Abstract
Rosin-based fluorescent polyurethane emulsion (FPU) was prepared using isophorone diisocyanate, ester of acrylic rosin and glycidyl methacrylate, 1,5-dihydroxy naphthalene (1,5-DN), and 1,4-butanediol as the raw materials. Then, rosin-based fluorescent polyurethane microspheres (FPUMs) were successfully prepared by suspension polymerization method using FPU as the main material, azodiisobutyronitrile as the initiator, and gelatin as the dispersant. FPUMs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence spectra, and the response performance of FPUMs to pH was studied. The results showed that FPUMs were successfully prepared. With the increase of the level of 1,5-DN, the particle size of FPUMs increased gradually, and the fluorescence intensity increased first and then decreased. When the level of 1,5-DN was 3 wt.%, the average particle size was 49.3 μm, the particle distribution index (PDI) was 1.05, and the fluorescence intensity was the largest (3662 a.u.). The fluorescence intensity of FPUMs increased linearly with the decrease of pH, which can be used for pH detection in solution. Furthermore, the FPUMs exhibited good thermal stability, anti-interference and recoverability.

Abstract
A novel 3 × 4 colorimetric sensing platform, named the chemometric-assisted litmus test (CLT), has been developed by covalently anchoring commercial pH indicators to ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH). The proposed device can be exploited for pH determinations in a wide range from 1 to 13 and in specific narrow ranges, achieving sufficient accuracy and errors below 0.5 pH units. The experimental procedure is simple, quick and reliable; equilibration is reached in less than 2 h, CLT pictures are acquired by a camera, and data treatment is performed applying chemometric techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least square regression (PLS) to RGB indices.

Abstract
In this study, we reported a novel sensing platform based on fluorescence quenching composed of alendronic acid (ADA) coated upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) and Nile Blue (NB) combined with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for rapid, sensitive, and specific detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli). As a fluorescence acceptor, NB has a broad absorption band and can quench upconversion fluorescence intensity at 544 nm and 658 nm based on IFE. PCR is a double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) amplification technique with high specificity. The NB-dsDNA complex can be formed by intercalation of NB between base pairs and groove of dsDNA, leading to upconversion fluorescence recovery. The ADA-coated UCNPs@NB sensing platform achieved to detect E. coli in 1.5 h, with a lower limit of detection (33 CFU mL-1). In addition, the sensitivity of the ADA@UCNPs-NB fluorescence sensor under different PCR cycle numbers was discussed. The results showed that the proposed sensor could effectively shorten the assay time (1.0 h) while maintaining excellent sensitivity. This study demonstrated a rapid and sensitive analytical method for detecting E. coli in chicken, providing a reference for constructing PCR fluorescence sensors.

Abstract
The greatest challenge associated with topical drug delivery for the treatment of diseases affecting the posterior segment of the eye is to overcome the poor bioavailability of the carried molecules. Nanomedicine offers the possibility to overcome obstacles related to physiological mechanisms and ocular barriers by exploiting different ocular routes. Functionalization of nanosystems by fluorescent probes could be a useful strategy to understand the pathway taken by nanocarriers into the ocular globe and to improve the desired targeting accuracy. The application of fluorescence to decorate nanocarrier surfaces or the encapsulation of fluorophore molecules makes the nanosystems a light probe useful in the landscape of diagnostics and theranostics. In this review, a state of the art on ocular routes of administration is reported, with a focus on pathways undertaken after topical application. Numerous studies are reported in the first section, confirming that the use of fluorescent within nanoparticles is already spread for tracking and biodistribution studies. The first section presents fluorescent molecules used for tracking nanosystems’ cellular internalization and permeation of ocular tissues; discussions on the classification of nanosystems according to their nature (lipid-based, polymer-based, metallic-based and protein-based) follows. The following sections are dedicated to diagnostic and theranostic uses, respectively, which represent an innovation in the ocular field obtained by combining dual goals in a single administration system. For its great potential, this application of fluorescent nanoparticles would experience a great development in the near future. Finally, a brief overview is dedicated to the use of fluorescent markers in clinical trials and the market in the ocular field.

Ratiometric electrochemical immunoassay for procalcitonin based on dual signal probes: Ag NPs and Nile blue A. Mikrochim Acta 2022; 189:126. [PMID: 35230535 DOI: 10.1007/s00604-022-05225-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2021] [Accepted: 02/09/2022] [Indexed: 10/19/2022]
Abstract
In order to determine procalcitonin, a sandwich-type ratiometic electrochemical immunosensor was developed by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV). Due to high chemical stability and good biocompatibility, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) could be used as feasible supporter to carry silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with an obvious oxidative peak (measured typically at + 0.3 V vs. SCE). Ag NPs loaded onto g-C3N4 were not only beneficial to prevent the agglomeration of Ag NPs, but also favorable to improve the electron transfer velocity of g-C3N4. Moreover, the g-C3N4-Ag NPs as the matrix could immobilize primary antibody by Ag-N bond. Nile blue A (NBA), an excellent redox probe based on the redox reaction with two-electrons, provides a current signal at - 0.38 V (vs. SCE). Zr-based metal organic framework (UiO-67), an ideal framework material with large specific surface area and high porosity, could absorb the substantial water-soluble NBA by electrostatic adsorption. The UiO-67 modified by NBA (NBA-UiO-67) owned admirable biocompatibility and was a qualifying marker to load the secondary antibody. For the immunosensor, the current ratio of NBA to Ag NPs (INBA/IAg NPs) was increased as the concentrations of PCT increased. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of the immunosensor was 0.005 to 50 ng/mL; the detection limit was 1.67 pg/mL (S/N = 3), which reflected the excellent analytical performance of the sensor. The proposed immunosensor strategy is a simple and dependable platform, with great application potential in biometric analysis.

Abstract
Polymer nanoparticles doped with fluorescent molecules are widely applied for biological assays, local temperature measurements, and other bioimaging applications, overcoming several critical drawbacks, such as dye toxicity, increased water solubility, and allowing imaging of dyes/drug delivery in water. In this work, some polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) (SBS) based micro and nanoparticles with an average size of about 200 nm and encapsulating B(III) compounds have been prepared via the reprecipitation method by using tetrahydrofuran as the oil phase and water. The compounds are highly hydrophobic, but their encapsulation into a polymer matrix allows obtaining stable colloidal dispersions in water (3.39 µM) that maintain the photophysical behavior of these dyes. Although thermally activated non-radiative processes occur by increasing temperature from 25 to 80 °C, the colloidal suspension of the B(III) particles continues to emit greenish light (λ = 509 nm) at high temperatures. When samples are cooling back to room temperature, the emission is restored, being reversible. A probe of concept drug delivery study was conducted using coumarin 6 as a prototype of a hydrophobic drug.

Abstract
Natural and synthetic coumarin derivatives have gained increased attention in the design of functional polymers and polymer networks due to their unique optical, biological, and photochemical properties. This review provides a comprehensive overview over recent developments in macromolecular architecture and mainly covers examples from the literature published from 2004 to 2020. Along with a discussion on coumarin and its photochemical properties, we focus on polymers containing coumarin as a nonreactive moiety as well as polymer systems exploiting the dimerization and/or reversible nature of the [2πs + 2πs] cycloaddition reaction. Coumarin moieties undergo a reversible [2πs + 2πs] cycloaddition reaction upon irradiation with specific wavelengths in the UV region, which is applied to impart intrinsic healability, shape-memory, and reversible properties into polymers. In addition, coumarin chromophores are able to dimerize under the exposure to direct sunlight, which is a promising route for the synthesis and cross-linking of polymer systems under "green" and environment-friendly conditions. Along with the chemistry and design of coumarin functional polymers, we highlight various future application fields of coumarin containing polymers involving tissue engineering, drug delivery systems, soft robotics, or 4D printing applications.

Abstract
Because of numerous inherent and unique characteristics of phytochemicals as bioactive compounds derived from plants, they have been widely used as one of the most interesting nature-based compounds in a myriad of fields. Moreover, a wide variety of phytochemicals offer a plethora of fascinating optical and electrochemical features that pave the way toward their development as optical and electrochemical (bio)sensors for clinical/health diagnostics, environmental monitoring, food quality control, and bioimaging. In the current review, we highlight how phytochemicals have been tailored and used for a wide variety of optical and electrochemical (bio)sensing and bioimaging applications, after classifying and introducing them according to their chemical structures. Finally, the current challenges and future directions/perspective on the optical and electrochemical (bio)sensing applications of phytochemicals are discussed with the goal of further expanding their potential applications in (bio)sensing technology. Regarding the advantageous features of phytochemicals as highly promising and potential biomaterials, we envisage that many of the existing chemical-based (bio)sensors will be replaced by phytochemical-based ones in the near future.
