Green Fluorescent Protein-Based Glucose Indicators Report Glucose Dynamics in Living Cells
摘要： Glucose is the most important energy source for living animals. Here, we developed a series of single fluorescent protein (FP)-based glucose indicators, named as "Green Glifons", to understand the hierarchal and mutual relationships between molecules involved in energy metabolism. Three indicators showed a different EC50 for glucose (50 μM, 600 μM and 4,000 μM), producing a ~7-fold change in fluorescence intensity in response to glucose. The indicators could visualize glucose dynamics in the cytoplasm, plasma membrane, nucleus and mitochondria of living HeLa cells and in vivo, in the pharyngeal muscle of C. elegans and could measure murine blood glucose levels. Finally, the indicators were applicable to dual-color imaging, revealing the dynamic interplay between glucose and Ca2+ in mouse pancreatic MIN6 m9 β cells. We propose that these indicators will facilitate and contribute to in vivo and multi-color imaging of energy metabolism.

In Situ Enzyme Immobilization with Oxygen‐Sensitive Luminescent Metal–Organic Frameworks to Realize “All‐in‐One” Multifunctions
摘要： Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for enzyme immobilization have already shown superior tunable and designable characteristics, however, their devisable responsive properties have rarely been exploited. Herein, we integrated a responsive MOF into MOF-enzyme composite to propose an “all-in-one” multifunctional composite with catalytic and luminescence functions implemented within a single particle. As a proof-of-concept, glucose oxidase (GOx) was in situ encapsulated within an oxygen (O2)-sensitive, noble-metal-free luminescent Cu(I) triazolate framework (MAF-2), namely GOx@MAF-2. Owing to the rigid scaffold of MAF-2 and the confinement effect, the GOx@MAF-2 composite showed significantly improved stability (shelf life to 60 days and heat-resistance up to 80 oC) with good selectivity and recyclability. More importantly, the integration of the O2-sensitivity of MAF-2 allowed the GOx@MAF-2 composite rapidly and reversibly response toward dissolved O2, which realized direct and ratiometric sensing of glucose without the needs of chromogenic substrates, cascade enzymatic reactions or electrode system. A high sensitivity with a detection limit of 1.4 μM glucose was achieved, and the glucose in human sera was accurately determined. The strategy opens a new application of MOFs and can be facilely extended to various MOF-enzyme composites due to the multifunctionality of MOFs.

A novel Ag nanoparticles/TiO2 nanowires-based photodetector and glucose concentration detection
摘要： A unique vapour transport cum glancing angle deposition (VT-GLAD) technique was employed to fabricate titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanowires (NWs). The NWs were grown and assembled to form the clusters. Both brookite (412) and rutile (002) phase for TiO2 was obtained from X-ray diffraction (XRD). The d spacing of ~ 1.37 ? was calculated from the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of TiO2 NWs, which corresponds to (002) crystal plane. The silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) on TiO2 NWs were grown using thermal evaporation cum GLAD technique. The presence of Ag NPs on the TiO2 NWs enhanced the photoconduction as compared to bare TiO2 NWs device. The maximum photosensitivity of the Ag NPs/TiO2 NWs based device was recorded ~ 1.6 times compared to the bare TiO2 NWs based device at ? 2.5 V. The Ag NPs containing device was highly UV sensitive and maximum responsivity for the device was calculated to be ~ 2.3 A/W at 370 nm. The device also possessed high responsivity rejection (RR) ratio of ~ 6.5 between UV (370 nm) and visible (450 nm) light. The Ag NPs decorated TiO2 NWs based detector also showed response to white light. The different concentration of glucose into deionised (DI) water-based solution was detected precisely under white light illumination. The normalised (light/dark) detector current/glucose concentration value was decreased from ~ 0.19 to ~ 0.05 at ? 2.5 V, with an increase in glucose concentration into the solution from 40 mg/dl to 200 mg/dl.

Aminoboronic acid-functionalized graphitic carbon nitride quantum dots for the photoluminescence multi-chemical sensing probe
摘要： This paper reports a highly sensitive photoluminescence glucose sensor based on aminoboronic acid-functionalized carbon nitride quantum dots (g-CNQDs/3APBA) fabricated using melamine and 3-aminophenylboronic acid via a facile two-step synthesis process. By introducing the covalent bonds between g-CNQDs and boronic acid groups, it can be effectively used as “on-off-on” based multi-chemical sensor. The g-CNQDs/3APBA exhibited quantum yields (QYs) as high as 78.5%, which is the highest QYs among fluorescence sensors based on g-CNQDs reported thus far. The material showed a wide linear range of 0 – 10 mM and a detection limit as low as 42 nM with excellent selectivity. In addition, it exhibited comparable performance compared to those of a commercial glucometer in a real blood test. Owing to the excellent bio-imaging properties and low cytotoxicity, g-CNQDs/3APBA is a promising candidate as a sensing material for biomedical and clinical applications.

Photocatalytic Reforming of Sugar and Glucose into H2 over Functionalized Graphene Dots
摘要： Photocatalytic reforming of biomass into H2 combining with its photosynthesis counterpart constitutes a sustainable carbon cycle that produces a clean solar fuel. This study reports the use of environmentally benign graphene-based photocatalysts to effectively reform sugar and glucose. We produce a catalyst consisting of sulfur and nitrogen codoped graphene oxide dots (SNGODs) by sequentially annealing graphite-derived graphene oxide with sulfur and ammonia, exfoliating the annealed product into dots, and autoclaving the dots in an ammonia solution. The codoping introduces quaternary nitrogen on the graphene basal plane to patch the vacancy defects and the autoclaving creates a conjugation between the nitrogen nonbonding states and the graphitic-π orbital by introducing peripheral amide and amino groups. These functionalization steps enlarge the electron resonance domain, narrowing the bandgap and inducing charge delocalization and separation. Here, when SNGODs deposited with a Pt cocatalyst effectively catalyzed H2 production from aqueous solutions of sugar and glucose under visible light irradiation for more than 80 h. The apparent quantum yields of the reforming of sugar and glucose reach 11% and 7.4%, respectively, under 420-nm monochromatic irradiation. This pioneer study demonstrates the superiority of using carbon-based photocatalysts for biomass reforming and provides a structure-tuning strategy for enhancing the catalytic activity.

A Glucose Oxidase-Instructed Fluorescence Amplification Strategy for Intracellular Glucose Detection
摘要： The accurate detection of glucose in the cellular level remains a big challenge. In this study, a signal amplification strategy mediated by silver nanocube (AgNC), glucose oxidase (GOx) and silver ion fluorescence probe (denoted as AgNC-GOx/Ag+-FP) is proposed for amplified intracellular glucose detection. The AgNC is oxidized into Ag+ by H2O2 generated from the GOx-catalyzed glucose oxidation reaction, and Ag+ remarkably enhances the red fluorescence of Ag+-FP. Our results show that the AgNC-GOx/Ag+-FP is highly sensitive and specific to glucose and H2O2. Afterwards, the feasibility of using AgNC-GOx/Ag+-FP to detect intracellular glucose is verified in five different cell lines. In summary, a sensitive and specific fluorescence amplification strategy has been developed for intracellular glucose detection.

Improving Photovoltaic and Enzymatic-Sensing Performance by Coupling Core-Shell Au Nanorod@TiO2 Heterostructure with Bioinspired L-DOPA Polymer
摘要： The photoelectrochemistry (PEC) performance of TiO2 is somewhat limited by its wide band gap and low quantum efficiency, and the innovation of its composite materials provides a promising solution for an improved performance. Herein, a composite of an Au nanorod@TiO2 core-shell nanostructure (AuNR@TiO2) and a melanin-like L-DOPA polymer (PD) is designed and prepared, where the outer-layer PD tethered by the TiO2-hydroxyl complexation and the AuNR core can intensify the long-wavelength light harvesting, and the AuNR@TiO2 core-shell structure can strengthen the hot-electron transfer to TiO2. The photocurrent of the PD/AuNR@TiO2 is 8.4-fold improved versus that of commercial TiO2, and the maximum incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency reaches 65% in the UV-visible-near-infrared region. In addition, the novel PD/AuNR@TiO2 photocatalyst possesses the advantages of good biocompatibility and stability, which can act as a versatile PEC biosensing platform for providing biocompatible environment and improving detection sensitivity. Herein, a PEC enzymatic biosensor of glucose is developed on the basis of the immobilization of dual enzyme (glucose oxidase (GOx) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP)) in PD and the signalling strategy of biocatalytic precipitation. In phosphate buffer containing glucose and 4-chloro-1-naphthol, the HRP-catalyzed oxidation of 4-chloro-1-naphthol by GOx-generated H2O2 can form a precipitate on the electrode, by which the decrement of photocurrent intensity is proportional to the common logarithm of glucose concentration. The linear detection range is from 0.05 μM to 10.0 mM glucose, with a limit of detection of 0.01 μM (S/N=3). Glucose in some human serum samples is analyzed with satisfactory results.

Bifunctional gold nanoclusters enable ratiometric fluorescence nanosensing of hydrogen peroxide and glucose
摘要： The accurate quantification of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and glucose is essential significance in clinical diagnosis. Herein a selective and sensitive ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor was developed for the determination of H2O2 and glucose by integrating peroxidase–like catalytic and fluorescent bifunctional properties of glutathione protected gold nanoclusters (GSH–AuNCs). The GSH–AuNCs exhibit inherent peroxidase–like activity and accelerate the decomposition of H2O2 into hydroxyl radicals. The produced hydroxyl radicals oxidize terephthalic acid (TA), a typical non–fluorescent substrate of peroxidase, to a highly fluorescent product hydroxyterephthalate (TAOH). Upon excitation with single–wavelength at 315 nm, dual–emission fluorescence peaks were recorded at 430 and 600 nm simultaneously. The fluorescence signal of TAOH at 430 nm continuously increased with increasing the concentration of H2O2 while the fluorescence signal of GSH–AuNCs at 600 nm remained unchangeable. Based upon on these facts, a ratiometric fluorescent nanosensor was fabricated for H2O2 assay with TAOH as response unit and GSH–AuNCs as reference, respectively. By converting glucose into H2O2 with catalytic oxidation of glucose oxidase (GOx), this nanosensor was further exploited for glucose assay. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limits of 10 nmol/L H2O2 and 20 nmol/L glucose were acquired. The relative standard deviations were less than 5% for both H2O2 and glucose (5.0 μmol/L solution, n = 11). The practicability of the nanosensor was verified by the determination of glucose in human serum samples. This nanosensor can be easily expanded as a general platform for the detection of other substances involving H2O2 produced or consumed.

Prediction Quality of Glucose Trend Indicators in Two Continuous Tissue Glucose Monitoring SystemsParts of these data were previously presented at the 53rd Annual Meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes, September 11–15, 2017, Lisbon, Portugal.
摘要： Background: Continuous interstitial glucose monitoring (CGM) systems often provide glucose trend indicators (e.g., arrows) in addition to current glucose values. These indicators are recommended to be used in therapeutic decisions, because they are ascribed predictive qualities by CGM system manufacturers and expert committees. This study assessed how reliably trend indicators match future glucose change, because such information is missing. Methods: In a clinical trial, two different CGM systems were used by 20 participants, with two sensors of each system per patient. Participants used the systems for 14 days with three study site visits (48 h each). During study site visits, glucose trend indicators, as displayed by the CGM systems, were recorded at least once per hour during daytime and once at night in a diary. In addition, CGM data were downloaded from the devices. Trend indicators were compared with glucose change calculated from CGM data >30 min after recording the trend indicator. Results: Approximately 60% of trend indicators matched the glucose change calculated from CGM data. More than 10% of trend indicators differed by at least two trend indicator categories. Focusing on trend indicators recorded around carbohydrate (CHO) intake and insulin deliveries resulted in approximately half of trend indicators matching the calculated glucose change. Conclusions: Trend indicators do not always match future glucose change, especially within the first few hours after CHO intake and insulin deliveries. Manufacturers’ labeling and recommendations should reflect this, so that CGM users can make informed decisions.

Comparative assessment of linear least-squares, nonlinear least-squares, and Patlak graphical method for regional and local quantitative tracer kinetic modelling in cerebral dynamic <sup>18</sup> F-FDG PET
摘要： Purpose: Dynamic 18F-FDG PET allows quantitative estimation of cerebral glucose metabolism both at the regional and local (voxel) level. Although sensitive to noise and highly computationally expensive, nonlinear least-squares (NLS) optimization stands as the reference approach for the estimation of the kinetic model parameters. Nevertheless, faster techniques, including linear least-squares (LLS) and Patlak graphical method, have been proposed to deal with high resolution noisy data, representing a more adaptable solution for routine clinical implementation. Former research investigating the relative performance of the available algorithms lack precise evaluation of kinetic parameter estimates under realistic acquisition conditions. Methods: The present study aims at the systematic comparison of the feasibility and pertinence of kinetic modelling of dynamic cerebral 18F-FDG PET using NLS, LLS, and Patlak method, based on numerical simulations and patient data. Numerical simulations were used to study and parameters estimation bias and variance under representative noise levels. Patient data allowed to assess the concordance between the three methods at the regional and voxel scale, and to evaluate the robustness of the estimations with respect to patient head motion. Results and Conclusions: Our findings indicate that at the regional level NLS and LLS provide kinetic parameter estimates ( and ) with similar bias and variance characteristics ( bias ± rel. std dev. 0.0±5.1% and 0.1%±4.9% for NLS and LLS respectively, bias ± rel. std dev. 0.1%±4.5% and -0.7%±4.4% for NLS and LLS respectively), NLS estimates being however slightly less sensitive to patient motion. At the voxel level, provided that patient motion is negligible or corrected, LLS offers an appealing alternative solution for local mapping, with high correlation with NLS values (Pearson’s r = 0.95 on actual data) in computations times less than two orders of magnitude lower. Last, Patlak method appears as the most robust and accurate technique for the estimation of values at the regional and voxel scale, with or without head motion. It provides low bias / low variance quantification (bias ± rel. std dev. -1.5±9.5% and -4.1±19.7% for Patlak and NLS respectively) as well as smooth parametric images suitable for visual assessment.
