Au nanorod assembly for sensitive SERS detection of airway inflammatory factors in sputum
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 In this paper, we demonstrate a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) biosensor based on the self-assembly of gold nanorods (AuNRs) for the specific detection of airway inflammatory factors in diluted sputum.

SERS Facemask for Rapid and Portable Sensing Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Antigens for TB Screening
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Our study introduced an Au─Ag embedded covalent organic framework (U@COF) ‐mediated facemask for sensing TB antigen ESAT‐6/CFP‐10 complex in clinical droplet samples toward TB screening. Practical analysis of clinical samples demonstrated the availability of our facemask, which is capable of identifying the TB subjects (N = 17) from healthy candidates (

Sputum as a source of adipokines in bronchial asthma
Учёные записки Санкт-Петербургского государственного медицинского университета им. Акад. И.П. Павлова, 2014 Forty-four patients with allergic (ABA) and non-allergic (NABA) variants of bronchial asthma (BA) were examined to evaluate levels of key adipokines (leptin, resistin, adiponectin) in sputum in different variants of BA.

Sputum Galactomannan Has Utility in the Diagnosis of Chronic Pulmonary Aspergillosis
Journal of Fungi, 2022 Diagnosis of pulmonary aspergillosis (PA), a fungal disease caused by Aspergillus species, is challenging since symptoms are unspecific. The galactomannan (antigen secreted by Aspergillus species) test in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid is a valuable ...

Bilateral SERS‐Microneedle Patch for Co‐Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus and Tuberculosis Comorbidity
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Our study introduced a U@mP@Au‐mediated bilateral SERS‐microneedle patch for analyzing glucose levels from ISF and sensitively detecting TB biomarkers from sputum, respectively. This integrated dual‐analyte detecting platform can be used for co‐diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) comorbidity, which was demonstrated in ex vivo ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Human neutrophils exist as two epigenetically imprinted subtypes defined by stable CD177 expression or absence — a ratio that persists across time, circadian rhythms, and inflammation. CD177− neutrophils display a distinct molecular landscape enriched in arginase 1 and lipid metabolism markers, accumulate in head‐and‐neck tumors, and associate with ...

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.Through HPLC–MS/MS analysis and multivariate statistics, raphani semen (RS) varieties with high functional components were screened. The white raphani semen “Xuebawang” was identified as ideal for further study due to its high bioactive content: glucoraphenin (9010.27 mg/100 g), glucoraphanin (1027.76 mg/100 g), sulforaphane (66.14 mg/100 g), and ...
