Abstract
BACKGROUND Methods based on paper-based analytical devices (PAD) and smartphone photographic colorimetric detection have become representative instrument-independent point-of-care testing (POCT) platforms due to their low cost and simplicity. However, the detection of target components from whole blood sample still presents challenges in terms of field preparation of small amounts of blood sample and detection sensitivity. This paper presents a rapid online processing method for whole blood samples on PAD based on plasma separation membrane (PSM), and combined with electrokinetic stacking and selective chromatic reaction. Real-time smartphone-based colorimetric detection of free hemoglobin (FHb) and human serum albumin (HSA) was successfully demonstrated. RESULTS With the proposed method, both detections for low and high concentration analytes could be implemented. The limits of detection of 16.6 mg L-1 for FHb and 0.67 g L-1 for HSA were obtained, respectively, with RSD below 8 %. The reliability of the method was verified by the recovery test and desktop spectrophotometric method. The detection results for real blood samples were in agreement with that by clinical methods. SIGNIFICANCE AND NOVELTY The PAD method is inexpensive, simple and fast, and detection of a whole blood sample of 5 μL can be finished in 5 min. This work shows that POCT of biomarkers from whole blood with PAD is possible without using any desktop facilities.

Fluorescence immunoassay for simultaneous detection typical β-agonists in animal derived food using blue-green upconversion nanoparticles as labels. SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2023; 303:123253. [PMID: 37579663 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123253] [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: 05/30/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/09/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023]
Abstract
Common typical β-agonists mainly include ractopamine (RAC), salbutamol (SAL), and clenbuterol (CLB). In view of the harm to human health causes by the ingestion of animal derived food containing β-agonists, and a series of regulations have been issued to restrict the usage of β-agonists as growth promoters. In this work, a fluorescence immunoassay is developed for the simultaneous detection of typical β-agonists based on blue-green upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) combine with magnetic separation. Here, blue-green UCNPs act as a signal amplification source, and magnetic polystyrene microspheres (MPMs) act as an ideal separation medium. Based on a competitive form, capture probe competes (RAC-OVA@MPMs and SAL-OVA@MPMs) with targets to bind corresponding signal probe (anti-RAC antibody@NaYF4:Yb, Tm UCNPs and anti-SAL antibody@NaYF4:Yb, Er UCNPs). The fluorescence difference values of the competitive immune-complex obtained via magnetic separation at 483 nm and 550 nm are proportional to concentrations of RAC and SAL, respectively. The immunoassay has the wide detection linear range from 0.001 to 100 μg L-1, and the low limit of detection (LOD) is 5.04 × 10-4 μg L-1 for RAC, 1.97 × 10-4 μg L-1 for SAL, respectively. Meanwhile, use of antibody with same recognition ability for SAL and CLB makes that the fluorescence immunoassay can achieve simultaneous detection of three typical β-agonists (RAC, SAL, and CLB). This fluorescence immunoassay has good application value and practicability for simultaneous detection of typical β-agonists in animal derived food.

Abstract
After excitation is stopped, long persistent phosphor materials (LPPs) can emit light for a long time. The most important feature is that it allows the separation of excitation and emission in time. Therefore, it plays a vital role in various fields such as data storage, information technology, and biomedicine. Owing to the unique mechanism of storage and luminescence, LPPs can avoid the interference of sample autofluorescence, as well as show strong tissue penetration ability, good afterglow performance, and rich spectral information in the near-infrared (NIR) region, which provides a broad prospect for the application of NIR LPPs in the field of biomedicine. In recent years, the development and applications in biomedical fields have been advanced significantly, such as biological imaging, sensing detection, and surgical guidance. In this review, we focus on the synthesis methods and luminescence mechanisms of different types of NIR LPPs, as well as their applications in bioimaging, biosensing detection, and cancer treatment in the field of biomedicine. Finally, future prospects and challenges of NIR LPPs in biomedical applications are also discussed.

Abstract
Herein, a time-resolved luminescence resonance energy transfer (TR-LRET) molecular beacon (MB) probe employing persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) as the energy donors was first constructed, and further designed for microRNA21 (miR21) sensing. This probe (named as PLNPs-MB) was facilely fabricated by covalent bioconjugation between poly-(acrylic acid) (PAA) modified near-infrared (NIR) emissive PLNPs i.e. ZnGa2O4:Cr3+ and functionalized MB oligonucleotide (5'-NH2 and 3'-BHQ3). Accordingly, PLNPs and BHQ3 were in close proximity to each other, leading to the occurrence of LRET and obvious persistent luminescence (PL) quenching. In the presence of miR21, loop of the PLNP-MB was hybridized, accompanying BHQ3 away from PLNPs and the restraint of LRET process. As a result, PL of the PLNPs was recovered, which built the foundation of miR21 quantification. The probe provided a linear response range from 0.1 to 10 nM for miR21 detection. Quantification limit of this probe was competitive and about 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than that of other reported MB probes for nucleic acid. Moreover, the proposed probe was successfully adopted for miR21 detection in biological fluids (human serum, cell extraction). This work also provided a sensitive detection nanoplatform for other targets through modifying diverse MBs onto the surface of PLNPs.

Abstract
Electrochemical sensing methods monitor biomolecules because of their specificity, rapid response, lower cost, and automation. Hemoglobin is an abundant protein in the human body and is correlated with various physiological processes. Levels of hemoglobin in blood are associated with anemia in pregnant women. In this research, a non-enzymatic sensor based on NiTe nanorods is developed for the detection and quantification of hemoglobin (Hb) from anemic pregnant patients. NiTe nanorods are synthesized by the single-step method. After characterizing the material, sensing parameters such as the effect of scan rate, pH, concentration, and interferences are optimized using standard hemoglobin samples. Linearity, the limit of detection (LOD), and the limit of quantification (LOQ) for NiTe nanorods are 0.99698, 0.012 nM, and 0.04 nM, respectively. Stability is measured by cyclic chronoamperometry (12 h) and voltammetry (100 cycles). Recovery of hemoglobin from blood samples is in the range of 63-90%. NiTe nanorods quantitatively determine hemoglobin from the blood samples of anemic pregnant women.

Abstract
A novel time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) pobe is constructed to detect human serum albumin (HSA) by exploiting ZnGeO:Mn persistent luminescence nanorods (ZnGeO:Mn PLNRs) and polydopamine nanoparticles (PDA NPs). HSA-induced dynamic quenching leads to the fluorescence decrease of ZnGeO:Mn PLNRs, providing the basis for quantitative analysis of HSA. The excellent photo-thermal conversion performance of PDA NPs is helpful to the collision process between ZnGeO:Mn PLNRs and HSA, inducing significant improvement of sensitivity. HSA is quantified by measuring time-resolved fluorescence at 540 nm under excitation of 250-nm light. Under optimal conditions, HSA in the linear range 0.1-100 ng mL-1 are detected by this PDA-mediated ZnGeO:Mn probe with high sensitivity and selectivity, and the detection limit is 36 pg mL-1 (3σ/s). The RSD for the quantification of HSA (5 ng mL-1, n = 11) is 5.2%. The practicability of this TRF probe is confirmed by accurate monitoring HSA contents in urine samples, giving rise to satisfactory spiking recoveries of 96.2-106.0%.

Abstract
Optical imaging is an indispensable tool in clinical diagnostics and fundamental biomedical research. Autofluorescence-free optical imaging, which eliminates real-time optical excitation to minimize background noise, enables clear visualization of biological architecture and physiopathological events deep within living subjects. Molecular probes especially developed for autofluorescence-free optical imaging have been proven to remarkably improve the imaging sensitivity, penetration depth, target specificity, and multiplexing capability. In this Review, we focus on the advancements of autofluorescence-free molecular probes through the lens of particular molecular or photophysical mechanisms that produce long-lasting luminescence after the cessation of light excitation. The versatile design strategies of these molecular probes are discussed along with a broad range of biological applications. Finally, challenges and perspectives are discussed to further advance the next-generation autofluorescence-free molecular probes for in vivo imaging and in vitro biosensors.

Abstract
Near-infrared persistent phosphors (NIR-PPs) are an emerging category of luminescent materials that can continuously emit NIR luminescence with super-long decay time of minutes, hours, or even days after the excitation ceases. Their unique excitation-free long-lasting afterglow, together with the NIR emission, has not only attracted wide research interests in the areas of photochemistry, photophysics, spectroscopy, and materials science, but also stimulated advanced applications in biosensing, bioimaging, biomedicine, and therapy in the past decade. Beyond these bio-related applications, the active research field triggers a number of novel applications recently. In this review, a brief outline of NIR-PPs including the luminescence mechanism, main material systems, and how they were applied into various fields was depicted. Particular emphasis was put on the emerging applications outside the field of biology. Future perspectives in this exploration research area were also presented. We hope this review can help researchers grab the latest information in the fast-growing field of NIR-PPs.

Abstract
The use of luminescence in biological systems allows us to diagnose diseases and understand cellular processes. Persistent luminescent materials have emerged as an attractive system for application in luminescence imaging of biological systems; the afterglow emission grants background-free luminescence imaging, there is no need for continuous excitation to avoid tissue and cell damage due to the continuous light exposure, and they also circumvent the depth penetration issue caused by excitation in the UV-Vis. This review aims to provide a background in luminescence imaging of biological systems, persistent luminescence, and synthetic methods for obtaining persistent luminescent materials, and discuss selected examples of recent literature on the applications of persistent luminescent materials in luminescence imaging of biological systems and photodynamic therapy. Finally, the challenges and future directions, pointing to the development of compounds capable of executing multiple functions and light in regions where tissues and cells have low absorption, will be discussed.

Abstract
An ultrahigh-sensitivity lateral flow immunochromatography (LFIC) assay based on up-converting nanoparticles (UCNPs) was developed to carry out a multi-residue detection of tetracycline in milk. The sensitivity of the immunoassay was greatly improved by the use of a broad-spectrum monoclonal antibody attached to UCNPs to form a signal probe. Under the optimal conditions, the UCNP-LFIC assay enabled sensitive detection of tetracycline (TC) as well as of oxytetracycline (OTC), chlortetracycline (CTC), and doxycycline (DOX) within 10 min, with IC 50 values of 0.32, 0.32, 0.26, 0.22 ng/mL, respectively. There was no cross-reactivity with ten other antibiotics. Similarly, we evaluated the experimental results for matrix effects. Experiments involving spiking showed the four tetracycline antibiotics displaying mean recoveries ranging from 93.95 to 111.90% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of < 9.95%. The detection results of actual samples using the developed method showed a good correlation (R 2 ≥ 0.98) with the results using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Thus, the assay can achieve an ultrahighly sensitive detection of antibiotics in milk, and can hence promote human health and provides promising applications in the bio-detection field.

Abstract
Thiol compounds exist widely on the Earth and have certain significance in the fields of the circulation of the sulfur element and industrial production. However, the odor and biological toxicity of thiol compounds make them pollutants that seriously threaten the environmental safety and the living quality of human. In this study, a novel triplet induced fluorescence "turn-off" strategy was designed for the detection of thiol pollutants via a glutathione-stabilized copper nanocluster (GSH-Cu NC) probe. The as-prepared GSH-Cu NCs not only have small size and good water-solubility, but also exhibit strong red-emitting fluorescence at 630 nm, which could be quenched quantitatively with the increase of the concentration of thiol pollutants. So they were employed to detect thioglycolic acid (TGA), 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), 2-mercaptoethanol (ME) and 2-(diethylamino)ethanethiol (2-AT) in a wide linear range of 1-100 μM with detection limits of 0.73 μM, 0.43 μM, 0.37 μM, and 0.69 μM, respectively. This method was successfully applied to detect the above thiol pollutants in lake water with good recoveries. Moreover, their further application was also expanded as luminous test strips based on the excellent fluorescence characteristics of GSH-Cu NCs for fast real-time detection of thiol pollutants.

Abstract
Acoustofluidic methods, with advantages including simplicity of device design, biocompatible manipulation, and low power consumption, have been touted as promising tools for point-of-care (POC) testing. Here, we report a cell-phone-based acoustofluidic platform that uses acoustic radiation forces to enrich nanoscale analytes and red and green fluorescence nanoparticles (SiO2@R and G@SiO2) as probes for POC visual testing. Thus, the color signals from the fluorescent probes are enhanced, and colorimetric sensitivity is significantly improved. As a POC demonstration, the acoustofluidic platform is used to detect hemoglobin (Hb) from human blood, resulting in a rapid and straightforward measurement of normal blood Hb levels. Combining an acoustofluidic-based nanoparticle-concentration platform with cell-phone-based colorimetry, our method introduces a potential pathway toward practical POC testing.

Abstract
Persistent luminescence phosphors are a novel group of promising luminescent materials with afterglow properties after the stoppage of excitation. In the past decade, persistent luminescence nanoparticles (PLNPs) with intriguing optical properties have attracted a wide range of attention in various areas. Especially in recent years, the development and applications in biomedical fields have been widely explored. Owing to the efficient elimination of the autofluorescence interferences from biotissues and the ultra-long near-infrared afterglow emission, many researches have focused on the manipulation of PLNPs in biosensing, cell tracking, bioimaging and cancer therapy. These achievements stimulated the growing interest in designing new types of PLNPs with desired superior characteristics and multiple functions. In this review, we summarize the works on synthesis methods, bioapplications, biomembrane modification and biosafety of PLNPs and highlight the recent advances in biosensing, imaging and imaging-guided therapy. We further discuss the new types of PLNPs as a newly emerged class of functional biomaterials for multiple applications. Finally, the remaining problems and challenges are discussed with suggestions and prospects for potential future directions in the biomedical applications.
