Abstract
Excessive use of antibiotics will enter the water environment and soil through the biological chain, and then transfer to the human body through food, resulting in drug resistance, kidney toxicity and other health problems, so it is urgent to develop highly sensitive detection methods of antibiotics. Here, we designed a dual-mode sensor platform based on closed bipolar electrode (cBPE) electroluminescence (ECL) and mobile phone imaging to detect kanamycin in seawater. The prepared CN-NV-550 displayed extremely intense ECL signal, allowing for convenient mobile phone imaging. The cBPE was combined with DNA cycle amplification technology to prevent the mutual interference between target and the luminescent material, and realized the amplification of signal. In the presence of target Kana, Co3O4 was introduced to the cBPE anode by DNA cycle amplification product, and accelerated the oxidation rate of uric acid (UA). Thus, the electroluminescence response of CN-NV-550 on cBPE cathode was much improved due to the charge balance of the cBPE, achieving both ECL detection and mobile phone imaging assay of Kana, which much improved the accuracy and efficiency of assay. The limit of detection (LOD) in this work is 0.23 pM, and LOD for mobile phone imaging is 0.39 pM. This study integrate ECL imaging visualization of CN-NV-550 and high electrocatalytic activity of Co3O4 into cBPE-ECL detection, providing a new perspective for antibiotic analysis, and has great potential for practical applications, especially in Marine environmental pollution monitoring.

Abstract
In this work, the relationship between electrochemiluminescence (ECL) signal and driving voltage was first studied by self-made reduced and oxidized closed bipolar electrodes (CBPEs). It was found that when the driving voltage was large enough, the maximum ECL signals for the two kinds of CBPEs were the same but their required drive voltages were different. Zinc cobalt nitrogen doped carbon material (ZnCoN-C) had an outstanding electric double layer (EDL) property and conductivity. Therefore, it could significantly reduce the driving voltage of two kinds of CBPE systems, reaching the maximum ECL signal of Ru(bpy)32+. Interestingly, when the ZnCoN-C modified electrode reached the maximum ECL signal, the bare electrode signal was zero. As a proof-of-concept application, a zero-background dual-mode CBPE-ECL biosensor was constructed for the ultrasensitive detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) in beer. Considering that beer samples contained a large number of reducing substances, a reduced CBPE system was selected to build the biosensor. Furthermore, a convenient ECL imaging platform using a smartphone was built for the detection of OTA. This work used a unique EDL material ZnCoN-C to regulate the driving voltage of CBPE for the first time; thus, a novel zero-background ECL sensor was constructed. Further, this work provided a deeper understanding of the CBPE-ECL system and opened a new door for zero-background detection.

Abstract
Chiral recognition of enantiomers with identical mirror-symmetric molecular structures is important for the analysis of biomolecules, and it conventionally relies on stereoselective interactions in chiral chemical environments. Here, we develop a magneto-electrochemical method for the enhanced detection of chiral amino acids (AAs), that combines the advantages of the high sensitivity of electrochemiluminescent (ECL) biosensors and chirality-induced effects under a magnetic field. The ECL difference between L- and D-enantiomers can be amplified over 35-fold under a field of 3.5 kG, and the chiral discrimination can be achieved in dilute AA solutions down to the nM level. The field-dependent ECL and chronocoulometry measurements suggest that chiral AAs can lock the spins on their radicals and thus enlarge the ECL change under applied magnetic fields (magneto-ECL, MECL), which explains the field-enhanced chiral discrimination of AA enantiomers. Finally, a detailed protocol is demonstrated for the identification of unknown AA solutions, in which the species, chirality and concentration of AAs can be determined simultaneously from the 2D plots of the ECL and MECL results. This work benefits the development of field-assisted detection methods and represents a promising and universal strategy for the comprehensive analysis of chiral biomolecules.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-3 has long been known for its hematopoietic properties. However, recent evidence has expanded our understanding of IL-3 function by identifying IL-3 as a critical orchestrator of inflammation in a wide array of diseases. Depending on the type of disease, the course of inflammation, the cell or the tissue involved, IL-3 promotes either pathologic inflammation or its resolution. Here, we describe the cell-specific functions of IL-3 and summarize its role in diseases. We discuss the current treatments targeting IL-3 or its receptor, and highlight the potential and the limitations of targeting IL-3 in clinics.

Abstract
A spatial-potential-color-resolved bipolar electrode electrochemiluminescence biosensor (BPE-ECL) using a CuMoOx electrocatalyst was constructed for the simultaneous detection and imaging of tetracycline (TET) and lincomycin (LIN). HOF-101 emitted peacock blue light under positive potential scanning, and CdSe quantum dots (QDs) emitted green light under negative potential scanning. CuMoOx could catalyze the electrochemical reduction of H2O2 to greatly increase the Faradic current of BPE and realize the ECL signal amplification. In channel 1, CuMoOx-Aptamer II (TET) probes were introduced into the BPE hole (left groove A) by the dual aptamer sandwich method of TET. During positive potential scanning, the polarity of BPE (left groove A) was negative, resulting in the electrochemical reduction of H2O2 catalyzed by CuMoOx, and the ECL signal of HOF-101 was enhanced for detecting TET. In channel 2, CuMoOx-Aptamer (LIN) probes were adsorbed on the MXene of the driving electrode (DVE) hole (left groove B) by hydrogen-bonding and metal-chelating interactions. LIN bound with its aptamers, causing CuMoOx to fall off. During negative potential scanning, the polarity of DVE (left groove B) was negative and the Faradic current decreased. The ECL signal of CdSe QDs was reduced for detecting LIN. Furthermore, a portable mobile phone imaging platform was built for the colorimetric (CL) detection of TET and LIN. Thus, the multiple mode-resolved detection of TET and LIN could be realized simultaneously with only one potential scan, which greatly improved detection accuracy and efficiency. This study opened a new technology of BPE-ECL sensor application and is expected to shine in microchips and point-of-care testing (POCT).

Abstract
Polymer-based magnetic particles have been widely used for the separation of biological samples including nucleic acids, proteins, virus, and cells. Existing magnetic particles are almost prepared by coating polymers on magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). However, this strategy usually encounters the problem of poor magnetic NPs loading capacity. Here, a series of nanofractal magnetic particles (nanoFMPs) synthesized by a strategy of mediator monomer regulated emulsion interfacial polymerization is presented, which allows effective magnetic NPs loading and show efficient nucleic acid separation performance. The mediator monomers facilitate the dispersion of magnetic NPs in internal phase to achieve higher loading, and the hydrophilic monomers use electrostatic interactions to form surface nanofractal structures with functional groups. Compared with magnetic particles without nanofractal structure, nanoFMPs exhibit a higher nucleic acid extraction capability. This strategy offers an effective and versatile way for the synthesis of nanoFMPs toward efficient separation in various fields from clinical diagnosis to food safety and environmental monitoring.

Abstract
The nonphotodriven electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imageology necessitates concentrated coreacting additives plus longtime exposures. Seeking biosafe and streamlined ensembles can help lower the bar for quality ECL bioimaging to which call the crystallized endo-coreaction in nanoreticula might provide a potent solution. Herein, an exo-coreactant-free ECL visualizer was fabricated out in one-pot, which densified the dyad triethylamine analogue: 1,4-diazabicyclo-[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) in the lamellar hive of 9,10-di(p-carboxyphenyl)anthracene (DPA)-Zn2+. This biligated non-noble metal-organic framework (m-MOF) facilitated a self-contained anodic ECL with a yield as much as 70% of Ru(bPy)32+ in blank phosphate buffered saline. Its featured two-stage emissions rendered an efficient and endurant CCD imaging at 1.0 V under mere 0.5 s swift snapshots and 0.1 s step-pulsed stimulation. Upon structural and spectral cause analyses as well as parametric set optimization, simplistic ECL-graphic immunoassay was mounted in the in situ imager to enact an ultrasensitive measurement of coronaviral N-protein in both signal-on and off modes by the privilege of straight surface amidation on m-MOFs, resulting in a wide dynamic range (10-4-10 ng/mL), a competent detection limit down to 56 fg/mL, along with nice precision and parallelism in human saliva tests. The overall work manifests a rudimentary endeavor in self-sufficient ECL visuality for brisk, biocompatible, and brilliant production of point-of-care diagnostic "Big Data".

Abstract
Developing a simple, economical, and accurate diagnostic method has positive practical significance for the early prevention and intervention of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, combining a closed bipolar electrode (BPE) chip with multicolor electrochemiluminescence (ECL) imaging technology, we constructed a low-voltage driven portable visualized ECL device for the early screening of AD. By introducing parallel resistance, the total resistance of the circuit was greatly reduced. A classical mixture of Ir(ppy)3 and Ru(bpy)32+ was used as multicolor emitters of the anode with TPrA as the co-reactant. Capture of amyloid-β (Aβ) through antigen-antibody recognition, and signal amplification by electroactive covalent organic frameworks (COF) probe at the cathode of BPE caused the significantly increased faradaic current. The electrical balance of the BPE system resulted in the change of the emission color from green to red at the anode. The ECL-BPE sensor shows good reproducibility and high sensitivity with detection limit of 1 pM by naked eye. The driving voltage is 3.0 V, which means the chip could be driven by two fifth batteries. The visualized ECL-BPE sensor provides a promising point-of-care testing (POCT) tool for the screening of Alzheimer's-related diseases in the early stage.

Abstract
Rationale Sepsis, a global health burden, is often complicated by viral infections leading to increased long-term morbidity and mortality. Interleukin-3 (IL-3) has been identified as an important mediator amplifying acute inflammation in sepsis; however, its function in the host response to viral infections during sepsis remains elusive. Objectives To investigate the role of IL-3 during viral pneumonia in sepsis. Methods We included septic patients from two different cohorts and used in vitro and in vivo assays. The obtained data were substantiated using a second model (SARS-CoV-2 infections). Measurements and main results Low plasma IL-3 levels were associated with increased herpes simplex virus (HSV) airway infections in septic patients, resulting in reduced overall survival. Likewise, Il-3-deficient septic mice were more susceptible to pulmonary HSV-1 infection and exhibited higher pulmonary inflammation than control mice. Mechanistically, IL-3 increases innate antiviral immunity by promoting the recruitment of circulating plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) into the airways and by enhancing pDC-mediated T cell activation upon viral stimulation. Interestingly, the ability of IL-3 to improve adaptive immunity was confirmed in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infections. Conclusion Our study identifies IL-3 as a predictive disease marker for viral reactivation in sepsis and reveals that IL-3 improves antiviral immunity by enhancing the recruitment and the function of pDCs.
