The rapid detection of trace metals is one of the most important aspect in achieving environmental monitoring and protection. Electrochemical sensors remain a key solution for rapid detection of heavy metals in environmental water matrices. This paper reports the fabrication of an electrochemical sensor obtained by the simultaneous electrodeposition of MnO2 nanoparticles and RGO nanosheets on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode. The successful electrodeposition was confirmed by the enhanced current response on the cyclic voltammograms. The XRD, HR-SEM/EDX, TEM, FTIR, and BET characterization confirmed the successful synthesis of MnO2 nanoparticles, RGO nanosheets, and MnO2@RGO nanocomposite. The electrochemical studies results revealed that MnO2@RGO@GCE nanocomposite considerably improved the current response on the detection of Zn(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) ions in surface water. These remarkable improvements were due to the interaction between MnO2 nanomaterials and RGO nanosheets. Moreover, the modified sensor electrode portrayed high sensitivity, reproducibility, and stability on the simultaneous determination of Zn(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) ions. The detection limits of (S/N = 3) ranged from 0.002–0.015 μg L−1 for the simultaneous detection of Zn(II), Cd(II), and Cu(II) ions. The results show that MnO2@RGO nanocomposite can be successfully used for the early detection of heavy metals with higher sensitivity in water sample analysis.

Abstract PURPOSE Fluorescence imaging is an important surgical adjunct in malignant glioma surgery. 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) has been proven effective for radical tumor resection and extended progression-free survival in a phase III randomized trial and therefore integrated into surgery for malignant glioma. Importantly, however, some limitations still exist in its use, which include false positivity and false negativity as well as inability of re-administration. In this study, we aimed to develop a novel, spray-type fluorescent probe using hydroxymethyl rhodamine green (HMRG) as a fluorescent scaffold. METHODS We have previously established a fluorescent probe library comprised of more than 320 kinds of HMRG probes. They have HMRG as a fluorescent scaffold with various types of dipeptides attached to it. Primary probe screening was performed using the homogenized tumor samples from patients with glioblastoma operated at our institution. Secondary screening followed using the selected probes and fresh tumor samples obtained from patients with glioblastoma operated from 2016 until 2018. Diced electrophoresis gel (DEG) assay, two-dimensional gel electrophoresis followed by a multi-well plate-based fluorometric assay, was performed to identify responsible enzymes for the selected probe. Further experiments with inhibitors, real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry, and western blotting were performed for confirmation. RESULTS Proline-arginine-HMRG (PR-HMRG) was selected as a candidate probe based upon the above two-step screenings. It achieved 79.4% accuracy in receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Calpain-1 was found to be responsible to cleave PR-HMRG probe by DEG-proteome analysis. Calpain-1 protein was highly expressed in tumor tissues which reacted to PR-HMRG probe. CONCLUSIONS Our innovative screening method was able to find PR-HMRG as a novel fluorescent probe effective for rapid detection of glioblastoma. A preclinical study is planned to assess the efficacy and safety of the selected probe.

Abstract Background: Canine Kobuvirus (CaKoV) and Canine Circovirus (CaCV) are viruses that infect dogs causing diarrheal symptoms that are very similar. However, there is no clinical method to detect a co-infection of these two viruses.Results: In this study, a duplex SYBR Green I-based quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay for the rapid and simultaneous detection of CaKoV and CaCV was established. CaKoV and CaCV were distinguished by their different melting temperature which was 86℃ for CaKoV and 78℃ for CaCV. The assay was highly specific, with no cross-reactivity with other common canine viruses and demonstrated high sensitivity. The detection limits of CaKoV and CaCV were 8.924 × 101 copies/μL and 3.841 × 101 copies/μL, respectively. The highest intra- and inter-assay Ct value variation coefficients (CV) of CaKoV were 0.40% and 0.96%, respectively. For CaCV, the highest intra- and inter-assay Ct value variation coefficients were 0.26% and 0.70%, respectively. In 57 clinical samples, positive detection rates of CaKoV and CaCV were 8.77% (7/57) and 15.79% (9/57), respectively. The co-infection rate was 7.02% (4/57). Conclusions: The duplex SYBR Green I-based real-time PCR assay established in this study is a fast, efficient, and sensitive method for the simultaneous detection of the two viruses and provides a powerful tool for the rapid detection of CaKoV and CaCV in clinical practice.
