An amperometric choline biosensor was developed using synthesised thermally reduced graphene oxide (TRGO) as an efficient electrochemical surface and immobilisation matrix for choline oxidase (ChOx). The biosensor can operate via two distinct mechanisms depending on the applied working electrode potential: dissolved oxygen (O₂) consumption at −0.3 V and hydrogen peroxide oxidation at +0.6 V vs Ag/AgCl. Under these conditions, the TRGO/ChOx biosensor exhibited a linear response to choline concentrations of 0.0009–0.24 mM and 0.0008–0.24 mM, with sensitivities of 29 and 38 μA mM⁻¹ cm⁻² at −0.3 V and + 0.6 V vs Ag/AgCl, respectively. Operation at −0.3 V significantly improved biosensor selectivity by minimizing interference from common biological species, including dopamine, adenosine, serotonin, uric acid, ascorbic acid, glucose, albumin, and epinephrine. The TRGO/ChOx biosensor demonstrated excellent accuracy in mouse urine samples, yielding recovery rates of 101–107 % and relative standard deviations of 0.4–3.9 %. These features, including the dual operating mechanisms, highlight the strong potential of this biosensor for rapid and reliable choline detection in non-invasive diagnostics.

利用合成的热还原氧化石墨烯（TRGO）作为胆碱氧化酶（ChOx）的高效电化学表面和固定化基质，开发了一种电流型胆碱生物传感器。生物传感器可以根据所施加的工作电极电位通过两种不同的机制工作：−0.3 V的溶解氧（O₂）消耗和+0.6 V vs Ag/AgCl的过氧化氢氧化。在此条件下，TRGO/ChOx生物传感器对胆碱浓度0.0009 ~ 0.24 mM和0.0008 ~ 0.24 mM表现出线性响应，在−0.3 V和+ 0.6 V vs Ag/AgCl下灵敏度分别为29和38 μA mM−1 cm−2。−0.3 V下的操作显著提高了生物传感器的选择性，减少了常见生物物质的干扰，包括多巴胺、腺苷、血清素、尿酸、抗坏血酸、葡萄糖、白蛋白和肾上腺素。TRGO/ChOx生物传感器在小鼠尿液样品中表现出极好的准确性，回收率为101 - 107%，相对标准偏差为0.4 - 3.9%。这些特点，包括双重操作机制，突出了这种生物传感器在非侵入性诊断中快速可靠地检测胆碱的强大潜力。

Early detection and continuous monitoring of cancer biomarkers can significantly enhance the survival rates of the sufferers. As such, the development of sensitive, portable and easy-to-use devices for detecting and monitoring these biomarkers is necessary for early diagnosis and better clinical outcomes. In this work, we constructed and investigated a photoelectrochemical (PEC) device for the detection of human epididymis protein 4 (HE4), a common biomarker of epithelial ovarian cancer. The HE4 antibody was immobilised a screen-printed electrode which had been modified with CdTe quantum dots (CdTe QDs). The immobilization platform exhibited excellent photoelectrochemical properties for the selective and sensitive determination of the target biomolecule. The PEC immunosensing was performed using differential pulse voltammetry and visible light source under optimized conditions, detecting concentrations from 1 to 0.00001 nmol mL⁻¹, with low detection limit of 0.000008 nmol mL⁻¹. The immunosensor showed excellent reproducibility, repeatability, stability and selectivity, with a good recovery in a serum matrix.

The oral microbiome is an important indicator of health status; however, it has the limitation of varying significantly over time and under different life conditions. Therefore, rapid and convenient analysis through automation is required. In this study, we developed an automated oral microbiome analysis platform for the rapid and convenient diagnosis of health using mouthwash as the sample. Functionalized microbeads coated with graphene oxide (GO) were employed to concentrate 5 mL of mouthwash sample into 300 μL within 3 min, achieving an eight-fold concentration. Effective adsorption of bacteria onto the functionalized microbeads was confirmed using scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, nucleic acids were extracted from bacteria adsorbed on the functionalized microbeads via bead beating (3000 rpm) for 3 min, achieving approximately 100 % yield compared with conventional methods. The extracted nucleic acid solution was then automatically aliquoted into PCR 8-tube strips (2 μL each) with high accuracy (CV% = 2.63 %) using a simple fluidic aliquoting structure that incorporated an access channel and retention area. Oral microbiome profiling at the phylum level was compared between the developed fluidic cartridge method and commercial approaches, including next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis. The automated platform, which integrates the developed sample pretreatment and aliquoting processes into a fluidic cartridge, successfully analyzed the oral health status of both humans and companion animals within 3 h, demonstrating analytical accuracy equivalent to that of NGS.

The effect of excitation angle and polarization on the bulk refractive index sensitivity (RIS) of hexagonally-arranged gold nanoparticles is studied through numerical simulations and experiments. Analytical approximations (based on Rayleigh-Gans theory) and boundary element method (BEM) simulations proved that the RIS of single ellipsoidal particles depends intrinsically on the illumination angle. Compared to normal incidence with linear polarization, the RIS increases by 5–10 % at 70° incidence angle, depending on the particle geometry. Finite element method (FEM) simulations explored near-field coupling in tightly-packed particle assemblies and the effect of a substrate beneath the nanoparticles. The simulations showed that coupling between the particles significantly improves the sensitivity to the incidence angle, resulting in a 17–25 % increase in RIS at 70° illumination compared to normal incidence. Experiments performed on three realized nanoparticle arrangements with varying particle density were carried out in a transmission-based setup with linear, circular polarization, and unpolarized light. Results show significantly increased RIS in the 60°<

<75° incidence angle range, namely between a 12–35 % improvement compared to normal incidence, depending on the particle density. These results underline the importance of optimizing the excitation parameters to maximize the sensitivity of nanoplasmonic sensors for localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) applications.

通过数值模拟和实验研究了激发角和极化对六边形排列金纳米粒子体折射率灵敏度的影响。解析近似（基于瑞利-甘斯理论）和边界元法（BEM）模拟证明了单椭球粒子的RIS本质上依赖于光照角度。与线偏振法入射相比，在70°入射角时，RIS增加了5 - 10%，具体取决于粒子的几何形状。有限元方法（FEM）模拟探讨了近场耦合在紧密堆积的颗粒组件和衬底下的纳米颗粒的影响。模拟结果表明，粒子之间的耦合显著提高了对入射角的敏感性，在70°照明下，与正常入射角相比，RIS增加了17 - 25%。在线性、圆偏振光和非偏振光的传输装置中，对三种不同颗粒密度的纳米颗粒排列进行了实验。结果表明，在60°<； θ <；75°入射角范围内，RIS显著增加，即与正常入射角相比，RIS提高了12 - 35%，具体取决于颗粒密度。这些结果强调了优化激发参数以最大化局部表面等离子体共振（LSPR）应用中纳米等离子体传感器灵敏度的重要性。

Simultaneous detection of low levels of serum HBV DNA plus RNA in HBV-infected patients receiving antiviral therapy is an effective strategy to evaluate the antiviral effect. In this research, we established an ultrasensitive dual PCR-CRISPR fluorescent assay (DPCFS) based on CRISPR-Cas12a/Cas13a system to simultaneous detection of low levels of HBV DNA and RNA. We optimized the DPCFS assay and evaluated the specificity and sensitivity employing the HBV plasmid. Clinical validation and comparison with commercial HBV DNA ultrasensitive qPCR assay or reverse transcription droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (RT-ddPCR) were conducted using 46 serum samples of HBV-infected patients including 22 treatment-naïve and 24 nucleotide/nucleoside analogs (NAs)-treated patients. The limit of detection (LOD) for DPCFS platform was 5.8 copies/μL HBV DNA and 1.4 copies/μL HBV RNA, respectively, and the detection results could be directly visible to the naked eye under blue light without the need for any specialized instruments. Furthermore, clinical validation has 97.06 % sensitivity and 100 % specificity compared with commercial HBV DNA ultrasensitive qPCR assay. For serum HBV RNA detection, the sensitivity of DPCFS assay was 86.84 %, and the specificity was 87.5 % compared with RT-ddPCR. We developed a simultaneous and ultrasensitive detection of lower levels of HBV DNA and RNA in HBV-infected patients receiving antiviral therapy, which provide more accurate and simple strategy to evaluate the antiviral effect and treatment guidance.

Chlorpyrifos (CPF) is an organophosphate pesticide that is essential for controlling agricultural pests. Nevertheless, residues of this compound, even at low concentrations, raise substantial concerns regarding the environment and human health, including neurotoxic, genotoxic, and reproductive effects. This study aimed to design and fabricate a highly sensitive aptamer-based electrochemical biosensor utilizing P@N, S-CDs/CNFs with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for the detection of CPF in fruit and vegetable samples. Initially, nitrogen- and sulfur-co-doped carbon dots (N, S-CDs) were incorporated into polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer, resulting in the formation of N, S-CDs/CNFs via electrospinning. Subsequently, P@N, S-CDs/CNFs were produced during the heat treatment process. The hybrid material (P@N, S-CDs/CNFs) was used to modify the surface of the glassy carbon electrode (GCE), followed by the placement of AuNPs on the GCE modified with P@N, S-CDs/CNFs using the drop casting method. The successful synthesis of the nanomaterials was confirmed through XRD, FTIR, and SEM analyses. Under optimal conditions, the aptasensor demonstrated an extensive linear range from 0.1 fg mL⁻¹ to 800 pg mL⁻¹, with a calculated limit of detection as low as 0.033 fg mL⁻¹. The capability of the aptasensor to detect CPF in real samples was assessed by testing extracts of cucumber, tomato, and lettuce.

毒死蜱（Chlorpyrifos， CPF）是一种有机磷农药，是防治农业害虫的重要手段。然而，这种化合物的残留，即使浓度很低，也会引起对环境和人类健康的严重关切，包括神经毒性、遗传毒性和生殖影响。本研究旨在利用P@N， S-CDs/CNFs与金纳米颗粒（AuNPs）设计和制造一种高灵敏度的适体电化学生物传感器，用于检测水果和蔬菜样品中的CPF。首先，将氮和硫共掺杂的碳点（N, S-CDs）掺入聚丙烯腈（PAN）聚合物中，通过静电纺丝形成N， S-CDs/CNFs。随后，P@N， S-CDs/CNFs在热处理过程中产生。采用杂化材料（P@N, S-CDs/CNFs）对玻璃碳电极（GCE）表面进行修饰，然后采用滴铸法将AuNPs放置在P@N， S-CDs/CNFs修饰的GCE上。通过XRD、FTIR和SEM分析证实了纳米材料的成功合成。在最佳条件下，该传感器显示出从0.1 fg mL−1到800 pg mL−1的广泛线性范围，计算检测限低至0.033 fg mL−1。通过对黄瓜、番茄和生菜提取物的检测，评估了该传感器在实际样品中检测CPF的能力。

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation profiling is rapidly emerging as a promising approach for the early detection of cancer. In colorectal cancer (CRC), aberrant methylation of the SEPT9 gene has been established as a reliable biomarker for early-stage diagnosis in clinical settings. However, current detection methods for DNA methylation rendered by bisulfite conversion along with probe based quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) are labor-intensive and time-consuming. In this study, we present a novel Dipyridamole-based fluorometric nanobiosensor using gold-coated silica (Au@SiO₂) nanoparticles (NPs) for sensitive and specific detection of DNA methylation of SEPT9 gene for CRC. The sensor leverages the fluorescence quenching and enhancement properties of Dipyridamole upon hybridization with methylated and unmethylated DNA sequences. By optimizing hybridization conditions and utilizing Au@SiO₂ NPs functionalized with single-stranded DNA probes, we achieved superior sensitivity and selectivity in distinguishing methylated from unmethylated sequences. The nanobiosensor demonstrated a detection limit as low as 1.5 × 10⁻¹⁶ M for unmethylated and 2.25 × 10⁻¹⁶ M for methylated, and was successfully applied to human plasma samples, showing an average recovery rate of ∼80 %. This study presents a novel approach to ctDNA methylation testing, offering several potential advantages over traditional techniques, including real-time detection, reduced sample processing time for scalable diagnostic applications in early cancer detection.

循环肿瘤DNA （ctDNA）甲基化分析正迅速成为一种有前途的癌症早期检测方法。在结直肠癌（CRC）中，SEPT9基因的异常甲基化已被确定为临床早期诊断的可靠生物标志物。然而，目前的DNA甲基化检测方法是亚硫酸氢盐转化和基于探针的定量实时聚合酶链反应（qPCR）是劳动密集型和耗时的。在这项研究中，我们提出了一种新型的基于双嘧达莫的荧光纳米生物传感器，该传感器使用金包覆二氧化硅（Au@SiO2）纳米颗粒（NPs）来灵敏和特异性地检测CRC中SEPT9基因的DNA甲基化。该传感器利用双嘧达莫与甲基化和非甲基化DNA序列杂交后的荧光猝灭和增强特性。通过优化杂交条件和利用Au@SiO2 NPs与单链DNA探针功能化，我们在区分甲基化和非甲基化序列方面取得了卓越的灵敏度和选择性。该纳米生物传感器对未甲基化的检测限低至1.5 × 10−16 M，对甲基化的检测限低至2.25 × 10−16 M，并成功应用于人血浆样品，平均回收率为80%。这项研究提出了一种新的ctDNA甲基化检测方法，与传统技术相比，它具有几个潜在的优势，包括实时检测，减少样品处理时间，用于早期癌症检测的可扩展诊断应用。

This study introduces a graphene-based biosensor developed for hemoglobin detection in clinical and point-of-care use. Optimization through COMSOL Multiphysics produced high performance parameters. The sensor achieved a sensitivity of 200 GHz/RIU, operated between 1.319 and 1.331 THz, and exhibited quality factors from 0.915 to 2.439. Electric field distribution analysis showed maximum absorption at 1.325 THz with strong field localization along the resonator edges. A machine learning model using a Stacking Ensemble Regressor was applied to predict sensor performance, reaching an R² value of 1.0 for transmission spectra across different graphene chemical potentials and incident angles. The linear correlation between resonance frequency and refractive index (R² = 0.95447) confirms the sensor's accuracy for quantitative hemoglobin measurement. The biosensor enables rapid and precise hemoglobin detection, making it suitable for portable diagnostic use in resource-limited or urgent care settings.

To break away from the reliance on equipment and time in traditional detection methods, a 3D printed chip with a combined three-dimensional complex cross-section was designed based on microfluidic technology. To verify the theoretical mixing effect, the mixing effect of the microfluidic chip was simulated and analyzed using Ansys Fluent software. Through the analysis of the visualized mixing cloud map and the data-based mixing index, it was found that the fluid achieved initial mixing in the offset mixing zone and supplementary mixing in the deflection mixing zone. The six groups of simulation results showed a stepwise increase, indicating that the microfluidic chip has a good and stable mixing effect. To verify the actual mixing performance, colorimetric mixing experiments and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS) detection experiments were conducted on the microfluidic chip, with a control experiment set up for the latter. The results showed that the mixing effect of the microfluidic chip at the same Reynolds number (Re) was in good agreement with the simulated cloud map. In the GC–MS detection, the detection value of the pesticide solution (DDV, Dichlorvos) mixed by the microfluidic chip was highly consistent with that of the well-mixed control group, verifying the scientific rationality of the microfluidic chip structure. This microfluidic chip has excellent and stable mixing performance, providing a certain theoretical and practical basis for promoting the integration and interaction of microfluidic technology and GC–MS detection technology, and is expected to be widely applied in the field of pesticide residue detection.

Pesticide residues in agricultural products are considered as one of the most important health and economic challenges. Chlorpyrifos (CPF), as a widely used organophosphate pesticide in many developing countries, requires precise monitoring due to its adverse effects on human health and the environment. In this study, a novel nanobiosensor was designed and developed for the rapid and sensitive detection of CPF. The system was based on an AuNPs@ZIF-8 nanocomposite as a detection platform which coupled with fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) and metal enhanced fluorescence mechanisms (MEF) processes, in which a CPF-specific aptamer was employed as the recognition element. FRET was occurred after oligonucleotides hybridization and following MEF process was observed after conjugation with nanocomposite. Subsequently, by addition of CPF target the fluorescence intensity of both applied released fluorophores was enhanced. The results demonstrated that the proposed sensor exhibited linear range between of 0.75–5.22 pM with very low detection limit (0.0817 pM). Moreover, performance evaluation in real pistachio samples showed satisfactory recovery (83–95 %) and good reproducibility (RSD: 5.3–6.4 %). Overall, this nanobiosensor can serve as an efficient and reliable tool for the rapid monitoring of chlorpyrifos in agricultural products and for improving quality control in the food industry.
