Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1312:342746. [PMID: 38834274 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342746] [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: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The widespread use and abuse of antibiotics has resulted in the pollution of water sources with antibiotic residues, posing a threat to human health, the environment, and the economy. Therefore, a highly sensitive and selective method is required for their detection in water samples. Herein, advanced ultrasensitive electrochemical sensor platform was developed by integrating gold-silver alloy nanocoral clusters (Au-Ag-ANCCs) with functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube-carbon paste electrode (f-MWCNT-CPE) and choline chloride (ChCl) nanocomposites for simultaneously determining the residues of antimicrobial drugs, rifampicin (RAMP) and norfloxacin (NFX), in water samples. RESULTS The developed sensor (Au-Ag-ANCCs/f-MWCNTs-CPE/ChCl) was extensively characterized using several analytical (UV-Vis, FT-IR, XRD, SEM, and EDX) and electrochemical (EIS, CV, and SWV) techniques. It exhibited outstanding performance in a wide linear range, from 14 pM to 115 μM for RAMP, and from 0.9 nM to 200 μM for NFX, with a limit of detection (LOD, 3σ/m, S/N = 3, n = 5) and a limit of quantification (LOQ, 10σ/m, S/N = 3, n = 5) values of 2.7 pM and 8.85 pM for RAMP, and 0.14 nM and 0.47 nM for NFX, respectively. The sensor also exhibited exceptional reproducibility, stability, and resistance to interference. SIGNIFICANCE The developed sensor was effectively utilized to determine RAMP and NFX residues in hospital wastewater, river, and tap water samples, yielding recoveries within the range of 96.8-103 % and relative standard deviations below 5 %. Generally, the proposed sensor demonstrated remarkable performance in detecting the target analytes, making it an ideal tool and the first of its kind for addressing global antibiotic residue pollutants in water sources.

[PMID: 38802574 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-024-06421-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 05/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
The synthesis of three-dimensional silver nanopopcorns (Ag NPCs) onto a flexible polycarbonate membrane (PCM) for the detection of nitrofurazone (NFZ) on the fish surface by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is presented. The proposed flexible Ag-NPCs/PCM SERS substrate exhibits significant Raman signal intensity enhancement with the measured enhancement factor of 2.36 × 106. This is primarily attributed to the hotspots created on Ag NPCs, including numerous nanoscale protrusions and internal crevices distributed across the surface of Ag NPCs. The detection of NFZ by this flexible SERS substrate demonstrates a low limit of detection (LOD) of 3.7 × 10-9 M and uniform and reproducible Raman signal intensities with a relative standard deviation below 8.34%. It also exhibits excellent stability, retaining 70% of its efficacy even after 10 days of storage. Notably, the practical detection of NFZ in tap water, honey water, and fish surfaces achieves LOD values of 1.35 × 10-8 M, 5.76 × 10-7 M, and 3.61 × 10-8 M, respectively, which highlights its effectiveness across different sample types. The developed Ag-NPCs/PCM SERS substrate presents promising potential for sensitive SERS detection of toxic substances in real-world samples.

Abstract
This review critically examines the progress and challenges in the field of nanostructured tungsten oxide (WO3) gas sensors. It delves into the significant advancements achieved through nanostructuring and composite formation of WO3, which have markedly improved sensor sensitivity for gases like NO2, NH3, and VOCs, achieving detection limits in the ppb range. The review systematically explores various innovative approaches, such as doping WO3 with transition metals, creating heterojunctions with materials like CuO and graphene, and employing machine learning models to optimize sensor configurations. The challenges facing WO3 sensors are also thoroughly examined. Key issues include cross-sensitivity to different gases, particularly at higher temperatures, and long-term stability affected by factors like grain growth and volatility of dopants. The review assesses potential solutions to these challenges, including statistical analysis of sensor arrays, surface functionalization, and the use of novel nanostructures for enhanced performance and selectivity. In addition, the review discusses the impact of ambient humidity on sensor performance and the current strategies to mitigate it, such as composite materials with humidity shielding effects and surface functionalization with hydrophobic groups. The need for high operating temperatures, leading to higher power consumption, is also addressed, along with possible solutions like the use of advanced materials and new transduction principles to lower temperature requirements. The review concludes by highlighting the necessity for a multidisciplinary approach in future research. This approach should combine materials synthesis, device engineering, and data science to develop the next generation of WO3 sensors with enhanced sensitivity, ultrafast response rates, and improved portability. The integration of machine learning and IoT connectivity is posited as a key driver for new applications in areas like personal exposure monitoring, wearable diagnostics, and smart city networks, underlining WO3's potential as a robust gas sensing material in future technological advancements.

Abstract
The ultimate objective of this research work is to design a sensitive and selective electrochemical sensor for the efficient detection of ascorbic acid (AA), a vital antioxidant found in blood serum that may serve as a biomarker for oxidative stress. To achieve this, we utilized a novel Yb2O3.CuO@rGO nanocomposite (NC) as the active material to modify the glassy carbon working electrode (GCE). The structural properties and morphological characteristics of the Yb2O3.CuO@rGO NC were investigated using various techniques to ensure their suitability for the sensor. The resulting sensor electrode was able to detect a broad range of AA concentrations (0.5-1571 µM) in neutral phosphate buffer solution, with a high sensitivity of 0.4341 µAµM-1cm-2 and a reasonable detection limit of 0.062 µM. The sensor's great sensitivity and selectivity allowed it to accurately determine the levels of AA in human blood serum and commercial vitamin C tablets. It demonstrated high levels of reproducibility, repeatability, and stability, making it a reliable and robust sensor for the measurement of AA at low overpotential. Overall, the Yb2O3.CuO@rGO/GCE sensor showed great potential in detecting AA from real samples.

Abstract
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) with their carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects can cause great damage to the ecosystem and public health when present in water. With bioremediation, PAH contamination in water environment can be greatly reduced in an eco-friendly manner. It has thus become the research focus for many environmental scientists. In this study, a bibliometric analysis on three-decade (1990-2022) development of PAH bioremediation in water environment was conducted from temporal and spatial dimensions using CiteSpace. A total of 2480 publications, obtained from Web of Science core collection database, were used to explore the basic characteristics, hotspots, and prospects of the research area. The results showed that (1) bioremediation/biodegradation of PAHs in water environment has been getting researchers' attention since 1990, and is gaining even more traction as time goes on. (2) In terms of countries, China and the USA were the major contributors in this research area, while at the institutional level, the Chinese Academy of Sciences has produced the most research results. However, international cooperation across regions was lacking in the field. (3) Environment Science and Technology, Chemosphere, Applied and Environment Microbiology, Journal of Hazardous Materials, and Environment Pollution were the 5 most cited journals in this field. (4) There were three major stages the field has gone through, each with distinct research hotspots, including initial stage (1990-1994), mechanism investigation (1995-2000), and application exploration (2001-2010; 2011-2022). Finally, research perspectives were proposed, covering three directions, namely, bioavailability, immobilization, and viable but nonculturable (VBNC) bacteria.

Abstract
Antibiotic residues in aquatic environments pose a potential hazard, and microbes, which play important roles in aquatic ecosystems, are vulnerable to the impacts of antibiotics. This study aimed to analyze the research progress, trends, and hot topics of the impact of antibiotics on microbial community and biodegradation mechanism using bibliometric analysis. An in-depth analysis of the publication characteristics of 6143 articles published between 1990 and 2021 revealed that the number of articles published increased exponentially. The research sites have been mainly concentrated in the Yamuna River, Pearl River, Lake Taihu, Lake Michigan, Danjiangkou Reservoir, etc., illustrating that research around the world is not even. Antibiotics could change the diversity, structure, and ecological functions of bacterial communities, stimulate a widespread abundance of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and antibiotic-resistant genes, and increase the diversity of eukaryotes, thus triggering the shift of food web structure to predatory and pathogenic. Latent Dirichlet allocation theme model analysis showed three clusters, and the research hotspots mainly included the effect of antibiotics on the denitrification process, microplastics combined with antibiotics, and methods for removing antibiotics. Furthermore, the mechanisms of microbe-mediated antibiotic degradation were unraveled, and importantly, we provided bottlenecks and future research perspectives on antibiotics and microbial diversity research.

Wang Y, Yang H, He W, Sun P, Zhao W, Liu M. Exploring the Potential Hormonal Effects of Tire Polymers (TPs) on Different Species Based on a Theoretical Computational Approach. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15071719. [PMID: 37050333 PMCID: PMC10097371 DOI: 10.3390/polym15071719] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2023] [Revised: 03/24/2023] [Accepted: 03/29/2023] [Indexed: 04/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Tire polymers (TPs) are the most prevalent type of microplastics and are of great concern due to their potential environmental risks. This study aims to determine the toxicity of TPs with the help of molecular-dynamics simulations of their interactions with receptors and to highlight the differences in the toxicity characteristics of TPs in different environmental media (marine environment, freshwater environment, soil environment). For this purpose, five TPs—natural rubber, styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR), butadiene rubber, nitrile–butadiene rubber, and isobutylene–isoprene rubber—were analyzed. Molecular-dynamics calculations were conducted on their binding energies to neurotoxic, developmental, and reproductive receptors of various organisms to characterize the toxic effects of the five TPs. The organisms included freshwater species (freshwater nematodes, snails, shrimp, and freshwater fish), marine species (marine nematodes, mussels, crab, and marine fish), and soil species (soil nematodes, springtails, earthworms, and spiders). A multilevel empowerment method was used to determine the bio-toxicity of the TPs in various environmental media. A coupled-normalization method–principal-component analysis–factor-analysis weighting method—was used to calculate the weights of the TP toxicity (first level) categories. The results revealed that the TPs were the most biologically neurotoxic to three environmental media (20.79% and 10.57% higher compared with developmental and reproductive toxicity, respectively). Regarding the effects of TPs on organisms in various environmental media (second level), using a subjective empowerment approach, a gradual increase in toxicity was observed with increasing trophic levels due to the enrichment of TPs and the feeding behavior of organisms. TPs had the greatest influence in the freshwater-environment organisms according to the subjective empowerment approach employed to weight the three environmental media (third level). Therefore, using the minimum-value method coupled with the feature-aggregation method, the interval-deflation method coupled with the entropy-weighting method, and the standard-deviation normalization method, the three toxicity characteristics of SBR in three environmental media and four organisms were determined. SBR was found to have the greatest impact on the overall toxicity of the freshwater environment (12.38% and 9.33% higher than the marine and soil environments, respectively). The greatest contribution to neurotoxicity (26.01% and 15.95% higher than developmental and reproductive toxicity, respectively) and the greatest impact on snails and shrimp among organisms in the freshwater environment were observed. The causes of the heterogeneity of SBR’s toxicity were elucidated using amino-acid-residue analysis. SBR primarily interacted with toxic receptors through van der Waals, hydrophobic, π-π, and π-sigma interactions, and the more stable the binding, the more toxic the effect. The toxicity characteristics of TMPs to various organisms in different environments identified in this paper provide a theoretical basis for subsequent studies on the prevention and control of TMPs in the environment.

Abstract
Tetracycline is a broad-spectrum class of antibiotics. The use of excessive doses of tetracycline antibiotics can result in their residues in food, posing varying degrees of risk to human health. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid and sensitive field detection method for tetracycline residues is of great practical importance to improve the safety of food-derived animal foods. Electrochemical analysis techniques are widely used in the field of pollutant detection because of the simple detection principle, easy operation of the instrument, and low cost of analysis. In this review, we summarize the electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics by bibliometrics. Unlike the previously published reviews, this article reviews and analyzes the development of this topic. The contributions of different countries and different institutions were analyzed. Keyword analysis was used to explain the development of different research directions. The results of the analysis revealed that developments and innovations in materials science can enhance the performance of electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics. Among them, gold nanoparticles and carbon nanotubes are the most used nanomaterials. Aptamer sensing strategies are the most favored methodologies in electrochemical detection of tetracycline antibiotics.

Abstract
European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (EJMC) has been around for a long time and has gained broad interest from the various individuals working in the field. However, there is no bibliometric analysis on the publications of EJMC to thoroughly assess the scientific output and current status systematically. Therefore, the study was conducted to analyze the various publications of EJMC from 1987 to 2022 to improve their quality. A total of 13,386 papers were retrieved, with the number of publications increasing yearly. Based on the multiple indicators of bibliometrics, the highest impact countries, institutions, authors and representative literature were identified, and visualization networks were constructed using VOSviewer. Keyword co-occurrence analysis reveals a gradual shift from phenotypic drug discovery to target-based drug discovery in the EJMC theme change. Moreover, further discussion of the keyword clustering results is provided to support researchers in defining the scope of their research topics and planning their research directions. At this stage, there is a greater focus on developing antitumor and oxidative stress-related drugs than on the earlier anti-infective activities. In future studies, the main research directions are tumor multidrug resistance, oxidative stress, and dual inhibitors.

Abstract
Since graphene possesses distinct electrical and material properties that could improve material performance, there is currently a growing demand for graphene-based electronics and applications. Numerous potential applications for graphene include lightweight and high-strength polymeric composite materials. Due to its structural qualities, which include low thickness and compact 2D dimensions, it has also been recognized as a promising nanomaterial for water-barrier applications. For barrier polymer applications, it is usually applied using two main strategies. The first is the application of graphene, graphene oxide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) to polymeric substrates through transfer or coating. In the second method, fully exfoliated GO or rGO is integrated into the material. This study provides an overview of the most recent findings from research on the use of graphene in the context of water-barrier applications. The advantages and current limits of graphene-based composites are compared with those of other nanomaterials utilized for barrier purposes in order to emphasize difficult challenges for future study and prospective applications.

Abstract
Contamination of antibiotics in water is a major cause of antibiotic resistance (ABR) in pathogens that endangers human health and food security worldwide. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) is a synthetic fluoroquinolone (FQ) antibiotic and is reportedly present in surface water at a concentration exceeding the ecotoxicological predicted no-effect concentration in some areas. This study fabricated a CIP sensor using an electropolymerized molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) of polyaniline (PANI) and poly(o-phenylenediamine) (o-PDA) with CIP recognition sites. The MIP was coated on a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-modified glassy carbon electrode (rGO/GCE) and operated under a differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) mode for CIP detection. The sensor exhibited an excellent response from 1.0 × 10-9 to 5.0 × 10-7 mol L-1 CIP, showing a sensor detection limit and sensitivity of 5.28 × 10-11 mol L-1 and 5.78 μA mol-1 L, respectively. The sensor's sensitivity for CIP was 1.5 times higher than that of the other tested antibiotics, including enrofloxacin (ENR), ofloxacin (OFX), sulfamethoxazole (SMZ), and piperacillin sodium salt (PIP). The reproducibility and reusability of the sensor devices were also studied.

Abstract
This review summarizes the literature data reported from 2000 up to the present on the development of various electrochemical (voltammetric, amperometric, potentiometric and photoelectrochemical), optical (UV-Vis and IR) and luminescence (chemiluminescence and fluorescence) methods and the corresponding sensors for rifamycin antibiotics analysis. The discussion is focused mainly on the foremost compound of this class of macrocyclic drugs, namely rifampicin (RIF), which is a first-line antituberculosis agent derived from rifampicin SV (RSV). RIF and RSV also have excellent therapeutic action in the treatment of other bacterial infectious diseases. Due to the side-effects (e.g., prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria, hepatotoxicity) of long-term RIF intake, drug monitoring in patients is of real importance in establishing the optimum RIF dose, and therefore, reliable, rapid and simple methods of analysis are required. Based on the studies published on this topic in the last two decades, the sensing principles, some examples of sensors preparation procedures, as well as the performance characteristics (linear range, limits of detection and quantification) of analytical methods for RIF determination, are compared and correlated, critically emphasizing their benefits and limitations. Examples of spectrometric and electrochemical investigations of RIF interaction with biologically important molecules are also presented.

Abstract
Excessive use of antibiotics in aquaculture severely endangers human health and ecosystems, which has raised significant concerns in recent years. However, conventional laboratory-based approaches regularly required time or skilled manpower. Herein, we propose a point-of-care-testing (POCT) biosensor detection device for the simultaneous determination of multiantibiotics without complex equipment or professional operators. A laser-printed paper-based microfluidic chip loaded with multicolor fluorescence nanoprobes (mCD-μPAD) was developed to rapidly detect sulfamethazine (SMZ), oxytetracycline (OTC), and chloramphenicol (CAP) on-site. These "fluorescence off" detection probes composed of carbon dots (CDs) conjugated with aptamers (donor) and MoS2 nanosheets (acceptor) (CD-apt-MoS2) were based on Förster resonance energy transfer. Upon the addition of target antibiotics, the significantly recovered fluorescence signal on the μPAD can be sensitively perceived by employing a 3D-printed portable detection box through a smartphone. Under optimal conditions, this μPAD allowed for a rapid response of 15 min toward SMZ, OTC, and CAP with considerable sensitivities of 0.47, 0.48, and 0.34 ng/mL, respectively. In shrimp samples, the recoveries were 95.2-101.2, 96.4-105, and 96.7-106.1% with RSD below 6%. This paper-based sensor opens an avenue for on-site, high-throughput, and rapid detection methods and can be widely used in POCT in food safety.

Abstract
This article discusses the unique properties and performance of carbon-based molecularly-imprinted polymers (MIPs) for detecting hazardous pollutants in aqueous solutions. Although MIPs have several advantages such as specific recognition sites, selectivity, and stability, they suffer from a series of drawbacks, including loss of conductivity, electrocatalytic activity, and cost, which limit their use in various fields. Carbon-based MIPs, which utilize carbon electrodes, carbon nanoparticles, carbon dots, carbon nanotubes, and graphene substrates, have been the focus of research in recent years to enhance their properties and remove their weaknesses as much as possible. These carbon-based nanomaterials have excellent sensitivity and specificity for molecular identification. As a result, they have been widely used in various applications, such as assessing the environmental, biological, and food samples. This article examines the growth of carbon-based MIPs and their environmental applications.

[PMID: 36351935 PMCID: PMC9646737 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-21619-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/25/2022] [Accepted: 09/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Nowadays, nanomaterials are increasingly being used as drug carriers in the treatment of different types of cancers. As a result, these applications make them attractive to researchers dealing with diagnosis and biomarkers discovery of the disease. In this study, the adsorption behavior of gemcitabine (GMC) on graphene nanosheet (GNS), in the presence and absence of Poly (L-histidine) (PLH) polymer is discussed using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The MD results revealed an increase in the efficiency and targeting of the drug when the polymer is covalently attached to the graphene substrate. In addition, the metadynamics simulation to investigate the effects of PLH on the adsorption capacity of the GNS, and explore the adsorption/desorption process of GMC on pristine and PLH- grafted GNS is performed. The metadynamics calculations showed that the amount of free energy of the drug in acidic conditions is higher (- 281.26 kJ/mol) than the free energy in neutral conditions (- 346.24 kJ/mol). Consequently, the PLH polymer may not only help drug adsorption but can also help in drug desorption in lower pH environments. Based on these findings, it can be said that covalent polymer bonding not only can help in the formation of a targeted drug delivery system but also can increase the adsorption capacity of the substrate.

Abstract
Graphdiyne is a two-dimensional carbon nanomaterial synthesized artificially in 2010. Its outstanding performance is considered to have great potential in different fields. This article summarizes the work of graphdiyne in the sensing field by literature summary and bibliometrics analysis. The development of graphdiyne in the field of sensing has gone through a process from theoretical calculation to experimental verification. Especially in the last three years, there has been very rapid development. The theoretical calculations suggest that graphdiyne is an excellent gas sensing material, but there is little experimental evidence in this direction. On the contrary, graphdiyne has been widely reported in the field of electrochemical sensing. At the same time, graphdiyne can also be used as a molecular switch for DNA sequencing. Fluorescent sensors based on graphdiyne have also been reported. In general, the potential of graphdiyne in sensing still needs to be explored. Current research results do not show that graphdiyne has irreplaceable advantages in sensing. The bibliometric analysis used in this review also provides cooperative network analysis and co-citation analysis on this topic. This provides a reference for the audience wishing to undertake research on the topic. In addition, according to the analysis, we also listed the direction that which this field deserves attention in the future.

Abstract
Acetaminophen is a widely used analgesic throughout the world. Detection of acetaminophen has particular value in pharmacy and clinics. Electrochemical sensors assembled with advanced materials are an effective method for the rapid detection of acetaminophen. Graphene-based carbon nanomaterials have been extensively investigated for potential analytical applications in the last decade. In this article, we selected papers containing both graphene and acetaminophen. Bibliometrics was used to analyze the relationships and trends among these papers. The results show that the topic has grown at a high rate since 2009. Among them, the detection of acetaminophen by an electrochemical sensor based on graphene is the most important direction. Graphene has moved from being a primary sensing material to a substrate for immobilization of other active ingredients. In addition, the degradation of acetaminophen using graphene-modified electrodes is also an important direction. We analyzed the research history and current status of this topic through bibliometrics. Authors, institutions, countries, and key literature were discussed. We also proposed perspectives for this topic.

Abstract
Microplastics have been considered a new type of pollutant in the marine environment and have attracted widespread attention worldwide in recent years. Plastic particles with particle size less than 5 mm are usually defined as microplastics. Because of their similar size to plankton, marine organisms easily ingest microplastics and can threaten higher organisms and even human health through the food chain. Most of the current studies have focused on the investigation of the abundance of microplastics in the environment. However, due to the limitations of analytical methods and instruments, the number of microplastics in the environment can easily lead to overestimation or underestimation. Microplastics in each environment have different detection techniques. To investigate the current status, hot spots, and research trends of microplastics detection techniques, this review analyzed the papers related to microplastics detection using bibliometric software CiteSpace and COOC. A total of 696 articles were analyzed, spanning 2012 to 2021. The contributions and cooperation of different countries and institutions in this field have been analyzed in detail. This topic has formed two main important networks of cooperation. International cooperation has been a common pattern in this topic. The various analytical methods of this topic were discussed through keyword and clustering analysis. Among them, fluorescent, FTIR and micro-Raman spectroscopy are commonly used optical techniques for the detection of microplastics. The identification of microplastics can also be achieved by the combination of other techniques such as mass spectrometry/thermal cracking gas chromatography. However, these techniques still have limitations and cannot be applied to all environmental samples. We provide a detailed analysis of the detection of microplastics in different environmental samples and list the challenges that need to be addressed in the future.

Abstract
Olfactory dysfunction (OD) accompanied by depression or anxiety is a very common clinical problem, and there has been a growing number of studies on OD with depression or anxiety in recent decades. This study performed bibliometric and visual analyses of the literature on OD with depression or anxiety to derive research trends and identify emerging research foci. Relevant publications were obtained from the Science Citation Index-Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index in the Web of Science Core Collection databases (2002–2021). CiteSpace and VOSviewer were applied to identify and evaluate research foci and emerging trends in this research domain. The analyses found that the number of publications related to OD with depression or anxiety has increased significantly over the past 20 years, up from 15 in 2002 to 114 in 2022. The country that ranked highest in the number of articles and international cooperation was the United States. The top 10 most frequent keywords were “depression,” “olfaction,” “anxiety,” “dysfunction,” “olfactory bulbectomy,” “olfactory dysfunction,” “Parkinson’s disease,” “odor identification,” “brain,” and “disorders.” Analysis of keywords with the strongest citation bursts revealed that “oxidative stress” is an emerging research hotspot. A timeline chart of the cluster of co-cited references demonstrated that Parkinson’s disease was always a topic of interest in this area of research. This study conducted an objective, comprehensive, and systematic analysis of these publications, and identified the development of trends and hotspots in this research domain. It is hoped that this work will provide scholars, worldwide, with information to assist them in further research and the development of new therapies.

Abstract
Flame-retardant science and technology are sciences developed to prevent the occurrence of fire, meet the needs of social safety production, and protect people's lives and property. Rigid polyurethane (PU) is a polymer formed by the additional polymerization reaction of a molecule with two or more isocyanate functional groups with a polyol containing two or more reactive hydroxyl groups under a suitable catalyst and in an appropriate ratio. Rigid polyurethane foam (RPUF) is a foam-like material with a large contact area with oxygen when burning, resulting in rapid combustion. At the same time, RPUF produces a lot of toxic gases when burning and endangers human health. Improving the flame-retardant properties of RPUF is an important theme in flame-retardant science and technology. This review discusses the development of flame-retardant RPUF through the lens of bibliometrics. A total of 194 articles are analyzed, spanning from 1963 to 2021. We describe the development and focus of this theme at different stages. The various directions of this theme are discussed through keyword co-occurrence and clustering analysis. Finally, we provide reasonable perspectives about the future research direction of this theme based on the bibliometric results.

Abstract
Antibiotics are antibacterial agents applied in human and veterinary medicine. They are also employed to stimulate the growth of food-producing animals. Despite their benefits, the uncontrolled use of antibiotics results in serious problems, and therefore their concentration levels in different foods as well as in environmental samples were regulated. As a consequence, there is an increasing demand for the development of sensitive and selective analytical tools for antibiotic reliable and rapid detection. These requirements are accomplished by the combination of simple, cost-effective and affordable electroanalytical methods with molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) with high recognition specificity, based on their “lock and key” working principle, used to modify the electrode surface, which is the “heart” of any electrochemical device. This review presents a comprehensive overview of MIP-modified carbon-based electrodes developed in recent years for antibiotic detection. The MIP preparation and electrode modification procedures, along with the performance characteristics of sensors and analytical methods, as well as the applications for the antibiotics’ quantification from different matrices (pharmaceutical, biological, food and environmental samples), are discussed. The information provided by this review can inspire researchers to go deeper into the field of MIP-modified sensors and to develop efficient means for reliable antibiotic determination.

Abstract
Tumor markers are one of the important indicators for early cancer diagnosis. As a new analytical method, electrochemical immunosensing analysis has the advantages of high sensitivity, good selectivity, and rapid detection, which is of great significance for the detection of tumor markers. In this work, an AuNP/reduced graphene oxide (AuNP/rGO) composite was synthesized. We used it for electrochemical sensor fabrication with the assistance of the biotin–streptavidin protein (SA) system to further amplify the signal to achieve sensitive detection of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA). In addition, AuNPs have been incorporated due to their good electrical conductivity and biocompatibility, which can accelerate electron transfer at the electrode interface and improve the loading capacity to capture antibodies. The fabricated AuNPs/SA/rGO has a large working surface area and high material utilization ratio, which improves the catalytic capacity of H2O2 reduction and effectively amplifies the current signal. The linear range of the response current signal of the sensor toward the CEA concentration is 20 fg/ml to 200 ng/ml, and the limit of detection can achieve 6.2 fg/ml. In addition, the fabricated immunosensor has good reproducibility, selectivity, and stability.

Abstract
The imbalance of oxidation and antioxidant systems in the biological system can lead to oxidative stress, which is closely related to the pathogenesis of many diseases. Substances with antioxidant capacity can effectively resist the harmful damage of oxidative stress. How to measure the antioxidant capacity of antioxidants has essential application value in medicine and food. Techniques such as DPPH radical scavenging have been developed to measure antioxidant capacity. However, these traditional analytical techniques take time and require large instruments. It is a more convenient method to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of antioxidants based on their electrochemical oxidation and reduction behaviors. This review summarizes the evaluation of antioxidants using electrochemical sensors by bibliometrics. The development of this topic was described, and the research priorities at different stages were discussed. The topic was investigated in 1999 and became popular after 2010 and has remained popular ever since. A total of 758 papers were published during this period. In the early stages, electrochemical techniques were used only as quantitative techniques and other analytical techniques. Subsequently, cyclic voltammetry was used to directly study the electrochemical behavior of different antioxidants and evaluate antioxidant capacity. With methodological innovations and assistance from materials science, advanced electrochemical sensors have been fabricated to serve this purpose. In this review, we also cluster the keywords to analyze different investigation directions under the topic. Through co-citation of papers, important papers were analyzed as were how they have influenced the topic. In addition, the author’s country distribution and category distribution were also interpreted in detail. In the end, we also proposed perspectives for the future development of this topic.

Abstract
The global pandemic of COVID-19, which began in late 2019, has resulted in extremely high morbidity and severe mortality worldwide, with important implications for human health, international trade, and national politics. Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is the primary pathogen causing COVID-19. Analytical chemistry played an important role in this global epidemic event, and detection of SARS-CoV-2 even became a part of daily life. Analytical chemists have devoted much effort and enthusiasm to this event, and different analytical techniques have shown very rapid development. Electrochemical biosensors are highly efficient, sensitive, and cost-effective and have been used to detect many highly pathogenic viruses long before this event. However, another fact is that electrochemical biosensors are not the technology of choice for most detection applications. This review describes for the first time the role played by electrochemical biosensors in SARS-CoV-2 detection from a bibliometric perspective. This paper analyzed 254 relevant research papers up to June 2022. The contributions of different countries and institutions to this topic were analyzed. Keyword analysis was used to explore different methodological attempts of electrochemical detection techniques. More importantly, we are trying to find an answer to the question: do electrochemical biosensors have the potential to become a genuinely employable detection technology in an outbreak of infectious disease? This review describes for the first time the role played by electrochemical biosensors in SARS-CoV-2 detection from a bibliometric perspective.![]()

Yu M, Liu M, Li Y. Point-of-Care Based Electrochemical Immunoassay for Epstein-Barr Virus Detection. JOURNAL OF ANALYTICAL METHODS IN CHEMISTRY 2022; 2022:5711384. [PMID: 35677726 PMCID: PMC9170392 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5711384] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/13/2022] [Revised: 05/03/2022] [Accepted: 05/12/2022] [Indexed: 05/10/2023]
Abstract
This work describes a label-free electrochemical immunosensor for the sensing of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) with high sensitivity. First, a monolayer of 1,6-hexanedithiol (HDT) was fabricated on the screen-printed electrode surface by the interaction between sulfur atoms and SPE. AuNPs can be modified on the electrode by the Au-S bond formed between the HDT-free group and Au atom in AuNPs. Protein A is then adsorbed onto AuNPs. Several parameters were optimized. The optimum concentration of protein A is 0.6 mg/mL. The optimum immobilization time for protein A is 90 min. The optimum concentration of antibody is 80 μg/mL. The optimum immobilization time for antibody is 90 min. Directional immobilization of EBV antibody is achieved by high affinity binding of protein A to the Fc segment of antibody. When antigen specifically binds to antibody, the formation of immune complexes blocks electron transfer of [Fe(CN)6]4-/3- and is reflected in the detection of cyclic voltammetry/electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The detection range is 1 pg/mL-l00 ng/mL with a LOD of 0.1 pg/mL. In addition, the proposed sensor exhibited an excellent antiinterference property.
