Abstract
The controller is important for the artificial pancreas to guide insulin infusion in diabetic therapy. However, the inter- and intra-individual variability and time delay of glucose metabolism bring challenges to control glucose within a normal range. In this study, a multivariable identification based model predictive control (mi-MPC) is developed to overcome the above challenges. Firstly, an integrated glucose-insulin model is established to describe insulin absorption, glucose-insulin interaction under meal disturbance, and glucose transport. On this basis, an observable glucose-insulin dynamic model is formed, in which the individual parameters and disturbances can be identified by designing a particle filtering estimator. Next, embedded with the identified glucose-insulin dynamic model, a mi-MPC method is proposed. In this controller, plasma glucose concentration (PGC), an important variable and indicator of glucose regulation, is estimated and controlled directly. Finally, the method was tested on 30 in-silico subjects produced by the UVa/Padova simulator. The results show that the mi-MPC method including the model, individual identification, and the controller can regulate glucose with the mean value of 7.45 mmol/L without meal announcement.

Abstract
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a disease that affects millions of people around the world. Recent progress in embedded devices has allowed the development of artificial pancreas that can pump insulin subcutaneously to automatically regulate blood glucose levels in diabetic patients. In this work, a Lyapunov-based intelligent controller using artificial neural networks is proposed for application in automated insulin delivery systems. The adoption of an adaptive radial basis function network within the control scheme allows regulation of blood glucose levels without the need for a dynamic model of the system. The proposed model-free approach does not require the patient to inform when they are going to have a meal and is able to deal with inter- and intrapatient variability. To ensure safe operating conditions, the stability of the control law is rigorously addressed through a Lyapunov-like analysis. In silico analysis using virtual patients are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, showing its ability to maintain normoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Three different scenarios were considered: one long- and two short-term simulation studies. In the short-term analyses, 20 virtual patients were simulated for a period of 7 days, with and without prior basal therapy, while in the long-term simulation, 1 virtual patient was assessed over 63 days. The results show that the proposed approach was able to guarantee a time in the range above 95% for the target glycemia in all scenarios studied, which is in fact well above the desirable 70%. Even in the long-term analysis, the intelligent control scheme was able to keep blood glucose metrics within clinical care standards: mean blood glucose of 119.59 mg/dL with standard deviation of 32.02 mg/dL and coefficient of variation of 26.78%, all below the respective reference values.

Abstract
In this study, an adaptive backstepping method is proposed to regulate the blood glucose induced by meals for type-1 diabetic patients. The backstepping controller is used to control the blood glucose level and an adaptive algorithm is utilized to compensate for the blood glucose induced by meals. Moreover, the effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated by comparing results in two different case studies: in the presence of actuator faults and the loss of control input for a short while during treatment. Effects of unannounced meals three times a day are investigated for a nominal patient in every case. It is argued that adaptive backstepping is the preferred control method in either case. The Lyapunov theory is used to prove the stability of the proposed method. Obtained results, indicated that the adaptive backstepping controller is stable, and the desired level of glucose concentration is being tracked efficiently.

Abstract
Plasma glucose concentration (PGC) and plasma insulin concentration (PIC) are two essential metrics for diabetic regulation, but difficult to be measured directly. Often, PGC and PIC are estimated from continuous glucose monitoring and insulin delivery data. Nevertheless, the inter-individual variability and external disturbance (e.g. carbohydrate intake) bring challenges for accurate estimations. This study is to estimate PGC and PIC adaptively by identifying personalized parameters and external disturbances. An observable glucose-insulin (OGI) dynamic model is established to describe insulin absorption, glucose regulation, and glucose transport. The model parameters and disturbances can be extended to observable state variables and be identified dynamically by Bayesian filtering estimators. Two basic Gaussian noise based Bayesian filtering estimators, extended Kalman filtering (EKF) and unscented Kalman filtering (UKF), are implemented. Recognizing the prevalence of non-Gaussian noise, in this study, two new filtering estimators: particle filtering with Gaussian noise (PFG), and particle filtering with mixed non-Gaussian noise (PFM) are designed and implemented. The proposed OGI model in conjunction with the estimators is evaluated using the data from 30 in-silico subjects and 10 human participants. For in-silico subjects, the OGI with PFM estimator has the ability to estimate PIC and PGC adaptively, achieving RMSE of PIC 9.49±3.81 mU/L, and PGC 0.89±0.19 mmol/L. For human, the OGI with PFM has the promise to identify disturbances (95.46%±0.65% accurate rate of meal identification). OGI model provides a way to fully personalize the parameters and external disturbances in real time, and has potential clinical utility for artificial pancreas.

Abstract
Human serum is a huge bioinformatics database of human physiological and pathological state, many proteins/peptides among which can serve as biomarkers for monitoring human's health condition, thereby being worth exploring. The simple and fast capture of biomarkers from human serum is the first key step to realize their accurate detection. In this work, we developed the aptamer functionalized magnetic metal organic framework nanoprobe, and furtherly combined with mass spectrometry technology to establish an efficient method of identifying biomarkers. Taking insulin as example of biomarker in human serum, we developed sulfhydryl human insulin aptamer functionalized magnetic metal organic framework (denoted as Mag MOF@Au@HIA) through the post-synthetic modification of MIL-101(Cr)-NH2 for testing the applicability of the established method. Depending on the strong magnetic responsiveness and high specific area as well as high-loaded human insulin aptamers, the limit of detection of insulin was down to 1 ng/mL and 2 ng/mL in the standard insulin solution and human serum, respectively. Moreover, a good linear relationship (R2 = 0.998) was obtained by using standard insulin solution with concentration range from 100 ng/mL to 5 ng/mL, based on which the capture recovery of insulin with Mag MOF@Au@HIA from human serum was demonstrated to be excellent. All of the results indicate that the aptamer-functionalized magnetic metal organic framework is a promising nanoprobe for biomarkers capture in human serum.

Estimation of plasma insulin concentration under glycemic variability using nonlinear filtering techniques. Biosystems 2018; 171:1-9.

Abstract
The ultimate goal of an artificial pancreas is finding the optimal insulin rates that can effectively reduce high blood glucose (BG) levels in type 1 diabetic patients. To achieve this, most closed-loop control strategies need to compute the optimal insulin action on the basis of precedent glucose and insulin levels. Unlike glucose levels which can be measured in real-time, unavailability of insulin sensors makes it essential the use of mathematical models to estimate plasma insulin concentrations. Between others, filtering techniques based on a generalization of the Kalman filter (KF) have been the most widely applied in the estimation of hidden states in nonlinear dynamic systems. Nevertheless, poor predictability of BG levels is a key issue since the glucose-insulin dynamics presents great inter- and intra-patient variability. Here, the question arises as to whether glycemic variability is not properly taken into account in models formulations and whether or it would compromise proper estimation of plasma insulin concentration. In order to tackle this point, a deterministic model describing glucose-insulin interaction plus a stochastic process to account for BG fluctuations were incorporated into the extended (EKF), cubature (CKF) and unscented (UKF) configurations of the Kalman filter to provide an estimate of the plasma insulin concentration. We found that for low glycemic variability, insulin state estimation can be attained with acceptable accuracy; however, as glycemic variability rises, Kalman filters rapidly degrade their performance as a consequence of large nonlinearities.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The artificial pancreas (AP) system, a technology that automatically administers exogenous insulin in people with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) to regulate their blood glucose concentrations, necessitates the estimation of the amount of active insulin already present in the body to avoid overdosing. METHOD An adaptive and personalized plasma insulin concentration (PIC) estimator is designed in this work to accurately quantify the insulin present in the bloodstream. The proposed PIC estimation approach incorporates Hovorka's glucose-insulin model with the unscented Kalman filtering algorithm. Methods for the personalized initialization of the time-varying model parameters to individual patients for improved estimator convergence are developed. Data from 20 three-days-long closed-loop clinical experiments conducted involving subjects with T1DM are used to evaluate the proposed PIC estimation approach. RESULTS The proposed methods are applied to the clinical data containing significant disturbances, such as unannounced meals and exercise, and the results demonstrate the accurate real-time estimation of the PIC with the root mean square error of 7.15 and 9.25 mU/L for the optimization-based fitted parameters and partial least squares regression-based testing parameters, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The accurate real-time estimation of PIC will benefit the AP systems by preventing overdelivery of insulin when significant insulin is present in the bloodstream.
