Abstract
In the human body, oxalate tends to form calcium oxalate with calcium ions, which can trigger the formation of stones in the urinary system. Therefore, oxalate in urine is usually utilized as a crucial biomarker in clinical urolithiasis diagnoses. In this work, a turn-on fluorescent nanoprobe was developed based on nitrogen-doped carbon dots (N-CDs) and MnO2 nanosheets (NSs) nanocomposites for oxalate sensing in urolithiasis patients. MnO2 NSs is a good sensing platform with high extinction coefficients and rich redox chemistry. The fluorescent N-CDs can be quenched efficiently by MnO2 NSs through the inner filter effect (IFE) to form N-CDs-MnO2 nanocomposites. The reductive oxalate could operate the decomposition of MnO2 NSs to Mn2+ resulting in the dissociation of the N-CDs-MnO2 nanocomposites and fluorescence recovery of N-CDs. Under optimal conditions, the developed sensor revealed good specificity toward oxalate with a limit of detection (LOD) of 0.69 μM. The developed sensor was successfully applied to quantify oxalate content in 47 urine samples (41 urolithiasis patients and 6 healthy persons). The results showed great consistency with clinical diagnostic reports and computed tomography images. This novel method retains several unique advantages, including affordable, rapid, and validating potential clinical application.

Abstract
Oxalate is a divalent organic anion that affects many biological and commercial processes. It is derived from plant sources, such as spinach, rhubarb, tea, cacao, nuts, and beans, and therefore is commonly found in raw or processed food products. Oxalate can also be made endogenously by humans and other mammals as a byproduct of hepatic enzymatic reactions. It is theorized that plants use oxalate to store calcium and protect against herbivory. Clinically, oxalate is best known to be a major component of kidney stones, which commonly contain calcium oxalate crystals. Oxalate can induce an inflammatory response that decreases the immune system's ability to remove renal crystals. When formulated with platinum as oxaliplatin (an anticancer drug), oxalate has been proposed to cause neurotoxicity and nerve pain. There are many sectors of industry that are hampered by oxalate, and others that depend on it. For example, calcium oxalate is troublesome in the pulp industry and the alumina industry as it deposits on machinery. On the other hand, oxalate is a common active component of rust removal and cleaning products. Due to its ubiquity, there is interest in developing efficient methods to quantify oxalate. Over the past four decades, many diverse methods have been reported. These approaches include electrochemical detection, liquid chromatography or gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, enzymatic degradation of oxalate with oxalate oxidase and detection of hydrogen peroxide produced, and indicator displacement-based methods employing fluorescent or UV light-absorbing compounds. Enhancements in sensitivity have been reported for both electrochemical and mass-spectrometry-based methods as recently as this year. Indicator-based methods have realized a surge in interest that continues to date. The diversity of these approaches, in terms of instrumentation, sample preparation, and sensitivity, has made it clear that no single method will work best for every purpose. This review describes the strengths and limitations of each method, and may serve as a reference for investigators to decide which approach is most suitable for their work.

Abstract
Oxalic acid (OA), naturally available in vegetables and foodstuffs derived from them, easily combines with calcium and iron to form insoluble oxalates. Their chelation will result in various renal diseases; thus, the accurate determination of OA is quite significant in the evaluation of food quality and healthcare settings. Here, we developed an electrochemically induced alcohol-free sol-gel method to obtain platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) adhered with porous silica on glassy carbon electrode (PSiO2-PtNPs/GCE) by a one-step process, which can be potentially used as an excellent catalyst towards electrochemical oxidation of OA for the first time. Without any redox mediator, PSiO2-PtNPs/GCE exhibited a low oxidation overpotential and a significantly high current signal, achieving a wide linear range of concentration from 0 to 45 μM and a detection limit as low as to 25 nM for OA detection. Moreover, this present alcohol-free sol-gel approach towards OA determination was verified in real samples, which is promising for foodstuff analysis and clinical diagnosis. Graphical abstract.

Abstract
A method for daily monitoring of yttrium and rare earth elements (YREEs) in seawater using a cheap flow injection system online coupled to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry is reported. Toyopearl AF Chelate 650M® resin permits separation and concentration of YREEs using a simple external calibration. A running cycle consumed 6 mL sample and took 5.3 min, providing a throughput of 11 samples per hour. Linear ranges were up to 200 ng kg−1 except Tm (100 ng kg−1). The precision of the method was <6% (RSDs, n = 5), and recoveries ranged from 93% to 106%. Limits of detection (LODs) were in the range 0.002 ng kg−1 (Tm) to 0.078 ng kg−1 (Ce). Good agreement between YREEs concentrations in CASS-4 and SLEW-3 obtained in this work and results from other studies was observed. The proposed method was applied to the determination of YREEs in seawater from the Jiulong River Estuary and the Taiwan Strait.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exhaled in breath have huge potential as indicators of diseases and metabolisms. Application of breath analysis for disease screening and metabolism assessment is expected since breath samples can be noninvasively collected and measured. In this research, a highly sensitive and selective biochemical gas sensor (bio-sniffer) for gaseous acetaldehyde (AcH) was developed. In the AcH bio-sniffer, a reverse reaction of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) was employed for reducing AcH to ethanol and simultaneously consuming a coenzyme, reduced form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH). The concentration of AcH can be quantified by fluorescence detection of NADH that was consumed by reverse reaction of ADH. The AcH bio-sniffer was composed of an ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV-LED) as an excitation light source, a photomultiplier tube (PMT) as a fluorescence detector, and an optical fiber probe, and these three components were connected with a bifurcated optical fiber. A gas-sensing region of the fiber probe was developed with a flow-cell and an ADH-immobilized membrane. In the experiment, after optimization of the enzyme reaction conditions, the selectivity and dynamic range of the AcH bio-sniffer were investigated. The AcH bio-sniffer showed a short measurement time (within 2 min) and a broad dynamic range for determination of gaseous AcH, 0.02-10 ppm, which encompassed a typical AcH concentration in exhaled breath (1.2-6.0 ppm). Also, the AcH bio-sniffer exhibited a high selectivity to gaseous AcH based on the specificity of ADH. The sensor outputs were observed only from AcH-contained standard gaseous samples. Finally, the AcH bio-sniffer was applied to measure the concentration of AcH in exhaled breath from healthy subjects after ingestion of alcohol. As a result, a significant difference of AcH concentration between subjects with different aldehyde dehydrogenase type 2 (ALDH2) phenotypes was observed. The AcH bio-sniffer can be used for breath measurement, and further, an application of breath analysis-based disease screening or metabolism assessment can be expected due to the versatility of its detection principle, which allows it to measure other VOCs by using NADH-dependent dehydrogenases.

Abstract
The optimization-based quantitative determination of multianalyte concentrations from biased biosensor responses is investigated under internal and external diffusion-limited conditions. A computational model of a biocatalytic amperometric biosensor utilizing a mono-enzyme-catalyzed (nonspecific) competitive conversion of two substrates was used to generate pseudo-experimental responses to mixtures of compounds. The influence of possible perturbations of the biosensor signal, due to a white noise- and temperature-induced trend, on the precision of the concentration determination has been investigated for different configurations of the biosensor operation. The optimization method was found to be suitable and accurate enough for the quantitative determination of the concentrations of the compounds from a given biosensor transient response. The computational experiments showed a complex dependence of the precision of the concentration estimation on the relative thickness of the outer diffusion layer, as well as on whether the biosensor operates under diffusion- or kinetics-limited conditions. When the biosensor response is affected by the induced exponential trend, the duration of the biosensor action can be optimized for increasing the accuracy of the quantitative analysis.
