Abstract
Inflammation is the most common disease in humans. Alcohol has been part of human culture throughout history. To avoid alcohol prompting inflammation to develop into a more serious disease, it is important for human health to explore the effects of alcohol on the development of inflammation.Endogenous sulfur dioxide (SO2) is considered an important regulator of the development of inflammation and is involved in the entire development process of inflammation. Taken together, it is of great significance to explore the impact of alcohol on the development process of inflammation through changes in SO2 concentration in the inflammatory microenvironment. Herein, we report the development of a molecular tool (Nu-SO2) with rapid (5 s) response to the important inflammatory modulator sulfur dioxide (SO2) for the diagnosis of inflammation, assessment of therapeutic effects, and evaluation of the development process of alcohol-induced inflammation. The rationality of Nu-SO2 was confirmed through molecular docking calculations, density functional theory (DFT) theoretical calculations, DNA/RNA titration experiments and co-localization experiments. Furthermore, Nu-SO2 was effectively applied for specific response and highly sensitive visualization imaging of SO2 in solution, cells and mice. Importantly, Nu-SO2 was successfully used to diagnose lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in cells and mice and evaluate the efficacy of dexamethasone in treating inflammation. More significantly, based on the excellent performance of Nu-SO2 in dynamically reporting the further development of inflammation in mice triggered by alcohol, we successfully elucidated the "anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory" trend in the development of inflammation caused by alcohol stimulation. Thus, this work not only advances the research on the relationship between alcohol, inflammation and SO2, but also provides a new non-invasive assessment method for the development mechanism of inflammation induced by external stimuli and the precise diagnosis and treatment of drug efficacy evaluation.

Abstract
As an important endogenous gasotransmitter, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) plays a critical role in various physiological functions and has been regarded as a biomarker of cancer due to its overexpression in cancer cells. In addition, the early stages of cancer are often accompanied by abnormalities in the intracellular microenvironments, and distinguishing between cancer cell/tissues and normal cell/tissues is of great significance to the accuracy of cancer diagnosis. However, deep insights into the simultaneous detection of H2S and viscosity/polarity variations in cancer cells/tissues are rarely reported. In this work, we designed and synthesized a mitochondria-targeting fluorescent probe PDQHS, which exhibits high selectivity for H2S with an emission peak around 632 nm and excellent response (17-fold) to viscosity/polarity beyond 706 nm. Meanwhile, PDQHS shows good biocompatibility and can specifically accumulate into mitochondria. Using PDQHS, the visual distinguishing of cancer cells from normal cells was achieved via dual-channel detection of H2S and viscosity/polarity. More importantly, PDQHS has been successfully applied to visualize endogenous and exogenous H2S in living cells and tumor tissue. Obviously, compared to the detection of a single biomarker, monitoring multiple biomarkers simultaneously through dual-channel response is conducive to amplifying the detection signal, providing a more sensitive and reliable imaging tool in the tumor region, which is beneficial for cancer prediction.

Abstract
Sepsis is a serious systemic inflammatory disease that frequently results in death. Early diagnosis and timely targeted interventions could improve the therapeutic effect. Recent work has revealed that the reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and hypoxia-induced endothelial injury play significant roles in sepsis. However, the relationship between the levels of peroxynitrite (ONOO-) and hypoxia-induced endothelial injury as well as different states of sepsis remain unexplored. Herein, we developed a unique two-photon fluorescent probe (ER-ONOO-) for detecting ONOO- in aqueous solution that has high sensitivity, high selectivity, and ultrafast response time. In addition, ER-ONOO- was successfully used to evaluate the levels of ONOO- at the ER with three kinds of methods in a hypoxia-induced endothelial injury model. Furthermore, ER-ONOO- is capable of monitoring the changes in organ fluorescence through ONOO- variation in different stages of a cecum ligation and puncture (CLP) mouse model. Moreover, we also confirmed that the endoplasmic reticulum stress and oxidative stress participated in the CLP model. Consequently, this research can provide a reliable tool for studying ONOO- fluctuation in sepsis and provide new insights into the pathogenic and therapeutic mechanisms involved.
