Abstract
A novel cyclic chalcone fluorescent probe C-PN was synthesized to detect ONOO-. After reaction with peroxynitrite, the double bond of C-PN in the cyclic chalcone structure was disconnected, which caused the change of intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) effect, emitting blue fluorescence and quenching orange red fluorescence. Visible to the naked eye, the color of the probe solution changed. The probe showed low sensitivity (detection limit = 20.2 nm), short response time (less than 60 s) at low concentration of ONOO-, good visibility, and good selectivity and stability for ONOO-.

Abstract
Ultrasound and X-rays possess remarkable tissue penetration capabilities, making them promising candidates for cancer therapy. Sonodynamic therapy, which utilizes ultrasound excitation, offers a safer alternative to radiotherapy and can be combined with X-rays to mitigate the adverse effects on normal tissues. In this study, we developed a bismuth-based heterostructure semiconductor (BFIP) to enhance the efficacy of radiotherapy and sonodynamic therapy in treating breast cancer. The semiconductor is fabricated through a two-step process involving the synthesis of porous spherical bismuth fluoride and partially reduced to bismuth oxyiodide. Then, followed by surface modification with amphiphilic polyethylene glycol, BFIP is fabricated. Incorporating heavy atoms in the BFIP enhances radiosensitivity. The BFIP exhibits superior carrier separation efficiency compared to bismuth fluoride, generating a substantial quantity of reactive oxygen species upon ultrasound stimulation. Moreover, the BFIP effectively depletes glutathione through coordination and hole-mediated oxidation pathways, disrupting the tumor microenvironment and inducing oxidative stress. Encouraging results are acquired in both in vitro cell and in vivo tumor models. Our study provides a de-risking strategy by utilizing ultrasound as a partial substitute for X-rays in treating deep-seated tumors, offering a viable research direction for constructing a unified nanoplatform.

Abstract
Early diagnostics and therapies for diseases such as cancer are limited by the fact that the inducing factors for the development of cytopathies are not clear. The stable polarity of lipid droplets is a potential biomarker for tumor cells; however, the complex intracellular biological environment poses great difficulties for specific detection of the polarity. Therefore, to meet this pressing challenge, we designed a highly selective fluorescent probe, DCI-Cou-polar, which used the ICT mechanism to differentiate normal cells and tumor cells in tissue sections by detecting changes in the polarities of intracellular lipid droplets. The introduction of a cyclic amine at the 7-position of coumarin (benzoquinolizine coumarin) reduced its ability to donate electrons compared with the diethylamino group, which increased the probe selectivity while retaining the sensitivity to polarity. With NIR emission and large Stokes shifts, DCI-Cou-polar has high sensitivity to polarity, excellent photostability, and biocompatibility, and it tracks lipid droplets with high fidelity. Therefore, we believe that this polarity-sensitive probe provides information on the connection between the polarity of lipid droplets and tumors while improving the development of highly selective polarity probes.

Abstract
With the booming development of food manufacturing, developing ideal analytical tools to precisely quantify food additives is highly sought after in the food science field. Herein, a new series of quinoline-derived multifunctional fluorescent probes has been synthesized. Bearing double reactive sites, these compounds display fluorescence response toward both bisulfite (HSO3-) and hypochlorous acid (HClO). Among these compact structures, compound ethyl-2-cyano-3-(6-(methylthio)quinolin-2-yl)acrylate (QTE) was screened out. Probe QTE not only shows ratiometric variation toward HSO3- with little cross talk but also performs turn-off signal toward HClO. In addition, probe QTE has been utilized for bioimaging of HClO in living cells. Furthermore, the HSO3- content in dried food samples has been appraised by QTE with satisfactory results. Meanwhile, relying on the apparent chromaticity change, a flexible dark-box device has been elaborated for chromatic analysis, promoting visualization of HSO3- in the field.

Abstract
Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) possess a large surface area, inherent porosity and high crystallinity. Nevertheless, they lack electron acceptors, which limit the exploitation of their photocatalytic properties. Carbon dots (CDs) known for excellent optical properties can serve as localized electron acceptors. As a novel hybrid nanomaterial, the structure of CDs@MOFs effectively facilitates charge separation and carrier transfer, bring about a marked improvement of photocatalytic activity. In this study, yellow-emission carbon dots (YCDs) were encapsulated within zirconium-based metal organic framework (UiO-66) via a dynamic adsorption method. Compared with blue carbon dots (BCDs), the YCDs@UiO-66 exhibited superior degradation performance. It demonstrates that incorporation of YCDs broadens the UV absorption range of UiO-66, thereby enhancing light utilization. The degradation efficiency of YCDs@UiO-66 was 92.6%, whereas UiO-66 alone achieved only 63.1%. Notably, the results of the radical quenching experiment and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) revealed that h+ and •O2- played a prominent role in the photodegradation of tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH). This study highlights that the introducing YCDs in MOFs-mediated photocatalytic reactions is a viable strategy to improve catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder that devastatingly affects people's lives. Accumulating evidence indicates that the pathological progression of AD is inseparably connected with hypochlorous acid (HClO). However, further exploring the biological function remains an open challenging due to a lack of effective tools to image HClO in AD brains. To this end, a ruthenium(II) luminescence probe, Ru-HClO, is developed for quantitative detection and visualization of HClO in nerve cells and AD brains. Ru-HClO shows quenched luminescence due to the PET process (excited electron transfer from Ru(II) center to diaminomaleonitrile) and the CN bond isomerization in the excited state. The HClO-triggered specific cleavage reaction with Ru-HClO cleaves the CN bond to form highly luminescent Ru-COOH. Ru-HClO shows rapid response speed, high sensitivity and selectivity, excellent biocompatibility, which makes the probe to be applied to semi-quantitative analysis of HClO in nerve cells and high-throughput screening of anti-AD drugs in the AD cell model. Moreover, using Ru-HClO as a probe, present work further validated that the elevated levels of HClO secretion were accompanied by the AD progressed. These findings may provide valuable results for figuring out the biological roles that HClO played in AD but also for accelerating anti-AD therapeutic discovery.

Abstract
Mitochondrial hypochlorite (ClO-) plays important and often contradictory roles in maintaining the redox balance of mitochondria. Abnormal ClO- levels can induce mitochondrial inactivation and further cause cell apoptosis. Herein, we have developed an anthracene carboxyimide-based fluorescent probe mito-ACS for imaging mitochondrial ClO- in living cells. This probe exhibits some distinctive features as excellent resistance to photobleaching, high selectivity and sensitivity, as well as good water solubility. Mito-ACS showed a noticeable fluorescence response toward ClO- with a fast response (within 6 s) and a low detection limit (23 nM). Moreover, the introduction of triphenylphosphonium makes the probe soluble in water and selectively localizes to mitochondria. Furthermore, mito-ACS was successfully applied to image mitochondria ClO- in living cells with low toxicity. Remarkably. the less used fluorophore anthracene carboxyimide exhibiting excellent photostability and desirable optical properties provides a promising application prospect in biological systems.

Abstract
Using chitosan as a raw material, 1,8-naphthimide as the fluorescent chromophore, and sulfur-containing compounds as the recognition groups, a novel naphthimide-functionalized chitosan probe, CS-BNS, for the detection of ClO- was successfully synthesized. The modification of chitosan was verified by SEM, XRD, FTIR, mapping, 13C-NMR, TG and the structure of the probe molecule was characterized. The identification performance of the probes was studied using UV and fluorescence spectrophotometers. The results show that CS-BNS exhibits a specific response to ClO- based on the oxidative reaction of ClO- to the recognition motifs, as well as a good resistance to interference. And the probe has high sensitivity and fast response time, and can complete the detection of ClO- in a pure water system within 60 s. The probe can also quantify ClO- (y = 30.698x + 532.37, R2 = 0.9833) with a detection limit as low as 0.27 μM. In addition, the combination of the probe with smartphone technology enables the visualization and real-time monitoring of ClO-. Moreover, an identification system for ClO- was established by combining the probe with smartphone technology, which realized the visualization and real-time monitoring of ClO-.

Abstract
Over the past few decades, drug-induced liver damage (DILI) has become a serious public health problem due to drug abuse. Among multifarious reactive oxygen species, mounting evidence attests that ClO- has been used as a potential biomarker in DILI. In this work, a new "turn-on" fluorescent probe 1 was designed and synthesized by modifying 4'-hydroxybiphenyl-4-carbonitrile (dye 2) with N, N-dimethylthiocarbamate as a response site for detecting ClO-. Probe 1 displayed a low detection limit (72 nM), fast response time (30 s), wide pH operating range (6-8), great tissue penetration, large Stokes shift (125 nm) and 291-fold fluorescence enhancement at 475 nm in the mapping of ClO-. Probe 1 could trace amounts of exogenous and endogenous ClO- with high sensitivity in MCF-7 cells and HeLa cells. Expectantly, the fluoxetine-induced liver injury model is successfully established, and probe 1 has been used for detecting the fluctuation of ClO- levels in the mouse model of fluoxetine-induced liver injury. All in all, probe 1 with its high specificity, good biological compatibility and liver tissue penetration ability is expected to assist with the early diagnosis of DILI and the clinical screening of various new drugs. We expect that probe 1 could be efficiently used as a powerful molecular tool to predict clinical DILI and explore molecular mechanisms between molecules and disease.

Abstract
The Golgi apparatus (GA) is a vital organelle in biological systems and excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) is produced during stress in the Golgi apparatus. Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a significant reactive oxygen species and has strong oxidative and antibacterial activity, but excessive secretion of hypochlorous acid can affect Golgi structure or function abnormally, it will lead to a series of diseases including Alzheimer's disease, neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, and Parkinson's disease. In present work, a novel fluorescent probe for Golgi localization utilizing naphthalimide derivatives was constructed to detect hypochlorous acid. The fluorescent probe used a derivatived 1,8-naphthalimide as the emitting fluorescence group, phenylsulfonamide as the localization group and dimethylthiocarbamate as the sensing unit. When HOCl was absent, the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) process of the developed probe was hindered and the probe exhibited a weak fluorescence. When HOCl was present, the ICT process occurred and the probe showed strong green fluorescence. When the HOCl concentration was altered from 5.0 × 10-7 to 1.0 × 10-5 mol·L-1, the fluorescence intensity of the probe well linearly correlated with the HOCl concentration. The detection limit of 5.7 × 10-8 mol·L-1 was obtained for HOCl. The HOCl fluorescent probe possessed a rapid reaction time, a high selectivity and a broad working pH scope. In addition, the probe possessed good biocompatibility and had been magnificently employed to image Golgi HOCl in Hela cells. These characteristics of the probe demonstrated its ability to be used for sensing endogenous and exogenous hypochlorous acids within the Golgi apparatus of living cells.

Abstract
The carbon nanomaterial based fluorescent probes have been widely applied in biological imaging. In the current research, we propose an interesting strategy for selective sensing of hypochlorite (ClO-) by a water-soluble and highly fluorescent nanosensor based on the N-doped carbon quantum dots (CDs) which was fabricated by a facile and environmental friendly hydrothermal approach from polyvinyl pyrrolidone, L-arginine and tryptophan. The structural characteristics of the probe were measured by multitudinous methods which proved the nanometer spherical structure of the probe and the successfully N-doping. Fluorescent investigation demonstrated that the probe is not only highly stable under interferences of pH, ionic strength, and irradiation, but also significantly selective toward ClO- amongst a variety of attractive bioactive species through the fluorescent quenching process which was correlative with the concentration of ClO- and linearly in the range of 0.1-50 μmol·L-1 with the sensitivity of 0.03 μmol·L-1. The probe can also be further illustrated in a prospective application for determination of ClO- in environmental water through both solution response and filer paper sensing. Moreover, the positive biocompatibility and ignorable cytotoxicity made the probe a promising effective agent for detection and visualizing ClO- in living cells which can facilitate the understanding the oxidative stress from the overexpressing ClO-.

Abstract
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in numerous pathological processes and their homeostasis facilitates the dynamic balance of intracellular redox states. Among ROS, hypobromous acid (HOBr) has a high similarity to hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in both chemical and physical properties, whereas it has received relatively little attention. Meanwhile, selective recognition of endogenous HOBr suffers great challenges due to the fact that the concentration of this molecule is much lower than that of HOCl. Fluorescence-based detection systems have emerged as very important tools to monitor biomolecules in living cells and organisms owing to distinct advantages, particularly the temporal and spatial sampling for in vivo imaging applications. To date, the development of HOBr-specific fluorescent probes is still proceeding quite slowly, and the research related to this area has not been systematically summarized. In this review, we are the first to review the progress made so far in fluorescent probes for selective recognition and detection of HOBr. The molecular structures, sensing mechanisms, and their successful applications of these probes as bioimaging agents are discussed here in detail. Importantly, we hope this review will call for more attention to this rising field, and that this could stimulate new future achievements.
