Creatinine-functionalized AuNPs (CreAuNPs) were prepared via a facile one-pot reaction of sodium borohydride and the mixture solution of gold(III) chloride trihydrate and creatinine. The morphology and surface state of as-prepared CreAuNPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. All the results demonstrated that CreAuNPs were spherical with an average diameter of about 4.2 nm, and creatinine existed on the surface of AuNPs via Au-N interaction. The as-prepared CreAuNPs exhibited a weak surface plasmon resonance (SPR) absorption owing to their small size, while the addition of Ag + could induce the aggregation of spherical CreAuNPs, producing a strong SPR absorption and apparent color change from colorless to purple owing to the surface plasmon coupling. On this basis, a colorimetric assay for Ag + was established. The assay could selectively detect Ag + as low as 1 μM with a good linearity in the range of 5–40 μM. Additionally, the assay was successfully applied to the determination of Ag + in tap water, lake water, and river water samples.

We demonstrate a selective and sensitive method for determination of creatinine using citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) as a colorimetric probe. It is based on a direct cross-linking reaction that occurs between creatinine and AuNPs that causes aggregation of AuNPs and results in a color change from wine red to blue. The absorption peak is shifted from 520 to 670 nm. Under the optimized conditions, the shift in the absorption peak is related the logarithm of the creatinine concentration in the 0.1 to 20 mM range, and the instrumental detection limit (LOD) is 80 μM. This LOD is about one order of magnitude better than that that of the Jaffé method (720 μM). The assay displays good selectivity over interfering substances including various inorganic ions, organic small compounds, proteins, and biothiols. It was successfully employed to the determination of creatinine in spiked human urine.

Sarcosine, a potential biomarker of prostate cancer, has drawn great attention in recent years. However, controversial research keeps arising about its role as a biomarker that might come from the two isomers (α-alanine and β-alanine) of sarcosine due to their same molecular weight and similar properties, which could interfere with the accurate detection of sarcosine. In this study, a simple and sensitive method was developed for the detection of sarcosine and the two isomers by LC with ion-trap MS through a novel derivatization reagent N , N ′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. N , N ′-Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide is usually considered as a condensation reagent, however, it was directly used as a derivatization reagent through a rearrangement side reaction in this study. The proposed method not only improved the chromatographic retention behavior of sarcosine and its two isomers, which was a benefit to their separation, but also dramatically enhanced the detection sensitivity of sarcosine, which was more favorable for real sample analysis. The factors affecting the productivity of the derivatization reaction, such as reaction time and amount of derivatization reagent, were systematically optimized. The method shows good linearity ( R 2 > 0.99), sensitivity with LODs of sarcosine as low as 1 ng/mL, and repeatability with the RSD < 6.07%. The developed method was applied to the analysis of urine.

A highly sensitive and selective near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent probe, (E)-2-(2-(6-((2-carboxy-8-oxo-7-(2-phenylacetamido)-5-thia-1-azabicyclo[4.2.0]oct-2-en-3-yl)methoxy)-2,3-dihydro-1H-xanthen-4-yl)vinyl)-3,3-dimethyl-1-propyl-3H-indol-1-ium (1), is developed for the determination of β-lactamase. The probe is designed and synthesized by incorporating the specific substrate (cephalosporin) of β-lactamase into a stable hemicyanine skeleton. The fluorescence of 1 itself is very weak due to the alkylation of the hydroxyl group of the hemicyanine fluorophore; however, β-lactamase can selectively react with its substrate (β-lactam ring) in the probe, thereby causing a spontaneous fragmentation. This action leads to the release of the fluorophore and a large fluorescence enhancement at 707 nm (λex = 680 nm). Under the optimized conditions, the fluorescence response of probe 1 is directly proportional to the concentration of β-lactamase in the range of 0.05–2 nM, with a detection limit of 0.02 nM. The validity of the probe has been confirmed by determining β-lactamase in human urine samples in comparison with that determined by iodimetry. Moreover, by taking advantage of its high sensitivity and NIR emission feature, the probe has also been utilized to image β-lactamase in three types of Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant S. aureus ATCC BAA44, penicillin-resistant strain ATCC 11632, and penicillin-susceptible strain ATCC 29213, which clearly reveals the significantly different expression levels of β-lactamase in these S. aureus.

Dendrite-like cobalt selenide nanostructures were synthesized from cobalt and selenium powder precursors by a solvothermal method in anhydrous ethylenediamine. The as-prepared nanocrystalline cobalt selenide was found to possess peroxidase-like activity that could catalyze the reaction of peroxidase substrates in the presence of H2O2. A spectrophotometric method for uric acid (UA) determination was developed based on the nanocrystalline cobalt selenide-catalyzed coupling reaction between N-ethyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-methylaniline sodium salt and 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) in the presence of H2O2. Under optimum conditions, the absorbance was proportional to the concentration of UA over the range of 2.0–40 μM with a detection limit of 0.5 μM. The applicability of the proposed method has been validated by determination of UA in human serum samples with satisfactory results.

We report a simple, facile, selective, and highly sensitive colorimetric sensor for nitroguanidine explosive. The colorimetric sensor utilizes the aggregation of creatinine-modified gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which was caused by nitroguanidine via hydrogen bond interaction between nitroguanidine and creatinine, leading to a color change from red to blue to colorless dependent on the concentration of nitroguanidine. Under optimum sensing concentrations, the absorbance changes of AuNPs at 519 nm were linear with the concentration of nitroguanidine in the range of 15–55 μM with a correlation coefficient of 0.997. The limit of detection of the colorimetric sensor was 1 μM based on the signal-to-noise of three, which has improved by as much as five orders of magnitude as compared with the traditional volumetric method and up to three orders of magnitude as compared with fluorescence approach as well. Moreover, as low as 15 μM of nitroguanidine can be visually detected by the naked eye without instrumentation. The colorimetric sensor also displayed remarkable selectivity to nitroguanidine against other explosives and common inorganic salts. It was robust and can be employed for reliable sensing of spiked nitroguanidine in real water samples with good recovery and accuracy.

A surface plasmon resonance sensor whose surface has been modified with boronic acid groups was developed in order to bind and detect transferrin. 4-Mercaptophenylboronic acid (4-MPBA) was utilized to form a self-assembled monolayer on the gold surface of the sensor chip. The surface topography of the modified gold chip was characterized by atomic force microscopy. In solutions of pH 9, the glycosyl groups of transferrin (Trf) quickly and reversibly combine with 4-MPBA on the sensor chip to result in changes of the refractive index. Thus, Trf can be sensed online by monitoring the SPR signal. Under optimized conditions, the sensor has a linear response in the 10 nM to 1.3 μM Trf concentration range, and the limit of detection is 4.4 nM (equivalent to 0.34 μg·mL −1 ). The results suggest that this 4-MPBA-functionalized sensor is a viable candidate for clinical testing of Trf which is a potential marker for severe diseases such as hypertension, primary renal disease, and diabetes.

The hemocompatibility of the dialysis membrane has been considered the key factor influencing the dialysis performance for curing the kidney malfunction. In this work, the commonly used anticoagulant heparin in the clinic was directly bonded to the poly(lactic acid) (PLA) membrane to improve the hemocompatibility via the glycidyl ether reaction. A novel precopolymer P(VP-VTES-GMA) was first prepared via free radical polymerization. The surface cross-linking of the precopolymer containing GMA segments enabled the membrane to anchor heparin through the glycidyl ether reaction. The chemical structure of the precopolymer was confirmed by 1H NMR. The surface chemistry was analyzed by XPS, toluidine blue staining, and solubility tests. The crystallization behavior, heat resistance, morphology, hydrophilicity, pore size, and pure water flux were investigated. The hemocompatibility was comprehensively investigated via APTT, PRT, PT, FIB, and platelet adhesion tests. The simulated dialysis performances relating to urea, creatinine, lysozyme, and BSA clearance were measured. All results demonstrated that the covalent bonding of heparin provided the PLA membrane with excellent hemcompatibility, hydrophilicity, heat resistance, and dialysis performance as well.

Different from intensively used anticoagulant heparin, hirudin as a representative of natural bio-molecular inhibitors can form specific hirudin-thrombin complex and function as a serine proteinase to efficiently prevent blood coagulation with less bleeding adverse effect, no allergic reaction and immune of non-toxic reaction. We aim to develop a novel anticoagulant polylactide (PLA) membrane via immobilizing natural hirudin through the hydrogen bonding interaction. High amount of PVP (17.4 wt%) was first immobilized on the membrane surface through the interfacial crosslinking of P(VP-VTES). The abundant carbonyl groups with high inter-association constant (K=6000) on the membrane surface dominated the hydrogen bonding interaction with the carboxyl groups of hirudin [44] . The anti-clotting activity of PLA membrane increased with the active hirudin concentration. XPS, ATR-FTIR was conducted to confirm the chemistry evolution of PLA membranes immobilized by PVP and hirudin respectively. The intermediate PVP spacer promoted the hydrophilicity and effectively inhibited the platelet adhesion. While the enhanced hemocompatibility was distinctly revealed by the blood concretion four items (APTT, PT, TT and FIB) mainly thanks to the surface immobilization of hirudin. The anti-clotting stability of PLA membrane was evaluated with varied incubation time. The complement activation was also measured in terms of C3a and C5a. The anti-clotting PLA membrane showed excellent dialysis performances in terms of cleaning urea, creatinine, lysozyme while preserving BSA respectively.

Glutathione (GSH) levels have been linked to aging and the pathogenesis of various diseases, highlighting the necessity for the development of sensitive analytical methods for GSH to facilitate disease diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we synthesized a novel core-shell material, UiO@TBTA, by in-situ growing TFPB-TAPA COF on UiO-66-NH 2 through a Schiff base reaction. The resulting composite capitalize on the advantages of both materials, demonstrating excellent stability, large specific surface area, and abundant active functional groups while preserving superior crystallinity. Notably, this strategy effectively reduces the occurrence of aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) in COFs. Due to the inner filter effect and hydrogen bonding interactions between UiO@TBTA and GSH, a specific ratiometric fluorescence detection of GSH was achieved in the range of 0.1–7 μM, with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.0685 μM. In addition, due to the sensitive color change of the sensing material from orange to black caused by GSH, a proportional colorimetric sensing strategy has also been proposed, enabling the detection of GSH within the range of 1–200 μM. What's more, two intelligent artificial neural networks models were constructed with the help of machine learning that can quickly, accurately, and sensitively determine the concentration of GSH based on fluorescence images and color photographs respectively. Our work represents the first study utilizing MOF@COF composite for the multimodal detection of GSH, thus providing a novel strategy for the multimodal detection of the target analyte. Prospectively, the construction of the fluorescence/colorimetric dual-mode intelligent ratiometric sensing platform using deep machine learning holds great promise for real-time monitoring.
