Abstract
Point-of-care analysis of neurotransmitters in body fluids plays a significant role in healthcare improvement. Conventional approaches are limited by time-consuming procedures and usually require laboratory instruments for sample preparation. Herein, we developed a surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) composite hydrogel device for the rapid analysis of neurotransmitters in whole blood samples. The PEGDA/SA composite hydrogel enabled fast separation of small molecules from the complex blood matrix, while the plasmonic SERS substrate allowed for the sensitive detection of target molecules. 3D printing was employed to integrate the hydrogel membrane and the SERS substrate into a systematic device. The sensor achieved highly sensitive detection of dopamine in whole blood samples with a limit of detection down to 1 nM. The whole detection process from sample preparation to SERS readout can be finished within 5 min. Due to the simple operation and rapid response, the device shows great potential in point-of-care diagnosis and the monitoring of neurological and cardiovascular diseases and disorders.

Abstract
We developed a new plasmonic nanostripe microcone array (PNMA) substrate-integrated microfluidic chip for the simultaneous surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based immunoassay of the creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) and cardiac troponin (cTnI) cardiac markers. The conventional immunoassay usually employs a microtiter plate as the solid capture plate to form the immunocomplexes. However, the two-dimensional (2D) surface of the microtiter plate limits the capture efficiency of the target antigens due to the steric hindrance effect. To address this issue, a gold film-coated microcone array with nanostripes was developed that can provide a large surface area for capture antibody conjugation and serve as a SERS-active substrate. This unique nano-microhierarchical structure showed an excellent light trapping effect and induced surface plasmon resonance to further enhance the Raman signals of the SERS nanoprobes. It significantly improved the sensitivity and applicability of SERS-based immunoassay on the microfluidic chip. With this integrated microfluidic chip, we successfully performed the simultaneous detection of CK-MB and cTnI, and the detection limit can reach 0.01 ng mL-1. It is believed that the PNMA substrate-integrated microfluidic chip would play a critical role in the rapid and sensitive diagnostics of cardiac diseases.

Abstract
The alarming mortality and morbidity rate of myocardial infarction (MI) is becoming an important impetus in the development of early diagnosis and appropriate therapeutic approaches, which are critical for saving patients' lives and improving post-infarction prognosis. Despite several advances that have been made in the treatment of MI, current strategies are still far from satisfactory. Nanomaterials devote considerable contribution to tackling the drawbacks of conventional therapy of MI by improving the homeostasis in the cardiac microenvironment via targeting, immune modulation, and repairment. This review emphasizes the strategies of nanomaterials-based MI treatment, including cardiac targeting drug delivery, immune-modulation strategy, antioxidants and antiapoptosis strategy, nanomaterials-mediated stem cell therapy, and cardiac tissue engineering. Furthermore, nanomaterials-based diagnosis strategies for MI was presented in term of nanomaterials-based immunoassay and nano-enhanced cardiac imaging. Taken together, although nanomaterials-based strategies for the therapeutics and diagnosis of MI are both promising and challenging, such a strategy still explores the immense potential in the development of the next generation of MI treatment.
