A novel nanocomposite hydrogel-based Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) platform was successfully fabricated using Ag NPs/S-CNF/PVA hydrogel as the core matrix, demonstrating exceptional swelling-deswelling behavior. By evenly distributing a large number of Ag NPs on the surface of S-CNF, a one-dimensional tightly arranged "hot spot" was successfully constructed, which significantly improved the SERS effect and improved the sensitivity and uniformity of the SERS platform. The experimental results show that Rhodamine 6G (R6G) of 10-7 M can be detected, RSD = 1.90 %. At the same time, PVA hydrogel, as an excellent packaging material, can effectively isolate Ag NPs/S-CNF/PVA composite from the external environment, which helps to maintain the SERS property of the film, but also makes the film more durable and reliable in practical applications. By using different signal molecule modification, different substances were determined. It is worth mentioning that the substrate showed excellent SERS activity on glucose and pH, which has the potential to be applied in non-invasive tear glucose and pH monitoring system. Given its excellent flexibility and repeatability, the substrate is expected to be integrated into a variety of wearable biosensors, thus advancing the development of biological process research. Overall, by combining a flexible SERS 3D substrate, this approach shows great potential and application prospects in the study of biological processes.
A straightforward analysis strategy based on Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) technology was developed for determining amino acid levels in sweat. Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is an excellent polymer that is used to coat the surface of sulfonated cellulose silver nanocomposites (S-CNF-Ag NPs) films to improve the mechanical properties and sensing properties of the two-dimensional substrate. The S-CNF-Ag-PVB film showed a significant increase in tensile stress and strain, reaching a stress level of 88.34 MPa, toughness of 5620 kJ/m3, and a 3-fold increase in strain. It also exhibits excellent SERS activity when detecting methylene blue (MB) signal molecules, with a minimum detection of 10−9 M. As an ultrasensitive SERS sensor, S-CNF-Ag-PVB demonstrates excellent sensing properties for tryptophan (Trp), tyrosine (Tyr), arginine (Arg), glutamic acid (Glu), and phenylalanine (Phe) as sweat metabolites. The developed two-dimensional substrate has been effectively utilized for the precise detection of amino acids in sweat.
In this study, a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrate based on oxidized sodium alginate (OSA)-modified silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) was developed for the highly sensitive detection of urine biomarkers. Compared to conventional citrate-reduced Ag NPs, the OSA-Ag NPs eliminate the need for additional reducing agents, offering cost-effectiveness and alignment with green chemistry principles. OSA acts as both a stabilizer and a binding site for Ag NPs, enabling uniform nanoparticle distribution and enhanced substrate robustness. This modification significantly improves the substrate's high-salinity stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility. Furthermore, the OSA-Ag NPs substrate exhibited remarkable storage stability, maintaining 92.49 % SERS intensity after 50 days under ambient conditions, which outperforms traditional Ag colloid substrates. The OSA-Ag NPs exhibited detection limits as low as 1.9 × 10-4 M for urea, 2.4 × 10-7 M for creatinine, and 2.7 × 10-7 M for bilirubin, demonstrating high sensitivity and a wide linear range. In artificial urine, the OSA-Ag NPs with high accuracy and repeatability, confirming their practical utility. These results highlight the OSA-Ag NPs substrate as a promising tool for urine biomarker detection, particularly in high-salinity environments. Its ability to maintain performance in complex biological matrices suggests potential for rapid and precise diagnostics, advancing the field of biosensing.
Silver nanowire (Ag NW)/gold nanosphere (Au NS) binary plasma films were prepared using plasma coupling between Ag NWs and Au NSs. The plasma films formed by combining these two noble metals showed better sensitivity for SERS detection with a minimum detection concentration of 10−8 M for R6G compared to pure Ag NWs or Au NSs. After rational optimisation of the substrate preparation process, the substrate showed good homogeneity, reproducibility and stability. We perform an indirect detection of homocysteine (Hcy) through a specific reaction of Hcy with o-phthalaldehyde (OPA). The lowest detectable concentration of Hcy was 5 × 10−9 M. The recoveries of Hcy were 94.53 103.43
As a reactive oxygen species (ROS), excessive production of H2O2 contributes to the development of several diseases such as, inflammation, cancer, and respiratory diseases. Supplementation with endogenous or exoge-nous antioxidants can scavenge ROS and reduce the oxidation of cellular molecules, thus alleviating the gen-eration of diseases. Therefore, the determination of H2O2 content and its antioxidant activity is of great importance in disease diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, a ratiometric SERS sensor with a flexible cellulose membrane was designed for quantitative detection of H2O2 and assessment of antioxidant activity. First, gold seeds were reduced on bacterial cellulose membrane (BCM) and Au NPs were smoothly deposited on the bac-terial cellulose membrane (BCM) using halides to reduce the reduction potential in the growth solution to form a flexible BCM@Au NPs SERS substrate. Afterwards, the oxidation of H2O2 was used to convert 3-mercaptophenyl-boronic acid (3-MPBA) to the corresponding phenol form 3-hydroxyphenylethanol (3-HTP). The change of substance resulted in a good linear relationship between the intensity ratio corresponding to the two Raman shifts of 881 cm-1 and 995 cm-1 and the H2O2 concentration with a detection limit of 0.0186 mu M. This opens up a new method for the detection of H2O2 with high sensitivity and accuracy. In addition, this SERS platform was successfully used for the determination of antioxidant activity. It is promising to be applied to disease diagnosis and efficacy evaluation.
Composite magnetic nanoparticles Fe3O4@PB@Au 3 O 4 @PB@Au nano-enzymes were synthesised to combine colorimetry and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to construct sensors for sensing H2O2 2 O 2 and glucose detection. Glucose oxidase (GOx) was assembled to Fe3O4@PB@Au 3 O 4 @PB@Au to form Fe3O4@PB@Au@GOx 3 O 4 @PB@Au@GOx integrated nano- enzymes, which catalyse the formation of gluconic acid and H2O2 2 O 2 from glucose. In the presence of H2O2, 2 O 2 , Fe3O4@PB@Au, 3 O 4 @PB@Au, as a peroxidase model enzyme, catalyses the oxidation of 3,3 ',5,5 '-tetramethylbenzidine ' ,5,5 '-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) to blue charge transfer complex (oxTMB) for color development and as a substrate to facilitate the detection of oxTMB by SERS. In addition, Fe3O4@PB@Au 3 O 4 @PB@Au has good homogeneity, reproducibility, stability and reusability, which ensures the long-term applicability of the sensing system. The limits of detection (LOD) for H2O2 2 O 2 glucose were 13.4 mu M and 0.313 mM in the colorimetric assay; the LODs for H2O2 2 O 2 and glucose in the SERS assay were as low as 38 nM and 2.94 mu M. The nano-enzymes could be successfully applied to serum without pretreatment, and this cross-referencing strategy improved the detection limit of the colorimetric assay and the accuracy of the SERS assay.

Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) is always challenging for the detection of complex samples due to the pre-processing issues. Therefore, there is a need to develop a high-performance SERS platform that can avoid pre-processing problems and simultaneously enrich target molecules. In this work, we encapsulated cationic cellulose nanofibers (CCNF) stabilized Ag NCs in polyacrylamide hydrogels via photo-crosslinking to construct a high-performance SERS platform for rapid separation, concentration, and enrichment without pretreatment. Ag NCs/CCNF/PAAM hydrogels have good swelling and shrinking properties, which are favorable for enriching the substances to be measured and improving the sensitivity of the SERS platform. The limit of detection (LOD) was as low as 9.33 x 10- 11 M for the detection of the dye molecule R6G. The hydrogel SERS platform has excellent selectivity. Its pores can be adjusted to allow the entry of small hydrophilic molecules and the exclusion of large molecules and hydrophobic substances in complex samples. Therefore, we performed the SERS assay for hydrophilic anticancer drugs in the plasma environment, where the hydrogel allowed doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) and 6-thioguanine (6-TG) to enter into the interior of the hydrogel, while hydrophobic substances such as plasma proteins and lipids in plasma were excluded from the hydrogel. As a validation, we performed spiking experiments on plasma from five lung cancer patients, and the assay was sensitive and reliable, with recoveries ranging from 89.0% to 111.0%. Based on the above results, Ag NCs/CCNF/PAAM hydrogels are promising for the real-time detection of drugs in clinical blood.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) on tau protein aggregation in neurodegeneration and persistent neuroinflammation after cerebral microinfarcts. A model of diffuse ischemic brain injury was established, and adenovirus was injected stereotactically through the lateral ventricle of mice. The water content of the brain tissue was measured. The co-expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and AQP4 and the aggregation of p-tau and neuronal marker were detected through immunofluorescence double staining. The expression of phosphorylated microtubule-associated protein tau (p-tau, Ser202/Thr205, Thr205, Ser396, Ser404), interleukin(IL)-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-a, growth associated protein43 (GAP43), GFAP, and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1) was detected through Western blot. It was found that the brain water content in the model group was increased and decreased after the AQP4 interference. Compared with the sham group, the expression of GFAP, p-tau, IL-1β, TNF-a, Iba1, and p-tau was increased in the model group (p < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the expression of p-tau, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-a, GFAP, and Iba1 was decreased after AQP4 interference (p < 0.05). It is indicated that AQP4 positively regulates neurodegeneration and persistent neuroinflammation caused by tau protein aggregation after cerebral microinfarcts.

Background. Chlorogenic acid (CGA) is a polyphenolic compound with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. CGA has been shown to improve neuroinflammation. This study is aimed at elucidating the exact mechanism by which CGA reduces neuroinflammation. Methods. Oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) was utilized to treat BV2 microglia and HT-22 hippocampal neurons to engineer an in vitro model of hypoxic ischemia reperfusion. The levels of inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, IL-4, and IL-10) and oxidative stress factors (MDA, SOD, and GSH-PX) in microglia were determined by ELISA kits. The neuron proliferation was assessed by CCK-8 assay, and LDH kit was used to determine LDH release in neurons. The fluorescent dye DCF-DA was employed to measure ROS levels in neurons. Correlation of MIR497HG, miR-29b-3p, and SIRT1/NF-κB in neurons and microglia was determined by qRT-PCR. Expressions of inflammatory proteins (COX2, iNOS), oxidative stress pathways (Nrf2, HO-1), and apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl-2, Bax, caspase3, caspase8, and caspase9) in microglia or neurons were determined by western blot. The interactions between MIR497HG and miR-29b-3p, as well as between miR-29b-3p and SIRT1, were determined by dual luciferase assay and RIP assay. Results. CGA attenuated OGD-mediated inflammation and oxidative stress in microglia and inhibited microglia-mediated neuronal apoptosis. CGA increased the levels of MIR497HG and SIRT1 and suppressed the levels of miR-29b-3p in BV2 and HT-22 cells. MIR497HG knockdown, miR-29b-3p upregulation, and SIRT1 inhibition inhibited CGA-mediated anti-inflammatory and neuronal protective functions. There is a targeting correlation between MIR497HG, miR-29b-3p, and Sirt1. MIR497HG sponges miR-29b-3p to regulate SIRT1 expression in an indirect manner. Conclusion. CGA upregulates MIR497HG to curb miR-29b-3p expression, hence initiating the SIRT1/NF-κB signaling pathway and repressing OGD-elicited inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuron apoptosis.

Herein, a versatile fluorescent bioanalysis platform for sensitive and specific screening of target miRNA (miR-129-2-3p) was innovatively designed by applying target-induced rolling circle amplification (RCA) for efficient signal amplification. Specifically, miR-129-2-3p was used as a ligation template to facilitate its ligation with padlock probes, followed by an RCA reaction in the presence of phi29 DNA polymerase. The dsDNA fragments and products were stained by SYBR Green I and then detected by fluorescence spectrophotometry. As a result, miR-129-2-3p concentrations as low as 50 nM could be detected. Furthermore, the expression of miR-129-2-3p in breast cancer patients was about twice that in healthy people. Therefore, the results indicated that the RCA-based biosensor system could be a valuable platform for miRNA detection in clinical diagnosis and biomedical study.
