Article Abstract

More than two decades ago it was discovered that nitric oxide (NO) concentrations in gas aspirated during colonoscopy were more than 100 times higher in patients diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis (UC) than controls. While this provides a diagnostic opportunity, it has not been possible to perform in situ detection of NO via a non-invasive manner. This work presents the feasibility of in situ detection of NO by means of a capsule-like electrochemical gas sensor. Our in vivo results in a large animal model of intestinal inflammation show that NO can be directly detected at the site of inflammation and that it quickly dissipates to surrounding tissues, demonstrating the importance of in situ detection.

High-fat foods are decomposed into fatty acids during digestion and absorption, primarily occurring in the gastrointestinal tract, and numerous studies have indicated that long-term high-fat diets significantly increase the incidence of intestinal disorders. As a critical intestinal hormone, serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is involved in regulating intestinal peristalsis, secretion, and visceral sensitivity. However, due to the lack of methods capable of reproducing intestinal mechanical activities and in situ monitoring of 5-HT levels, the influence of high-fat diets on intestinal 5-HT release remains unclear.

Recently, joint replacement surgery is facing significant challenges of patient dissatisfaction and the need for revision procedures. In-situ monitoring of stress stability at the site of artificial joint replacement during postoperative evaluation is important. Mechanoluminescence (ML), a novel "force to light" conversion technology, may be used to monitor such bio-stress within tissues.

Integrating surface-enhanced fluorescence (SEF) and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) into a single probe is a natural step forward for plasmon-enhanced spectroscopy (PES), as SEF enables enhanced fluorescent imaging for fast screening of targets, while SERS allows ultrasensitive trace molecular characterization with specificity. However, many challenges remain, e.g.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features, diagnostic value, risk model and prognostic significance of epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE) in a retrospective cohort of 115 cases.

Methods: A total of 115 cases of EHE diagnosed in the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (NCC) from 2011 to 2023 were collected. The clinical and pathological features of EHE were reviewed by Fluorescence hybridization (FISH) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC).

Real-time monitoring of senescent cells is of great significance for understanding and intervening in aging. Since overexpression of endogenous β-galactosidase (β-gal) is not unique to senescent cells, probes relying solely on β-gal activity could yield inaccurate senescent cell detection. Herein, we designed a dual-mode sequential response AND logic NIR probe MFB-βgal, which contains a β-gal-cleavable unit and a morpholine unit, serving as an enzymatic activity trigger and a lysosomal targeting moiety, respectively.
