catalyze xanthine to produce H 2 O 2 , which is subsequently converted by Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs/Hemin into hydroxyl radicals (·OH) to oxidize 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to produce a light blue. Notably, it is demonstrated that the modification of MWCNTs and Hemin could significantly enhance the POD-like activity from 9.78 × 10 −8 M s −1 ( V max value of Fe 3 O 4 ) to 23.34 10 −8 M s −1 ( V max value of Fe 3 O 4 @MWCNTs/Hemin), which makes the detection of xanthine oxidase more sensitive. By using the smartphone to capture the colorimetric signal of oxidized TMB (oxTMB), the assay can detect xanthine and XOD as low as 0.250 µM and 0.216 mU mL −1 , respectively. The reliability of the method in human serum suggested satisfactory spiked recoveries in the range of 92.350–105%. This work provided a new insight for Fe 3 O 4 -based nanozyme design and monitoring XOD level in blood. Graphical Abstract

In this paper, a novel composite is constructed as a non-enzymatic hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) sensor by liquid-phase exfoliation method, which is composed of copper oxide, cuprous oxide and silver nanoparticles doped few-layer-graphene (Cu x O/Ag@FLG). Its surface morphology and composition were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photo spectroscopy (XPS), and its H 2 O 2 sensing performances include catalytic reduction and quantitative detection were studied with electrochemical methods. Our sensor had a high sensitivity of 174.5 μA mM −1 cm −2 (R 2 = 0.9978) in an extremely wide range of concentrations from 10 μM to 100 mM, a fast response (about 5 s) and a low limit of detection (S/N = 3) of 2.13 μM. The sensor exhibits outstanding selectivity in the presence of various biological interference, such as dopamine, ascorbic acid, uric acid, citric acid, etc. In addition, the constructed sensor continued 95% current responsiveness after 1 month of storage further points to its long-term stability. Last but not least, it has a good recovery rate (90.12–102.00%) in milk sold on the open market, indicating that it has broad application possibilities in the food industry and biological medicine.

Hyperglycemic microenvironment in diabetes mellitus inevitably stalls the normal orchestrated course of bone regeneration and encourages pathogenic multiplication. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) and chemo-dynamic therapy (CDT) are extensively harnessed to combat pathogens, yet deep-seated diabetic bone defect has difficulty in supplying sufficient oxygen (O 2 ) and hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) stocks, resulting in inferior therapeutic efficiency. To address the tough plaguing, the self-tandem bio-heterojunctions (bio-HJs) consisting of molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), graphene oxide (GO), and glucose oxidase (GOx) are constructed on orthopedic polyetheretherketone (PEEK) implants (SP-Mo/G@GOx) for amplified chemo-photodynamic anti-pathogenic therapy and boosted osseointegration in the deep-seated diabetic micromilieu. In this system, GOx exhausts glucose to generate H 2 O 2 , which provides an abundant stock for CDT. Besides, the bio-HJs produce hyperthermia upon near-infrared light (NIR) to accelerate the dynamic process, which amplifies the antibacterial potency of PDT by promoting the vast yield of singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) in a self-tandem manner. More importantly, in vivo and in vitro assays demonstrate that the engineered implants exert a captivated bactericidal ability and significantly boost osseointegration in an infectious diabetic bone defect model. As envisaged, this study furnishes a novel tactic to arm orthopedic implants with self-tandem capability for the remedy of infectious diabetic bone defects.

Carbon-based nanoprobes, with excellent physicochemical performance and biocompatibility, are a kind of ideal nanomaterial for biosensing. Herein, we designed and prepared novel oxygen-doped nitrogen-enrichment carbon nanoribbons (ONCNs) with an excellent optical performance and uniform morphology, which could be used as a dual-mode fluorescence probe for the detection of Ag+ion and captopril (Ctl) based on the synergism of photo-induced electron transfer and aggregation-induced quenching mechanisms. By recording the changes in fluorescent intensities of ONCNs, the Ag+ion and Ctl concentrations can be easily tested in real samples. The results displayed that two good linear relationships existed between the change in fluorescent intensity of ONCNs and the concentrations of Ag+ion and Ctl in the ranges of 3 μM to 30 μM and 1 μM to 30 μM, with the detection limit of 0.78 µM and 74 nM, respectively. The proposed sensing platform has also been successfully applied for the Ctl analysis in commercial tablet samples based on its high selectivity, proving its value in practical applications.Keywords:carbon-based nanoprobe;photo-induced electron transfer;aggregation-induced quenching;metal ion detection;drug analysis
