Abstract
Monitoring therapeutic drugs and their elimination is crucial because they may cause severe side effects on the human body. Methotrexate (MTX) is a widely used anti-cancer drug, which is highly expensive, and the detection of unwanted overdoses of MTX using traditional procedures is time-consuming and involves complex instrumentation. In this work, we have developed a nanocomposite material using phosphorene, cystine, and gold (Ph-Cys-Au) that shows excellent optical properties. This nanocomposite can be used as an optical sensing platform for the detection of MTX in the range 0-260 μM. The synthesized sensing platform is very sensitive, selective, and cost-effective for the detection of MTX. Ph-Cys-Au can effectively detect MTX in aqueous media with a limit of detection (LOD) of about 0.0266 nM (for a linear range of 0-140 μM) and 0.0077 nM (for a linear range of 160-260 μM). The nanocomposite is equally selective for real samples, such as human blood serum (HBS) and artificial urine (AU) with a LOD of 0.0914 nM and 0.0734 nM, respectively. We have also determined the limit of quantification (LOQ); the LOQ values for the aqueous media were 0.0807 nM (for a linear range of 0-140 μM) and 0.0234 nM (for a linear range of 160-260 μM), whereas, the values for HBS and AU were around 0.2771 nM and 0.2226 nM, respectively. Moreover, the nanocomposite also provides a feasible platform for cytotoxicity screening in cancerous cells (Caco-2 cell lines) and non-cancerous cells (L-929 cell lines).

Abstract
In this paper, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully green-synthesized for the first time using Hedysarum polysaccharide (HPS) as a reducing agent, stabilizer, and modifier (HPS-AgNP). Thiamazole could induce the aggregation of HPS-AgNPs in the residue on a cellulose membrane. A syringe paper-based analytical device was creatively established to ensure the tightness, stability, and good repeatability of the test. The color information remaining on the cellulose membrane was converted into gray values using ImageJ software. Hence, the linear regression curve for thiamazole was established as y = 1 + 0.179x with a detection limit (LOD) of 24.6 nM in the relatively wide range of 0.1~10 μM. This syringe paper-based analytical device was successfully applied to the biological samples.

Abstract
Rapid and flexible detection or accurate recognition of trace drugs is of great importance in cracking down on drug crimes, but it remains to be expected. Here, a solid chip is presented for the efficient detection and recognition of trace opioids (typically morphine) in aqueous solutions based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Firstly, a Au-coated Si nano-cone array (Au-SNCA) is designed and fabricated via Si-based organic colloidal template etching and Au deposition. This Au-SNCA shows three-dimensional nanostructure with high densities of nanotips and deep nanogaps as well as high structural consistency, which exhibits strong SERS activity to morphine and outstanding stability. Then, such Au-SNCA is used as solid SERS chip to detect morphine in aqueous solutions. It has been demonstrated that using such solid chip, trace morphine in solutions could be recognized and detected within 1 min, and the detection limit is 10-5 mg/mL (∼10 ppb), showing rapid and sensitive detection, which is much better than the previous reports. Meanwhile, the Au-SNCA chip also can be utilized to detect trace morphine in tap water and reservoir water, the recoveries range from 90.4% to 102.4%. Such excellent SERS performance of this Au-SNCA chip is attributed to its special structure which enhances not only local electromagnetic field but also molecular adsorption. The experimental results about the effects of immersion time and concentration show that the adsorption behavior of morphine molecules on such Au-SNCA chip can be explained by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich adsorption mode. Moreover, the Au-SNCA chip is also suitable for the identification of morphine homologues and the broad-spectrum detection of various common drugs. This study presents a practical solid chip and a simple approach for the efficient SERS detection and recognition of trace drugs in solutions. This is of significance to on-site detect drugs in forensic science.

Abstract
High-dose methotrexate (MTX) therapy is used to treat a wide variety of cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma, while the resulting high blood concentration of MTX faces a risk of life-threatening side effects, so it is essential to monitor the concentration carefully. Currently, the MTX concentration is measured using antibody-based kits in a clinical setting; however, the heterogeneity and batch-to-batch variation of antibodies potentially compromise the detection limit. Here, we developed MTX detection systems with chemically synthesizable homogeneous oligonucleotides. Microbead-assisted capillary electrophoresis (MACE)-SELEX against MTX successfully identified MSmt7 with a similar level of specificity to anti-MTX antibodies within three rounds. The 3'-end of MSmt7 was coupled to a peroxidase-like hemin-DNAzyme to construct a bifunctional oligonucleotide for MTX sensing, where MTX in 50% human serum was detected with a limit of detection (LoD) of 118 nM. Furthermore, amplifying the DNAzyme region with rolling circle amplification significantly improved the sensitivity with an LoD of 290 pM. Presented oligonucleotide-based MTX detection systems will pave the way for antibody-independent MTX detection with reliability and less cost in the laboratory and the clinic.

Abstract
In the real world, analytes usually exist in complex systems, and this makes direct detection by surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) difficult. Thin layer chromatography tandem with SERS (TLC-SERS) has many advantages in analysis such as separation effect, instant speed, simple process, and low cost. Therefore, the TLC-SERS has great potential for detecting analytes in mixtures without sample pretreatment. The review demonstrates TLC-SERS applications in diverse analytical relevant topics such as environmental pollutants, illegal additives, pesticide residues, toxic ingredients, biological molecules, and chemical substances. Important properties such as stationary phase, separation efficiency, and sensitivity are discussed. In addition, future perspectives for improving the efficiency of TLC-SERS in real sample detecting are outlined.

Abstract
The integration of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy with magnetic fluid provides significant utility in point-of-care (POC) testing applications. Bifunctional magnetic-plasmonic composites have been widely employed as SERS substrates. In this study, a simple and cost-effective approach was developed to synthesize magnetic-plasmonic SERS substrates by decorating silver nanoparticles onto magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (AgMNPs), which function both as SERS-active substrates and magnetic fluid particles. The strong magnetic responsivity from AgMNPs can isolate, concentrate, and detect target analytes from the irregular surface of fish skin rapidly. We fabricate a microfluid chip with three sample reservoirs that confine AgMNPs into ever smaller volumes under an applied magnetic field, which enhances the SERS signal and improves the detection limit by two orders of magnitude. The magnetic fluid POC sensor successfully detected malachite green from fish with excellent selectivity and high sensitivity down to the picomolar level. This work achieves a label-free, non-destructive optical sensing approach with promising potential for the detection of various harmful ingredients in food or the environment.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) can improve clinical care when using drugs with pharmacokinetic variability and a narrow therapeutic window. Rapid, reliable, and easy-to-use detection methods are required in order to decrease the time of analysis and can also enable TDM in resource-limited settings or even at bedside. Monitoring methotrexate (MTX), an anticancer drug, is critical since it is needed to follow the drug clearance rate and decide how to administer the rescue drug, leucovorin (LV), in order to avoid toxicity and even death. We show that with the optimized nanopillar-assisted separation (NPAS) method using surface-enhanced Raman scattering, we were able to measure MTX in PBS and serum in the linear range of 5-150 μM and confirmed that MTX detection can be carried out even in the presence of LV. Additionally, when NPAS was combined with centrifugal filtration, a quantification limit of 2.1 μM for MTX in human serum sample was achieved. The developed detection method enables fast detection (10 min) and quantification of MTX from human serum (>90% accuracy). Furthermore, we show the potential of the developed method for TDM, when quantifying MTX from clinical samples, collected from patients who are undergoing high-dose MTX therapy.

Abstract
The flexible SERS substrate were prepared base on regenerated cellulose fibers, in which the Au nanoparticles were controllably assembled on fiber through electrostatic interaction. The cellulose fiber was regenerated from waste paper through the dry-jet wet spinning method, an eco-friendly and convenient approach by using ionic liquid. The Au NPs could be controllably distributed on the surface of fiber by adjusting the conditions during the process of assembling. Finite-difference time-domain theoretical simulations verified the intense local electromagnetic fields of plasmonic composites. The flexible SERS fibers show excellent SERS sensitivity and adsorption capability. A typical Raman probe molecule, 4-Mercaptobenzoicacid (4-MBA), was used to verify the SERS cellulose fibers, the sensitivity could achieve to 10−9 M. The flexible SERS fibers were successfully used for identifying dimetridazole (DMZ) from aqueous solution. Furthermore, the flexible SERS fibers were used for detecting DMZ from the surface of fish by simply swabbing process. It is clear that the fabricated plasmonic composite can be applied for the identifying toxins and chemicals.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that cancer, the second leading cause of death, is a morbidity with big impacts on the global health. In the last few years, chemo-therapeutic treatment continually induces alone most lengthy consequents, which is extremely harmful for the physiological and psychological health of the patients. In the present research, we discuss the recent techniques for employed for extraction, and quantitative determination of such compounds in pharmaceutical, and biological specimens. In the frame of this information, this review aims to provide basic principles of chromatography, spectroscopy, and electroanalytical methods for the analysis of anticancer drugs published in the last three years. The review also describes the recent developments regarding enhancing the limit of detection (LOD), the linear dynamic range, and so forth. The results show that the LOD for the chromatographic techniques with the UV detector was obtained equaled over the range 2.0 ng mL-1-0.2 μg mL-1, whereas the LOD values for analysis by chromatographic technique with the mass spectrometry (MS) detector was found between 10.0 pg mL-1-0.002 μg mL-1. The biological fluids could be directly injected to capillary electrophoresis (CE) in cases where the medicine concentration is at the contents greater than mg L-1 or g L-1. Additionally, electrochemical detection of the anticancer drugs has been mainly conducted by the voltammetry techniques with diverse modified electrodes, and lower LODs were estimated between 3.0 ng mL-1-0.3 μg mL-1. It is safe to say that the analyses of anticancer drugs can be achieved by employing a plethora of techniques such as electroanalytical, spectroscopy, and chromatography techniques.
