RESUMO
With the increase in people's living standards, the number of patients suffering from liver injury keeps on increasing. Traditional diagnostic methods can no longer meet the needs of early and accurate diagnosis due to their limitations in application. However, fluorescent probes based on different fluorophores and nanomaterials have been gradually lighting up medical research due to their unique properties, such as high specificity and non-invasiveness. In addition, accurate identification of the different types of liver injury biomarkers can significantly improve the level of early diagnosis. Therefore, this review reviews the fluorescent probes used in the detection of biomarkers of liver injury over recent years and briefly summarizes the corresponding biomarkers of different types of liver injury. Impressively, this review also lists the structures and the response mechanisms of the different probes, and concludes with an outlook, suggesting directions in which improvements can be made. Finally, we hope that this review will contribute to the further development of fluorescent probes for the early diagnosis and assessment of liver injury.

As one of the major reactive oxygen species (ROS), superoxide anion (O2â¢-) is engaged in maintaining redox homeostasis in the cell microenvironment. To identify the pathological roles in related disorders caused by abnormal expression of O2â¢-, it is of great significance to monitor and track the fluctuation of O2â¢- concentration in vivo. However, the low concentration of O2â¢- and the interference caused by tissue autofluorescence make the development of an ideal detection methodology full of challenges. Herein, a "Turn-On" chemical response near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence probe Dcm-Cu-OTf for O2â¢- detection in inflamed models, was constructed by conjugating the NIR fluorophore (dicyanisophorone derivative) with an O2â¢- sensing moiety (trifluoromethanesulfonate). Dcm-Cu-OTf exerted about 140-fold fluorescence enhancement after reacting 200 µM O2â¢- with an excellent limited of detection (LOD) as low as 149 nM. Additionally, Dcm-Cu-OTf exhibited a super large Stokes shift (260 nm) and high selectivity over other bio-analytes in stimulated conditions. Importantly, Dcm-Cu-OTf showed low toxicity and enabled imaging of the generation of O2â¢- in the Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated HeLa cells, zebrafish, and LPS-induced inflamed mice. The present study provided a potential and reliable detection tool to inspect the physiological and pathological progress of O2â¢- in living biosystems.

Abiotic stress and oxidative stress are closely related to the health status of plants. Plants will produce oxidative stress under abiotic stress, induce mitochondrial dysfunction, cause programmed cell death, and decrease plant survival rate. It is well known that rice is an essential crop for humans, but its cadmium tolerance is poor. Therefore, it is crucial to determine whether cadmium stress causes oxidative stress in rice in order to guide rice cultivation. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a highly reactive oxygen species (ROS), is one of the most critical signals in corps under oxidative stress. In this work, we adopted a near-infrared (NIR) H2O2 fluorescent probe YFE-1 and a cadmium ion (Cd2+) fluorescent probe SCP to observe the fluctuation of H2O2 in rice roots under Cd2+ co-incubation conditions. Due to the advantages of fast response (within 2 min), a large Stokes shift (181 nm), good selectivity, and a low detection limit (LOD:26.4 nM), YFE-1 achieved the visualization of H2O2 produced by Cd2+ stress in rice roots. This study provides a new idea for assessing the risk of oxidative stress of Cd2+ in rice roots. It is expected to guide the control of Cd2+ in the rice planting industry to improve rice yield.
