Abstract
Up-conversion (or anti-Stokes) luminescence refers to the phenomenon whereby materials emit high energy, short-wavelength light upon excitation at longer wavelengths. Lanthanide-doped up-conversion nanoparticles (Ln-UCNPs) are widely used in biomedicine due to their excellent physical and chemical properties such as high penetration depth, low damage threshold and light conversion ability. Here, the latest developments in the synthesis and application of Ln-UCNPs are reviewed. First, methods used to synthesize Ln-UCNPs are introduced, and four strategies for enhancing up-conversion luminescence are analyzed, followed by an overview of the applications in phototherapy, bioimaging and biosensing. Finally, the challenges and future prospects of Ln-UCNPs are summarized.

Abstract
Perovskites, garnets, monoclinic forms, and lately also oxyhydroxides doped with rare-earth ions have been drawn large attention due to their beneficial optical and photovoltaic properties. In this work, we have shown that several forms of crystals from Y-Al-O family can be synthesized using microwave driven hydrothermal technique using different pH and post-growth annealing at different temperatures. The structural and optical properties of these crystals were investigated as a function of hydrothermal crystallization conditions. For this purpose, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and photoluminescence excitation studies were performed. All the structures have been doped with Eu3+ions which are known as a local symmetry sensor because various symmetries generate different crystal fields and thus affect their luminescence spectra. The optical properties of the obtained nanoparticles in correlation with their structure and chemical composition are discussed.

A visual detection of human immunodeficiency virus gene using ratiometric method enabled by phenol red and target-induced catalytic hairpin assembly. Talanta 2020; 219:121202.

Abstract
Relying on the specific coordination of Ag+ and mismatched cytosine-cytosine (C-C), the high-efficiency inhibition of urease by Ag+ ion, and the rapid and sensitive response of phenol red to pH, a sensitive ratiometric sensor has been designed for visual detection of human immunodeficiency virus gene (HIV DNA). This sensor utilizes the HIV DNA to initiate catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA) process, releasing Ag+ to inhibit subsequent urease-catalyzed urea hydrolysis and prevent the pH of the solution from rising. The CHA process and the absorbance ratio of phenol red at different wavelengths (A559/A432) amplify the signal, allowing the sensor to detect HIV DNA from 10 to 130 nM in a sensitive and highly selective manner with a low detection limit of 7.8 nM. In addition, this sensor can visually distinguish different concentrations of HIV DNA within a certain range and possesses a good recovery in 1% of serum samples, which will provide new ideas for biosensor design, dipstick test, blood test, and other clinical disease prevention.
