Abstract
Hyaluronidase (HAase) is a biomarker for cancer, and its detection is of great significance for early diagnosis. However, the requirement of sophisticated instruments, tedious operation procedures, and labeled molecules of conventional HAase biosensing methods hampers their widespread applications. Herein, we report a portable slippery viscosity-sensing platform with time readout for the first time and demonstrate HAase and tannic acid (TA, HAase inhibitor) detection as a model system. HAase specifically cleaves hyaluronic acid (HA) and decreases HA solution viscosity, thereby shortening the aqueous droplet's sliding time on a slippery surface. Thus, the HA solution viscosity alteration due to enzymatic hydrolysis is used to quantify the HAase concentration through the difference in the sliding time of the aqueous droplets on a slippery surface. The developed HAase sensing platform exhibits high sensitivity with a minimum detection limit of 0.23 U/mL and excellent specificity without the use of specialized instruments and labeled molecules. HAase detection in actual urine samples by a standard addition method is performed as well. Moreover, the quantitative detection of TA with an IC50 value of 37.68 ± 1.38 μg/mL is achieved. As an equipment-free, label-free, and high-portability sensing platform, this method holds promise in developing a user-friendly and inexpensive point-of-care testing (POCT) device for HAase detection, and its use can be extended to analyze other analytes with different stimuli-responsive polymers for great universality and expansibility in biosensing applications.

Abstract
Hyaluronidase (HAase) is a potential tumor biomarker for diseases of the digestive tract and nervous system, the development of simple and sensitive techniques for HAase determination is urgent needed. Gold nanorods (Au NRs) can be etched by H2O2 with high efficiency and display color changing. In this work, a HAase-responsive hydrogel system had been designed and the amount of H2O2 spilled from the system had a close relationship with the amount of HAase, then the spilled H2O2 had been applied to etch Au NRs. The color change of the solution was used to realize semi-quantitative determination of HAase. Furthermore, the longitudinal peak shift of Au NRs had a linear correlation with the concentration of HAase in the range of 10-60 U/mL (within 40 min) and the limit of detection (LOD) was 3.8 U/mL (S/N = 3), which can be used to realize accurate quantitative analysis of HAase. The proposed method has been applied to monitor HAase in serum of pancreatic cancer patients with satisfied results.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BCa) is one of the most expensive and common malignancies in the urinary system due to its high progression and recurrence rate. Although there are various methods, including cystoscopy, biopsy, and cytology, that have become the standard diagnosis methods for BCa, their intrinsic invasive and inaccurate properties need to be overcome. The novel urine cancer biomarkers are assisted by nanomaterials-based biosensors, such as field-effect transistors (FETs) with high sensitivity and specificity, which may provide solutions to these problems. In addition, nanomaterials can be applied for the advancement of next-generation optical imaging techniques and the contrast agents of conventional techniques; for example, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for the diagnosis of BCa. Regarding BCa therapy, nanocarriers, including mucoadhesive nanoparticles and other polymeric nanoparticles, successfully overcome the disadvantages of conventional intravesical instillation and improve the efficacy and safety of intravesical chemotherapy for BCa. Aside from chemotherapy, nanomedicine-based novel therapies, including photodynamic therapy (PDT), photothermal therapy (PTT), chemodynamic therapy (CDT), sonodynamic therapy (SDT), and combination therapy, have afforded us new ways to provide BC therapy and hope, which can be translated into the clinic. In addition, nanomotors and the nanomaterials-based solid tumor disassociation strategy provide new ideas for future research. Here, the advances in BCa diagnosis and therapy mentioned above are reviewed in this paper.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is the most common malignant tumor of the urinary system, however there are several shortcomings in current diagnostic and therapeutic measures. In terms of diagnosis, the diagnostic tools currently available are not sufficiently sensitive and specific, and imaging is poor, leading to misdiagnosis and missed diagnoses, which can delay treatment. In terms of treatment, current treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, gene therapy, and other emerging treatments, as well as combination therapies. However, the main reasons for poor efficacy and side effects during treatment are the lack of specificity and targeting, improper dose control of drugs and photosensitizers, damage to normal cells while attacking cancer cells, and difficulty in delivering siRNA to cancer cells. Nanomedicine is an emerging approach. Among the many nanotechnologies applied in the medical field, nanocarrier-assisted drug delivery systems have attracted extensive research interest due to their great translational value. Well-designed nanoparticles can deliver agents or drugs to specific cell types within target organs through active targeting or passive targeting (enhanced permeability and retention), which allows for imaging, diagnosis, as well as treatment of cancer. This paper reviews advances in the application of various nanocarriers and their advantages and drawbacks, with a focus on their use in the diagnosis and treatment of bladder cancer.

Abstract
A novel electrochemiluminescence (ECL) biosensor for hyaluronidase (HAase) based on the adjustable electrostatic interaction between the surface-charge-controllable nanoparticles and negatively charged electrode has been devised. Hyaluronic acid (HA)-coated amino-modified ruthenium bipyridine-doped silica nanoparticles (Ru@SiO2-NH2@HA NPs) have been synthesized and act as ECL indicators, and the surface of this particle is negatively charged because HA contains a large amount of OH- and COO-. The strong electrostatic repulsion between the Ru@SiO2-NH2@HA NPs and negatively charged indium tin oxide (ITO) electrode surface leads to the detection of a low-intensity ECL signal. In the presence of HAase, the HA on the surface of the Ru@SiO2-NH2@HA NPs can be decomposed, and the particles can be transformed into positively charged amino-modified ruthenium bipyridine-doped silica nanoparticles (Ru@SiO2-NH2 NPs), which can be concentrated near the surface of the ITO electrode through electrostatic attraction, and result in the detection of an enhanced ECL signal. The ECL of the system has a good linear relationship with HAase concentration in the range of 2.0-60 U/mL, and the limit of detection was 0.37 U/mL. The designed biosensor had been applied to detect the target in real samples with satisfied results.

Abstract
Objectives: Tumor cells were reported to have perpetual negative surface charges due to elevated glycolysis, and multifunctional nanoprobes (Fe3O4@SiO2, mNPs) could attach onto tumor cells via opposite surface charges. We thus evaluated whether mixing mNPs with urine could improve the sensitivity of urine cytology test (UCT). Methods: We developed a novel UCT method by mixing urine with mNPs (Nano-cytology) to harvest more tumor cells during UCT procedures. The same voided urine sample was divided equally for the Nano-cytology and UCT assay, and evaluated by cytopathologists in a blinded way. The accuracy of UCT, Nano-cytology, and the combination of the two approaches (Nano-UCT) for detecting bladder cancer were determined. Results: Urine samples were prospectively collected from 102 bladder cancer patients and 49 non-cancer participants from June 2020 to February 2021 in Changhai Hospital. Overall sensitivity of the Nano-cytology assay was significantly higher than that of the UCT assay (82.4 vs. 59.8%, p < .01). Sensitivity for low- and high-grade tumors was 79.1% and 39.5% (p < .01) and 84.7% and 74.6% (p = .25) for Nano-cytology and UCT, respectively. Specificity of Nano-cytology was slightly lower than that of UCT (89.8% vs. 100%, p = .022), which is mainly caused by severe urinary tract infection. In addition, Nano-UCT showed increased sensitivity with 90.2% for overall patients, and 83.7% and 94.9% for low- and high-grade tumor, respectively. Conclusion: The Nano-cytology assay had a significantly improved sensitivity compared with UCT for detecting bladder cancer patients. It represents a promising tool for diagnosis of bladder cancer in clinical practice.

A simple strategy to enhance the luminescence of metal nanoclusters and its application for turn-on detection of 2-thiouracil and hyaluronidase. Talanta 2022; 236:122876.

Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (NCs) as promising nanomaterials for sensing applications have attracted significant attention because of their unique photoluminescence properties. However, the quantum yields of metal NCs are still relatively low when compared to conventional quantum dots and organic dyes, posing a major obstacle to their assay application. It is challenging but important to pursue a way to improve the luminescence of metal NCs. In this work, we developed a novel strategy to enhance the luminescence of silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs) based on the binding with 6-aza-2-thiothymine (ATT) via Au3+ bridging. We studied the possible mechanism of this binding-induced luminescence enhancement and attributed it to the ligands rigidifying. Since 2-thiouracil (2-TU), a common anticancer, antithyroid, and antiviral agent, featured a similar molecular structure of ATT, this luminescence enhancement strategy can be designed to sensitive and selective turn-on detect 2-TU. As far as we know, this is the first report for the fluorescent turn-on detect 2-TU. Benefiting from the good performance of this method and the advantages of fluorescence assay, intracellular imaging of 2-TU, which has yet to be achieved based on currently developed analytical methods for 2-TU, was carried out via our approach. Moreover, to further expand the sensing application of the developed luminescence enhancement method, we constructed a universal detection platform. Taking hyaluronidase as a target, the feasibility of the detection platform was confirmed. The discoveries in this study offer a simple route to improve the optical properties of NCs and design their sensing applications.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) is a common malignancy in the genitourinary system and the current theranostic approaches are unsatisfactory. Sensitivity and specificity of current diagnosis methods are not ideal and high recurrence and progression rates after initial treatment indicate the urgent need for management improvements in clinic. Nanotechnology has been proposed as an effective method to improve theranosis efficiency for both non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). For example, gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have been developed for simple, fast and sensitive urinary sample test for bladder cancer diagnosis. Nanoparticles targeting bladder cancers can facilitate to distinguish the normal and abnormal bladder tissues during cystoscopy and thus help with the complete removal of malignant lesions. Both intravenous and intravesical agents can be modified by nanotechnology for targeted delivery, high anti-tumor efficiency and excellent tolerability, exhibiting encouraging potential in bladder cancer treatment. Photosensitizers and biological agents can also be delivered by nanotechnology, intermediating phototherapy and targeted therapy. The management of bladder cancer remained almost unchanged for decades with unsatisfactory effect. However, it is likely to change with the fast-developed nanotechnology. Herein we summarized the current utility of nanotechnology in bladder cancer diagnosis and treatment, providing insights for the future designing and discovering novel nanoparticles for bladder cancer management. ![]()

Abstract
A label-free fluorescence assay for hyaluronidase (HAase) activity based on self-assembly of quantum dots is developed. A cationic polymer (polycation) can induce aggregation of the negatively charged quantum dots through electrostatic interactions and the fluorescence of the quantum dots is quenched. When the polycation is mixed with hyaluronic acid (HA), intense binding of HA to the polycation makes the quantum dots free and recovery of the fluorescence of the quantum dots is observed. However, in the presence of HAase, HA is hydrolyzed into small fragments and the polycation induces reaggregation of the quantum dots. A simple and rapid fluorescence sensor with high sensitivity and selectivity for HAase activity detection is therefore successfully established with a detection limit of 0.01 U/mL. Moreover, we have demonstrated an assay that can be applied to detect HAase activity in a complex mixture sample including 1% human serum.

Abstract
The change in hyaluronidase (HAase) is related to specific changes in the structure of vitreous, and it is necessary to develop simple but sensitive methods for HAase detection. In this work, a thin film fabricated from a hyaluronic acid (HA)-polyethyleneimine (PEI) hydrogel has been covered on a mixed cellulose microporous membrane (MCEM) to form a HA-PEI-MCEM firstly and it was then applied in a filtration system. The permeability of the filter membrane greatly affects the amount of water passing through within a certain time and the water can be collected and quantitatively measured with a simple electronic balance easily. The low permeability of the HA-PEI-MCEM allows a small amount of water to be drained. But after the addition of HAase, which can hydrolyze HA in the hydrogel, the permeability of the membrane increased. Therefore, the amount of water passing through the HA-PEI-MCEM composite membrane increased accordingly. The composite of the membrane, and the reaction conditions after the addition of HAase were optimized. Under the optimized conditions, the amount of water collected within 5 min showed a linear relationship with the HAase concentration in a range of 1.0-36 U mL-1 with a limit of detection of 0.35 U mL-1.The proposed method has been applied to detect HAase in vitreous samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) is the second most common cancer of the urinary tract in men and the fourth most common cancer in women, and its incidence rises with age. There are many conventional methods for diagnosis and treatment of BC. There are some current biomarkers and clinical tests for the diagnosis and treatment of BC. For example, radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy and surgical, but residual tumor cells mostly cause tumor recurrence. In addition, chemotherapy after transurethral resection causes high side effects, and lack of selectivity, and low sensitivity in sensing. Therefore, it is essential to improve new procedures for the diagnosis and treatment of BC. Nanotechnology has recently sparked an interest in a variety of areas, including medicine, chemistry, physics, and biology. Nanoparticles (NP) have been used in tumor therapies as appropriate tools for enhancing drug delivery efficacy and enabling therapeutic performance. It is noteworthy, nanomaterial could be reduced the limitation of conventional cancer diagnosis and treatments. Since, the major disadvantages of therapeutic drugs are their insolubility in an aqueous solvent, for instance, paclitaxel (PTX) is one of the important therapeutic agents utilized to treating BC, due to its ability to prevent cancer cell growth. However, its major problem is the poor solubility, which has confirmed to be a challenge when improving stable formulations for BC treatment. In order to reduce this challenge, anti-cancer drugs can be loaded into NPs that can improve water solubility. In our review, we state several nanosystem, which can effective and useful for the diagnosis, treatment of BC. We investigate the function of metal NPs, polymeric NPs, liposomes, and exosomes accompanied therapeutic agents for BC Therapy, and then focused on the potential of nanotechnology to improve conventional approaches in sensing.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is the leading cause of death in patients with genitourinary cancer. An elevated level of hyaluronidase (HAase) was found in bladder cancer, which acts as an important biomarker for the early diagnosis of bladder cancer. Hence, there is a need to develop a simple enzymatic assay for the early recognition of HAase. Herein, we report a simple, sensitive, and ratiometric fluorescence assay for HAase detection under physiological conditions. The fluorescence assay was constructed by the adsorption of cationic carbon dots and positively charged naphthalimide on negatively charged hyaluronic acid and the development of a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) mechanism from carbon dots to a naphthalimide fluorophores. The hyaluronidase enzyme cleaves the hyaluronic acid in this assay, and breaking down the FRET mechanism induces ratiometric changes. A detection limit of 0.09 U/mL was achieved, which is less than the HAase level found in normal human body fluids. Moreover, this assay may be used for diagnosing HAase-related diseases.

Abstract
An in situ microbalance and infrared spectroscopic study of alternating exposures to Me2Au(S2CNEt2) and ozone illuminates the organometallic chemistry that allows for the thermal atomic layer deposition (ALD) of gold. In situ quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) studies resolve the nucleation delay and island growth of Au on a freshly prepared aluminum oxide surface with single cycle resolution, revealing inhibition for 40 cycles prior to slow nucleation and film coalescence that extends over 300 cycles. In situ infrared spectroscopy informed by first-principles computation provides insight into the surface chemistry of the self-limiting half-reactions, which are consistent with an oxidized Au surface mechanism. X-ray diffraction of ALD-grown gold on silicon, silica, sapphire, and mica reveals consistent out-of-plane oriented crystalline film growth as well as epitaxially directed in-plane orientation on closely lattice-matched mica at a relatively low growth temperature of 180 °C. A more complete understanding of ALD gold nucleation, surface chemistry, and epitaxy will inform the next generation of low-temperature, nanoscale, textured depositions that are applicable to high surface area supports.

Abstract
A novel ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based method was developed for the determination of hyaluronidase (HAase), which was based on hyaluronic acid-coated gold nanoparticles (HA-AuNPs) as a substrate, via a facile one-pot method. The detection mechanism is based on HAase which can hydrolyze HA on HA-AuNPs into hyaluronic acid oligomers, causing the originally uniformly dispersed HA-AuNPs to be disintegrated into many smaller HA-AuNPs. These oligomers in turn increase the surface shielding of AuNPs, resulting in high aggregation tendencies. As a result, the original SERS substrate was disassembled, leading to a weakening of the SERS signal at 1173 cm-1. Malachite green was also used as a Raman probe to detect the change of SERS peak intensity and to quantify HAase. Compared with other methods for the determination of HAase, this method is more convenient and efficient; its determination limit was 0.4 mU mL-1. The recoveries of HAase spiked into human urine samples ranged from 97.2 to 103.9%.

Rapid noninvasive detection of bladder cancer using survivin antibody-conjugated gold nanoparticles (GNPs) based on localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). Cancer Immunol Immunother 2020; 69:1833-1840.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bladder cancer is diagnosed by the use of several biomarkers, including survivin. This protein has an important role in the cancer progression by controlling the rate of cell apoptosis. Findings show that there is no survivin in normal tissues, whereas the level of survivin expression increases in tumor cells. DESIGN The purpose of this study was to specify the reactive antibodies to survivin protein as a biomarker to determine the bladder cancer stage with ELISA method and using GNPs conjugated with survivin antibody. The serum and urine samples of patients with bladder cancer were collected among those referred to Sina Hospital, Tehran, Iran. The survivin protein level was measured in the serum and urine by ELISA technique and in the urine by GNPs conjugated with survivin. RESULTS Based on the results of ELISA, the serum and urinary levels of survivin increased significantly in T3 and T4 stages of the disease (high grades), compared with the healthy individuals. Also, using conjugated GNPs, survivin protein was detected in the urine specimens of patients at all grades (low and high grades). CONCLUSION Our findings showed that using the ELISA technique, the increased level of survivin could be identified in high grades of bladder cancer, but using anti-survivin antibody-conjugated GNPs, bladder cancer can be detected in early stages. The applied method was found to be a rapid tool, dependent on visible color changes and colorimetric detection, without any need for reader devices.

Abstract
A ratiometric surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based method is described for the determination of the activity of hyaluronidase (HAase). Gold nanorods (AuNRs) were functionalized with 4-thiobenzonitrile (TBN) to act as the Raman reporter (TBN-AuNRs), and 4-thiophenylacetylene-functionalized gold-silver alloy nanoparticles (TPA-AuAgNPs) were used as the reference. Hyaluronic acid (HA) acts as the HAase recognition element. The TBN-modified AuNRs aggregate in the presence of HA due to the strong electrostatic interaction between the positively charged TBN-AuNRs and negatively charged HA. This strongly enhances the Raman signal of TBN at 2220 cm-1. However, HA has no significant effect on the dispersion of the modified AuAg NPs which are electroneutral. Hence, no change can be seen in the Raman intensity of TPA at 1974 cm-1. In the presence of HAase, HA is digested into smaller fragments. This results in good dispersion of the TBN-AuNRs and a weaker TBN Raman signal. Hence, the ratio of the Raman peaks at 1974 and 2220 cm-1 increases. Under the optimized conditions, the ratio changes in the 5-70 U mL-1 HAase activity range, and the detection limit is 1.7 U mL-1 (based on the 3σ rule). Moreover, this method has been successfully applied in the determination of the activity of HAase in artificial urine and it is expected to be a new method for the diagnosis of cancer, especially bladder cancer.

Abstract
Hyaluronidase (HAase), a specific enzyme of hyaluronic acid (HA), has been reported as a potential tumor biomarker in recent years. Hence, developing some simple, rapid, and sensitive methods for HAase assay is necessary. In this work, a simple and sensitive biosensor constructed by a reliable controlled release system and a mature electrochemiluminescence (ECL) analytical technique has been devised for the quantification of HAase with high efficiency and selectivity. Tris (2,2'-bipyridyl) ruthenium(II) chloride hexahydrate doped SiO2 nanoparticles (Ru@SiO2 NPs), as ECL signal probes, were trapped in the hydrogel fabricated by HA and polyethylenimine evenly and steadily. When HAase existed, the hydrogel was decomposed by HAase, and the Ru@SiO2 NPs escaped from the hydrogel into the supernate. The ECL signal produced from the supernate can be detected and used to characterize HAase concentration. The result showed a good linear relationship between ECL intensity, and HAase concentration ranged from 2 to 60 U/mL and the limit of detection was 2 U/mL. The developed controlled release ECL biosensor has been used for HAase quantification in urine samples with satisfactory results.

Abstract
Assays for chemical biomarkers are a vital component in the ecosystem of noninvasive disease state assessment, many of which rely on quantification by colorimetric reactions or spectrophotometry. While modern advances in microfluidic technology have enabled such classes of devices to be employed in medical applications, the challenge has persisted in adapting the necessary tooling and equipment to integrate spectrophotometry into a microfluidic workflow. Spectrophotometric measurements are common in biomarker assays because of straightforward acquisition, ease of developing the assay's mechanism of action, and ease of tuning sensitivity. In this work, 3D-printed, discrete microfluidic elements are leveraged to develop a model system for assaying hyaluronidase, a urinary biomarker of bladder cancer, via absorbance spectrometry of gold nanoparticle aggregation. Compared to laboratory microtiter plate-based techniques, the system demonstrates equivalent performance while remaining competitive in terms of resource and operation requirements and cost.

Abstract
In the field of tissue engineering, conductive hydrogels have been the most effective biomaterials to mimic the biological and electrical properties of tissues in the human body. The main advantages of conductive hydrogels include not only their physical properties but also their adequate electrical properties, which provide electrical signals to cells efficiently. However, when introducing a conductive material into a non-conductive hydrogel, a conflicting relationship between the electrical and mechanical properties may develop. This review examines the strengths and weaknesses of the generation of conductive hydrogels using various conductive materials such as metal nanoparticles, carbons, and conductive polymers. The fabrication method of blending, coating, and in situ polymerization is also added. Furthermore, the applications of conductive hydrogel in cardiac tissue engineering, nerve tissue engineering, and bone tissue engineering and skin regeneration are discussed in detail.

Abstract
Fluorescence is a powerful and sensitive tool in biological detection, used widely for cellular imaging and in vitro molecular diagnostics. Over time, three prominent conventions have emerged in the design of fluorescent biosensors: a sensor is ideally specific for its target, only one fluorescence signal turns on or off in response to the target, and each target requires its own sensor and signal combination. These are conventions but not requirements, and sensors that break with one or more of these conventions can offer new capabilities and advantages. Here, we review "unconventional" fluorescent sensor configurations based on fluorescent dyes, proteins, and nanomaterials such as quantum dots and metal nanoclusters. These configurations include multifluorophore Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) networks, temporal multiplexing, photonic logic, and cross-reactive arrays or "noses". The more complex but carefully engineered biorecognition and fluorescence signaling modalities in unconventional designs are richer in information, afford greater multiplexing capacity, and are potentially better suited to the analysis of complex biological samples, interactions, processes, and diseases. We conclude with a short perspective on the future of unconventional fluorescent sensors and encourage researchers to imagine sensing beyond the metaphorical light bulb and light switch combination.

Abstract
Nowadays, the potential scope of nanotechnology in uro-oncology (cancers of the prostate, bladder, and kidney) is broad, ranging from drug delivery, prevention, and diagnosis to treatment. Novel drug delivery methods using magnetic nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, and polymeric nanoparticles have been investigated in prostate cancer. Additionally, renal cancer treatment may be profoundly influenced by applications of nanotechnology principles. Various nanoparticle-based strategies for kidney cancer therapy have been proposed. Partly due to the dilution of drug concentrations by urine production, causing inadequate drug delivery to tumor cells in the treatment of bladder cancer, various multifunctional bladder-targeted nanoparticles have been developed to enhance therapeutic efficiency. In each of these cancer research fields, nanotechnology has shown several advantages over widely used traditional methods. Different types of nanoparticles improve the solubility of poorly soluble drugs, and multifunctional nanoparticles have good specificity toward prostate, renal, and bladder cancer. Moreover, nanotechnology can also combine with other novel technologies to further enhance effectivity. As our understanding of nanotechnologies grows, additional opportunities to improve the diagnosis and treatment of urological cancer are excepted to arise. In this review, we focus on nanotechnologies with potential applications in urological cancer therapy and highlight clinical areas that would benefit from nanoparticle therapy.

Abstract
Carbon dots (CDs) emerge as excellent fluorescent nanomaterials, but the full exploitation and application of their exceptional properties in the development of fluorescence assay are still rare. In this work, cationic carbon dots (C-CDs) covered with plenty of positive charges on the surface were synthesized through a facile ultrasonic method. Negatively charged hyaluronic acid (HA) caused the aggregation of positively charged C-CDs and neutral red (NR) along its linear chain via electrostatic adsorption, leading to a remarkable Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) from C-CDs to NR. However, the presence of hyaluronidase (HAase) resulted in the enzymolysis of HA, as well as the liberation of C-CDs and NR. The corresponding change of fluorescence color from red to green-yellow afforded a reliable ratiometric assay for HAase. Also the ratio of fluorescence intensity for C-CDs (I525) to that for NR (I630) was used for quantitative detection of HAase. The proposed sensing system was easily operated in aqueous media with a detection limit of 0.05 U/mL. This strategy provides a new approach for the wider application of some special CDs in detecting biomolecules.

Abstract
In vitro biosensors have been an integral component for early diagnosis of cancer in the clinic. Among them, no-wash biosensors, which only depend on the simple mixing of the signal generating probes and the sample solution without additional washing and separation steps, have been found to be particularly attractive. The outstanding advantages of facile, convenient, and rapid response of no-wash biosensors are especially suitable for point-of-care testing (POCT). One fast-growing field of no-wash biosensor design involves the usage of nanomaterials as signal amplification carriers or direct signal generating elements. The analytical capacity of no-wash biosensors with respect to sensitivity or limit of detection, specificity, stability, and multiplexing detection capacity is largely improved because of their large surface area, excellent optical, electrical, catalytic, and magnetic properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview of various nanomaterial-enhanced no-wash biosensing technologies and focuses on the analysis of the underlying mechanism of these technologies applied for the early detection of cancer biomarkers ranging from small molecules to proteins, and even whole cancerous cells. Representative examples are selected to demonstrate the proof-of-concept with promising applications for in vitro diagnostics of cancer. Finally, a brief discussion of common unresolved issues and a perspective outlook on the field are provided.

Abstract
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), in particularly gelatinases (MMP-2 and MMP-9) were reported as urinary markers of bladder cancer. In this work, we developed a simple colorimetric gold nanoparticle (AuNP) assay for rapid and sensitive detection of urinary total gelatinase activity based on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) property of AuNPs. Gelatin-modified AuNPs were stably suspended in solution even upon addition of an aggregation inducer as 6-mercaptohexan-1-ol (6-MCH). Gelatinases digest gelatin capping. Subsequently, addition of 6-MCH leads to AuNPs aggregation with red to blue color shift. In a pilot study, results of the developed AuNP assay were consistent with zymography for qualitative detection of urinary total gelatinase activity. The sensitivity and specificity of both assays were 80% and 90.9% respectively. The absorption ratios, A625/A530 of the reacted AuNP solutions were used to quantify the total gelatinase concentration. The best cut off value was 0.01895ng/μg protein, at which the sensitivity was 87.5% and the specificity was 86.4%. The developed AuNP assay is simple, low-cost and can aid non-invasive diagnosis of bladder cancer.

Abstract
In this work, a bottom-up strategy is developed to synthesize water-soluble molybdenum disulfide quantum dots (MoS2 QDs) through a simple, one-step hydrothermal method using ammonium tetrathiomolybdate [(NH4)2MoS4] as the precursor and hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agent. The as-synthesized MoS2 QDs are few-layered with a narrow size distribution, and the average diameter is about 2.8 nm. The resultant QDs show excitation-dependent blue fluorescence due to the polydispersity of the QDs. Moreover, the fluorescence can be quenched by hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized gold nanoparticles through a photoinduced electron-transfer mechanism. Hyaluronidase (HAase), an endoglucosidase, can cleave HA into proangiogenic fragments and lead to the aggregation of gold nanoparticles. As a result, the electron transfer is blocked and fluorescence is recovered. On the basis of this principle, a novel fluorescence sensor for HAase is developed with a linear range from 1 to 50 U/mL and a detection limit of 0.7 U/mL.

Abstract
Plasmonic nanoparticles are an attractive material for light harvesting applications due to their easily modified surface, high surface area and large extinction coefficients which can be tuned across the visible spectrum. Research into the plasmonic enhancement of optical transitions has become popular, due to the possibility of altering and in some cases improving photo-absorption or emission properties of nearby chromophores such as molecular dyes or quantum dots. The electric field of the plasmon can couple with the excitation dipole of a chromophore, perturbing the electronic states involved in the transition and leading to increased absorption and emission rates. These enhancements can also be negated at close distances by energy transfer mechanism, making the spatial arrangement of the two species critical. Ultimately, enhancement of light harvesting efficiency in plasmonic solar cells could lead to thinner and, therefore, lower cost devices. The development of hybrid core/shell particles could offer a solution to this issue. The addition of a dielectric spacer between a gold nanoparticles and a chromophore is the proposed method to control the exciton plasmon coupling strength and thereby balance losses with the plasmonic gains. A detailed procedure for the coating of gold nanoparticles with CdS and ZnS semiconductor shells is presented. The nanoparticles show high uniformity with size control in both the core gold particles and shell species allowing for a more accurate investigation into the plasmonic enhancement of external chromophores.

Abstract
Many pathological changes in solid tumours are caused by the accumulation of genetic mutations and epigenetic molecular alterations. In addition, tumour progression is profoundly influenced by the environment surrounding the transformed cells. The interplay between tumour cells and their microenvironment has been recognized as one of the key determinants of cancer development and is being extensively investigated. Data suggest that both the extracellular matrix and the microbiota represent microenvironments that contribute to the onset and progression of tumours. Through the introduction of omics technologies and pyrosequencing analyses, a detailed investigation of these two microenvironments is now possible. In urological research, assessment of their dysregulation has become increasingly important to provide diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers for urothelial bladder cancer. Understanding the roles of the extracellular matrix and microbiota, two key components of the urothelial mucosa, in the sequelae of pathogenic events that occur in the development and progression of urothelial carcinomas will be important to overcome the shortcomings in current bladder cancer treatment strategies.

Abstract
Hyaluronidase (HAase) is becoming a new type of tumor marker since it has been demonstrated to be overexpressed in various kinds of cancer cells. In this study, we described a novel fluorescence method for sensitive, rapid, and convenient HAase detection and tumor-targeting drug delivery and imaging, using a probe prepared by electrostatic assembly of a cationic conjugated polymer (CCP) and anionic hyaluronan (HA) conjugated with the anticancer drug doxorubicin (Dox). The CCP we used was poly{[9,9-bis(6'-(N,N,N-diethylmethylammonium)hexyl)-2,7-fluorenylene ethynylene]-alt-co-[2,5-bis(3'-(N,N,N-diethylmethylammonium)-1'-oxapropyl)-1,4-phenylene]} tetraiodide (PFEP). HA is a natural mucopolysaccharide that can be hydrolyzed by HAase into fragments with low molecular weights. In the PFEP/HA-Dox complex, the fluorescence of PFEP was efficiently quenched due to electron transfer from PFEP to Dox. After the PFEP/HA-Dox complex was exposed to HAase or was taken up by cancer cells through the specific binding between HA and CD44 receptor, HA was degraded by HAase to release the Dox, leading to the recovery of PFEP fluorescence to the "turn-on" state. Moreover, the degree of fluorescence recovery was quantitatively correlated with the concentrations of HAase. Compared with many previously reported methods, our work did not require laborious multiple modifications of HA that may affect the activity of HAase. This point, combined with the excellent optoelectronic property of conjugated polymer, endowed this method with high sensitivity (detection limit: 0.075 U/mL), high specificity, and rapid response, making it applicable for reliable and routine detection of HAase. This fluorescent probe was successfully utilized to detect HAase levels in human urine samples; furthermore, it can also be employed as a multifunctional system by realizing tumor-targeting drug delivery and cell imaging simultaneously. The development of this fluorescence method showed promising potential for early tumor diagnosis and therapy based on HAase detection.

Abstract
Commercial protein assays used ubiquitously in laboratories typically require long incubation times due to the inherently slow protein-reagent reactions. In this study, we report a novel facile technique for the instantaneous measurement of total protein concentration by exploiting the rapid aggregation dynamics of gold nanoparticles (NPs). By adsorbing different amounts of proteins on their surface to form a protein corona, these NPs can be sterically stabilized to different degrees by aggregation, thus exhibiting a spectrum of color change which can be quantitatively characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. We evaluated this technique on four model proteins with different structures: bovine serum albumin (BSA), normal mouse immunoglobulin G (IgG), fibrinogen (FBG) and apolipoprotein A-I (Apo-A1) using two approaches, sequential and simultaneous. We obtained an approach-dependent linear concentration range up to 80 μg mL(-1) and 400 μg mL(-1) for sequential and simultaneous approaches, respectively. This linear working range was wider than that of the commercial Bradford assay and comparable to the Micro BCA assay. The simultaneous approach was also able to produce a linear working range of 200 to 1000 μg mL(-1) (R(2) = 0.995) in human urine, while the sequential approach was non-functional in urine. Similar to Micro BCA, the NP-based protein assay was able to elicit a linear response (R(2) > 0.87) for all four proteins with different structures. However, unlike Micro BCA which requires up to 120 min of incubation, we were able to obtain the read-out almost instantaneously without the need for incubation. The NP-based technique using the simultaneous approach can thus be exploited as a novel assay for instantaneous protein quantification to increase the productivity of laboratory processes.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is a common malignancy of the urinary tract, which generally develops in the epithelial lining of the urinary bladder. The specific course of treatment depends on the stage of bladder cancer; however, therapeutic strategies typically involve intravesical drug delivery to reduce toxicity and increase therapeutic effects. Recently, metallic, polymeric, lipid, and protein nanoparticles have been introduced to aid in the treatment of bladder cancer. Nanoparticles are also commonly used as pharmaceutical carriers to improve interactions between drugs and the urothelium. In this review, we classify the characteristics of bladder cancer and discuss the types of nanoparticles used in various treatment modalities. Finally we summarize the potential applications and benefits of various nanoparticles in intravesical therapy.

Abstract
The polysaccharide hyaluronan (HA) is a main component of peri- and extracellular matrix, and an attractive molecule for materials design in tissue engineering and nanomedicine. Here, we study the morphology of complexes that form upon interaction of nanometer-sized amine-coated gold particles with this anionic, linear, and regular biopolymer in solution and grafted to a surface. We find that cationic nanoparticles (NPs) have profound effects on HA morphology on the molecular and supramolecular scale. Quartz crystal microbalance (QCM-D) shows that depending on their relative abundance, cationic NPs promote either strong compaction or swelling of films of surface-grafted HA polymers (HA brushes). Transmission electron and atomic force microscopy reveal that the NPs do also give rise to complexes of distinct morphologies-compact nanoscopic spheres and extended microscopic fibers-upon interaction with HA polymers in solution. In particular, stable and hydrated spherical complexes of single HA polymers with NPs can be prepared when balancing the ionizable groups on HA and NPs. The observed self-assembly phenomena could be useful for the design of drug delivery vehicles and a better understanding of the reorganization of HA-rich synthetic or biological matrices.

Abstract
Early screening for bladder cancer (BC) holds the key to combat and control the increasing global burden of BC mortality. We presented a simple approach to characterize, analyze, and validate a panel of biomarkers in BC and their relationship to bilharziasis. We investigated voided urine and blood samples from patients with bladder cancer (n = 94), benign bladder lesions (n = 60), and age-matched normal controls (n = 56). This study was divided into the following phases. (1) We analyzed the expression of urinary Hyaluronoglucosaminidase 1 (HYAL1) protein in BC and control samples by zymography. (2) We performed bioinformatics analysis to retrieve a set of epigenetic regulators of HYAL1. (3) This set of three selected genes [long non-coding RNA-urothelial cancer associated 1(lncRNA-UCA1), microRNA-210, and microRNA-96] was then analyzed in the same urine samples used in phase I by quantitative real-time PCR. (4) A high reproducibility of gene selection results was also determined from statistical validation. The urinary expression of HYAL1 protein and its epigenetic regulators were higher in BC patients (P < .001). The receiver-operating characteristic curve analyses demonstrated that each one had good sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing BC patients from non-BC ones (HYAL1, 89.4 and 91.2 %; miR-210, 76.6 and 93 %; miR-96, 76.6 and 89.4 %; and lncRNA-UCA1, 91.5 and 96.5 %). There was a significant positive correlation between HYAL1 and the selected epigenetic biomarkers. The performance of this urine biomarker panel reached 100 % sensitivity and 89.5 % specificity for bladder cancer diagnosis.

Abstract
Schistosomiasis (SCH) is the second only to malaria among the parasitic diseases affecting humans regarding the prevalence of infection worldwide. In this nonsystematic review, we summarize the existing data on commercially available and promising investigational urine markers for the detection of SCH and its associated bladder cancer (BC). We searched PubMed, Scopus and Cochran without time limits. We reviewed the recent literatures on urine-based markers for SCH and its associated BC. Many studies identified several urine biomarkers of Schistosoma haematobium and Schistosoma mansoni worms and their associated BC using automated, inexpensive, quantitative assays in urine. These markers may aid in early detection of bladder carcinoma and have the potential to reduce the number of follow-up cystoscopy, thus reducing healthcare costs and patient discomfort, at the same time. Nevertheless, clinical evidence is insufficient to warrant the substitution of the cystoscopic follow-up scheme by any of the currently available urine marker tests.

Abstract
Hyaluronan (HA) shows promise for detecting cancerous change in pleural effusion and
urine. However, there is uncertainty about the localization of HA in tumor tissue and
its relationship with different histological types and other components of the
extracellular matrix, such as angiogenesis. We evaluated the association between HA
and degree of malignancy through expression in lung tumor tissue and sputum. Tumoral
tissue had significantly increased HA compared to normal tissue. Strong HA staining
intensity associated with cancer cells was significant in squamous cell carcinoma
compared to adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma. A significant direct association
was found between tumors with a high percentage of HA and MVD (microvessel density)
in tumoral stroma. Similarly significant was the direct association between N1 tumors
and high levels of HA in cancer cells. Cox multivariate analysis showed significant
association between better survival and low HA. HA increased in sputum from lung
cancer patients compared to cancer-free and healthy volunteers and a significant
correlation was found between HA in sputum and HA in cancer tissue. Localization of
HA in tumor tissue was related to malignancy and reflected in sputum, making this an
emerging factor for an important diagnostic procedure in patients suspected to have
lung cancer. Further study in additional patients in a randomized prospective trial
is required to finalize these results and to validate our quantitative assessment of
HA, as well as to couple it to gold standard sputum cytology.

Abstract
Nanotechnology is being developed for the diagnosis and treatment of both nonmyoinvasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) and invasive bladder cancer. The diagnostic applications of nanotechnology in NMIBC mainly focus on tumor identification during endoscopy to increase complete resection of bladder cancer while nanotechnology to capture malignant cells or their components continues to be developed. The therapeutic applications of nanotechnology in NMIBC are to reformulate biological and cytotoxic agents for intravesical instillation, combine both diagnostic and therapeutic application in one nanoformulation. In invasive and advanced bladder cancer, magnetic resonance imaging with supraparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can improve the sensitivity and specificity in detecting small metastasis to lymph nodes. Nanoformulation of cytotoxic agents can potentially decrease the toxicity while increasing efficacy.

Abstract
In order to increase the reproducibility and stability of electrochemical immunosensor, which is a key issue for its application and popularization, an accurate and stable immunosensor for rapid detection of Salmonella pullorum (S. pullorum) was proposed in this study. The immunosensor was fabricated by modifying Screen-printed Carbon Electrode (SPCE) with electrodeposited gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), HRP-labeled anti-S. pullorum and ionic liquids (ILs) (AuNP/HRP/IL). AuNPs are electrodeposited on the working electrode surface to increase the amount of antibodies that bind to the electrode and then modified with ILs to protect the antibodies from being inactivated in the test environment and maintain their biological activity and the stability of the detection electrode. The electrochemical characteristics of the stepwise modified electrodes and the detection of S. pullorum were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). As shown in the results of the experiments, AuNPs with unique electrochemical properties as well as biocompatibility characteristics have been proven to be able to strengthen the antibody combination effectively and to increase the electrochemical response signal. In addition, a crucial assessment regarding implementation of stability and reproducibility analysis of a range of immunosensors is provided. We found that application of AuNPs/ILs in the immune modified electrodes showed obvious improvement when compared with other groups. Given their high levels of reproducibility, stability, target specificity and sensitivity, AuNPs and ILs were considered to be excellent elements for electrode modification.

Abstract
The incidence of bladder cancer (BC) continues to rise with high recurrence and mortality rate, especially in the past three decades. The development of accurate and successful BC treatment relies mainly on early diagnosis. BC is a heterogeneous disease reflected by the presence of many potential biomarkers associated with different disease phenotypes. Nowadays, cystoscopy and urinary cytology are considered the gold standard diagnostic tools for BC. There are many limitations to cystoscopy including being invasive, labor-intensive and carcinoma in situ of the bladder may easily be missed. Urinary cytology is still a noninvasive technique with high accuracy in high-grade BC with a median sensitivity of 35%. Furthermore, the need for a sensitive, specific, non invasive, easily accessible BC biomarker is a major clinical need. The field of urinary BC biomarkers discovery is still a rapidly evolving discipline in which more recent technologies are evaluated and often optimized if they are not clinically significant to the urologists. Most of the current strategies for BC urinary biomarker detection depend on integration of information gleaned from the fields of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenetics, metabolomics and bionanotechnology. Effort is currently being made to identify the most potentially beneficial urinary biomarkers. The purpose of this review is to summarize and explore the efficacy of gathering the information revealed from the cooperation of different omic strategies that paves the way towards various urinary markers discovery for screening, diagnosis and prognosis of human BC.
