World J Hepatol 2024; 16:550-565.

Abstract
The management of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection now involves regular and appropriate monitoring of viral activity, disease progression, and treatment response. Traditional HBV infection biomarkers are limited in their ability to predict clinical outcomes or therapeutic effectiveness. Quantitation of HBV core antibodies (qAnti-HBc) is a novel non-invasive biomarker that may help with a variety of diagnostic issues. It was shown to correlate strongly with infection stages, hepatic inflammation and fibrosis, chronic infection exacerbations, and the presence of occult infection. Furthermore, qAnti-HBc levels were shown to be predictive of spontaneous or treatment-induced HBeAg and HBsAg seroclearance, relapse after medication termination, re-infection following liver transplantation, and viral reactivation in the presence of immunosuppression. qAnti-HBc, on the other hand, cannot be relied on as a single diagnostic test to address all problems, and its diagnostic and prognostic potential may be greatly increased when paired with qHBsAg. Commercial qAnti-HBc diagnostic kits are currently not widely available. Because many methodologies are only semi-quantitative, comparing data from various studies and defining universal cut-off values remains difficult. This review focuses on the clinical utility of qAnti-HBc and qHBsAg in chronic hepatitis B management.

Discriminative detection of soman or VX exposure using europium chelated microparticle-based immunofluorescence microfluidic chip. Anal Biochem 2024; 685:115388.

Abstract
The retrospective detection of organophosphorus nerve agents (OPNAs) exposure has been achieved by the off-site analysis of OPNA-human serum albumin (HSA) adducts using mass spectrometry-based detection approaches. However, few specific methods are accessible for on-site detection. To address this, a novel immunofluorescence microfluidic chip (IFMC) testing system combining europium chelated microparticle (EuCM) with self-driven microfluidic chip assay has been established to unambiguously determine soman (GD) and VX exposure within 20 min, respectively. The detection system was based on the principle of indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The specific monoclonal antibodies that respectively recognized the phosphonylated tyrosine 411 of GD-HSA and VX-HSA adducts were labeled by EuCM to capture corresponding adducts in the exposed samples. The phosphonylated peptides in the test line and goat-anti-rabbit antibody in the control line were utilized to bind the EuCM-labeled antibodies for signal exhibition. The developed IFMC chip could discriminatively detect exposed HSA adducts with high specificity, demonstrating a low limit of detection at exposure concentrations of 0.5 × 10-6 mol/L VX and 1.0 × 10-6 mol/L GD. The exposed serum samples can be qualitatively detected following an additional pretreatment procedure. This is a novel rapid detection system capable of discriminating GD and VX exposure, providing an alternative method for rapidly identifying OPNA exposure.

Abstract
Lateral Flow Assays (LFA) have been one of the most widely adopted technologies in clinical diagnosis over recent years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to their feasibility, compactness, and rapid readout. However, the precise dispensing of antibodies-a key part of the fabrication process-requires costly line dispenser equipment, which poses a challenge to researchers with limited budgets. This study aims to resolve this key issue by introducing a Syringe-based Arduino-operated Low-cost Antibody Dispenser (SALAD). By utilizing a microneedle, stepper motor-driven syringe pump, and conveyor belt, SALAD can form micro-droplets to create an even band of antibodies. Our evaluation results showed comparable performance between SALAD and a commercialized model - Claremont ALFRD, with SALAD exceeding in affordability and feasibility. SALAD yielded an even signal, uniform bandwidth, and low background noise, yet optimization in the conveyor belt should be considered to enhance stability. With a low manufacturing cost ($200.61) compared to the commercialized models, our model is expected to provide an affordable approach for LFA researchers.

Abstract
Folic acid (FA) is an ingredient that must be added to infant milk powder to avoid potential defects. Rapid, sensitive and reliable detection methods are needed to determined FA addition levels. Thus, this study established a microsphere immunochromatographic test strip for time-resolved luminescence detection (TRLM-ICTS) based on carboxyl-functionalized time-resolved luminescent microspheres (Eu-TRLMs) prepared by a one-step method as fluorescent markers for the immediate quantitative detection of FA in milk powder. Eu-TRLMs prepared by the one-step method showed good dispersion, high stability and strong fluorescence intensity, which is improving the sensitivity of TRLM-ICTS. In the performance evaluation of TRLM-ICTS, the detection limit was 0.487 ng mL-1, the recovery rate was 97.3-105 %, and the actual sample detection results were in line with those of UPLC-MS/MS. TRLM-ICTS has the advantages of rapid, high sensitivity and strong specificity and could as a practical quantitative detection method for the detection of FA in milk powder.

Abstract
From acute to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular cancer, hepatitis B infection causes a broad spectrum of liver diseases. Molecular and serological tests have been used to diagnose hepatitis B-related illnesses. Due to technology limitations, it is challenging to identify hepatitis B infection cases at an early stage, particularly in a low- and middle-income country with constrained resources. Generally, the gold-standard methods to detect hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection requires dedicated personnel, bulky, expensive equipment and reagents, and long processing times which delay the diagnosis of HBV. Thus, lateral flow assay (LFA), which is inexpensive, straightforward, portable, and operates reliably, has dominated point-of-care diagnostics. LFA consists of four parts: a sample pad where samples are dropped; a conjugate pad where labeled tags and biomarker components are combined; a nitrocellulose membrane with test and control lines for target DNA-probe DNA hybridization or antigen-antibody interaction; and a wicking pad where waste is stored. By modifying the pre-treatment during the sample preparation process or enhancing the signal of the biomarker probes on the membrane pad, the accuracy of the LFA for qualitative and quantitative analysis can be improved. In this review, we assembled the most recent developments in LFA technologies for the progress of hepatitis B infection detection. Prospects for ongoing development in this area are also covered.

Abstract
The biological functions of rare-earth elements (REEs) have become a focus of intense research. Recent studies have demonstrated that ion doping or alloying of some REEs can optimize the properties of traditional biomaterials. Europium (Eu), which is an REE with low toxicity and good biocompatibility, has promising applications in biomedicine. This article systematically reviews the osteogenic, angiogenic, neuritogenic, antibacterial, and anti-tumor properties of Eu-containing biomaterials, thereby paving the way for biomedical applications of Eu. Data collection for this review was completed in October 2022, and 30 relevant articles were finally included. Most articles indicated that doping of Eu ions or Eu-compound nanoparticles in biomaterials can improve their osteogenic, angiogenic, neuritogenic, antibacterial, and anti-tumor properties. The angiogenic, antibacterial, and potential neuritogenic effects of Eu(OH)3 nanoparticles have also been demonstrated.

Clinical Utility of Quantitative HBV Core Antibodies for Solving Diagnostic Dilemmas. Viruses 2023; 15:v15020373.

Abstract
The present-day management of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection relies on constant and appropriate monitoring of viral activity, disease progression and treatment response. Traditional HBV infection biomarkers have many limitations in predicting clinical outcomes or therapy success. Quantitation of HBV core antibodies (qAnti-HBc) is a new non-invasive biomarker that can be used in solving multiple diagnostic problems. It was shown to correlate well with infection phases, level of hepatic inflammation and fibrosis, exacerbations during chronic infection and presence of occult infection. Further, the level of qAnti-HBc was recognised as predictive of spontaneous or therapy-induced HBeAg and HBsAg seroclearance, relapse after therapy discontinuation, re-infection after liver transplantation and viral reactivation upon immunosuppression. However, qAnti-HBc cannot be relied upon as a single diagnostic test to solve all dilemmas, and its diagnostic and prognostic power can be much improved when combined with other diagnostic biomarkers (HBV DNA, HBeAg, qHBsAg and anti-HBs antibodies). The availability of commercial qAnti-HBc diagnostic kits still needs to be improved. The comparison of results from different studies and definitions of universal cut-off values continue to be hindered because many methods are only semi-quantitative. The clinical utility of qAnti-HBc and the methods used for its measurement are the focus of this review.

Abstract
Trichinellosis is a major food-borne parasitosis caused by ingesting raw or semi-raw meat products from pigs infected with Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis). Although China is the largest consumer of pork in the world, the current diagnostic method of T. spiralis is exclusively performed in a laboratory setting, due to its complexity and laborious procedure. Here, in order to solve the detection problems in the pig breeding industry, a rapid, sensitive, and on-site serological diagnosis method was developed. The novel lateral flow immunoassay strip (ICS) is based on europium(III) chelate microparticle (ECM) to detect T. spiralis-specific IgG antibody in the serum and whole blood samples from pigs. The structure of the blood-filtering pad and the conjugate pad was added to the ICS, allowing for whole blood samples to be detected and enabling on-site deployment. By comparing the detection results of the serum samples and the whole blood samples, the detection limit of this method was evaluated. Thereafter, this method was used to investigate Trichinella infection in Chongqing, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, and Liaoning provinces of China, and the results were almost consistent with the standard method of artificial digestion. Taking advantage of its user-friendly procedure, short detection time (3 min), and sensitivity, the ECM-ICS could be employed for monitoring the epidemic of Trichinella infection and ensuring meat safety.

Abstract
Sensitivity, specificity, mobility, and affordability are important criteria to consider for developing diagnostic instruments in common use. Fluorescence spectroscopy has been demonstrating substantial potential in the clinical diagnosis of diseases and evaluating the underlying causes of pathogenesis. A higher degree of device integration with appropriate sensitivity and reasonable cost would further boost the value of the fluorescence techniques in clinical diagnosis and aid in the reduction of healthcare expenses, which is a key economic concern in emerging markets. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs), which are inexpensive and smaller are attractive alternatives to conventional excitation sources in fluorescence spectroscopy, are gaining a lot of momentum in the development of affordable, compact analytical instruments of clinical relevance. The commercial availability of a broad range of LED wavelengths (255-4600 nm) has opened up new avenues for targeting a wide range of clinically significant molecules (both endogenous and exogenous), thereby diagnosing a range of clinical illnesses. As a result, we have specifically examined the uses of LED-induced fluorescence (LED-IF) in preclinical and clinical evaluations of pathological conditions, considering the present advancements in the field.

Abstract
The lateral flow assay (LFA) is a point-of-care diagnostic test commonly available in an over-the-counter format because of its simplicity, speed, low cost, and portability. The reporter particles in these assays are among their most significant components because they perform the diagnostic readout and dictate the test's sensitivity. Today, gold nanoparticles are frequently used as reporters, but recent work focusing on photoluminescent-based reporter technologies has pushed LFAs to better performance. These efforts have focused specifically on reporters made of organic fluorophores, quantum dots, lanthanide chelates, persistent luminescent phosphors, and upconversion phosphors. In most cases, photoluminescent reporters show enhanced sensitivity compared to conventional gold nanoparticle-based assays. Here, we examine the advantages and disadvantages of these different reporters and highlight their potential benefits in LFAs. Our assessment shows that photoluminescent-based LFAs can not only reach lower detection limits than LFAs with traditional reporters, but they also can be capable of quantitative and multiplex analyte detection. As a result, the photoluminescent reporters make LFAs well-suited for medical diagnostics, the food and agricultural industry, and environmental testing.

Development of a rapid and sensitive immunochromatographic strip based on EuNPs-ES fluorescent probe for the detection of early Trichinella spiralis-specific IgG antibody in pigs. Vet Res 2021; 52:85. [PMID: 34116710 PMCID: PMC8196438 DOI: 10.1186/s13567-021-00951-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2021] [Accepted: 05/12/2021] [Indexed: 01/03/2023] Open
Abstract
Trichinellosis, which is caused by nematodes of the genus Trichinella, is one of the most important zoonotic parasite diseases in the world. A rapid and sensitive immunochromatographic strip (ICS) based on Eu (III) nanoparticles (EuNPs) was developed for the detection of Trichinella spiralis (T. spiralis) infection in pigs. T. spiralis muscle larvae excretory secretory or preadult worm excretory secretory (ML-ES or PAW-ES) antigens were conjugated with EuNPs probes to capture T. spiralis-specific antibodies in pig sera, after which the complex bound to mouse anti-pig IgG deposited on the test line (T-line), producing a fluorescent signal. In the pigs infected with 100, 1000 and 10 000 ML, seroconversion was first detectable for the EuNPs-ML-ES ICS at 30, 25 and 21 days post-infection (dpi) and for the EuNPs-PAW-ES ICS at 25, 21 and 17 dpi. These results show that EuNPs-PAW-ES ICS detects anti-Trichinella IgG in pigs 4–5 days earlier that test using ML-ES antigens. Our ICS have no cross reaction with other parasite infection sera. Furthermore, the detection process could be completed in 10 min. This study indicated that our ICS can be used for the detection of the circulating antibodies in early T. spiralis infection and provide a novel method for on-site detection of T. spiralis infection in pigs.

Abstract
Viruses are ubiquitous in the environment. While many impart no deleterious effects on their hosts, several are major pathogens. This risk of pathogenicity, alongside the fact that many viruses can rapidly mutate highlights the need for suitable, rapid diagnostic measures. This review provides a critical analysis of widely used methods and examines their advantages and limitations. Currently, nucleic-acid detection and immunoassay methods are among the most popular means for quickly identifying viral infection directly from source. Nucleic acid-based detection generally offers high sensitivity, but can be time-consuming, costly, and require trained staff. The use of isothermal-based amplification systems for detection could aid in the reduction of results turnaround and equipment-associated costs, making them appealing for point-of-use applications, or when high volume/fast turnaround testing is required. Alternatively, immunoassays offer robustness and reduced costs. Furthermore, some immunoassay formats, such as those using lateral-flow technology, can generate results very rapidly. However, immunoassays typically cannot achieve comparable sensitivity to nucleic acid-based detection methods. Alongside these methods, the application of next-generation sequencing can provide highly specific results. In addition, the ability to sequence large numbers of viral genomes would provide researchers with enhanced information and assist in tracing infections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the analytical performance of our previously developed chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) kit for the detection of procalcitonin (PCT) and compare with the results obtained using the Vidas B.R.A.H.M.S. PCT™ test (PCT-V). DESIGN AND METHODS Our laboratory previously designed a novel CLIA kit and supporting instrument (AE-180) for the detection of PCT. We analyzed the clinical performance of this system, including the imprecision, limit of detection, and linearity of analyses of 305 serum specimens. The results were compared with measurements of the same serum samples obtained with PCT-V. RESULTS The limit of detection and blank of our kit were 0.0075 and 0.0039 ng/mL, respectively. The intra- and inter-assay coefficient of variation of the kit were both between 0.8% and 3.9%. The equation of linearity was found to be y = 1.03× + 0.06 (r = 0.99) for concentrations in the range of 0.01-110 ng/mL. The correlation coefficient with the results of PCT-V was 0.995, and the equation obtained for Passing and Bablok regression analysis was 1.061 for our CLIA PCT kit and - 0.003 for PCT-V. Our kit slightly overestimated the concentration according to comparison with PCT-V results. CONCLUSION The kit that was previously developed in our laboratory for the measurement of serum PCT concentration using CLIA technology shows excellent performance, just that the functional sensitivity is not as good as the PCT-V; therefore, we suggest that this kit is suitable for clinical use.

Time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer-based lateral flow immunoassay using a raspberry-type europium particle and a single membrane for the detection of cardiac troponin I. Biosens Bioelectron 2020; 163:112284. [PMID: 32421632 DOI: 10.1016/j.bios.2020.112284] [Citation(s) in RCA: 45] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/06/2020] [Revised: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 05/07/2020] [Indexed: 01/01/2023]
Abstract
Herein, we report a novel lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) system for detecting cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in serum using the time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) technique and the fusion 5 membrane. The fusion 5 membrane is used as a strip for LFIA, and it is constructed without additional matrices (such as a sample or conjugation pad). Although this strategy for constructing the LFIA strip is quite simple and cost-effective, LFIA is still not suitable for the analysis of biomarkers that require high sensitivity, such as cTnI. Therefore, the highly sensitive TR-FRET technique is integrated with a fusion 5 membrane-based LFIA strip. To accomplish this, a microparticle covered with europium chelate-contained silica nanoparticles is synthesized as a raspberry-type particle and used as a fluorescence donor. A gold nanorod (GNR) is used as a fluorescence acceptor particle. In the TR-FRET-based LFIA system, the competitive immunoassay should be performed to satisfy the condition required for the FRET phenomenon to occur. Therefore, the fluorescence signal is proportional to the cTnI concentration, ensuring a quantitative analysis of cTnI can be accomplished by measuring the fluorescence signal between the raspberry-type europium particles and GNR. Using the developed TR-FRET-based LFIA system, sensitive detection of cTnI is successfully achieved with a limit of detection of 97 pg/mL in human serum. Moreover, because the result can be obtained using one matrix (the fusion 5 membrane), the developed LFIA system can be employed in cTnI diagnosis with a simple manufacturing process.

Abstract
Bladder cancer is a common malignant tumour with high recurrence rate. Cytokeratin 19 fragments (Cyfra21-1) in urine has been regarded as a promising biomarker for the prognosis and diagnosis of bladder cancer due to the relevance of its high urinary level to the bladder cancer patients. However, currently detection methods of Cyfra21-1 have their limits, such as complicated steps, limited sensitivity or unsatisfying specificity. In this study, we developed a novel time-resolved fluoroimmuno test strip by using europium chelate microparticle (Eu-CM). Detection was performed in simple steps by carrying drops of sample into the well of the test strip, waiting for 15 min and inserting the strip into a fluorescence strip reader for quantitation. The standard curve equation of the test strip was y = 0.0177x + 0.01 (R2 = .9993). In the analysis of human urine samples (n = 115), it demonstrated a good performance (accuracy: CV < 10%, AUC: 0.989). With the cut-off value of 81 ng/mL, the sensitivity and specificity for bladder cancer were 92.86 and 100%, respectively. In comparison to ELISA and electrochemiluminescence methods, the Eu-CM based time-resolved fluoroimmuno test strip provided a rapid, sensitive and reliable method for monitoring bladder cancer. It may be applied as a non-invasive approach for in point-of-care for bladder cancer detection.

Differential diagnosis of PRV-infected versus vaccinated pigs using a novel EuNPs-virus antigen probe-based blocking fluorescent lateral flow immunoassay. Biosens Bioelectron 2020; 155:112101.

Abstract
A novel time-resolved fluorescence blocking lateral flow immunoassay (TRF-BLFIA) was developed for on-site differential diagnosis of pseudorabies virus (PRV)-infected and vaccinated pigs using europium nanoparticles (EuNPs)-labeled virion antigens and high titer PRV gE monoclonal antibodies (PRV gE-mAb). Upon application of a positive serum sample, the specific epitopes of gE protein on the EuNPs-PRV probe were blocked, inhibiting binding to the PRV gE-mAb on the T line, resulting in low or negligible fluorescence signal, whereas when a negative sample was applied, EuNPs-PRV probes would be able to bind the antibody at the T line, leading to high fluorescence signal. Under optimized conditions, TRF-BLFIA provided excellent sensitivity and selectivity. When testing swine clinical samples (n = 356), there was 96.1% agreement between this method and a most widely used commercial gE-ELISA kit. Moreover, our method was rapid (15 min), cost-efficient and easy to operate with simple training, allowing for on-site detection. Thus, TRF-BLFIA could be a practical tool to differentially diagnose PRV-infected and vaccinated pigs.

Abstract
The lateral flow immunoassay test (LFT), as a method of a point of care test, is widely used in disease diagnosis, food security, and environment observation due to its portability and testing rapidity. A fluorescence lateral flow immunoassay was developed recently to enhance the sensitivity and accuracy of the LFT. However, for most fluorescence reporters, their emission and excitation wavelengths are located in the ultraviolet or visible region. Serum or whole blood significantly absorbs and scatters light of this region, and this will result in background signal interference. In this study, we replace traditional fluorescence reporters with near-infrared lanthanide-doped nanoparticles (NIR-RENPs) to establish a NIR-LFT platform. Blood and other biological samples scatter and absorb less near-infrared light than visible light, and the autofluorescence of biological samples is rarely located in this region. Therefore, using NIR light as a signal can diminish the interference of background noise and suffer from less signal attenuation. In addition, compared with commonly used NIR organic dye, NIR-RENPs have better stability. It is promising that lateral flow immunoassays based on NIR lanthanide-doped nanoparticles are able to acquire a lower detection limit and better accuracy, and they are more suitable for application in commercial settings.

Abstract
Infectious diseases claim millions of lives each year. Robust and accurate diagnostics are essential tools for identifying those who are at risk and in need of treatment in low-resource settings. Inorganic complexes and metal-based nanomaterials continue to drive the development of diagnostic platforms and strategies that enable infectious disease detection in low-resource settings. In this review, we highlight works from the past 20 years in which inorganic chemistry and nanotechnology were implemented in each of the core components that make up a diagnostic test. First, we present how inorganic biomarkers and their properties are leveraged for infectious disease detection. In the following section, we detail metal-based technologies that have been employed for sample preparation and biomarker isolation from sample matrices. We then describe how inorganic- and nanomaterial-based probes have been utilized in point-of-care diagnostics for signal generation. The following section discusses instrumentation for signal readout in resource-limited settings. Next, we highlight the detection of nucleic acids at the point of care as an emerging application of inorganic chemistry. Lastly, we consider the challenges that remain for translation of the aforementioned diagnostic platforms to low-resource settings.

Abstract
In this research, we developed a rapid and easy-to-operate point-of-care testing (POCT) strip based on fluorescent affinity immunochromatography to quantitatively determine HbA1c concentrations in whole blood. This assay, based on a sandwich method performed on test strips, effectively utilized the principle of an affinity chromatography column, which was commonly used in the detection of HbA1c, and the technology of traditional fluorescence immunochromatographic test strips (FICTS) were combined. In our test strips, the test line of traditional FICTS was transformed into the region of affinity chromatography, while improving the linearity and reducing the interference of the precursor of HbA1c and hemoglobin variants. The test strips could quantitatively detect HbA1c over a wide range (3 - 13.8%) with excellent linearity (R2 > 0.99), and the assay accuracy was demonstrated by comparing with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) (R2 > 0.95). The simple, rapid, effective and quantitative strips will provide a novel method for the detection of HbA1c in clinical diagnosis.
