Abstract
The certification of cosmetic products has always been a prominent concern. Here, we have developed a pH sensor and applied it in the field of cosmetic safety. Initially, we designed two probes, CH with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) effect and the near-infrared fluorophore derivative CYTYR. By encapsulating them with DSPE-PEG2000-NH2, we obtained the CHCY-lipo nano-micelles with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) response. By combining them into a sensor array called pC, we achieved sensitive detection of a wide pH range, ranging from 4.69 to 9.25. To validate the performance of the pC sensor array, we employed a multi-channel mode and applied it to differentiate commercial anti-aging creams. Through linear discriminant analysis and 3D fingerprint analysis, the pC sensor array successfully distinguished anti-aging creams from different countries, providing a rapid and accurate method for cosmetic safety identification. The results of this study demonstrate the potential of the pC sensor array for quick authentication of cosmetic products, offering significant support and application prospects in safeguarding consumer health.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen and nitrogen species are small reactive molecules derived from elements in the air─oxygen and nitrogen. They are produced in biological systems to mediate fundamental aspects of cellular signaling but must be very tightly balanced to prevent indiscriminate damage to biological molecules. Small molecule probes can transmute the specific nature of each reactive oxygen and nitrogen species into an observable luminescent signal (or even an acoustic wave) to offer sensitive and selective imaging in living cells and whole animals. This review focuses specifically on small molecule probes for superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorite, nitric oxide, and peroxynitrite that provide a luminescent or photoacoustic signal. Important background information on general photophysical phenomena, common probe designs, mechanisms, and imaging modalities will be provided, and then, probes for each analyte will be thoroughly evaluated. A discussion of the successes of the field will be presented, followed by recommendations for improvement and a future outlook of emerging trends. Our objectives are to provide an informative, useful, and thorough field guide to small molecule probes for reactive oxygen and nitrogen species as well as important context to compare the ecosystem of chemistries and molecular scaffolds that has manifested within the field.

Abstract
Fluorescent silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) were synthesized by a one-step, simple, and green method with 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and ascorbic acid (AA) as reaction agents. Subsequently, the SiNPs and AgNPs nanocomplex (SiNPs@AgNPs) was constructed as the probe for hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) detection. The fluorescence of SiNPs was quenched due to the surface plasmonic-enhanced energy transfer between SiNPs and AgNPs. Meanwhile, the color tends to be yellow due to the existence of AgNPs. As the AgNPs were etched by H2O2, the fluorescence recovers and color fadings. Based on the well-designed structure, the "off-on" fluorescence sensing and "on-off" color sensing platforms for H2O2 were fabricated. The as-synthesized materials were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Fluorescence and UV-vis absorption spectra were used to evaluate the optical performance. The fabricated sensor exhibited a linear range of 1.0-100.0 μM, with a limit of detection of 0.36 μM for the fluorescence sensing of H2O2. Additionally, a linear range of 1.0-50.0 μM and a limit of detection of 0.45 μM were displayed for the detection of H2O2 by colorimetric assay. The feasibility in complex medium of the fabricated fluorescent and colorimetric dual-signal sensor was evaluated by the detection of H2O2 in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) and lake water samples.

Abstract
Given the crucial association of hydrogen peroxide with a wide-range of human diseases, this compound has currently earned the reputation of being popular biomolecular target. Although various of analytical methods have attracted our attention, fluorescent probes have been used as prominent tools to determine H2O2 to reflect the physiological and pathological conditions of biological systems, As the sensitive responsive portion of these probes, Boronate ester and boronic acid groups are vital reporter as the sensitive responsive part for H2O2 recognition. In this review, we summarized boronate ester/boronic acid group-based fluorescent probes for H2O2 reported from 2012 to 2020 and generally classify the fluorophores into six categories to exhaustively elaborate the design strategy and comprehensive systematic performance. We hope that this review will inspire the exploration of new fluorescent probes based on boronate ester/boronic acid groups for detection of H2O2 and other relevant analytes.

Abstract
The glucose-sensitive self-adjusting drug delivery system simulates the physiological model of the human pancreas-secreting insulin and then precisely regulates the release of hypoglycemic drugs and controls the blood sugar. Thus, it has good application prospects in the treatment of diabetes. Presently, there are three glucose-sensitive drug systems: phenylboronic acid (PBA) and its derivatives, concanavalin A (Con A), and glucose oxidase (GOD). Among these, the glucose-sensitive polymer carrier based on PBA has the advantages of better stability, long-term storage, and reversible glucose response, and the loading of insulin in it can achieve the controlled release of drugs in the human environment. Therefore, it has become a research hotspot in recent years and has been developed very rapidly. In order to further carry out a follow-up study, we focused on the development process, performance, and application of PBA and its derivatives-based glucose-sensitive polymer drug carriers, and the prospects for the development of this field.
