RESUMO
Cascade reactions catalyzed by natural uricase and mimic peroxidase (MPOD) have been applied for uric acid (UA) detection. However, the optimal catalytic activity of MPOD is mostly in acidic conditions (pH 2-5), mismatching the optimal catalytic alkaline environment of uricase. In this paper, using CuSO4 and urea as raw materials, a MPOD with high catalytic activity in alkaline environment was synthesized by hydrothermal method. Then, based on coupling reaction of uricase/UA/MPOD/guaiacol (GA) system, a novel spectrophotometric method was established to detect 5-60 µmol/L UA (limit of detection = 3.14 µmol/L (S/N = 3)) and accurately quantified serum UA (275.6 ± 39.9 µmol/L, n = 5) with 95-105% of standard addition recovery. The results were consistent with commercial UA kit (p > 0.05). The MPOD could replace natural POD to reduce the cost of UA detection due to simple preparation and cheap raw materials, and is expected to achieve the specific detection of some substances, like glucose and cholesterol, combined with glucose oxidase and cholesterol oxidase.

In the research of carbon dots (CDs) containing various nitrogen sources, it was first found that urea/citric acid-CDs showed a selective discolouration reaction with sulphide ions. Therefore, by optimizing various synthesis and detection conditions of the CDs determining sulfur ions, such as the raw material ratio, temperature, time, pH, and oxidation atmosphere in the CD synthesis, a discolour CD-probe method for trace-level sulphide ions was developed. The method is environmentally friendly, shows two linear-response ranges in 0.050-1.0 mg L-1 (A = -0.0827c + 0.8366) and 1.0-15 mg L-1 S2- (A = -0.0209c + 0.7587) and can be used for the high and low concentration quantification of sulphide in various wastewaters. Subsequently, in order to realize the separation and detection of sulphide ions in wastewaters or rich- and barren-liquids containing N-methyldiethanolamine and other substances in desulphurizing solutions, an automatic pretreatment system was also established.

OBJECTIVE: R6G-ddATP was used as a dideoxy fluorescence substrate to establish the single base end extension (SNaPShot)-gel fluorescence method for the rapid detection of the genotypes of three high-risk human papillomaviruses (HR-HPV) ( HPV18, HPV33 and HPV35) genotypes. METHODS: HPV quality control products were used as as samples, and R6G-ddATP dideoxy fluorescence reagent was used as substrate. Firstly, HPV was amplified by using universal primers to obtain the first round of amplified products, which were purified and used as templates for subsequent SNaPShot reactions. Then, specific one-step extension primers were used to perform SNaPShot reaction to generate R6G-fluorescence-labeled DNA extension products. The product was subjected to agarose gel electrophoresis, the results of which were observed under a Gel Imager, and the HPV genotyping was done with different one-step extension primers. Each sample was tested three times and the results were compared with DNA sequencing results. RESULTS: The preferred annealing temperature for SNaPShot reaction is 55 â. Three HPV genotypes were examined by R6G-ddATP/SNaPShot gel fluorescence assay under optimal conditions, and the results were consistent with DNA sequencing results. CONCLUSION: The R6G-ddATP/SNaPShot-gel fluorescence method for the micro-detection methods of three HR-HPV genotypes was successfully established and can be used for rapid detection of HPV genotypes.

Peroxidase (POD) and ascorbic acid (AsA) usually coexist in organisms to synergistically protect them from reactive oxygen damage, and their contents undergo dynamic changes under different physiological conditions. What's more, the response of POD-catalytic activity in spectrophotometry has to be corrected using the content of concomitant AsA because we found that there is an extinction reaction between AsA and chromogenic products obtained from POD catalysis. With these implications, by skilfully using the chromogenic and the extinction phenomena in the guaiacol/POD/H2O2 reaction, an automatic analysis system for simultaneous quantification of POD (73-440 U L-1) and AsA (4-60 mg L-1) was successfully established based on flow injection analysis (FIA). Furthermore, under acidic conditions (0.5 mol L-1 of HCl), hydrothermal synthesis (250 °C for 1 h) was used for synthesizing new carbon dots (sPOD-CDs) of methylthymol blue (0.08 g L-1)/FeCl3 (0.8 g L-1), which is a simulative enzyme for POD, and it was first used for catalyzing the guaiacol/H2O2 reaction within the FIA system to replace natural HRP in the extinction reaction. This sPOD-CD solution has no background absorption and its concentration shows excellent correlation with simulative POD-activity. Finally, after optimization, this FIA system was utilized to testify that the reducibility of AsA is due to ascorbate ions and to determine POD and AsA in some plant samples. The standard addition recovery experiment showed that there was no interference from the matrix in real samples (recoveries: 95%-105%), and the obtained POD and AsA results were also consistent with the reference experiments (relative deviation ≤ 2.80%, t-test ≥ 0.07). The proposed FIA system is characterized by high sample-throughput (40 samples per h), better repeatability (relative standard deviation ≤ 1.4%), etc.

Fluorescence capillary analysis (FCA) realizes trace-level analysis of micro-volume samples; it is easy to operate, extremely low in analytical cost and can significantly lessen environmental pollution from analytical chemistry waste. FCA has the characteristics of green analytical chemistry and has been applied in clinical, biochemical, pharmaceutical, food safety and other fields. FCA basically involves a micro-volume glass capillary, a capillary holder and an ordinary fluorescence detector. The capillary is not only a container for chemical reaction and detection but also functions as a carrier to immobilize enzymes, gene probes or reagents; it can be used repeatedly or can be disposable. In analysis, the capillary which is modified with functional reagents sucks in a measured liquid for the reaction and is then inserted into the holder within the fluorescent detector for measurement. The immobilized FCA method has been successfully used in the determination of reduced coenzyme I, ethanol in liqueur, lactic acid in dairy products, pyruvic acid and glucose in serum, trace-level sulfated bile acid in urine, the ratio of pyruvic/lactic acid in serum, and pyruvic acid in cells as well as in DNA end-labeling and dyeing methods. Further, FCA can also be extended to capillary arrays to complete multipurpose simultaneous determinations and can be combined with mobile phones as fluorescence detectors for use in mobile health analytical technology. FCA will produce considerable social benefits in medicine, pharmacy, fermentation of food, environmental protection and other fields. Therefore, the relevant contents are presented in this tutorial review.

OBJECTIVE: To establish SNaPShot-fluorescence capillary analysis (SNaPShot-FCA) assay for rapid detection of the genotype of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 gene (ALDH2) rs671 locus. METHODS: The genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood cells. Using R6G-ddATP and cy5-ddGTP as fluorescent substrates, the ALDH2 gene was amplified by SNaPShot to generate DNA products with different fluorescent dyes at the 3' end. FCA was used to detect the products separated by agarose gel electrophoresis and recovered by gel recovery kit, and the genetype of ALDH2 polymorphism was analyzed by fluorescence spectrum. The samples were tested three times repeatedly and compared with the results of DNA sequencing. RESULTS: The optimal concentrations of R6G-ddATP and cy5-ddGTP were 1.4 µmol/L and 8.0 µmol/L, respectively. 106 samples were tested for ALDH2 genotype by SNaPShot-FCA under optimal conditions, including 67 of wild type (GG), 38 of hybrid type (AG), and 1 of mutant type (AA), which were consistent with the sequencing results. CONCLUSION: This study successfully established the SNaPShot-FCA for the micro-detection of ALDH2 genotype for the rapid screening and identification of ALDH2 gene.

Herein, a fluorescent capillary biosensor was developed for quantifying micro-volume intracellular pyruvate (PA), in which AuNPs and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were modified on the inner surface of an amination capillary (20 µL) via a self-assembly technique. The PA concentration was quantified by the change in the value of the fluorescence of NADH after sucking a mixed solution of the sample and NADH into the biosensor. This study investigated factors including the degree of protonation of the amino groups on the surface of the capillary, the AuNP concentration and time for self-assembly, the activity concentration and time for the LDH self-assembly, the flow rate and acidity for LDH immobilization, pH, temperature, and reaction time for the NADH/PA/LDH reaction system. Under the optimized conditions, the linear response range of the biosensor towards PA was 2.5-120 µmol L-1, in which the determination limit and detection limit were 2.5 and 0.75 µmol L-1, respectively. The biosensor could be reused more than 41 times when its relative standard deviation (RSD) was controlled at less than 1.5%. At room temperature (approximately 25 °C), the intracellular PA in the erythrocyte of a healthy person was measured using the biosensor, and the PA content was observed to be 241.76 ± 68.05 µmol L-1 (n = 8). The standard addition recovery was 95-106%. Employment of the AuNPs in the PA biosensor not only improved the affinity of the immobilized LDH towards PA and its stability, but also significantly enhanced the service life of the PA biosensor.

It was studied that making conditions of a micro-volume fluorescence capillary biosensor for determining pyruvate (PA) and lactate (LA). The biosensor made under the optimized conditions could be used for sequential quantifications of LA in the range 0.10-1.2 mM and PA in 4-120 µM, and its recovery for PA and LA was in a satisfactory range 97-106% for human serum samples, with detection limits of 0.023 mM for LA (RSD < 1.89%, n = 11) and 0.87 µM for PA (RSD < 1.70%, n = 11). The new assay possessed these advantages that the LDH immobilizing on capillary realized the reuse of expensive enzyme in fluorospectrophotometry, and the consumption of serum samples or chemical reagents decreased to 9 µL in per assay, and the analytes no needed to preseparation, and it also are accurate and reliable. Consequently, the fluorescence capillary biosensor should have a good prospect in assaying PA and LA or LA/PA ratios for clinical medicines or biology field. The optimization conditions and parameters obtained in this study have also a certain guiding significance for the development of biochip based on glass substrate.

Stem cell therapy holds great promise for future clinical practice for treatment of advanced liver diseases. However, the fate of stem cells after transplantation, including the distribution, viability, and the cell clearance, has not been fully elucidated. Herein, recent advances regarding the imaging tools for stem cells tracking mainly in chronic liver diseases with the advantages and disadvantages of each approach have been described. Magnetic resonance imaging is a promising clinical imaging modality due to non-radioactivity, excellent penetrability, and high spatial resolution. Fluorescence imaging and radionuclide imaging demonstrate relatively increased sensitivity, with the latter excelling in real-time monitoring. Reporter genes specialize in long-term tracing. Nevertheless, the disadvantages of low sensitivity, radiation, exogenous gene risk are inevitably present in each of these means, respectively. In this review, we aim to comprehensively evaluate the current state of methods for tracking of stem cell, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, and providing insights into their future potential. Multimodality imaging strategies may overcome the inherent limitations of single-modality imaging by combining the strengths of different imaging techniques to provide more comprehensive information in the clinical setting.

The interaction mechanism between carbon dots (CDs) and metal ions is essential for optimizing their design, synthesis, and application. However, it must be accurately distinguished and quantified because of CDs' complex structure, composition, and coexisting various response mechanisms or products. Herein, a recirculating-flow fluorescence capillary analysis (RF-FCA) system was developed to online monitor the fluorescence kinetics of CDs interacting with metal ions. The fluorescence kinetics of purification and dissociation of CDs/metal ion complexes were easy to monitor online by integrating immobilized CDs and RF-FCA. Here, CDs derived from citric acid and ethylenediamine were used as a model system. We found that the fluorescence of CDs is quenched by Cu(II) and Hg(II) only through the formation of a coordination complex, by Cr(VI) only through the inner filtering effect, and by Fe(III) through the above two mechanisms. Then the kinetics of the competitive interaction between metal ions were used to address the difference of binding sites on CDs with metal ions, wherein Hg(II) was bound to other sites of CDs besides the same sites of CDs with Fe(III) and Cu(II). Finally, from the fluorescence kinetics of fluorescent molecules in the CD structure with metal ions, the difference was due to the presence of two fluorescent centers in the carbon core and molecular state in the CDs. Therefore, the RF-FCA system can distinguish and quantify the interaction mechanism between metal ions and CDs effectively and accurately and be a potential detection or performance characterization method.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Uricase (Uox) is a major drug in gout and a supplementary drug in cancer treatment. Because allergic reactions caused by Uox limit its clinical application,10% Co/EDTA was used to chemically modify Uox from A. flavus to reduce its immunogenicity. METHODS: The immunogenicity of Uox and 10% Co/EDTA-Uox was examined by determining the antibody titer and concentration of IL-2, IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-ß in quail and rat serum. Moreover, we examined the pharmacokinetics of 10% Co/EDTA-Uox in rats and acute toxicity in mice. RESULTS: The concentration of UA decreased from 771.85 ±180.99 to 299.47 ±20.37 µmoL/Lï¼p<0.01ï¼ in the hyperuricemia model of quails injected by 10% Co/EDTA-Uox. Two-way immuno-diffusion electrophoresis revealed that 10% Co/EDTA-Uox did not produce antibody, whereas the antibody titer against Uox was 1:16. The concentrations of four cytokines in the 10% Co/EDTA-Uox group were significantly lower than in Uox group (p < 0.01)ï¼ The titer of IgG and IgM against 10% Co/EDTA-Uox was significantly lower than that against Uox at different serum dilutions (p < 0.0001). The pharmacokinetic data indicated that the half-life time of 10% Co/EDTA- Uox( 69.315h) was significantly longer than that of Uox(13.4 h)ï¼p<0.01ï¼. The tissue section of the liver, heart, kidney, and spleen revealed no toxicity in Uox and 10% Co/EDTA- Uox groups. CONCLUSION: 10% Co/EDTA-Uox possesses little immunogenicity, a long half-life time, and a highly efficient degradation of UA.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Nucleostemin (NS) is a GTP-conjugated protein located in the nucleoli of stem cells and some cancer cells, and maintains cell self-renewal. We aimed to evaluate NS as a potential target for lung carcinoma gene therapy by investigating NS gene expression and its effect on A549 cell proliferation. METHODS: NS mRNA and protein expression in A549, HepG2, SMMC-7721, HeLa, and U251 cells was analyzed by RT-PCR and western blotting following transfection of NS siRNAs and negative control siRNA (NC). The effect on cell proliferation was also analyzed by MTT assays. RESULTS: NS mRNA and protein were both expressed in A549 cells and four other tumor cell lines; the relative expression levels were similar in all five cell lines. The three pairs of NS siRNA, either transfected alone or cotransfected into A549 cells, could effectively inhibit the expression of NS mRNA and protein. Moreover, the interference ratio showed an obvious concentration-dependent relationship. NS siRNA treatment resulted in significant inhibition of A549 cell proliferation by 35.7%. CONCLUSION: NS gene was not only highly expressed but also played an important role in A549 cell proliferation. Thus, targeting of NS may be a promising novel strategy for the treatment of lung carcinoma.

In using a flow-injection recirculating-catalysis system developed by us to research the simultaneous quantification for peroxidase and ascorbate, it was discovered that the concentrations of peroxidase activity and ascorbate are correlative with the slope and the negative intercept of the linear response curve during a peroxidase-catalyzed kinetic course. Therefore, based on this finding, a new analytical method and a simplified equation for quantifying the peroxidase activity concentration were proposed, Then, test conditions were optimized, finally the use of the method has realized the simultaneous determination for peroxidase of 2-40 U/L and ascorbate of 0.4-12 mg/L in various vegetables (60 µL). The assayed results were consistent with the comparison method, in which the repeatability (RSD < 1.43%, n = 11) was satisfactory. Another important conclusion obtained in this study is that the determination of the peroxidase activity in biosamples must use the kinetic curve method for fear of the influence from the ascorbate's lag phase.

A new fluorescence probe method for the detection of Hg(II) in serum was established, which has the detection limit of 3.57 nM and quantification limit of 5 nM, based on the electrostatic induced agglomeration quenching and complexation between Hg(II) and silicon-nitrogen-doped carbon nanodots (Si/N-CDs). Furthermore, the fluorescence probe also showed the satisfactory results in the determination of Hg(II) in human serum. Subsequently, take advantage of the uric acid (UA) to recover the fluorescence of the Si/N-CDs-Hg(II) complex probe, another enzyme-free ways to determine UA was developed. The complex probe can selectively detect the UA content in the 0.5-30 µM range, and its detection limit can reach 0.14 µM, which has successfully detected the UA in total serum, and the results were no significant difference comparing with the controls.

Herein, cobalt and nitrogen co-doped carbon dots (Co-N-CDs) were fabricated via a one-pot hydrothermal approach. The obtained Co-N-CDs displayed peroxidase-like activity and fluorescence properties. It could catalyze the oxidization of guaiacol (GA) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and thus, resulted in color change, accompanied by a new absorption peak in 470 nm. Owing to the inner filter effect, the oxidized product of GA (known as 2-PQ) largely absorbed the Co-N-CD fluorescence which was excited at 380 nm. Such changes in absorbance and fluorescence intensity were H2O2 concentration-dependent. Specifically, H2O2 could be generated by glucose oxidase to catalyze the oxidation of glucose, and thus, a colorimetric and fluorimetric sensor for glucose was established with high selectivity and excellent sensitivity. After the optimization of experimental conditions, this colorimetric sensor has a good linear range from 2 to 100 µM for glucose and the detection limit was 1.16 µM. Besides, the linear relationship between the fluorescence quenching value (ΔF) and the glucose concentration (0.4-40 µM) was obtained with a detection limit of 0.18 µM. Meanwhile, the proposed sensor has also been successfully applied for glucose detection in human serum samples, and the results were consistent with those of the standard method.

In this paper, an ultrasensitive and rapid "turn-on" fluorescence sensor, integrating flow-injection (FI) with nitrogen-doped carbon dots/gold nanoparticles (N-CDs/AuNPs) double-probe is established for the determination of metformin hydrochloride (MET) in biological fluids. The sensing strategy involves the weak inner filter effect between AuNPs and N-CDs due to aggregation products of MET with AuNPs. Unfortunately, the degree of AuNPs aggregation is difficult to control through manual assays, resulting in intolerable measurement error that limits further applications. However, the proposed method overcomes the above problem, and significantly lowers the consumption of expensive reagents (AuNPs: about 60 µL per test). Under optimal conditions, the fluorescence intensity at 400 nm excitation and 505 nm emission wavelengths display a linear correlation with MET concentration (5-100 µg L-1) and the limit of detection is 2.32 µg L-1 (3.3 S/k). The advantages of the presented method include high sensitivity, rapid speed (60 sample h-1), good accuracy and precision (RSD ≤ 2.1%, n = 11) and low cost. Since MET is the first-line hypoglycemic agent in patients with type II diabetes, this method can preliminarily determine MET content in urine samples, giving satisfactory results.

The use of a recirculating-flow catalysis detection system (RFCD) explored competition and the influence of ascorbic acid (AsA) in peroxidase (POD)-catalyzed reactions. The study identified that AsA is neither the inhibitor of POD nor could directly deplete H2O2; it directly reacts with chromogenic products to form colorless intermediates, which can react with H2O2 to again rapidly re-generate the chromogenic products. If using the reactions (trinder reactions or enzyme-linked reactions) to determine POD activity (EPOD), substrates or analytes, the interference of concomitant AsA should be removed and the conclusions have significance for oxidase/POD catalyzed reactions. In addition, the RFCD system was also used to simultaneously determine EPOD and AsA.

The method can assay 0.025-2.0 mg/L NO2- and has a detection limit of 9.6 µg/L and 95-105% recovery. Subsequently, it was applied in detecting NO2- changes in some Chinese home cooking, the gotten results indicated that if the sautéed vegetables (cabbage, Chinese cabbage, spinach and lettuce) and stir-fry pork, fried peas and pickled vegetable are stored at 4 °C for 72 h, nitrite contents are far lower than the recommended value, but if stored at room temperature for 24 h, the content in pure vegetables and shredded pork with green pepper will exceed the recommended value. Therefore, the staying fresher for the sautéed vegetables at room temperature is 24 h, if stored in a refrigerator at 4 °C, their staying fresher can be extended to 72 h.

Goldview marked DNA fluorescence capillary biosensor was studied in the present paper. Based on fluorescence capillary analysis (FCA), the DNA biosensor uses capillary as immobilization carrier and detection carrier of DNA probe. Probes (20-mer-ssDNA) were immobilized on the inner wall of capillary by poly-l-lysine, and DNA fluorescence capillary biosensor (DNA-FCB) was made. After being hybridized with complementary target DNA and dyed by Goldview, the target DNA was qualified or quantified by detecting the fluorescence density of the Goldview using F-4500 spectrofluorometer. The sample volume was 12 microL. The concentration of the target DNA showed good linearity with the fluorescence intensity in the range of 0. 4-4 micromol x L(-1) (2.4-24 mg x L(-1)) (y = 65.911x + 3.9944, r = 0.9989). The RSD was lower than 3.5%. The concentration detection limit of the target DNA was 0.39 micromol x L(-1) (2.2 mg x L(-1)). The DNA-FCB can be used to qualify or quantify the target DNA. It's advantages are simplicity of manipulation, thimbleful of sample and reagent volumes, repeated use of capillary, and the lowest test cost. By using DNA-FCB to qualify the target DNA, we can consumedly decrease the pollution of the environment.

We found that nitrite after protonation can react with amine radical on citric acid/ethylenediamine carbon nanodots (CA/EDA-CDs) to form nitrosamines, and fluorescence quenching of CA/EDA-CDs occurred during this process. Using the reaction mechanism a fluorescence quenching capillary analysis (FQCA) was developed. After optimized reaction conditions, the following results were obtained: the required concentration of CA/EDA-CDs was 12â¯mg/L, HCl concentration was 32â¯mmol/L, and the reaction conducted in room temperature for 20â¯min. Under optimized conditions, FQCA has a linear response in 20-500⯵g/L in which RSD was less 4.5% (nâ¯=â¯11), the detection limit was 6.5⯵g/L and the recovery was in 95-105%. The measured results were consistent with the national standard method. FQCA has been used for determining nitrite in foods and nature waters. The capillary in FQCA was used as the container for CA/EDA-CDs/NO2- reaction and NO2- determination, and realized trace-level analysis for micro-volume samples (<10⯵L/time).
