Article Abstract

MiRNA-155 is a reliable biomarker for cancers and allergic rhinitis and also plays a critical role in regulating gene expression and mediating the allergic TH2 process. The accurate determination of miRNA-155 is significant for diagnosing allergic rhinitis, especially for children. Herein, Yb-BiS nanorods were prepared through a hydrothermal method. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were then assembled onto the Yb-BiS nanorods surface to obtain a Yb-BiS/AuNP nanocomposite. Yb-BiS/AuNP nanocomposite was used as a photoactive element for fabricating a near-infrared photoelectrochemical aptasensing platform by assembling an aptamer for the specific recognition of miRNA-155. The variation in photocurrent of the photoelectrochemical aptasensor before and after recognizing miRNA-155 was linearly related to the miRNA-155 concentration in the range of 1.0 fmol L to 1.0 nmol L. The detection limit was calculated to be 0.34 fmol L. The developed photoelectrochemical aptasensor was successfully employed for determining miRNA-155 in serum samples with satisfactory results, indicating that it possessed practical application in the determination of miRNA-155 in real samples.

Tetracycline (TC) is a common antibiotic with broad antibacterial activity, yet its excessive abuse will leave antibiotic residues in animal-derived food, posing some threats to human health. Therefore, developing a simple and effective technology for TC trace analysis is immediately important for food safety. Herein, the sensitive PEC aptasensor within Z-scheme heterojunction, based on Bi/BiMoO and P-doped ultrathin porous g-CN (PCN), was constructed by elemental doping strategy, hydrothermal method and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect.

Sulfadimethoxine (SDM) is an antibiotic used in treating bacterial infections, but it poses health risks if it enters human body through food chains. In this study, a grain-boundary-rich high-entropy selenide (CdCoCuMnZn)Se was prepared by a one-pot solvothermal strategy. Its microstructure, photoactivity and photostability were investigated using various techniques, whose dynamic mechanism was elucidated and the role of elemental doping in enhancing photoelectrochemical (PEC) performance was rigorously evaluated in control groups.

Patulin (PAT), a potent mycotoxin commonly found in fruit and vegetable products, represents a critical threat to food safety and public health. Its cytotoxicity arises from the disruption of intracellular signaling pathways and oxidative balance, leading to gastrointestinal impairment, immune suppression, and systemic toxicity. To mitigate these risks, we present a label-free photoelectrochemical (PEC) aptasensor for ultrasensitive PAT detection, employing an in situ-synthesized AgS quantum dot (QD)-sensitized BiOI/BiO heterojunction.
