Abstract
The debate over enzyme methods versus nonenzyme methods in the field of nanosensing has lasted for decades despite hundreds of published studies on this topic. In this study, we first present a comparative analysis of these methods using a reaction based on the CaF2/MnO2 nanocomposite (CM Nc) with dual-enzyme activity, presenting oxidase- and peroxidase-like activities. Uric acid (UA) is a byproduct of purine metabolism in the body, and abnormal levels can cause many diseases; hence, tracking the amount of UA in human serum is crucial. The enzyme method was established using uricase and CM Nc: UA produced H2O2 when catalyzed by uricase; H2O2 was then catalyzed into reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the peroxidase activity of the CM Nc; this ROS oxidized 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), which was oxidized into blue oxidized TMB (oxTMB). The nonenzyme method was built on the scavenging effect of UA on the ROS, which prevented the catalytic capability of CM Nc toward TMB and induced blue oxTMB fading. The results of further tests revealed the good selectivity of the enzyme method compared to the fast response of the nonenzyme method. Additionally, both methods were effective in determining the UA concentration in human serum. The two separate methods can also independently verify each other, increasing the accuracy of the detection results in accordance with the relatively independent detection principles. This research provided theoretical backing for the practical design of multienzyme nanozyme catalysts, which can facilitate the precise detection of UA in biochemical products.

Gómez-Regalado MDC, Espín-Moreno L, Martín-Pozo L, Zafra-Gómez A. Analytical method for the determination of usually prescribed antibiotics in human nails using UHPLC-MS/MS. Comparison of the efficiency of two extraction techniques. Talanta 2023; 262:124687.

Abstract
Antibiotics are a group of drugs used for the treatment of bacterial diseases. They are used in both human and veterinary medicine and, although they are not permitted, they are sometimes used as growth promoters. The present research compares two extraction techniques: ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) in order to evaluate their efficiency in the determination of 17 usually prescribed antibiotics in human nails. The extraction parameters were optimized using multivariate techniques. Once both techniques were compared, MAE was selected as optimal due to its greater experimental practicability together with the better extraction efficiencies it provides. Target analytes were detected and quantified by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry detection (UHPLC-MS/MS). The run time was 20 min. The methodology was then successfully validated, obtaining acceptable analytical parameters according to the guide used. Limits of detection were between 0.3 and 3 ng g-1 and limits of quantification were in the range from 1.0 to 4.0 ng g-1. Recovery percentages ranged from 87.5% to 114.2%, and precision (in terms of standard deviation) was less than 15% in all cases. Finally, the optimized method was applied to nails taken from 10 volunteers and the results revealed the presence of one or more antibiotics in all the samples examined. The most commonly found antibiotic was sulfamethoxazole, followed by danofloxacin and levofloxacin. The results demonstrated, on the one hand, the presence of these compounds in the human body and, on the other hand, the suitability of nails as a non-invasive biomarker of exposure.

La(OH)3 Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotube/Carbon Paste-Based Sensing Approach for the Detection of Uric Acid—A Product of Environmentally Stressed Cells. BIOSENSORS 2022; 12:bios12090705.

Abstract
This paper aims to develop an amperometric, non-enzymatic sensor for detecting and quantifying UA as an alert signal induced by allergens with protease activity in human cell lines (HEK293 and HeLa). Uric acid (UA) has been classified as a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecule that serves a physiological purpose inside the cell, while outside the cell it can be an indicator of cell damage. Cell damage or stress can be caused by different health problems or by environmental irritants, such as allergens. We can act and prevent the events that generate stress by determining the extent to which cells are under stress. Amperometric calibration measurements were performed with a carbon paste electrode modified with La(OH)3@MWCNT, at the potential of 0.3 V. The calibration curve was constructed in a linear operating range from 0.67 μM to 121 μM UA. The proposed sensor displayed good reproducibility with an RSD of 3.65% calculated for five subsequent measurements, and a low detection limit of 64.28 nM, determined using the 3 S/m method. Interference studies and the real sample analysis of allergen-treated cell lines proved that the proposed sensing platform possesses excellent sensitivity, reproducibility, and stability. Therefore, it can potentially be used to evaluate stress factors in medical research and clinical practice.

A biosensor based on the biomimetic oxidase Fe 3O 4@MnO 2 for colorimetric determination of uric acid. Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2022; 212:112347.

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

Abstract
The purpose of this work is to propose a simple, portable, and sensitive biosensor structure based on singlemode fiber-multicore fiber-multimode fiber-singlemode fiber (SMF-MCF-MMF-SMF) for the detection of creatinine in the human body. Chemical etching has been used to modify the diameter of the sensing probe to approximately 90 μm in order to generate strong evanescent waves (EWs). The sensor probe is functionalized with graphene oxide (GO), gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles (MoS2-NPs), and creatininase (CA) enzyme. The concentration of creatinine is determined using fiber optic localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR). While EWs are used to enhance the LSPR effect of AuNPs, two-dimensional (2D) materials (GO and MoS2-NPs) are used to increase biocompatibility, and CA is used to increase probe specificity. Additionally, HR-TEM and UV-visible spectroscopy are used to characterize and measure the nanoparticle (NP) morphology and absorption spectrum, respectively. SEM is used to characterize the NPs immobilized on the surface of the fiber probe. The sensor probe's reusability, reproducibility, stability, selectivity, and pH test results are also tested to verify the sensor performance. The sensitivity of proposed sensor is 0.0025 nm/μM, has a standard deviation of 0.107, and has a limit of detection of 128.4 μM over a linear detection range of 0 - 2000 μM.

Abstract
Diagnostic, monitoring, response, predictive, risk, and prognostic biomarkers of disease are all widely studied, for the most part in biological fluids or tissues, but there is steadily growing interest in alternative matrices such as nails. Here we comprehensively review studies dealing with molecular or elemental biomarkers of disease, as opposed to semiological, pharmacological, toxicological, or biomonitoring studies. Nails have a long history of use in medicine as indicators of pathological processes and have also been used extensively as a matrix for monitoring exposure to environmental pollution. Nail clippings are simple to collect noninvasively as well as to transport and store, and the matrix itself is relatively stable. Nails incorporate, and are influenced by, circulating molecules and elements over their several months of growth, and it is widely held that markers of biological processes will remain in the nail, even when their levels in blood have declined. Nails thus offer the possibility to not only look back into a subject's metabolic history but also to study biomarkers of processes that operate over a longer time scale such as the post-translational modification of proteins. Reports on ungual biomarkers of metabolic and endocrine diseases, cancer, and psychological and neurological disorders will be presented, and an overview of the sampling and analytical techniques provided.

Abstract
Nanozymes were the novel research field to replace natural enzymes because of stability and low cost. However, the research on nanozymes was mainly focused on peroxidase, and there was little research about nanozymes with oxidase-like activity, especially mimic oxidase of small molecules related to human physiology. High levels of uric acid (UA) in the body can cause hyperuricemia and gout. And natural uricase cured this disease because it could oxidize UA. The oxidase-like activity of mixed valence state metal organic frameworks with cerium (MVSM) had been studied, but MVSM was found to have uricase-like activity in this article. The catalytic process of UA with MVSM was studied by a variety of analytical methods, which was similar to the natural uricase except for further oxidation of H2O2. The catalytic activity constants of MVSM were acquired by the Michaelis-Menten equation. MVSM had a better ability to catalyze UA in in vivo and in vitro experiments. An enzyme-free analysis-based mimic uricase for UA was established. All the experimental results proved that MVSM had a good prospect to replace the natural uricase. A nanomaterial, mixed valence state Ce-MOF (MVSM), with uricase-like activity has been found in vivo and in vitro. This material has potential to be a fluorescent analysis for detecting uric acid without uricase.

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

Abstract
Uric acid analysis is extremely important for gout prognosis, diagnosis and treatment. Previous technologies either lack specificity or exhibit poor performance, and thus could not meet the need of Point-of-Care (POC) uric acid monitoring. Here we present for the first time, a novel electrochemical biosensor based on 3D Super-Aligned Carbon NanoTube (SACNT) array to facilitate POC uric acid monitoring. The working electrode of the biosensor is composed of an orderly 3D SACNT array immobilized with uricase through a precipitation and crosslinking procedure. Such biosensor possesses a higher enzyme density, significantly larger contact area with reactants and could maintain the intact SACNT structure and its excellent conductivity after modification. The developed 3D SACNT array electrochemical biosensor benefits from high specific surface area, high electro-catalytic activity and large contact area with analytes, and demonstrates high sensitivity of 518.8 μA/(mM⋅cm2), wide linear range of 100-1000 μM and low limit of detection of 1 μM for uric acid. Dynamic uric acid monitoring has been achieved using the presented biosensor. And the obtained results in serum samples had no significant difference compared with those obtained using the FDA-approved electrochemical analyzer (Paired T-test, p > 0.05). These demonstrated that the technology can potentially be applied in POC monitoring of other biomolecules to improve prognosis, diagnosis and treatment outcomes of metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Concentration of uric acid (UA) in serum is one of the markers used to diagnose gout and hyperuricemia. However, serum treatment and storage are cumbersome, and wounds are susceptible to infection. Therefore, a new sampling and analysis method using noninvasive biological samples has been developed, called the dried spot method of UA in human saliva (DSM-UHS). Saliva (5 μL) was dropped on filter paper (a spot with a diameter of 5 mm) containing hypoxanthine (IS) (5 μL) and dried at room temperature for 30 min. The filter paper was immersed in 200 μL of lithium carbonate solution and shaken in a block bath shaker for 5 min at 30 °C. Afterward, the extraction was concentrated and reconstituted with 100 μL of lithium carbonate solution analyzed by HPLC-UV. When comparing the concentration of UA in the human saliva of hyperuricemia patients (HPs) and with that of healthy volunteers (HVs), we observed the concentration of UA was higher in the HPs than in the HVs (p < 0.0001). In addition, the results showed a significant linear relationship between the content of UA in saliva and the content of UA in the serum (r = 0.6243). The content of UA in human saliva could indirectly reflect the content of UA in human serum. Then DSM-UHS could be used to determine the content of UA in the saliva of HVs and HPs. This study provides a new research method and strategy for the determination of human UA content and the clinical prewiring of hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Background: Metabolic reprogramming in breast cancer is depicted as a crucial change in the tumor microenvironment. Besides the molecular understanding of metabolic heterogeneity, appreciable attention is drawn to characterizing metabolite profiles in tumor tissue and derived biological fluids and tissue materials. Several findings reported on the metabolic alterations of free aromatic amino acids (FAAAs) and other metabolites in biological fluids. Furthermore, there is a significant gap in the development of a suitable method for the purification and analysis of metabolite biomarkers in nails of cancer patients. Methods: To address the metabolite alterations, specifically FAAA levels in nails, fingernail clippings of breast cancer patients (N = 10) and healthy subjects (N-12) were used for extraction and purification of metabolites. Here, we reported a novel and specifically designed vertical tube gel electrophoresis (VTGE) system that helped in the purification of metabolites in the range of 100-1,000 Da from nail materials. Here, the VTGE system uses 15% polyacrylamide under non-denaturing and non-reducing conditions, which makes eluted metabolites directly compatible with LC-HRMS and other analytical techniques. Qualitative and quantitative determination of FAAAs in nail lysates was done in positive ESI mode of the Agilent LC-HRMS platform. Results: The analysis on collected data of nail metabolites clearly suggested that FAAAs including tryptophan, tyrosine, phenylalanine, and histidine were undetectable in nail lysates of breast cancer over healthy subjects. This is a first report that showed highly reduced levels of FAAAs in nails of breast cancer patients. Furthermore, the present observation is in consonance with previous findings that showed cancer cachexia and high amino acid catabolism in breast cancer patients that drive metabolite-led cancer growth and proliferation. Conclusion: This paper provides a proof of concept for a novel and specifically developed VTGE process that showed first evidence on the undetectable level of FAAAs in nails of breast cancer patients as metabolite biomarkers. Here, the authors propose the potential use of a VTGE-assisted process to achieve metabolomic discovery in nails of breast cancer and other tumor types.

Abstract
A sensitive electrochemical sensor featuring novel composites of gold and carbon nanocomplexes alongside a polymerized amino acid was developed for the determination of uric acid (UA) and dopamine (DA) concentrations in both buffer and human urine sample solutions. The sensor was fabricated by electropolymerization of l-methionine (l-Met) followed by coating of carbon nanotube-graphene complexes and electrodeposition of gold nanoparticles on a screen printed carbon electrode surface. The electrode surfaces were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy, and the electrochemical properties were investigated by cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry. Linear ranges of 0.05-3 μM and 1-35 μM with limits of detection of 0.0029 and 0.034 μM were achieved for DA and UA, respectively. In addition, the developed sensor was applied for the analysis of native UA and DA concentrations in undiluted and diluted human urine samples. The UA analysis results were compared to those obtained using high performance liquid chromatography and a fluorometric assay kit while the DA analysis results were compared to those obtained using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

Abstract
Detection of cholesterol and uric acid biomarkers is of great importance for clinical diagnosis of several serious diseases correlated with their variations in human blood serum. In this study, a new kind of well selective and highly sensitive ratiometric fluorescent probe for cholesterol and uric acid determination in human blood serum was innovatively developed on the basis of the inner filter effect (IFE) process of nitrogen, cobalt co-doped carbon dots (N,Co-CDs) with 2,3-diaminophenazine (DAP). DAP was the oxidative product during the oxidation reaction between o-phenylenediamine and H2O2. Fluorescent magnetic N,Co-CDs possessing blue emission and magnetic property were prepared through a facile one-pot hydrothermal strategy by using citric acid, diethylenetriamine, and cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate as precursors. N,Co-CDs exhibited good ferromagnetic property and excellent optical properties even in extremely harsh environmental conditions, implying the huge potential applications of such N,Co-CDs in biological areas. On the basis of the IFE process between N,Co-CDs and DAP, N,Co-CDs were applied to establish ratiometric fluorescent probes for the indirect detection of cholesterol and uric acid that participated in enzyme-catalyzed H2O2-generation reactions. The established IFE-based fluorescent probes exhibited relatively low detection limits of 3.6 nM for cholesterol and 3.4 nM for uric acid, respectively. The fluorescent probe was successfully utilized for the determination of cholesterol and uric acid in human blood serum with satisfying results, which provided an informed perspective on the applications of such doped CDs to explore the specific and sensitive nanoprobe in disease diagnoses and clinical therapy.

Abstract
We demonstrate a facile electrochemical sensor (CNCo/GCE) based on N,Co-doped porous carbon (CNCo) as electrode materials for detection of uric acid (UA). The porous carbon materials were prepared via the direct carbonization of bimetallic zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (BMZIFs) based on ZIF-8 and ZIF-67 with an appropriate molar ratio of Zn/Co at 900 °C in an N2 atmosphere. The properties of the BMZIFs and CNCo were characterized by SEM, TEM, XRD, and XPS. The electrochemical behaviors of the CNCo-modified electrode were investigated using cyclic voltammetry (CV), impedance analysis (EIS), and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and showed enhanced electrochemical catalytic activity toward UA. DPV was conducted for the determination of UA with a linear range of 2.0-110 μM and a low detection limit of 0.83 μM at an S/N = 3. Furthermore, the CNCo/GCE electrode showed good reproducibility and repeatability with RSDs of 3.07% and 3.26%, respectively. Additionally, the sensor was successfully employed to quantify UA in human serum samples with satisfactory recoveries, suggesting it is a promising candidate for biological applications.

Abstract
Combining the surface modification and molecular imprinting technique, a novel piezoelectric sensing platform with excellent molecular recognition capability was established for the detection of uric acid (UA) based on the immobilization of TiO2 nanoparticles onto quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) electrode and modification of molecularly imprinted TiO2 (MIT) layer on TiO2 nanoparticles. The performance of the fabricated biosensor was evaluated, and the results indicated that the biosensor exhibited high sensitivity in UA detection, with a linear range from 0.04 to 45 μM and a limit of detection of 0.01 μM. Moreover, the biosensor presented high selectivity towards UA in comparison with other interferents. The analytical application of the UA biosensor confirmed the feasibility of UA detection in urine sample.

Abstract
In this study, a highly sensitive analysis method for the rapid detection of histamine (HA), imidazole-4-acetic acid (IAA) and 1-methylhistamine (MHA) in pregnant women's fingernails was developed using the ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). HA and MHA were connected with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-F) as the derivation reagent for the first time. IAA was derivatized with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-piperazino-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-PZ) successfully. The derivative mixtures were simultaneously separated within 8 min on an ACQUITY UPLCTM BEH C18 column (1.7 μm, 100 × 2.1 mm i.d.) by isocratic elution using a mixture of 20 mM HCOONH4 and CH3CN (82:18) as the mobile phase, and sensitively detected by selected reaction monitoring (SRM). The quantitative analysis of HA, IAA, and MHA are performed by SRM using the fragmentation transitions of m/z 337.2 → 292.1, 420.6 → 375.1 and 351.2 → 306.0 under the positive ESI mode. The calibration curves for HA, IAA and MHA are presented herein, and their correlation coefficient were found to be above 0.9998, the measured detection limit for derivatized histamine and metabolites ranged from 0.06 to 0.15 fmol, and the relative standard derivation of intra-day and inter-day assays was 6.3%. Furthermore, the mean recoveries (%) of the standards added to human fingernails were in the range of 90.2 - 100.5%. The validated method was successfully applied to analyze human fingernail samples from three pregnant women and three healthy non-pregnant women. To the best of our knowledge, this report about the detection of histamine and metabolites in the fingernails of pregnant women's fingernails is the first published.

Abstract
The clinical applications of sensing tools (i.e., biosensors) for the monitoring of physiologically important analytes are very common. Nowadays, the biosensors are being increasingly used to detect physiologically important analytes in real biological samples (i.e., blood, plasma, urine, and saliva). This review focuses on biosensors that can be applied to continuous, time-resolved measurements with fluorescence. The material presents the fluorescent biosensors for the detection of neurotransmitters, hormones, and other human metabolites as glucose, lactate or uric acid. The construction of microfluidic devices based on fluorescence uses a variety of materials, fluorescent dyes, types of detectors, excitation sources, optical filters, and geometrical systems. Due to their small size, these devices can perform a full analysis. Microfluidics-based technologies have shown promising applications in several of the main laboratory techniques, including blood chemistries, immunoassays, nucleic-acid amplification tests. Of the all technologies that are used to manufacture microfluidic systems, the LTCC technique seems to be an interesting alternative. It allows easy integration of electronic and microfluidic components on a single ceramic substrate. Moreover, the LTCC material is biologically and chemically inert, and is resistant to high temperature and pressure. The combination of all these features makes the LTCC technology particularly useful for implementation of fluorescence-based detection in the ceramic microfluidic systems.

Abstract
In this work, a green, simple, economical method was developed in the synthesis of fluorescent carbon dots using pork as carbon source. The as-prepared carbon dots exhibit exceptional advantages including high fluorescent quantum yield (17.3%) and satisfactory chemical stability. The fluorescence of carbon dots based nanosensor can be selectively and efficiently quenched by uric acid. This phenomenon was used to develop a fluorescent method for facile detection of uric acid within a linear range of 0.1-100μM and 100-500μM, with a detection limit of 0.05μM (S/N=3). Finally, the proposed method was successfully applied in the determination of uric acid in human serum and urine samples with satisfactory recoveries, which suggested that the new nanosensors have great prospect toward the detection of uric acid in human fluids.

[PMID: 29332789 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2017.12.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2017] [Revised: 11/30/2017] [Accepted: 12/04/2017] [Indexed: 01/27/2023]
Abstract
A novel fluorescence method for the determination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and uric acid (UA) was developed. The procedure was based on the hydroxyl radicals (·OH), which effectively quenched the fluorescence of the Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs). Based on the property of Mn2+-doped NaYF4:Yb,Er upconversion nanoparticles, the Fenton reaction and enzymatic reaction of uric acid, this method could be used for highly sensitive detection of H2O2 and uric acid. Under optimal conditions, we observed that the fluorescence quenching signal showed good linearity with the H2O2 concentration in the range of 3.00×10-8 M ~ 6.00×10-5 M, and the detection limit of this assay was 1.30×10-8 M. Meanwhile, the linear concentration range for UA was 4.00×10-9 M ~ 1.00×10-5 M, and the lower limit of detection was 1.90×10-9 M. Furthermore, the developed method was successfully used for the determination of UA levels in human serum with satisfactory results.

Abstract
In this paper, a redox-modulated fluorescent strategy based on the transformation of Fe2+/Fe3+ couple and enzymatic reaction for rapid monitoring glucose and uric acid using graphene quantum dots (GQDs) as fluorescent probe was developed. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) can be produced by the enzymatic reaction of a series of metabolites, such as glucose and uric acid. In the presence of hydrogen peroxide, Fe2+ can be oxidized and converted to Fe3+, which have a significant quenching difference in the fluorescence of graphene quantum dots (GQDs). Thus, a sensitive and label-free biosensor for the detection of uric acid and glucose was developed. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the fluorescence intensity was linearly correlated with the concentration of uric acid and glucose in the range of 0.1-45 μmolL-1 and 0.1-30 μmolL-1 with a detection limit of 0.026 μmolL-1and 0.021 μmolL-1, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of uric acid and glucose in human serum samples with satisfactory results, which had potential application to detect metabolites associated with H2O2 release.

Abstract
The presence of elevated uric acid (UA) levels is a sign of gout, that is, hyperuricemia. In this study the monitoring of the UA levels in less-invasive biological samples, such as the human fingernail, is suggested for the diagnosis and therapy of gout. Twenty-six healthy volunteers (HV) and 22 gout patients (GP) were studied. The UA was extracted from human fingernail samples, then separated on an Inertsil ODS-3 column (250 × 4.6 mm i.d., 4.0 μm, GL Sciences) by isocratic elution using methanol-74 mm phosphate buffer (pH 2.2) 2:98 (v/v). A UV detector was used to monitor the samples at 284 nm. Using the developed method, different UA concentrations were found in the GP and HV. When comparing the concentrations from GP with those from HV, a statistically significant correlation was observed between the UA (p < 0.01). In this study, the UA was confirmed as a potential biomarker for the diagnosis and therapy of gout. We have developed a novel sensitive, and simple method for the determination of UA in the fingernails of GP and HV. The human fingernail may serve as a noninvasive biosample for the diagnosis of gout. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
