Abstract
In the case of the COVID-19 early diagnosis, numerous tech innovations have been introduced, and many are currently employed worldwide. But, all of the medical procedures for the treatment of this disease, up to now, are just limited to chemical drugs. All of the scientists believe that the major challenge toward the mortality of the COVID-19 patients is the out-of-control immune system activation and the subsequent cytokine production. During this process, the adaptive immune system is highly activated, and many of the lymphocytes start to clonally expand; hence many cytokines are also released. So, any attempt to harness this cytokine storm and calm down the immune outrage is appreciated. While the battleground for the immune hyperactivation is the lung ambient of the infected patients, the only medical treatment for suppressing the hypercytokinemia is based on the immunosuppressor drugs that systemically dampen the immunity with many unavoidable side effects. Here, we applied the alternating electric field to suppress the expansion of the highly activated lymphocytes, and by reducing the number of the renewed cells, the produced cytokines were also decreased. Applying this method to the blood of the COVID-19 patients in vitro showed ∼33% reduction in the average concentration of the three main cytokines after 4 days of stimulation. This method could carefully be utilized to locally suppress the hyperactivated immune cells in the lung of the COVID-19 patients without any need for systemic suppression of the immune system by the chemical drugs.

Abstract
For most people, the first step in treatment is to take out the tumor (surgery), so precise and fast diagnosis of any sign of high-risk and neoplastic cells, especially in surgical cavity margins, is significant. The frozen pathology method is the conventional standard of intraoperative diagnosis, but the low number of slides prepared from non-fixed tissues prevents us from achieving a perfect diagnosis. Although many improvements in intraoperative margin detection were achieved, still real-time detection of neoplastic lesions is crucial to improving diagnostic quality. Functionalized carbon nanotubes grown on the electrode needles lively and selectively determine the H2O2 released from cancer/atypical cells through reverse Warburg effect and hypoxia assisted glycolysis pathways in a quantitative electrochemical manner. The study was carried out on cell lines, 57 in vivo mice models with breast cancer, and 258 fresh in vitro samples of breast cancer tumors. A real-time electrotechnical system, named cancer diagnostic probe (CDP) (US Patent Pub. No.: US 2018/02991 A1, US 2021/0007638 A1, and US 2021/0022650 A1 [publications], and US 10,786,188 B1 [granted]), has been developed to find pre-neoplastic/neoplastic cells in vivo in a quantitative electrochemical manner by tracing hypoxia glycolysis byproducts. Matched pathological evaluations with response peaks of CDP were found based on the presence of neoplasia (from atypia to invasive carcinoma) in live breast tissues. The ability of CDP to find neoplastic lesions in mice models in vivo and fresh breast tumors in vitro was verified with sensitivity and specificity of 95% and 97%, respectively. The system may help a surgeon assistant system for usage in the operating room after passing many trials and standard examinations in the future.

Electrochemical measuring of reactive oxygen species levels in the blood to detect ratio of high-density neutrophils, suitable to alarm presence of cancer in suspicious cases. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2021; 209:114488.

Abstract
Here for the first time, a real-time electrochemical assay on unprocessed blood was designed to detect the presence of cancer in patients. The system has been based on the recently approved pathway, which indicates that the abundance of immature and mature low-density neutrophils (LDNs) with reduced ROS production in peripheral blood is increased with the presence of active cancer tumors. Reduced ROS/H2O2 released from LDNs play the main role in determining the ROS/H2O2 levels of peripheral blood. In contrast, HDNs with increased levels of released ROS/H2O2 have higher concentrations than LDNs in normal cases. Hence, the reduced level of ROS species in peripheral blood recorded by our carbon nanostructure decorated sensor in less than 30 seconds showed a great pre-warning about the presence of non-treated cancer in patients with suspicious mass who have been sent for further evaluations.

Abstract
While limited investigations have been reported on CTC elimination and its profits, recently, some new works were reported on detection followed by the destruction of CTCs. Limitations and complications of CTC capturing procedures have highly reduced the chance of selective destruction of CTCs in the bloodstream in the therapeutic guidelines of the patients. Here, we selectively deactivated the invasive function of CTCs during their circulation in the bloodstream by exposing the whole blood to pure positive electrostatic charge stimulation (PPECS). Our treatment suppressed pulmonary metastasis and extended the survival of the mice had been intravenously injected by electrostatically deactivated 4T1 breast cancer CTCs. Moreover, the number of cancerous lung nodules was drastically reduced in the mice injected by treated CTCs in comparison with the non-treated cohort. Evaluating the side effect of the PPECS on the blood components revealed no major effect on the functional properties of the white blood cells, and just a negligible fraction (∼10%) was damaged during this process. This approach does not need any capturing or targeting of CTCs from the blood as it is focused on perturbing the electrical function of negatively-charged tumor cells after being exposed to positive electrostatic charges. Taken together, continuous in-vivo deactivation of CTCs by PPECS with no requirement to complicated capturing protocols may improve the survival of cancer patients.

Abstract
Production of local microbubbles (MBs) with dense distribution in tumor environment is achieved by developing an integrated electrochemical stimulator on a microfabricated silicon needle covered by zinc-oxide nanowires (ZnONWs). MBs are then exploded by external ultrasonic actuation, which induce microcavitations in tumor cells followed by direct entrance of anticancer drugs into cancer cells. This system, named ZnO nanowire-based microbubble generator probe (ZnONW-MGP), is tested on tumorized mice models (by MC4L2 breast cell lines). Mice treated by ZnONW-MGP have ≈82% reduction in tumor size within 10 days with just 25% of conventional dose of paclitaxel while in the absence of the system, they have just a 15% reduction in tumor size. Presence of ZnO nanostructures on microneedles strongly reduces the size of MBs and enhances the efficacy of the sonoporation.
