[PMID: 38955080 DOI: 10.1016/j.jphotobiol.2024.112968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Revised: 04/30/2024] [Accepted: 06/25/2024] [Indexed: 07/04/2024]
Abstract
Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a malignant tumor with high prevalence in Southeast Asia and highly invasive and metastatic characteristics. Radiotherapy is the primary strategy for NPC treatment, however there is still lack of effect method for predicting the radioresistance that is the main reason for treatment failure. Herein, the molecular profiles of patient plasma from NPC with radiotherapy sensitivity and resistance groups as well as healthy group, respectively, were explored by label-free surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) based on surface plasmon resonance for the first time. Especially, the components with different molecular weight sizes were analyzed via the separation process, helping to avoid the possible missing of diagnostic information due to the competitive adsorption. Following that, robust machine learning algorithm based on principal component analysis and linear discriminant analysis (PCA-LDA) was employed to extract the feature of blood-SERS data and establish an effective predictive model with the accuracy of 96.7% for identifying the radiotherapy resistance subjects from sensitivity ones, and 100% for identifying the NPC subjects from healthy ones. This work demonstrates the potential of molecular separation-assisted label-free SERS combined with machine learning for NPC screening and treatment strategy guidance in clinical scenario.

Zhou JW, Zheng XB, Liu HS, Wen BY, Kou YC, Zhang L, Song JJ, Zhang YJ, Li JF. Reliable quantitative detection of uric acid in urine by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy with endogenous internal standard. Biosens Bioelectron 2024; 251:116101. [PMID: 38324971 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2024.116101] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/01/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024]
Abstract
Abnormal levels of uric acid (UA) in urine serve as warning signs for gout and metabolic cardiovascular diseases, necessitating the monitoring of UA levels for early prevention. However, the current analytical methods employed suffer from limitations in terms of inadequate suitability for home-based applications and the requirement of non-invasive procedures. In this approach, creatinine, a metabolite with a constant excretion rate, was incorporated as an endogenous internal standard (e-IS) for calibration, presenting a rapid, pretreatment-free, and accurate strategy for quantitative determination of UA concentrations. By utilizing urine creatinine as an internal reference value to calibrate the signal fluctuation of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of UA, the quantitative accuracy can be significantly improved without the need for an external internal standard. Due to the influence of the medium, UA, which carries a negative charge, is selectively adsorbed by Au@Ag nanoparticles functionalized with hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) in this system. Furthermore, a highly convenient detection method was developed, which eliminates the need for pre-processing and minimizes matrix interference by simple dilution. The method was applied to the urine detection of different volunteers, and the results were highly consistent with those obtained using the UA colorimetric kit (UACK). The detection time of SERS was only 30 s, which is 50 times faster than UACK. This quantitative strategy of using urinary creatinine as an internal standard to correct the SERS intensity of uric acid is also expected to be extended to the quantitative detection needs of other biomarkers in urine.

Abstract
Evaluating the transformer aging state and detecting multi-aging characteristics in transformer oil with high sensitivity and fast speed has become a key challenge. This study introduces a P-N heterojunction (CNTs@NiO-α-Fe2O3) fabricated through electroless nickel plating and a one-step hydrothermal method. Additionally, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) with adjustable particle sizes are grown on the surface using a chemical reduction method. To obtain high sensitivity and rapid SERS signal, CNTs@NiO-α-Fe2O3-Ag gel is adsorbed on a disposable needle filter (220 nm) surface, and 4-aminothiophene (4-ATP) is grafted onto the surface of SERS substrate. The minimum detection limit was 0.025 mg/L (EF = 5.22 × 104), and the response time of SERS best signal could be shortened to 3 min. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that by constructing a P-N heterostructure of NiO-Fe2O3 and assessing the adsorption energies of furfural, acetone, and methanol on the surface of the P-N heterojunction. This SERS strategy has a huge application prospect in the aging diagnosis of oil-paper insulation systems in a transformer.

Abstract
One of the most hazardous diseases that influences human health globally is microbial infection. Therefore, bimetallic nanoparticles have received much attention for controlling microbial infections in the current decade. In the present study, bimetallic selenium-silver nanoparticles (Se-Ag NPs) were effectively biosynthesized using watermelon rind WR extract through the green technique for the first time. UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) methods were used to characterize the produced NPs. The results indicated that the bimetallic Se-Ag NPs had synergistic antimicrobial activity at low concentrations, which helped to reduce the toxicity of Ag NPs after the bimetallic Se-Ag NPs preparation and increase their great potential. Se-Ag NPs with sizes ranging from 18.3 nm to 49.6 nm were detected by TEM. Se-Ag NP surfaces were uniformly visible in the SEM picture. The cytotoxicity of bimetallic Se-Ag NPs was assessed against the Wi38 normal cell line to check their safety, where the IC50 was 168.42 µg/mL. The results showed that bimetallic Se-Ag NPs had antibacterial action against Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella oxytoca, Bacillus subtilis, and Staphylococcus aureus with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 12.5 to 50 µg/mL. Additionally, bimetallic Se-Ag NPs had promising anticancer activity toward the MCF7 cancerous cell line, where the IC50 was 21.6 µg/mL. In conclusion, bimetallic Se-Ag NPs were biosynthesized for the first time using WR extract, which had strong antibacterial, antifungal and anticancer properties.

Abstract
The level of uric acid is crucial to human health. Octahedral oxygen vacancy MnCo2O4/Ag (VO-MnCo2O4/Ag) nanozyme was successfully prepared by simple hydrothermal, calcination and self-reduction methods. VO-MnCo2O4/Ag nanozyme is rich in Mn2+/Mn3+ and CO2+/CO3+ redox electron pairs, large specific surface area and oxygen vacancies. VO-MnCo2O4/Ag nanozyme showed high uricase-like activity and peroxidase-like activity. At the same time, the SERS signal of the detected molecule could be significantly enhanced after the catalytic reaction of the VO-MnCo2O4/Ag nanozyme. The Km values of VO-MnCo2O4/Ag nanozyme for H2O2 and TMB were 0.04 mM and 0.027 mM respectively. Based on the uric acid oxidase-like and peroxidase-like activities of VO-MnCo2O4/Ag, we developed a label-free, sensitive, and reliable SERS uric acid detection system. The detection linear range of uric acid is 0.01 μM-1000 μM and the detection of limit is 7.8 × 10-9 M. The results show that the sensing system has good accuracy, sensitivity, selectivity, and stability. It can be applied to the determination of samples under different conditions. This study provides profound insights into the design of enzyme-like activity regulation and SERS properties regulation of nanozymes, provides guidance for the study of reaction kinetics and catalytic mechanism of nanozymes, and has broad application prospects in the field of nanozymes and SERS sensing analysis.

Abstract
Cysteine is one of the important amino acids that is involved in various physiological processes, food industries, pharmaceuticals, and personal care. It also serves as a biomarker for some diseases. The large use of cysteine necessitates rapid, cheap, and accurate determination of cysteine in a range of samples. Although many techniques have been employed for the detection of cysteine, they suffer from limitations that make them unsuitable for routine analysis. Here we report on a cheap colorimetric method using biosynthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as nanozymes. The AgNPs were characterized by UV/visible spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). The AgNPs exhibit peroxidase-like activity using o-phenylenediamine (OPD) as a chromogenic reagent. The low Km values observed for OPD and H2O2 (0.9133 and 61.56 mM respectively) show strong affinity of the substrates to AgNPs. The peroxidase-like activity of AgNPs, however, was inhibited on the addition of cysteine. The results show that the absorption intensity of the oxidized OPD decreased linearly with the concentration of cysteine in the range of 0.5-20 μM. The limit of detection (LOD) in this linear range was found to be as low as 90.4 nM. The recovery from urine sample (spiked with cysteine) analyses demonstrated the feasibility of the method in real sample application. From our findings, we anticipate that our method can be applied for the analysis of cysteine in various samples.

Abstract
A clinical diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is commonly achieved by estimating the serum levels of urea and creatinine (CR). Given the limitations of the conventional diagnostic assays, it is imperative to seek alternative, economical strategies for the detection of CKD-specific biomarkers with high specificity and selectivity. In this respect, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) can be regarded as an ideal choice. SERS signals can be greatly amplified by noble metal nanoparticles (e.g., gold nanoparticles (GNPs)) of numerous sizes, shapes, and configurations to help achieve ultra-sensitive single molecule-level detection at 10-15 M (up to 10 orders of magnitude more sensitive than fluorescence-based detection). The irregular geometry of GNPs with spike-like tips, dimers, and aggregates with small nanogaps (i.e., due to plasmon coupling such as Raman hot spots) play a pivotal role in enhancing the specificity and sensitivity of SERS. This review critically outlines the performance of SERS-based biosensors in the ultrasensitive detection of CKD biomarkers in various body fluids in terms of basic quality assurance parameters (e.g., limit of detection, figure of merit, enhancement factor, and stability of the biosensor). Moreover, the challenges and perspectives are described with respect to the expansion of such sensing techniques in practical clinical settings.

Abstract
Objective: The issue of when to start treatment in patients with hyperuricemia (HUA) without gout and chronic kidney disease (CKD) is both important and controversial. In this study, Raman spectroscopy (RS) was used to analyze urine samples, and key genes expressed differentially CKD were identified using bioinformatics. The biological functions and regulatory pathways of these key genes were preliminarily analyzed, and the relationship between them as well as the heterogeneity of the urine components of HUA was evaluated. This study provides new ideas for the rapid evaluation of renal function in patients with HUA and CKD, while providing an important reference for the new treatment strategy of HUA disease. Methods: A physically examined population in 2021 was recruited as the research subjects. There were 10 cases with normal blood uric acid level and 31 cases with asymptomatic HUA diagnosis. The general clinical data were collected and the urine samples were analyzed by Raman spectroscopy. An identification model was also established by using the multidimensional multivariate method of orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) model for statistical analysis of the data, key genes associated with CKD were identified using the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database, and key biological pathways associated with renal function damage in CKD patients with HUA were analyzed. Results: The Raman spectra showed significant differences in the levels of uric acid (640 cm-1), urea, creatinine (1,608, 1,706 cm-1), proteins/amino acids (642, 828, 1,556, 1,585, 1,587, 1,596, 1,603, 1,615 cm-1), and ketone body (1,643 cm-1) (p < 0.05). The top 10 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) associated with CKD (ALB, MYC, IL10, FOS, TOP2A, PLG, REN, FGA, CCNA2, and BUB1) were identified. Compared with the differential peak positions analyzed by the OPLS-DA model, it was found that the peak positions of glutathione, tryptophan and tyrosine may be important markers for the diagnosis and progression of CKD. Conclusion: The progression of CKD was related to the expression of the ALB, MYC, IL10, PLG, REN, and FGA genes. Patients with HUA may have abnormalities in glutathione, tryptophan, tyrosine, and energy metabolism. The application of Raman spectroscopy to analyze urine samples and interpret the heterogeneity of the internal environment of asymptomatic HUA patients can be combined with the OPLS-DA model to mine the massive clinical and biochemical examination information on HUA patients. The results can also provide a reference for identifying the right time for intervention for uric acid as well as assist the early detection of changes in the internal environment of the body. Finally, this approach provides a useful technical supplement for exploring a low-cost, rapid evaluation and improving the timeliness of screening. Precise intervention of abnormal signal levels of internal environment and energy metabolism may be a potential way to delay renal injury in patients with HUA.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a kind of popular non-destructive and water-free interference analytical technology with fast response, excellent sensitivity and specificity to trace biotargets in biological samples. Recently, many researches have focused on the preparation of various magnetic nanoparticle-based SERS substrates for developing efficient bioanalytical methods, which greatly improved the selectivity and accuracy of the proposed SERS bioassays. There has been a rapid increase in the number of reports about magnetic SERS substrates in the past decade, and the number of related papers and citations have exceeded 500 and 2000, respectively. Moreover, most of the papers published since 2009 have been dedicated to analytical applications. In the paper, the recent advances in magnetic nanoparticle-based SERS substrates for bioanalysis were reviewed in detail based on their various morphologies, such as magnetic core-shell nanoparticles, magnetic core-satellite nanoparticles and non-spherical magnetic nanoparticles and their different functions, such as separation and enrichment, recognition and SERS tags. Moreover, the typical application progress on magnetic nanoparticle-based SERS substrates for bioanalysis of amino acids and protein, DNA and RNA sequences, cancer cells and related tumor biomarkers, etc., was summarized and introduced. Finally, the future trends and prospective for SERS bioanalysis by magnetic nanoparticle-based substrates were proposed based on the systematical study of typical and latest references. It is expected that this review would provide useful information and clues for the researchers with interest in SERS bioanalysis.

Abstract
An enzyme-free terahertz uric acid sensor based on a metallic slot array metamaterial was proposed and realized both theoretically and experimentally. The sensing model was verified in simulation and femtosecond laser processing technology was employed to ablate slots in the copper plate to fabricate metamaterials. Analytes were tested with liquid phase deposition on the metamaterial by a terahertz frequency domain spectroscopy system. Gradient concentrations of uric acid, ascorbic acid, and a mixture of them were measured separately with a good linear response. A significant decrease in sensitivity was observed in the ascorbic acid assay compared with the uric acid assay. The test results of the mixture also proved that our device is resistant to ascorbic acid. It is a simple and effective method for monitoring uric acid concentrations and the strategy of eliminating interference while modulating the resonance peak location mentioned here can be rationally projected for the development of other sensors.

Abstract
In this study, an aqueous extract of Sclerocarya birrea leaves was used as a reducing agent to synthesize silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The synthesis was carried out at room temperature and was both rapid and simple. Different characterization techniques such as UV/visible spectroscopy, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy were used to confirm the formation of AgNPs. The synthesized nanoparticles exhibited catalytic activity for the reduction of 4-nitrophenol, methyl orange, methylene blue, and rhodamine 6G. The catalytic activity was monitored by measuring the UV/visible absorbance spectra of the compounds using sodium borohydride as a reducing agent and found to be high. Additionally, the particles displayed oxidase-like activity. In the presence of AgNPs, 3, 3', 5, 5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) which is colorless was transformed to oxidized TMB, which is blue, using dissolved oxygen as the oxidant. In the presence of Hg2+, the oxidase-like activity was enhanced. On the basis of this observation, an assay for the analysis of Hg2+ was developed. The linear range of the calibration curve is wide (0-600 µM) and the limit of detection (LOD) is low, as small as 34.8 nM. The method is strongly selective towards Hg2+. Tap water obtained from the laboratory where these experiments were carried out was used to study the feasibility of the method in real sample analyses.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is closely related to a variety of diseases and has been listed as one of the twenty most persistent diseases in the 21st century by the United Nations. Therefore, strengthening the diagnosis of hyperuricemia has become imperative. Here, ordered inverse opal array structures (PAANs) composed of PDMS and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been designed using a bottom-up self-assembly method. The structures exhibit a periodic distribution of hot spots, an enhancement factor (EF) of 4.22 × 104, and a relative standard deviation (RSD) of signal intensity of less than 5%, which can provide high reproducibility of SERS signals. The PAANs substrate is used to detect uric acid in the tears of patients with hyperuricemia, and the limit of detection is 6.03 μM. The significant linear relationship between blood uric acid and tear uric acid indicates that the developed method is a rapid, effective, and non-invasive technique for the determination of uric acid in tears.

Abstract
Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have unique physical and chemical properties, such as high surface area to volume ratio and size-related magnetism, which are completely different from their bulk materials. Benefiting from the facile synthesis and chemical modification strategies, MNPs have been widely studied for applications in nanomedicine. Herein, we firstly summarized the designs of MNPs from the perspectives of materials and physicochemical properties tailored for biomedical applications. Magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS), first reported in 2006, has flourished as an independent platform for many biological and biomedical applications. It has been extensively reported as a versatile platform for a variety of bioassays along with the artificially designed MNPs, where the MNPs serve as magnetic nanoprobes to specifically probe target analytes from fluid samples. In this review, the mechanisms and theories of different MPS platforms realizing volumetric- and surface-based bioassays are discussed. Some representative works of MPS platforms for applications such as disease diagnosis, food safety and plant pathology monitoring, drug screening, thrombus maturity assessments are reviewed. At the end of this review, we commented on the rapid growth and booming of MPS-based bioassays in its first 15 years. We also prospected opportunities and challenges that portable MPS devices face in the rapidly growing demand for fast, inexpensive, and easy-to-use biometric techniques.

Abstract
High plasma urate is closely related to gout, cardiovascular and other diseases. Therefore, monitoring the content of uric acid (UA) in plasma is of great significance for the treatment of gout and the prevention of other related diseases. Herein, a biosensor based on the biomimetic oxidase Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) @MnO2 nanosheets (Fe3O4@MnO2 NS) was constructed for colorimetric determination of UA. MnO2 NS is an efficient biomimetic oxidase, and we found that the intrinsic oxidase activity of MnO2 NS doped with Fe3O4 NPs can be significantly enhanced. The chromogenic substrate TMB can be catalyzed by Fe3O4 @MnO2 NS to generate blue oxidized TMB, and UA can decompose the MnO2 NS to inhibit the color reaction of TMB selectively, thereby realizing the quantitative detection of UA. In addition, the UA biosensor can perform colorimetric analysis of UA level through three methods: naked eye, smartphone and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectrophotometer. The linear ranges of UV-vis spectrophotometry and colorimetry with smartphone were 1-70 μM and 200-650 μM, respectively, and the limits of detection (LOD) were 0.27 μM and 21 μM. The analysis results of human plasma samples showed that the method had good selectivity and practicability.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has become a powerful analytical technique for highly sensitive detection of target molecules. Its performance, however, is heavily dependent on the substrates. Relatively low sensitivity for small molecules and poor reproducibility in quantitative analysis are often encountered in most of nanoparticle modified SERS substrate. The present work starts by theoretical investigation of the electromagnetic field enhancement by nanomaterials of coinage metals with different sizes. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulation results revealed that the Ag NPs with the size around 100 nm exhibit the strongest SERS effect and the 'Ag-Ag' gaps have shown higher electromagnetic field enhancement than that of the 'Ag-Ti' gap. Subsequently, a multilayered Ag nanoparticles SERS substrate (or other coinage metals) was prepared by a two-step electroless deposition of Ag on Ti substrate. This was achieved by in situ reduction of Ag precursor to subsequently form a Ag nanoflake (Ag NF) layer and a Ag nanoparticle (Ag NPs) layer on the Ti base (Ti/AgNFs/AgNPs). The as-prepared SERS substrate showed a substantially enhanced SERS effect for small molecule detection and detection limit as low as 1.0 × 10-17 M for picric acid (PA), 1.0 × 10-14 M for p-nitrotoluene (PNT) and 1.0 × 10-6 M for uric acid (UA) were obtained respectively. The facile method developed in this work should be widely applicable for in-situ preparation of other SERs substrates.

Abstract
In this study, we report a novel and facile colorimetric assay based on silver citrate-coated Au@Ag nanoparticles (Au@AgNPs) as a chemosensor for the naked-eye detection of morphine (MOR). The developed optical sensing approach relied on the aggregation of Au@Ag NPs upon exposure to morphine, which led to an evident color variation from light-yellow to brown. Au@Ag NPs have been prepared by two different protocols, using high- and low-power ultrasonic irradiation. The sonochemical method was essential for the sensing properties of the resulting nanoparticles. This facile sensing method has several advantages including excellent stability, selectivity, prompt detection, and cost-effectiveness.

However, those techniques still have to overcome some challenges to be widely adopted in routine clinical diagnostics. This review summarizes and provides insights on recent advancements in research within the field of vibrational spectroscopy for medical diagnostics and its use in detection of many health conditions such as kidney injury, cancers, cardiovascular and infectious diseases. The six comprehensive tables in the review and four tables in supplementary information summarize a few dozen experimental papers in terms of such analytical parameters as limit of detection, range, diagnostic sensitivity and specificity, and other figures of merits. Critical comparison between SERS and FTIR methods of analysis reveals that on average the reported sensitivity for biomarkers in biofluids for SERS vs FTIR is about 103 to 105 times higher, since LOD SERS are lower than LOD FTIR by about this factor. High sensitivity gives SERS an edge in detection of many biomarkers present in biofluids at low concentration (nM and sub nM), which can be particularly advantageous for example in early diagnostics of cancer or viral infections.HighlightsRaman, Infrared spectroscopies use low volume of biofluidic samples, little sample preparation, fast time of analysis and relatively inexpensive instrumentation.Applications of SERS may be a bit more complicated than applications of FTIR (e.g., limited shelf life for nanoparticles and substrates, etc.), but this can be generously compensated by much higher (by several order of magnitude) sensitivity in comparison to FTIR.High sensitivity makes SERS a noninvasive analytical method of choice for detection, quantification and diagnostics of many health conditions, metabolites, and drugs, particularly in diagnostics of cancer, including diagnostics of its early stages.FTIR, particularly ATR-FTIR can be a method of choice for efficient sensing of many biomarkers, present in urine, blood and other biofluids at sufficiently high concentrations (mM and even a few µM)Brillouin scattering spectroscopy detecting visco-elastic properties of probed liquid medium, may also find application in clinical analysis of some biofluids, such as cerebrospinal fluid and urine.

Abstract
Selective detection and quantification of biomarkers related to human diseases are essential for preventive healthcare. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy is a powerful analytical tool offering high sensitivity. However, the success of this promising analytical tool relies on the ability to effectively fabricate SERS substrate. Herein we have demonstrated a plasmonic paper-based flexible substrate (PPFS) for SERS sensing. In situ growth of silver nanostructures (AgNS) on the paper-based substrate was achieved by using a simple one-step silver mirror reaction (SMR). FESEM and TEM results depicts that the increasing silver ion content influences the morphology (growth of multifacets), as well as size of AgNS. Further, the PPFS substrate was tested with Rhodamine-6G (Rh-6G) dye and an attomole sensitivity with a LOD of 4.54 x 10-18 M was achieved. Further, two biomarkers, lactic acid (LA) and uric acid (UA) were detected on the PPFS substrate, with μM and pM sensitivity, having LOD values of 0.6 x 10-6 and 0.3 x 10-12 M respectively. Above detection levels for UA on PPFS is two orders better than reported values, whereas for LA it is comparable with reported substrates. Finally, UA, LA and their mixtures were tested on PPFS and results compared with commercial substrate. The performance of PPFS were found better in all cases, thus, multifaceted AgNS paper based PPFS offers the potential to be used as a biosensor for detection of various biomarkers from body fluids, responsible for the detection of the critical disease for preventive health care.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is a very powerful tool for material analysis, allowing for exploring the properties of a wide range of different materials. Since its discovery, Raman spectroscopy has been used to investigate several features of materials such carbonaceous and inorganic properties, providing useful information on their phases, functions, and defects. Furthermore, techniques such as surface and tip enhanced Raman spectroscopy have extended the field of application of Raman analysis to biological and analytical fields. Additionally, the robustness and versatility of Raman instrumentations represent a promising solution for performing on-field analysis for a wide range of materials. Recognizing the many hot applications of Raman spectroscopy, we herein overview the main and more recent applications for the investigation of a wide range of materials, such as carbonaceous and biological materials. We also provide a brief but exhaustive theoretical background of Raman spectroscopy, also providing deep insight into the analytical achievements.

Abstract
A simple dual-read assay for uric acid (UA) was developed based on a combined ratiometric fluorescent and colorimetric strategy using nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs). The biosensor relies on the oxidation of UA by uricase to produce H2O2, which was then converted to •OH radicals by I-, resulting in the oxidation of o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP). In the presence of UA, the colorless biosensor system changed to yellow. Furthermore, the presence of DAP quenched the fluorescence emission of the N-CDs at 427 nm based on the inner filter effect (IFE). With increasing UA concentrations, the fluorescence intensity of the biosensor at 427 nm decreased but increased at 580 nm, demonstrating the ratiometric response. A strong linearity was observed between the fluorescence intensity ratio of DAP to N-CDs (I580/I427) and the corresponding UA concentration over the range 0.5-150 μM, and a limit of detection (S/N ratio of 3) of 0.06 μM was calculated. The dual-read assay was successfully employed in the quantitation of UA in human serum and urine samples, revealing its potential for measuring UA in clinical samples.

Revealing the Hemispherical Shielding Effect of SiO 2@Ag Composite Nanospheres to Improve the Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering Performance. NANOMATERIALS 2021; 11:nano11092209.

Abstract
Many studies widely used SiO2@Ag composite nanospheres for surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), which mainly contributes to electromagnetic enhancement. In addition to experiments, previous simulations mostly adopted a two-dimensional model in SERS research, resulting in the three-dimensional information being folded and masked. In this paper, we adopted the three-dimensional model to simulate the electric field distribution of SiO2@Ag composite nanospheres. It is found that when the Ag nanoparticles are distributed densely on the surface of SiO2 nanospheres, light cannot pass through the upper hemisphere due to the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of the Ag nanoparticles, resulting in the upper hemisphere shielding effect; and if there are no Ag nanoparticles distributed densely on the surface of SiO2 nanospheres, the strong LSPR cannot be formed, so the incident light will be guided downward through the whispering gallery mode of the spherical structure. At the same time, we designed relevant experiments to synthesize SiO2@Ag composite nanosphere as SERS substrate and used Rhodamine 6G as a probe molecule to study its SERS performance. This design achieved a significant SERS effect, and is very consistent with our simulation results.

A novel ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobe for sensitive determination of uric acid based on CD@ZIF-CuNC nanocomposites. Mikrochim Acta 2021; 188:259.

Abstract
A novel ratiometric fluorescence nanoprobe based on carbon dots (CDs) and Cu nanoclusters (CuNCs) was designed for the label-free determination of uric acid (UA). The metal-organic framework (MOF) encapsulated CuNCs (ZIF-CuNC), and nitrogen-doped CDs can self-assemble into well-defined spherical nanocomposites (CD@ZIF-CuNC) due to physical adsorption. Under the excitation wavelength of 360 nm, the CD@ZIF-CuNC nanocomposites exhibit two evident intrinsic emissions peaked at 460 nm (CDs) and 620 nm (ZIF-CuNC), respectively. In the presence of H2O2, the fluorescence of CD@ZIF-CuNC at 620 nm is quenched remarkably within 1 min, while little effect on the emission at 460 nm is observed. Therefore, taking the fluorescence at 620 nm as the report signal and 460 nm as the reference signal, ratiometric quantitative determination of H2O2 was achieved with a linear range of 1-100 μM and a detection limit of 0.30 μM. The CD@ZIF-CuNC nanoprobe was successfully applied to the determination of UA that is catalyzed by uricase to produce H2O2, obtaining the linear range of 1-30 μM and the detection limit of 0.33 μM. Eventually, this strategy has been successfully applied to the determination of UA in human urine samples. A novel and convenient CDs@ZIF-CuNCs-based nanoplatform was constructed for sensitive ratiometric fluorescence determination of UA.

Abstract
Composite materials are made from two or more constituent materials with distinct physical or chemical properties that, when combined, produce a material with characteristics which are at least to some degree different from its individual components. Nanocomposite materials are composed of different materials of which at least one has nanoscale dimensions. Common types of nanocomposites consist of a combination of two different elements, with a nanoparticle that is linked to, or surrounded by, another organic or inorganic material, for example in a core-shell or heterostructure configuration. A general family of nanoparticle composites concerns the coating of a nanoscale material by a polymer, SiO2 or carbon. Other materials, such as graphene or graphene oxide (GO), are used as supports forming composites when nanoscale materials are deposited onto them. In this Review we focus on magnetic nanocomposites, describing their synthetic methods, physical properties and applications. Several types of nanocomposites are presented, according to their composition, morphology or surface functionalization. Their applications are largely due to the synergistic effects that appear thanks to the co-existence of two different materials and to their interface, resulting in properties often better than those of their single-phase components. Applications discussed concern magnetically separable catalysts, water treatment, diagnostics-sensing and biomedicine.

Abstract
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has attracted much attention with its powerful trace detection and analysis capabilities, especially biological and environmental molecules. However, building a protein SERS detection platform based on semiconductor devices is a huge challenge. Herein, through the synergy of NH3 and nickel foam, a large-sized semiconductor tungsten oxide hydrate platform (WOHP) was synthesized. The crystal plane of a single WOHP particle is larger than the excitation spot. As a SERS substrate, WOHP can make full use of the excitation light without destroying the structure during the protein molecules detection process. Through the synergy of WOHP and Au NPs, the enhancement factor is 1.5 × 104. Raman peaks of WOHP can be used as references for the detection of typical protein cytochrome C (Cyt C). As the Cyt C concentration decreases, the ICyt C/IWOHP ratio decreases, and the signal can still be obtained when the concentration is as low as 5 × 10-9 mol L-1. More importantly, the method does not affect the catalytic activity of Cyt C and can be applied to the detection of Cyt C concentration in serum.

Abstract
Ferrite magnetic nanoparticles (FMNPs) are gaining popularity to design biosensors for high-performance clinical diagnosis. The fusion of information shows that FMNPs based biosensors require well-tuned FMNPs as detection probes to produce large and specific biological signals with minimal non-specific binding. Nevertheless, there is a noticeable lacuna of information to solve the issues related to suitable synthesis route, particle size reduction, functionalization, sensitivity towards targeted intercellular biological tiny particles, and lower signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore it allows exploring unique characteristics of FMNPs to design a suitable sensing device for intracellular measurements and diseases detection. This review focuses on the extensively used synthesis routes, their advantages and limitations, crystalline structure, functionalization, along with recent applications of FMNPs in biosensors, taking into consideration their analytical figures of merit and range of linearity. This work also addresses the current progress, key factors for sensitivity, selectivity and productivity improvement along with the challenges, future trends and perspectives of FMNPs based biosensors.

Abstract
Toxemia of pregnancy is a very dangerous disease for pregnant women. The mortality rate of toxemia of pregnancy is close to 10% to 15%. Early detection of pregnancy toxemia is to monitoring uric acid concentration in urine. The current mainstream method for detecting uric acid requires an enzyme (urate oxidase), which needs to be stored in a low-temperature environment, and the method requires complex chemical steps, which takes a longer time and more samples. In this study, we propose an integrated miniature three-electrode electrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy chip (EC-SERS chip) suitable for rapid EC-SERS detection applications. The integrated microfluidic reservoir on the chip makes it easy to use, which is very suitable for rapid detection applications. The SERS active working electrode for the proposed integrated EC-SERS chip is a nanocone array polycarbonate (PC) substrate decorated with an evenly distributed and tightly packed array of gold nanospheres. It showed good uniformity and can be easily reproduced. The integrated EC-SERS chip is very small compared to the traditional electrochemical cell, which reduces the sample volume required for the testing. In addition, the chip is for one-time use only. It eliminates the need to clean electrochemical cells for reuse, thereby reducing the possibility of contamination and inaccurate detection. Various low-concentration Rhodamine 6G (R6G) solutions were tested to verify the performance of the developed EC-SERS chip. Experimental results showed that the proposed EC-SERS chip has a strong enhancement factor of up to 8.5 × 106 and a very good EC-SERS uniformity (the relative standard deviation of EC-SERS intensity is as low as 1.41%). The EC-SERS chip developed has been further tested for the detection of uric acid in synthetic urine. The results showed that the EC-SERS signal intensity has a highly linear relationship with the logarithm of the uric acid concentration in synthetic urine, which indicates that the developed EC-SERS chip is suitable for the quantitative detection of uric acid in synthetic urine. Therefore, the developed EC-SERS chip is very promising to be used in routine and early diagnosis of pregnancy toxemia and may be used in many other medical tests, food safety, and biotechnology applications.

Abstract
In this study, a facile one step solvo-thermal procedure has been employed in generating magnetite-silver core-shell nanocomposites (AgNPs@ Fe3O4) with superior peroxidase-like catalytic property than bare magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4). The composites were characterized using different techniques such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and surface-enhanced infrared absorption spectroscopy (SEIRA). In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the synthesized composites were able to oxidize the colorless o-phenylenediamine (OPD) to a yellow colour 2, 3-diaminophenazine (DAP) with a better peroxidase-like activity than Fe3O4 alone. The obtained Km value of AgNPs@ Fe3O4 with H2O2 and OPD substrates are 28.0 mM and 2.91 mM respectively. These are substantially lower than previously reported values and indicate the strong binding affinity of the substrates towards AgNPs@ Fe3O4 nanocomposites. Based on the obstruction activity of cysteine on the peroxidase-like catalytic property of the nanocomposites, a sensor was developed for detection of cystein with a limit of detection as low as 87 nM and a wider range of linearity. The sensor also exhibited excellent selectivity against potentially interfering molecules.

Abstract
In recent years, various reports related to sensing application research have suggested that combining the synergistic impacts of optical, electrical or magnetic properties in a single technique can lead to a new multitasking platform. Owing to their unique features of the magnetic moment, biocompatibility, ease of surface modification, chemical stability, high surface area, high mass transference, magnetic nanoparticles have found a wide range of applications in various fields, especially in sensing systems. The present review is comprehensive information about magnetic nanoparticles utilized in the optical sensing platform, broadly categorized into four types: surface plasmon resonance (SPR), surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), fluorescence spectroscopy and near-infrared spectroscopy and imaging (NIRS) that are commonly used in various (bio) analytical applications. The review also includes some conclusions on the state of the art in this field and future aspects.
