Hydrocolloids synthesized by gallic acid (GA) and ferulic acid (FA) grafting onto chitosan (CS) were characterized, and their effects on PhIP formation in pan-fried golden pompano were investigated. Spectrograms including nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and ultraviolet-visible confirmed that GA and FA were successfully grafted onto CS via covalent bonds, with grafting degree of 97.06 ± 2.56 mg GA/g and 93.56 ± 2.76 mg FA/g, respectively. The CS-g-GA and CS-g-FA exerted better solubility and antioxidant activities than CS. For the 8-min pan-fried golden pompano fillets, CS-g-GA and CS-g-FA (0.5%, m/v) significantly reduced the PhIP formation by 61.71% and 81.64%, respectively. Chemical models revealed that CS-g-GA and CS-g-FA inhibited PhIP formation mainly by decreasing the phenylacetaldehyde contents from Maillard reaction and competing with creatinine to react with phenylacetaldehyde. Therefore, it was suggested that CS-g-phenolic acids emerge as novel coating for aquatic products during processing and inhibit heterocyclic amines generation.

Blending modification is used to improve the hemocompatibility of cellulose acetate (CA) dialysis membranes while endowing the CA membrane with endotoxin scavenging and antibacterial capabilities. First, polydopamine (PDA) and polyethylenimine (PEI) are used as negatively charged and positively charged moieties, respectively, together with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to construct mixed charge CNCs (PEI-PDA@CNCs). Then PEI-PDA@CNCs is blended with the CA casting solution, and the modified CA dialysis membrane is prepared through a phase inversion process. Through biocompatibility, adsorption, antibacterial, and filtration experiments, various properties of PEI-PDA@CNCs modified CA membrane (PDCA) are systematically tested. The results show that the PDCA membrane exhibited good blood compatibility and noncytotoxicity. At the same time, the PDCA membrane has antibacterial properties and excellent endotoxin adsorption capacity. Compared with the CA membrane, the clearance rates of PDCA membrane for Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli reach 54.0% ± 1.5% and 52.9% ± 5.9% respectively. In the dynamic adsorption experiment, the adsorption capacity of PDCA membrane for endotoxin increases to 2322.1 ± 45.9 EU/g. The research results indicate that PEI-PDA@CNC-modified multifunctional CA membrane with endotoxin adsorption and antibacterial properties has potential application prospects in the fields of hemodialysis and blood purification.

Enzyme-mediating biotransformations commonly occur in micro- and nanospace, which is crucial to maintain the essential biochemical processes and physiological functions in living systems. Probing enzyme-catalytic reactions in a biomimetic fashion remains challenging due to the lack of competent tools and methodology. Here, we show that studying enzymatic reaction kinetics can be readily achieved by a well-designed solid-state nanopore. Using tyrosine as a classical substrate, we quantitatively characterize the catalytic activity of tyrosinase (TYR) and tyrosine decarboxylase (TDC) in a nanoconfined space. Tyrosine was first immobilized in the nanopipette, wherein the active sites of tyrosine were left unoccupied. When successively exposed to TYR and TDC, a two-step cascade reaction can spontaneously take place. In this process, the surface wettability and charge of the nanopipette stemming from the catalytic products can sensitively regulate ion transport and ionic current rectification behavior, which were monitored by ionic current signal. In this biomimetic scenario, we obtained the enzymatic reaction kinetics of monophenyl oxidase that were not previously actualized in the conventional macroenvironment. Significantly, TYR showed higher enzyme activity, with a Km value of 1.59 mM, which was lower than that measured in a free and open space (with a Km of 3.01 mM). This suggests that tyrosine should be the most appropriate substrate of TYR, thus improving our understanding of tyrosine-associated biochemical reactions. This work offers an applicable technical platform to mimic enzyme-mediated biotransformations and biometabolisms.

Adsorbents with high adsorption efficiency and excellent biosafety for biomedical applications are highly required. MXene is a promising candidate owning these advantages, yet pristine MXene faces dilemmas including insufficient utility of surface site as well as limited processibility. Here, we develop MXene-encapsulated porous microcapsules via microfluidics. The microcapsules have a biomass hydrogel shell that provides robust support for MXene in the core, by which the microcapsules are endowed with high MXene dosage and remarkable biosafety. Additionally, the MXene nanoflakes assemble into a three-dimensional network via metal ion-induced gelation, thereby avoiding restacking and significantly improving surface utilization. Moreover, a freeze-pretreatment of the microcapsules during preparation results in the formation of a macroporous structure in the shell, which can facilitate the diffusion of the target molecules. These features, combined with additional magneto-responsiveness rendered by the incorporation of magnetic nanoparticles, contribute to prominent performances of the microcapsules in cleaning uremia toxins including creatinine, urea, and uric acid. Thus, it is anticipated that the MXene-encapsulated microcapsules will be promising adsorbents in dialysis-related applications, and the combination of microfluidic encapsulation with metal ion gelation will provide a novel approach for construction of hybrid MXene materials with desired functions.

The detection of tyrosinase, a biomarker for melanoma, is of great significance. Herein, a fluorescent tyrosinase probe, with resorufin as the fluorophore and m-tolylboronic acid pinacol ester as the receptor, is proposed. The response relies on the tyrosinase-catalyzed hydroxylation of phenylboronic acid pinacol ester at an adjacent position followed by 1,6-rearrangement elimination to release resorufin. This probe well quantifies tyrosinase in the range from 1 to 100 U mL–1 with a detection limit of 0.5 U mL–1. Importantly, the probe exhibits high selectivity for tyrosinase over other biological substances including reactive oxygen species. In addition, it is successfully applied to the imaging of tyrosinase in cells. This probe provides a novel platform for selective detection of tyrosinase in biosystems.

This study examined how varying roasting times influenced the formation of free and bound heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) in beef during the roasting process. The findings showed that as the roasting time increased, the water content and color decreased ( P < 0.05), whereas glucose, creatine, and creatinine levels increased ( P < 0.05) from 0.05 to 2.45, 2.68–4.96, and 0.07–0.91 mg/g, respectively. A total of 7 free HAAs (IQx, MeIQx, MeIQ, PhIP, 4,8-DiMeIQx, Harman, and Norharman) and 5 bound HAAs (MeIQx, AαC, 7,8-DiMeIQx, Harman, and Norharman) were detected in the roasted beef by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The bound HAA content in the roasted beef was significantly higher than that of the free HAAs. As the roasting time increased, the bound HAAs increased from 2125.08 to 2326.45 ng/g, while the free HAAs increased from 45.72 to 121.38 ng/g ( P < 0.05). Correlation analysis revealed that the development of free and bound HAAs was positively associated with glucose, creatine, and creatinine, and the FAAs were positively correlated with the formation of MeIQx through partial least squares regression (PLSR) analysis. These findings would help minimize the development of free and bound HAAs in roasted meat products.

Flos Sophorae Immaturus extract (FSIE) is rich in flavonoids and phenolics. The effects of various concentrations (0.2, 0.4, and 0.6 g/100 g of meat) of FSIE on the quality and heterocyclic amine (HCA) formation of chicken patties fried at 170 °C and 190 °C were investigated for the first time. The total HCA content of chicken patties fried at 190 °C (7.23–13.73 ng/g) was remarkably higher than that of patties fried at 170 °C (2.34–2.57 ng/g). It is noteworthy that most HCAs formed on the surface of the patties. FSIE at 0.2–0.6 g/100 g significantly reduced the formation of HCAs in chicken patties fried at 190 °C by 27.09%–47.34%, which may be related to the enhanced total phenolics, total flavonoids, and antioxidant activities of FSIE after heating. With the addition of FSIE, the L ∗ and a ∗ values of meat patties decreased and b ∗ values increased. However, the addition of FSIE to chicken did not negatively affect the sensory attributes of fried chicken patties. Also, FSIE somewhat reduced the TBARS and carbonyl values of fried chicken patties. Correlation analysis revealed that the protein carbonyl value of meat patties was significantly and positively correlated with the total HCA formation (r = 0.90, p < 0.01). These results provide evidence that the addition of FSIE to high-temperature fried products, especially on the product surface or in the frying medium, can effectively reduce the formation of hazardous HCAs.

Wearable sensors are essential for continuous monitoring of an individual’s health status to enable personalized health management. Urine as a typical non-invasive biological fluid is rich in biological information. Although diaper-based biosensors have been developed, the development of wearable sensors for multiple biomarkers in urine remains a major challenge to be explored. In this paper, a hydrogel SERS sensor consisting of two metal nanostructures of silver nanowires (Ag NWs) and silver nanocubes (Ag NCs) was developed and adhered to nappies to form a wearable nappy-based SERS sensor for the rapid and sensitive detection of bio markers (creatinine, uric acid and bilirubin) and pH in urine. The hydrogel’s excellent adsorption and water-locking properties greatly simplify the collection of urine samples. At the same time, its encapsulation effect can effectively maintain the freshness of the urine sample and ensure the accuracy of the test. The introduction of silver nano dual-structure improves the antimicrobial properties of the hydrogel and reduces the risk of infection when the sensor comes into contact with the skin. Moreover, the silver nano dual-structure triggers abundant electromagnetic “hot spots” around intersecting nanojunctions and gaps, which greatly improves SERS sensitivity. For the detection of creatinine, uric acid and bilirubin, the LODs were as low as 0.59 μM, 69 nM, 89 nM. Finally, the urine pH was accurately detected using a functionalized Ag NWs-Ag NCs/CCNF/Gel/PVA hydrogel. This wearable diaper sensor is expected to be used for personal health condition monitoring and holds great promise for effective care of infants, the elderly, and those with limited mobility.

Apolipoprotein A1 (Apo-A1) is a well-recognized biomarker in tissues, closely associated with cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, and heart failure. However, existing methods for Apo-A1 determination are limited by costly equipment and intricate operational procedures. Given the distinct advantages of electrochemical immunosensors, including affordability and high sensitivity, along with the unique attributes of nanobodies (Nbs), such as enhanced specificity and better tissue permeability, we developed an electrochemical immunosensor for Apo-A1 detection utilizing Nb technology. In our study, Ce-MOF@AuNPs nanocomposites were synthesized by using ultrasonic methods and applied to modify a glassy carbon electrode. The Nb6, screened from an Apo-A1 immunized phage library, was immobilized onto the nanocomposite material, establishing a robust binding interaction with Apo-A1. The recorded peak current values demonstrated a logarithmic increase corresponding to Apo-A1 concentrations ranging from 1 to 100,000 pg/mL, with a detection limit of 36 fg/mL. Additionally, the developed immunosensors demonstrated high selectivity, good stability, and reproducibility. Our methodology was also effectively utilized for serum sample analysis, showing good performance in clinical assessments. This electrochemical immunosensor represents a promising tool for Apo-A1 detection, with significant potential for advancing cardiovascular disease diagnostics.

The severe respiratory dysfunctions associated with acute lung injury (ALI) and its sequelae have a high morbidity and mortality rate, are multifactorial, and lack a viable treatment. Considering the critical function that amino acids and derivatives play in the genesis of illnesses and the regulation of metabolic processes, monitoring the levels of metabolites associated with amino acids in biological matrices is necessary and interesting to study their pathological mechanisms. Exploring the dynamics of amino acid and derivatives levels and searching for biomarkers provides improved clinical ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of ALI. Therefore, we developed an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method that can simultaneously determine the amino acid and derivatives metabolic levels to study amino acid profiles in different biological samples to facilitate clinical research of ALI. In this study, 48 amino acids and derivatives, including neurotransmitters, polyamines, purines, and other types, were quantified simultaneously in a fast, high-throughput, sensitive, and reliable manner within a 15-minute run time without derivatization. No relevant studies have been reported to quantify these 48 amino acid metabolites in three biological samples simultaneously. Satisfactory linearity (R > 0.995), inter-day and intra-day accuracy (85.17–112.67% and 85.29–111.60%, respectively), inter-day and intra-day precision (RSD < 13.80% and RSD < 12.01%, respectively), matrix effects (81.00%–118.00%), recovery (85.09%–114.65%) and stability (RSD < 14.72%) were all demonstrated by the optimized method's successful validation for all analytes. In addition, the suggested method was effectively implemented in plasma, urine, and lung tissue from normal mice and mice with ALI, with the aim of finding potential biomarkers associated with ALI. Potential biomarkers were screened through multivariate statistical analysis and volcanic map analysis, and the changes of markers in ALI were again identified through heat map analysis and correlation analysis with biochemical indicators, which provided ideas and references for subsequent mechanism studies. Here, the technique created in this work offers a quick and dependable way to perform an integrated analysis of amino acids in a variety of biological materials, which can provide research ideas for understanding the physiopathological state of various diseases.

In this paper, cellulose acetate (CA) and cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) modified polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes were prepared by solution blending and non-solvent induced phase separation methods to improve the hydrophilicity and diafiltration capacity of the membranes. The changes in membrane performance before and after modification were systematically studied through simulated dialysis experiments, antifouling performance tests and biocompatibility analysis. The results show that CA blending and CNC doping will change the morphology and structure of the PVDF membrane, improve its hydrophilicity and permeability, and make it show better filtration capacity and antifouling performance. The modified PVDF membrane has higher clearance and diafiltration efficiency for small molecular solutes urea and creatinine, especially for the middle molecular solute lysozyme, while retaining most of the protein molecules, with a flux recovery rate of more than 95%. The modified PVDF membrane also has good biocompatibility. Bio-based CA and CNCs play an important role in improving the antifouling and diafiltration capacity of PVDF membranes.

Electrochemical glucose sensor holds significant promise for the monitoring of blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. In this study, we proposed a novel electrochemical glucose sensor based on 1,10-Phenanthroline-5,6-dione (PD)/Ru(III) as a dual redox mediator. The synergistic effect of PD and Ru(III) was utilized to efficiently facilitate the electron transfer between the enzyme-active center and the electrode. Then, a commercial disposable electrochemical glucose sensor was constructed based on screen-printing electrodes. Experimental results indicated the synergy between PD and Ru(III) provided a promising electron transfer environment for a glucose dehydrogenase (GDH)-catalyzed glucose reaction. The sensor exhibits a linear glucose response range from 0.01 to 38.6 µmol/L, with a limit of detection (LOD) as low as 7.0 µmol/L and a sensitivity of 38 µA·L/(mmol·cm2). The accuracy of the sensor was further validated in spiked recovery tests of human venous blood samples. The glucose recovery rate was between 99.5% and 107%, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of less than 3.2%. These results demonstrate that our sensor has high potential for commercialization and practical application in glucose monitoring.
