Abstract
To address the relatively low sensitivity of current redox reagent-mediated magnetic relaxation sensing methods, we present a novel Ag+-mediated magnetic sensing platform that enhances the sensitivity by three orders of magnitude. The new sensing platform is based on Ag+-catalyzed oxidation of Mn2+ to KMnO4, accompanied by a distinct color change, which facilitates colorimetric detection. In the case of insufficient Ag+ ions, MnO2 is an additional oxidation product and the KMnO4/MnO2 ratio is dependent on the concentration of Ag+. When combined with a specific quantity of reducing agent, both KMnO4 and MnO2 are reduced to Mn2+ with a large relaxivity, and the concentration of Mn2+ in the resultant solution inversely correlates with the amount of KMnO4 since KMnO4 consumes more reductant during reduction. Consequently, the transverse relaxation rate of the solution exhibits a negative correlation with the Ag+ concentration. Thus, by coupling this Ag+-mediated Mn2+ to KMnO4 transformation with reactions that modulate Ag+ concentration, a dual-mode sensing platform for magnetic relaxation and colorimetry can be realized. Herein, we take H2O2 as an example to verify the detection performance of this sensing platform since H2O2 can oxidize Ag0 in Ag@Fe3O4 nanoparticles to Ag+. Experimental findings demonstrate detection limits of 10 nM and 20 nM for the magnetic relaxation and colorimetry modes, respectively, affirming the excellent sensitivity and the potential practical application of this strategy.

Abstract
Persistent luminescent nanoparticles (PLNPs) are excellent luminescent materials, and near-infrared PLNPs are efficiently applied for biosensing and bioimaging due to their advantages of no excitation, excellent light stability and long afterglow. However, due to interference from the complex environment within organisms, single-mode imaging methods often face limitations in selectivity, sensitivity, and accuracy. Therefore, it is desirable to construct a dual-mode imaging probe strategy with higher specificity and sensitivity for bioimaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely used in the field of bioimaging due to its advantages of high resolution, non-radiation and non-invasiveness. Here, by combining near-infrared PLNPs and manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanosheets, a sensitive and convenient dual-mode "turn on" bioimaging nanoprobe ZGC@MnO2 has been developed for long afterglow imaging and MRI of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The monitoring of H2O2 has garnered significant attention due to its crucial role in human pathologies. For the dual-mode "turn on" bioimaging nanoprobe, the near-infrared PLNPs of quasi-spherical ZnGa2O4:Cr (ZGC) nanoparticles were synthesized as luminophores, and MnO2 nanosheets were utilized as a fluorescence quencher, carrier and H2O2 recognizer. H2O2 in the TME could reduce MnO2 nanosheets to Mn2+ for MRI, and ZGC nanoparticles were released for long afterglow imaging. Finally, the ZGC@MnO2 nanoprobe exhibited a rapid response, an excellent signal-to-noise ratio and a limit of detection of 3.67 nM for endogenous H2O2 in the TME. This dual-mode approach enhances the detection sensitivity for endogenous H2O2, thereby facilitating the research of endogenous H2O2-associated diseases and clinical diagnostics.

CHEMOSPHERE 2024; 362:142600. [PMID: 38871189 DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.142600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/28/2024] [Revised: 06/07/2024] [Accepted: 06/10/2024] [Indexed: 06/15/2024]
Abstract
Microwave (MW) remediation of organics-contaminated soil technology offers the advantages of high efficiency and minimal damage, representing a new approach of soil thermal remediation. However, soil, being a weak MW-absorbing medium, struggles to convert MW energy into thermal energy, thus failing to attain the necessary temperature for thermal remediation. This paper prepared two new bluecoke (BC)-based modifiers (KHCO3@BC and KHCO3/MnO2@BC) to address temperature problem of MW remediation, as well as enhance soil quality. Their composition, structure and electromagnetic properties were analyzed to investigate their role in assisting with the MW remediation of an artificially crude oil-contaminated soil were investigated. Additionally, the industrial feasibility of MW remediation was addressed for the first time. The results showed that the KHCO3 and MnO2 particles in the two modifiers were covered on the BC surface and exhibited local agglomeration. Their carbon crystalline grain size increased, and the electromagnetic properties were weaker than those of the BC. Following 10 min of MW remediation assisted by KBC or KMnBC, the remediation temperatures exceeded 300 °C, with the removal rates of PHs reaching 76.16% and 88.31%, respectively. The organic matter content, soil potassium and mechanical fraction of the remediated soil were improved, but soil acidification still needed to be further addressed. The industrial application analysis indicated that the technical process and techno-economics of MW remediation of crude oil-contaminated soil were feasible, suggesting significant potential for the large-scale industrial application.

Cisplatin-loaded mesoporous polydopamine nanoparticles capped with MnO 2 and coated with platelet membrane provide synergistic anti-tumor therapy. Int J Pharm 2024; 656:124093. [PMID: 38583822 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijpharm.2024.124093] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/16/2023] [Revised: 03/26/2024] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/09/2024]
Abstract
A multifunctional nanoplatform was constructed in this work, with the goal of ameliorating the challenges faced with traditional cancer chemotherapy. Cisplatin (CP) was loaded into mesoporous polydopamine (mPDA) nanoparticles (NPs) with a drug loading of 15.8 ± 0.1 %, and MnO2 used as pore sealing agent. Finally, the NPs were wrapped with platelet membrane (PLTM). P-selectin on the PLTM can bind to CD44, which is highly expressed on the tumor cell membrane, so as to improve the targeting performance of the NPs. In addition, the CD47 on the PLTM can prevent the NPs from being phagocytosed by macrophages, which is conducive to immune escape. The final PLTM-CP@mPDA/MnO2 NPs were found to have a particle size of approximately 198 nm. MnO2 is degraded into Mn2+ in the tumor microenvironment, leading to CP release from the pores in the mPDA. CP both acts as a chemotherapy agent and can also increase the concentration of H2O2 in cells. Mn2+ can catalyze the conversion of H2O2 to OH, resulting in oxidative damage and chemodynamic therapy. In addition, Mn2+ can be used as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to explore the therapeutic effect of the NPs. When the concentration of CP is 30 μg/mL, the NPs cause approximately 50 % cell death. It was found that the PLTM-CP@mPDA/MnO2 NPs are targeted to cancerous cells, and in the tumor site cause extensive apoptosis. Tumor growth is thereby repressed. No negative off-target side effects were noted. MRI could be used to confirm the presence of the NPs in the tumor site. Overall, the nano-platform developed here provides cooperative chemotherapy and chemodynamic therapy, and can potentially be used for effective cancer treatment which could be monitored by MRI.

Abstract
Despite the potential of nanozymes combined with sensor arrays for discriminating multiple pesticides simultaneously, they have few practical pesticide sensing uses due to the limited performance of existing nanozymes and the complexity of their preparation. Here, agricultural waste is utilized for the facile synthesis of high-performance biochar nanozymes and the fabrication of biochar nanozyme sensor arrays. The production of autogenous N-doped biochars with abundant surface functional groups and good peroxidase-like activities is achieved with different types of algae. High-performance biochar nanozyme sensor arrays can discriminate pesticides in a concentration range from 1 to 500 μM and in real samples from soil, lake water, seawater, apples, cucumbers, peaches, tomatoes and cabbages. Furthermore, pesticides can be quantified down to 1 μM. The development of high-performance nanozyme sensor arrays based on waste conversion could be a step toward pesticide discrimination and detection, which would improve human and environmental safety.

Abstract
Single-atom nanozymes (SAzymes) have been greatly developed for rapid detection, owing to their rich active sites and excellent catalytic activity. Although several excellent reviews concentrating on SAzymes have been reported, they mainly focused on advanced synthesis, sensing mechanisms, and biomedical applications. To date, few reviews elaborate on the promising applications of SAzymes in food safety inspection and food nutrition evaluation. In this paper, we systematically reviewed the enzyme-like activity of SAzymes and the catalytic mechanism, in addition to recent research advances of SAzymes in the domain of food safety inspection and food nutrition evaluation in the past few years. Furthermore, current challenges hampering practical applications of SAzymes in food assay are summarized and analyzed, and possible research areas focusing on SAzyme-based sensors in rapid food testing are also proposed.
