Abstract
Efficient separation, enrichment, and detection of bacteria in diverse media are pivotal for identifying bacterial diseases and their transmission pathways. However, conventional bacterial detection methods that split the separation and detection steps are plagued by prolonged processing times. Herein, a multistage annular functionalized carbon nanotube array device designed for the seamless integration of complex biological sample separation and multimarker detection is introduced. This device resorts to the supersmooth fluidity of the liquid sample in the carbon nanotubes interstice through rotation assistance, achieving the ability to quickly separate impurities and capture biomarkers (1 mL sample cost time of 2.5 s). Fluid dynamics simulations show that the reduction of near-surface hydrodynamic resistance drives the capture of bacteria and related biomarkers on the functionalized surface of carbon nanotube in sufficient time. When further assembled as an even detection device, it exhibited fast detection (<30 min), robust linear correlation (101-107 colony-forming units [CFU] mL-1, R2 = 0.997), ultrasensitivity (limit of detection = 1.7 CFU mL-1), and multitarget detection (Staphylococcus aureus, extracellular vesicles, and enterotoxin proteins). Collectively, the material and system offer an expanded platform for real-time diagnostics, enabling integrated rapid separation and detection of various disease biomarkers.

Abstract
Treatment of diabetic wounds is a significant clinical challenge due to the massive infections caused by bacteria. In this study, multifunctional glycol chitosan and polydopamine-coated BiO1-x I (GPBO) nanoparticles (NPs) with near-infrared (NIR) photothermal and photocatalytic abilities are prepared. When infection occurs, the local microenvironment becomes acidic, and the pH-switchable GPBO can target the bacteria of the wound site. The NIR-assisted GPBO treatment exhibits anti-bacterial effects with fast response, high efficiency, and long duration to Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus. GPBO achieves excellent photothermal imaging and CT imaging of the mouse subcutaneous abscess model. With the assistance of NIR irradiation, the GPBO promotes the healing of the diabetic wound model with the effects of anti-bacteria, anti-inflammation, the M2 polarization promotion of macrophages, and angiogenesis. This is the first-time report of nano-sized BiO1-x I. The synthesis and selected application for the imaging and targeted therapy of diabetic wounds are presented. This study offers an example of the NP-assisted precise diagnosis and therapy of bacterial infection diseases.

Abstract
Hydrogels are known to have the advantages such as good biodegradability, biocompatibility, and easy functionalization, making them ideal candidates for biosensors. Hydrogel-based biosensors that respond to bacteria-induced microenvironmental changes such as pH, enzymes, antigens, etc., or directly interact with bacterial surface receptors, can be applied for early diagnosis of bacterial infections, providing information for timely treatment while avoiding antibiotic abuse. Furthermore, hydrogel biosensors capable of both bacteria diagnosis and treatment will greatly facilitate the development of point-of-care monitoring of bacterial infections. In this review, the recent advancement of hydrogel-based biosensors for bacterial infection is summarized and discussed. First, the biosensors based on pH-sensitive hydrogels, bacterial-specific secretions-sensitive hydrogels, and hydrogels directly in contact with bacterial surfaces are presented. Next, hydrogel biosensors capable of detecting bacterial infection in the early stage followed by immediate on-demand treatment are discussed. Finally, the challenges and future development of hydrogel biosensors for bacterial infections are proposed.

Abstract
Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) universally exists in all living organisms and holds a paramount role as a fundamental energy molecule in daily life. The abnormal concentration of ATP is closely related to many diseases, making the highly efficient detection of ATP very urgent. In this study, a dual-mode sensing system was developed to detect ATP sensitively and selectively via both DPV and fluorescence (FL) techniques, based on the strong interaction of ATP and Zn (II) nodes of zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90). The disassembly of ZIF-90 further induced the subsequent release of pre-loaded rhodamine B (RhB). Benefitting from the robust host-guest recognition of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) towards RhB, an enzyme-free and highly specific DPV detection strategy was established with the linear detecting range of 10.0-1.0 × 108 pM and the limit of detection (LOD) as low as 0.13 pM. Meanwhile, the FL sensing mode based on RhB exhibits comparable sensing performance with the linearity range of 10.0-1.0 × 107 pM and the LOD of 0.29 pM. Furthermore, the enzyme-free ATP sensing system exhibit outstanding long-term storage stability. The two-mode sensing platform was successfully applied to detect the ATP in human serum samples with the yielded result highly agree with the results of commercial ELISA kits. This dual-mode sensing platform is inspiring and paves the road for developing high-performance biosensor, demonstrating enormous potential for vitro diagnosis and practice clinic.

Abstract
Chronic diabetic wounds have been an urgent clinical problem, and wound dressings play an important role in their management. Due to the design of traditional dressings, it is difficult to achieve adaptive adhesion and on-demand removal of complex diabetic wounds, real-time monitoring of wound status, and dynamic adjustment of drug release behavior according to the wound microenvironment. Smart hydrogels, as smart dressings, can respond to environmental stimuli and achieve more precise local treatment. Here, we review the latest progress of smart hydrogels in wound bandaging, dynamic monitoring, and drug delivery for treatment of diabetic wounds. It is worth noting that we have summarized the most important properties of smart hydrogels for diabetic wound healing. In addition, we discuss the unresolved challenges and future prospects in this field. We hope that this review will contribute to furthering progress on smart hydrogels as improved dressing for diabetic wound healing and practical clinical application.

Abstract
Wound infections hinder the healing process and potentially result in life-threatening complications, which urgently require rapid and timely detection and treatment pathogens during the early stages of infection. Here, an intelligent wound dressing was developed to enable in situ detection and elimination of pathogenic bacteria through a combination of point-of-care testing and antibacterial photodynamic therapy technology. The dressing is an injectable hydrogel composed of carboxymethyl chitosan and oxidized sodium alginate, with addition of 4-methylumphulone beta-D-glucoside (MUG) and up-converted nanoparticles coated with titanium dioxide (UCNPs@TiO2). The presence of bacteria can be visually detected by monitoring the blue fluorescence of 4-methylumbellione, generated through the reaction between MUG and the pathogen-associated enzyme. The UCNPs@TiO2 photosensitizers were synthesized and demonstrated high antibacterial activity through the generation of reactive oxygen species when exposed to near-infrared irradiation. Meanwhile, a smartphone-based portable detection system equipped with a self-developed Android app was constructed for in situ detection of pathogens in mere seconds, detecting as few as 103 colony-forming unit. Additionally, the dressing was tested in a rat infected wound model and showed good antibacterial activity and pro-healing ability. These results suggest that the proposed intelligent wound dressing has potential for use in the diagnosis and management of wound infections. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: An intelligent wound dressing has been prepared for simultaneous in situ detection and elimination of pathogenic bacteria. The presence of bacteria can be visually detected by tracking the blue fluorescence of the dressing. Moreover, a smartphone-based detection system was constructed to detect and diagnose pathogenic bacteria before reaching the infection limit. Meanwhile, the dressing was able to effectively eliminate key pathogenic bacteria on demand through antibacterial photodynamic therapy under NIR irradiation. The proposed intelligent wound dressing enables timely detection and treatment of infectious pathogens at an early stage, which is beneficial for wound management.

Abstract
With the sharp rise of antibiotic-resistant pathogens worldwide, it is of enormous importance to create new strategies for combating pathogenic bacteria. Here, we create an iron oxide-based spiky artificial peroxidase (POD) with V-O-Fe pair sites (V-Fe2 O3 ) for combating methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). The experimental studies and theoretical calculations demonstrate that the V-Fe2 O3 can achieve the localized "capture and killing" bifunction from the spiky morphology and massive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. The V-Fe2 O3 can reach nearly 100 % bacterial inhibition over a long period by efficiently oxidizing the lipid membrane. Our wound disinfection results identify that the V-Fe2 O3 can not only efficiently eliminate MRSA and their biofilm but also accelerate wound recovery without causing noticeable inflammation and toxicity. This work offers essential insights into the critical roles of V-O-Fe pair sites and localized "capture and killing" in biocatalytic disinfection and provides a promising pathway for the de novo design of efficient artificial peroxidases.

Abstract
Formaldehyde is ubiquitously found in the environment, meaning that real-time monitoring of formaldehyde, particularly indoors, can have a significant impact on human health. However, the performance of commercially available interdigital electrode-based sensors is a compromise between active material loading and steric hindrance. In this work, a spaced TiO2 nanotube array (NTA) was exploited as a scaffold and electron collector in a formaldehyde sensor for the first time. A Sn-based metal-organic framework was successfully decorated on the inside and outside of TiO2 nanotube walls by a facile solvothermal decoration strategy. This was followed by regulated calcination, which successfully integrated the preconcentration effect of a porous Sn-based metal-organic framework (SnMOF) structure and highly active SnO2 nanocrystals into the spaced TiO2 NTA to form a Schottky heterojunction-type gas sensor. This SnMOF/SnO2@TiO2 NTA sensor achieved a high room-temperature formaldehyde response (1.7 at 6 ppm) with a fast response (4.0 s) and recovery (2.5 s) times. This work provides a new platform for preparing alternatives to interdigital electrode-based sensors and offers an effective strategy for achieving target preconcentrations for gas sensing processes. The as-prepared SnMOF/SnO2@TiO2 NTA sensor demonstrated excellent sensitivity, stability, reproducibility, flexibility, and convenience, showing excellent potential as a miniaturized device for medical diagnosis, environmental monitoring, and other intelligent sensing systems.

Abstract
A dual-mode pH sensor based on nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) with the source of o-phenylenediamine and tryptophan has been constructed. Under the stimulation of pH, the N-CDs exhibited prominent both color and fluorescence changes, leading to the rarely discovered colorimetric and fluorescent dual-readouts for the evaluation of pH. The mathematic relationship was established between pH and fluorescence intensity of N-CDs, and between pH and the UV-Vis absorbance ratio at 630 nm and 488 nm of N-CDs, respectively, over a quite broad pH range of 2.2 to 12.0. Multiple techniques are used to explore the dual-mode pH-responsive mechanism, and the preliminary explanation is put forward. The experimental results show that the N-CDs have visualized pH sensing applicability for actual samples, including various water samples and HeLa cell. Furthermore, the N-CD ink is developed for successful information encryption and anti-counterfeiting. This work might provide valuable insights into the sensing mechanism of CDs, and the application potential of CDs in broader fields.
