Abstract
Superficial tumors are still challenging to overcome due to the high risk and toxicity of surgery and conventional chemotherapy. Microneedles (MNs) are widely used in the treatment of superficial skin tumors (SST) due to the high penetration rate of the stratum corneum (SC), excellent biocompatibility, simple preparation process, high patient compliance, and minimal invasion. Most importantly, MNs can provide not only efficient and rarely painful delivery carriers, but also combine multi-model strategies with photothermal therapy (PTT), immunotherapy, and gene therapy for synergistic efficacy. To promote an in-depth understanding of their superiorities, this paper systematically summarized the latest application progress of MNs in the treatment of SST by delivering various types of photosensitizers, immune signal molecules, genes, and chemotherapy drugs. Just as important, the advantages, limitations, and drug release mechanisms of MNs based on different materials are introduced in the paper. In addition, the application of MN technology to clinical practice is the ultimate goal of all the work. The obstacles and possible difficulties in expanding the production of MNs and achieving clinical transformation are briefly discussed in this paper. To be anticipated, our work will provide new insights into the precise and rarely painful treatment of SST in the future.

[PMID: 36084509 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2022.112818] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/04/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
As an emerging novel drug delivery system, microneedles (MNs) have a wide range of applications in the medical field. They can overcome the physiological barriers of the skin, penetrate the outermost skin of the human body, and form hundreds of reversible microchannels to enhance the penetration of drugs and deliver drugs to the diseased sites. So they have great applications in the diagnosis and treatment of melanoma. Melanoma is a kind of malignant tumor, the survival rate of patients with metastases is extremely low. The traditional methods of surgery and drug treatment for melanoma are often accompanied by large adverse reactions in the whole body, and the drug concentration is low. The use of MNs for transdermal administration can increase the drug concentration, reduce adverse reactions in the treatment process, and have good therapeutic effect on melanoma. This paper introduced various types of MNs and their preparation methods, summarized the diagnosis and various treatment options for melanoma with MNs, focused on the treatment of melanoma with dissolved MNs, and made prospect of MNs-mediated transdermal drug delivery in the treatment of melanoma.

Abstract
Isotachophoresis (ITP) is a versatile electrophoretic technique that can be used for sample preconcentration, separation, purification, and mixing, and to control and accelerate chemical reactions. Although the basic technique is nearly a century old and widely used, there is a persistent need for an easily approachable, succinct, and rigorous review of ITP theory and analysis. This is important because the interest and adoption of the technique has grown over the last two decades, especially with its implementation in microfluidics and integration with on-chip chemical and biochemical assays. We here provide a review of ITP theory starting from physicochemical first-principles, including conservation of species, conservation of current, approximation of charge neutrality, pH equilibrium of weak electrolytes, and so-called regulating functions that govern transport dynamics, with a strong emphasis on steady and unsteady transport. We combine these generally applicable (to all types of ITP) theoretical discussions with applications of ITP in the field of microfluidic systems, particularly on-chip biochemical analyses. Our discussion includes principles that govern the ITP focusing of weak and strong electrolytes; ITP dynamics in peak and plateau modes; a review of simulation tools, experimental tools, and detection methods; applications of ITP for on-chip separations and trace analyte manipulation; and design considerations and challenges for microfluidic ITP systems. We conclude with remarks on possible future research directions. The intent of this review is to help make ITP analysis and design principles more accessible to the scientific and engineering communities and to provide a rigorous basis for the increased adoption of ITP in microfluidics.

Abstract
Stand-alone electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) has been advancing through enhancements in throughput, selectivity and sensitivity of mass spectrometers. Unlike traditional MS techniques which usually require extensive offline sample preparation and chromatographic separation, many sample preparation techniques are now directly coupled with stand-alone MS to enable outstanding throughput for bioanalysis. In this review, we summarize the different sample clean-up and/or analyte enrichment strategies that can be directly coupled with ESI-MS and nano-ESI-MS for the analysis of biological fluids. The overview covers the hyphenation of different sample preparation techniques including solid phase extraction (SPE), solid phase micro-extraction (SPME), slug flow micro-extraction/nano-extraction (SFME/SFNE), liquid extraction surface analysis (LESA), extraction electrospray, extraction using digital microfluidics (DMF), and electrokinetic extraction (EkE) with ESI-MS and nano-ESI-MS.

Abstract
Enhancing the sensitivity of colorimetric detection in paper-devices is a quintessential step in achieving frugal diagnosis. Here, we demonstrate an effective way of improving the detection sensitivity of paper-based devices, as mediated by electro-kinetic mechanisms. By directly employing blood plasma, we investigate the electro-kinetic clustering of glucose, a neutral molecule in paper devices. Under the influence of uniform electric field, dispersed glucose gets accumulated in the paper strips. Due to the combination of EOF and electrophoretic migration, we achieve twofold increase in the colour intensity for both normal and diabetic samples. This approach is robust and possesses better sensitivity than conventional colorimetric assays and can be easily extended to other body fluid based diagnosis. These results may turn out to be of profound importance in improving the quality of pathological diagnosis in low-cost paper-based point-of-care devices deployed in resource-limited settings.
