[PMID: 38932979 PMCID: PMC11200211 DOI: 10.1039/d4ra03575e] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2024] [Accepted: 06/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Taurine is now widely used as a new biomarker for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases. This study discusses the importance of accurately determining taurine biomarker levels in various tissues and fluids for the early diagnosis of important pathologies and diseases. Current methods for taurine analysis face challenges such as low sensitivity, lack of selectivity, and complex procedures. Therefore, an efficient analytical method/technique is urgently needed by clinicians. A new paper-based photochemical method using triangular silver nanoparticles (TA-AgNPs) as optical nanoprobes was developed to detect taurine in human blood plasma and urine samples. This method involves a chemical reaction between taurine and TA-AgNPs, leading to a color change at pH 4.8, which is detected using a paper-based colorimetry (PCD) assay. The reaction is further confirmed by UV-visible spectrophotometry as the interaction between taurine and TA-AgNPs causes a significant change in the absorption spectrum, enabling the rapid and reliable measurement of this important biomarker with a detection limit of less than 0.2 μM to 20 mM. The method has been successfully applied to bioanalyzing taurine in human body fluids. Additionally, it requires optimized single-drop paper/parafilm-based colorimetric devices (OD-PCDs) for in situ and on-demand taurine analysis. This study represents the first use of TA-AgNPs for the specific and sensitive detection of taurine in real samples. The sensor design allows for the direct quantification of biomarkers in biological samples without the need for derivatization procedures or sample preparation. The simplicity and portability of OD-PCDs make them promising for tracking and monitoring. This method is expected to contribute to improving environmental health and occupational safety and represents a significant advancement in colorimetric analysis for the sensitive and selective detection of taurine, potentially providing a platform for the identification of taurine and other biomarkers.

Abstract
Acetaldehyde, a prevalent carbonyl compound in fermented foods, poses challenges in various applications due to its reactivity. This study addresses the need for efficient acetaldehyde detection methods across biotechnological, environmental, pharmaceutical, and food sectors. Herein, we present a novel colorimetric/UV spectrophotometric approach utilizing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), particularly gold nano-flowers (AuNFs), for sensitive acetaldehyde identification. The method exhibits a notable sensitivity, detecting acetaldehyde at concentrations as low as 0.1 μM. The mechanism involves the interaction of acetaldehyde molecules with AuNFs, leading to a significant change in the absorbance spectrum, which serves as the basis for detection. Moreover, its applicability extends to human biofluids, notably urine samples. Integration with a cost-effective one-drop microfluidic colorimetric device (OD-μPCD) enables the development of an affordable test strip (CATS). This semi-analytical device, employing a multichannel OD-μPCD, facilitates real-time analysis of acetaldehyde in human samples. Our findings demonstrate the pioneering utilization of AuNPs for selective and sensitive acetaldehyde detection, promising advancements in environmental and occupational safety standards, and laying a foundation for enhanced detection and monitoring of related volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Abstract
Paper-based microfluidic devices offer advantages such as low cost and disposability for point-of-care diagnostic applications. However, actuation of fluids on paper can be a challenge in multi-step and complex assays. In this work, a thermally programmable time-delay switch (TPTDS) is presented which operates by causing delays in the fluid path of a microfluidics paper-based analytical device (μPAD) by utilizing screen-printed wax micro-bridges. The time-delay is achieved through an electrical power feedback loop which indirectly adjusts the temperature of each individual micro-bridge, melting the wax into the paper. The melted wax manipulates the fluid flow depending on its penetration depth into the paper channel, which is a function of the applied temperature. To demonstrate functionality of the proposed method, the TPTDS is employed to automate and perform the nitrate assay which requires sequential delivery of reagents. Colorimetric detection is used to quantify the results by utilizing an electronic color sensor.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are a group of organic compounds that are produced through the decarboxylation of amino acids by microorganisms. These compounds are commonly found in a variety of foods and are known to cause adverse health effects if consumed in high concentrations. Therefore, the development of sensitive and rapid detection methods for detection and determination of BAs is essential for ensuring food safety. In this study, a novel colorimetric affordable test strip (CATS) was developed for the colorimetric and naked-eye detection of two BAs of ethylenediamine (EDA) and histamine (HIS) in meat samples. Also, triangular silver nanoparticles (AgNPrs) were used as a diagnostic optical probe, and CATS used as a simple, environmentally friendly, inexpensive diagnostic substrate for on-site recognition of meat spoil. The AgNPrs-based optosensor demonstrated high sensitivity and selectivity towards EDA and HIS, allowing for the detection of low concentrations of the BAs in real food samples such as raw chicken and beef. The system presented a UV-vis technique for HIS and EDA analysis in the linear range of 0.1 μM to 0.01 mM, with an LLOQ of 0.1 μM, and 0.05 to 1 μM, with an LLOQ of 0.05 μM, respectively. Additionally, the performance of the designed CATS in the analysis of produced gases was evaluated, highlighting the potential of this simple and cost-effective strategy for the development of BAs diagnostic kits. This approach provides a simple and cost-effective method for detecting BAs in food, which could be beneficial for ensuring food safety and preventing the harmful effects associated with their consumption.

Abstract
Sweat has emerged as a compelling analyte for noninvasive biosensing technology because it contains a wealth of important biomarkers in hormones, organic biomacromolecules, and various ionic mixtures. These components offer valuable insights and can reflect an individual's physiological conditions. Here, we introduced an explainable deep learning (DL)-assisted wearable self-calibrating colorimetric biosensing analysis platform to efficiently and precisely detect the biomarker's concentration in sweat. Specifically, we have integrated the advantages of the colorimetric sensing method, adsorbing-swelling hydrogel, and explainable DL algorithms to develop an enzyme/indicator-immobilized colorimetric patch, which has reliable colorimetric sensing ability and excellent adsorbing-swelling function. A total of 5625 colorimetric images were collected as the analysis data set and assessed two DL algorithms and seven machine learning (ML) algorithms. Zn2+, glucose, and Ca2+ in human sweats could be facilely classified and quantified with 100% accuracy via the convolutional neural network (CNN) model, and the testing results of actual sweats via the DL-assisted colorimetric approach are 91.7-97.2% matching with the classical UV-vis spectrum. Class activation mapping (CAM) was utilized to visualize the inner working mechanism of CNN operation, which contributes to verify and explicate the design rationality of the noninvasive biosensing technology. An "end-to-end" model was established to ascertain the black box of the DL algorithm, promoted software design or principium optimization, and contributed facile indicators for health monitoring, disease prevention, and clinical diagnosis.

Abstract
Dapoxetine (DPX) belongs to the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class and functions by blocking the serotonin transporter and increasing serotonin activity, thereby delaying ejaculation. Therefore, monitoring of the concentration of DPX in human biofluids is important for clinicians. In this study, application of silver nanoparticles with the morphology of prisms (AgNPrs) for the sensitive measurement of DPX using colorimetric chemosensing and the spectrophotometric method was investigated. Also, DPX was determined in real samples using the spectrophotometry method. Based on the obtained results, all of the detection process in colorimetric assay is related to morphological reform of AgNPrs after it's specific electrostatic and covalent interaction with DPX as analyte. The UV-vis results indicate that the proposed AgNPrs-based chemosensing system has a wide range of linearity (0.01 μM to 1 mM) with a low limit of quantification of 0.01 μM in human urine samples, which is suitable for clinical analysis of this drug in human urine samples. It is important to point out that, this chemosensing strategy showed inappropriate analytical results for the detection of DPX in human urine samples which is a novelty of this platform. Finally, the optimized microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) was integrated with the colorimetric analysis of DPX to provide a time/color system for estimating analyte concentration by a portable substrate toward in situ and on-site biomedical analysis. Interestingly, the analytical validation tests showed appropriate results with great stability, which may facilitate commercialization of the engineered substrate. For the first time, in order to provide a simple and portable colorimetric/spectrophotometric recognition system to sensitive determination of DPX, an optimized pump-less microfluidic paper-based colorimetric device (μPCD) was introduced and validated for the real-time biomedical analysis of this analyte. According to the obtained results, this alternative approach is suitable for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and biomedical analysis by miniaturized and cost-beneficial devices.

Abstract
Synthetic dyes must be monitored and regulated. We aimed to develop a novel photonic chemosensor for rapidly monitoring synthetic dyes based on colorimetric (chemical interactions with optical probes using microfluidic paper-based analytical devices) and UV-Vis spectrophotometric methods. Various types of gold and silver nanoparticles were surveyed to identify the targets. In the presence of silver nanoprisms, the naked eye could visualize the unique and distinctive color changes of Tartrazine (Tar) to green and Sunset Yellow (Sun) to brown; UV-Vis spectrophotometry validated the results. The developed chemosensor showed linear ranges of 0.07-0.3 mM and 0.05-0.2 mM for Tar and Sun, respectively. Sources of interference had minimal effects, confirming the appropriate selectivity of the developed chemosensor. Our novel chemosensor demonstrated excellent analytical performance for measuring Tar and Sun in several types of orange juice as real samples, confirming its incredible potential for use in the food industry.

Abstract
Acetaldehyde acts as an important mediator in the metabolism of plants and animals; however, its abnormal level can cause problems in biological processes. Although acetaldehyde is found naturally in many organisms, exposure to high concentrations can have effects on the eyes, respiratory system, etc. Due to the importance of detecting acetaldehyde in environmental samples and biofluids, determination of its concentration is highly demanded. There are some reports showing exposure to high concentrations of acetaldehyde for a long time can increase the risk of cancer by reacting with DNA. In this work, we presented a novel colorimetric method for rapid and sensitive detection of acetaldehyde with high reproducibility using different AgNPs with various morphologies. The redox reaction between AgNPs, 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) solution, and analytes endows a color change in 15 minutes that is detectable by the naked eye. UV spectrophotometry was further used for quantitative analysis. An iron mold with a hexagonal pattern and liquid paraffin were also used to prepare the paper-based microfluidic substrate, as a low cost, accessible, and rapid detection tool. Different types of AgNPs showed different lower limits of quantification (LLOQ). The AgNPs-Cit and AgNPrs could identify acetaldehyde with linear range of 10-7 to 10 M and an LLOQ of 10-7 M. The AgNWs showed the best color change activity with a linear range 10-5 to 10 M and the lowest diagnostic limit is 10-5 M. Finally, analysis of human biofluids as real samples were successfully performed using this system.

Abstract
A microfluidic paper-based analytical device (μPAD) coupled with colorimetric detection was developed for simultaneous determination of urinary oxalate, citrate and uric acid (UA) which are important biomarkers of nephrolithiasis or kidney stones. The colorimetric detections were based on enzymatic reactions using oxalate oxidase and uricase for oxalate and UA, respectively, while an indicator displacement assay (IDA) using a copper murexide complex was applied for citrate detection. The developed μPAD was successfully applied for simultaneous determination of the three biomarkers in urine within 25 min, with linear ranges of 2-40, 5-150, and 5-45 mg L-1 and detection limits of 0.6, 2.9 and 3.1 mg L-1 for oxalate, UA, and citrate, respectively. The values of the percent relative standard deviation (% RSD) were lower than 6.4% for inter-day and intraday measurements of oxalate, citrate and UA standards spiked in urine samples with recovery percentages in the range of 81.0-109.8%, indicating acceptable accuracy and precision of the developed method for determination of the three biomarkers in urine samples. Accordingly, the developed μPAD holds great promise to be a simple, fast, inexpensive, low-sample and reagent volume, reliable and portable tool for simultaneous determination of oxalate, citrate and UA in urine, especially for on-site analysis.

Abstract
The human nature of curiosity, wonder, and ingenuity date back to the age of humankind. In parallel with our history of civilization, interest in scientific approaches to unravel mechanisms underlying natural phenomena has been developing. Recent years have witnessed unprecedented growth in research in the area of pharmaceuticals and medicine. The optimism that nanotechnology (NT) applied to medicine and drugs is taking serious steps to bring about significant advances in diagnosing, treating, and preventing disease-a shift from fantasy to reality. The growing interest in the future medical applications of NT leads to the emergence of a new field for nanomaterials (NMs) and biomedicine. In recent years, NMs have emerged as essential game players in modern medicine, with clinical applications ranging from contrast agents in imaging to carriers for drug and gene delivery into tumors. Indeed, there are instances where nanoparticles (NPs) enable analyses and therapies that cannot be performed otherwise. However, NPs also bring unique environmental and societal challenges, particularly concerning toxicity. Thus, clinical applications of NPs should be revisited, and a deep understanding of the effects of NPs from the pathophysiologic basis of a disease may bring more sophisticated diagnostic opportunities and yield more effective therapies and preventive features. Correspondingly, this review highlights the significant contributions of NPs to modern medicine and drug delivery systems. This study also attempted to glimpse the future impact of NT in medicine and pharmaceuticals.

Abstract
Arsenic (As) as a metal ion has long-term toxicity and its presence in water poses a serious threat to the environment and human health. So, rapid and accurate recognition of traces of As is of particular importance in environmental and natural resources. In this study, a fast and sensitive colorimetric method was developed using silver nano prisms (Ag NPrs), cysteine-capped Ag NPrs, and methionine-capped Ag NPrs for accurate detection of arsenic-based on transforming the morphology of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The generated Ag atoms from the redox reaction of silver nitrate and As(iii) were deposited on the surface of Ag NPrs and their morphology changed to a circle. The morphological changes resulted in a change in the color of the nanoparticles from blue to purple, which was detectable by the naked eye. The rate of change was proportional to the concentration of arsenic. The changes were also confirmed using UV-Vis absorption spectra and showed a linear relationship between the change in adsorption peak and the concentration of arsenic in the range of 0.0005 to 1 ppm with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.0005 ppm. The proposed probes were successfully used to determine the amount of As(iii) in human urine samples. In addition, modified microfluidic substrates were fabricated with Ag NPrs, Cys-capped Ag NPrs, and methionine-capped Ag NPrs nanoparticles that are capable of arsenic detection in the long-time and can be used in the development of on-site As(iii) detection kits. In addition, silver nanowires (AgNWs) were used as a probe to detect arsenic, but good results were not obtained in human urine specimens and paper microfluidic platforms. In this study, for the first time, AgNPs were developed for optical colorimetric detection of arsenic using paper-based microfluidics. Ag NPrs performed best in both optical and colorimetric techniques. Therefore, they can be a promising option for the development of sensitive, inexpensive, and portable tools in the environmental and biomedical diagnosis of As(iii).

Abstract
The aim of this work was to provide a novel approach to designing and synthesizing a nanocomposite with significant biocompatibility, biodegradability, and stability in biological microenvironments. Hence, the porous ultra-low-density materials, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), have been considered and the MIL-125(Ti) has been chosen due to its distinctive characteristics such as great biocompatibility and good biodegradability immobilized on the surface of the reduced graphene oxide (rGO). Based on the results, the presence of transition metal complexes next to the drug not only can reinforce the stability of the drug on the structure by preparing π–π interaction between ligands and the drug but also can enhance the efficiency of the drug by preventing the spontaneous release. The effect of utilizing transition metal complex beside drug (Doxorubicin (DOX)) on the drug loading, drug release, and antibacterial activity of prepared nanocomposites on the P. aeruginosa and S. aureus as a model bacterium has been investigated and the results revealed that this theory leads to increasing about 200% in antibacterial activity. In addition, uptake, the release of the drug, and relative cell viabilities (in vitro and in vivo) of prepared nanomaterials and biomaterials have been discussed. Based on collected data, the median size of prepared nanocomposites was 156.2 nm, and their biological stability in PBS and DMEM + 10% FBS was screened and revealed that after 2.880 min, the nanocomposite’s size reached 242.3 and 516 nm respectively. The MTT results demonstrated that immobilizing PdL beside DOX leads to an increase of more than 15% in the cell viability. It is noticeable that the AST:ALT result of prepared nanocomposite was under 1.5.

Abstract
Uric acid (UA) is an important biomarker for many diseases. A sensitive point-of-care (POC) testing platform is designed for the digital quantification of salivary UA based on a colorimetric reaction on an easy-to-build smartphone-assisted microfluidic paper-based analytical device (SμPAD). UA levels are quantified according to the color intensity of Prussian blue on the SμPAD with the aid of a MATLAB code or a smartphone APP. A color correction method is specifically applied to exclude the light effect. Together with the engineering design of SμPADs, the background calibration function with the APP increases the UA sensitivity by 100-fold to reach 0.1 ppm with a linear range of 0.1-200 ppm. The assay time is less than 10 min. SμPADs demonstrate a correlation of 0.97 with a commercial UA kit for the detection of salivary UA in clinical samples. SμPADs provide a sensitive, fast, affordable, and reliable tool for the noninvasive POC quantification of salivary UA for early diagnosis of abnormal UA level-associated health conditions.

Abstract
This study is aimed to establish a simple, rapid, and accurate ion chromatography approach for simultaneous detection of 6 inorganic anions in urine. Various performance parameters affecting the determination of anions were optimized, including the selection of sample protein precipitation agent, eluent, and flow rate. The final eluent was 3.6 mmol/L sodium carbonate and 12% isopropanol with a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min. Acetonitrile was used for pretreatment to precipitate proteins, and the volume ratio of urine to acetonitrile was 1:4. The correlation coefficient of the target anion calibration curve ranged from 0.9973 to 0.9999. The limit of detection ranged from 1.50 to 12.0 μg/L, and the method detection limit ranged from 15.0 to 120 μg/L. The standard recovery rate for low, medium, and high concentrations ranged from 90 to 110%. The inter-day and intra-day relative standard deviations were < 5%. The method has high accuracy and good reproducibility, and is suitable for the separation and determination of anions in urine. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
