Abstract
Metal nanoclusters (MNCs) represent a promising class of materials for catalytic carbon dioxide and proton reduction as well as dihydrogen oxidation. In such reactions, multiple proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) processes are typically involved, and the current understanding of PCET mechanisms in MNCs has primarily focused on the sequential transfer mode. However, a concerted transfer pathway, i.e., concerted electron-proton transfer (CEPT), despite its potential for a higher catalytic rate and lower reaction barrier, still lacks comprehensive elucidation. Herein, we introduce an experimental paradigm to test the feasibility of the CEPT process in MNCs, by employing Au18(SR)14 (SR denotes thiolate ligand), Au22(SR)18, and Au25(SR)18- as model clusters. Detailed investigations indicate that the photoinduced PCET reactions in the designed system proceed via an CEPT pathway. Furthermore, the rate constants of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have been found to be correlated with both the size of the cluster and the flexibility of the Au-S framework. This newly identified PCET behavior in AuNCs is prominently different from that observed in semiconductor quantum dots and plasmonic metal nanoparticles. Our findings are of crucial importance for unveiling the catalytic mechanisms of quantum-confined metal nanomaterials and for the future rational design of more efficient catalysts.

Abstract
α-Glucosidase (α-Glu) is implicated in the progression and pathogenesis of type II diabetes (T2D). In this study, we developed a rapid colorimetric technique using platinum nanoparticles stabilized by chitosan (Ch-PtNPs) to detect α-Glu activity and its inhibitor. The Ch-PtNPs facilitate the conversion of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) into oxidized TMB (oxTMB) in the presence of dissolved O2. The catalytic hydrolysis of 2-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-L-ascorbic acid (AA-2G) by α-Glu produces ascorbic acid (AA), which reduces oxTMB to TMB, leading to the fading of the blue color. However, the presence of α-Glu inhibitors (AGIs) hinders the generation of AA, allowing Ch-PtNPs to re-oxidize colorless TMB back to blue oxTMB. This unique phenomenon enables the colorimetric detection of α-Glu activity and AGIs. The linear range for α-Glu was found to be 0.1-1.0 U mL-1 and the detection limit was 0.026 U mL-1. Additionally, the half-maximal inhibition value (IC50) for acarbose, an α-Glu inhibitor, was calculated to be 0.4769 mM. Excitingly, this sensing platform successfully detected α-Glu activity in human serum samples and effectively screened AGIs. These promising findings highlight the potential application of the proposed strategy in clinical diabetes diagnosis and drug discovery.

Abstract
Helical mandibular distraction is theoretically better than linear or circular distraction. However, it is not known whether this more complex treatment will result in unquestionably better outcomes. Therefore, the best attainable outcomes of mandibular distraction osteogenesis were evaluated in silico, given the constraints of linear, circular, and helical motion. This cross-sectional kinematic study included 30 patients with mandibular hypoplasia who had been treated with distraction, or to whom this treatment had been recommended. Demographic information and the computed tomography (CT) scans showing the baseline deformity were collected. The CT scans of each patient were segmented and three-dimensional models of the face created. Then, the ideal distraction outcomes were simulated. Next, the most favorable helical, circular, and linear distraction movements were calculated. Finally, errors were measured: misalignment of key mandibular landmarks, misalignment of the occlusion, and changes in intercondylar distance. Helical distraction produced trivial errors. In contrast, circular and linear distractions resulted in errors that were statistically and clinically significant. Helical distraction also preserved the planned intercondylar distance, while circular and linear distractions led to unwanted changes in the intercondylar distance. It is now evident that helical distraction offers a new strategy to improve the outcomes of mandibular distraction osteogenesis.

Abstract
Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections, especially those caused by multidrug-resistant Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria, are an ever-growing threat because of the shrinking arsenal of efficacious antibiotics. Therefore, it is urgently needed to develop a kind of novel, long-term antibacterial agent effectively overcome resistant bacteria. Herein, we present a novel designed antibacterial agent-6-Aza-2-thiothymine-capped gold nanoclusters (ATT-AuNCs), which show excellent antibacterial activity against multidrug-resistant E. coli bacteria. The prepared AuNCs could permeabilize into the bacterial cell membrane via binding with a bivalent cation (e.g., Ca2+), followed by the generation of reactive oxygen species (e.g., •OH and •O2-), ultimately resulting in protein leakage from compromised cell membranes, inducing DNA damage and upregulating pro-oxidative genes intracellular. The AuNCs also speed up the wound healing process without noticeable hemolytic activity or cytotoxicity to erythrocytes and mammalian tissue. Altogether, the results indicate the great promise of ATT-AuNCs for treating multidrug-resistant E. coli bacterial infection.

Abstract
The use of conventional antibiotic therapies is in question owing to the emergence of drug-resistant pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, novel, highly efficient antibacterial agents to effectively overcome resistant bacteria are urgently needed. Accordingly, in this work, we described a novel class luminogen of 6-Aza-2-thiothymine-decorated gold nanoclusters (ATT-AuNCs) with aggregation-induced emission property that possessed potent antimicrobial activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Scanning electron microscopy was performed to investigate the interactions between ATT-AuNCs and MRSA. In addition, ATT-AuNCs exhibited excellent ROS generation efficiency and could effectively ablate MRSA via their internalization to the cells. Finally, tandem mass tag-labeling proteome analysis was carried out to investigate the differential expression proteins in MRSA strains. The results suggested that ATT-AuNCs killed MRSA cells through altering the expression of multiple target proteins involved in DNA replication, aminoacyl-tRNA synthesis, peptidoglycan and arginine biosynthesis metabolism. Parallel reaction monitoring technique was further used for the validation of these proteome results. ATT-AuNCs could also be served as a wound-healing agent and accelerate the healing process. Overall, we proposed ATT-AuNCs could serve as a robust antimicrobial aggregation-induced emission luminogen (AIEgen) that shows the ability to alter the activities of multiple targets for the elimination of drug-resistant bacteria.

Abstract
Sulfonamides (SAs) are widely used in many fields because of their advantages, including low price, wide antibacterial spectrum, and high stability. However, their accumulation in the human body leads to a variety of serious diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to design a convenient, effective, and sensitive method to detect SAs. Moreover, the fluorescence excitation spectrum has rich information characteristics, especially for the interaction between fluorophore and quencher via various mechanisms. However, the excitation wavelength-guided sensor array construction does not draw proper attention. To address these issues, we used BSA-AuNCs as a single probe to construct a sensor array for the detection of five SAs. The selected SAs showed different quenching effects on the fluorescence intensities of BSA-AuNCs. The changes in the fluorescence intensity at different excitation wavelengths (λ = 230, 250, and 280 nm) have been applied to construct our sensor array and address the distinguishability between the selected SAs. With helping of pattern recognition methods, five different SAs have been identified at three different concentrations. Additionally, qualitative analysis at different moral ratios and quantitative analysis at nanogram concentrations have been considered. Moreover, the proposed sensor array was successfully used to distinguish between different SAs in commercial milk with an accuracy of 100 %. This study provides a simple and powerful approach to SAs detection. Also, it shows a broad application prospect in the field of food and drug monitoring.

Abstract
Rapid and on-site qualitative and quantitative analysis of small molecules (including bioflavonoids) in biofluids are of great importance in biomedical applications. Herein, we have developed two deep learning models based on the 3D fluorescence spectra of gold nanoclusters as a single probe for rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis of eight bioflavonoids in serum. The results proved the efficiency and stability of the random forest-bidirectional long short-term memory (RF-BLSTM) model, which was used only with the most important features after deleting the unimportant features that might hinder the performance of the model in identifying the selected bioflavonoids in serum at very low concentrations. The optimized model achieves excellent overall accuracy (98-100%) in the qualitative analysis of the selected bioflavonoids. Next, the optimized model was transferred to quantify the selected bioflavonoids in serum at nanoscale concentrations. The transferred model achieved excellent accuracy, and the overall determination coefficient (R2) value range was 99-100%. Furthermore, the optimized model achieved excellent accuracies in other applications, including multiplex detection in serum and model applicability in urine. Also, LOD in serum at nanoscale concentration was considered. Therefore, this approach opens the window for qualitative and quantitative analysis of small molecules in biofluids at nanoscale concentrations, which may help in the rapid inclusion of sensor arrays in biomedical and other applications.

Abstract
Understanding the complicated intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) behaviors of nanomaterials is crucial to the development of high-quality nanoluminophores for various applications. However, the ICT process in molecule-like metal nanoclusters has been rarely explored. Herein, a proton binding-induced enhanced ICT state is discovered in 6-aza-2-thiothymine-protected gold nanoclusters (ATT-AuNCs). Such an excited-state electron transfer process gives rise to the weakened and red-shifted photoluminescence of these nanoclusters. By the joint use of this newfound ICT mechanism and a restriction of intramolecular motion (RIM) strategy, a red shift in the emission maxima of 30 nm with 27.5-fold higher fluorescence quantum efficiency is achieved after introducing rare-earth scandium ion (Sc3+) into ATT-AuNCs. Furthermore, it is found that upon the addition of Sc3+, the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) rate from ATT-AuNCs to minocycline is largely accelerated by forming a donor-bridge-acceptor structure. This paper offers a simple method to modulate the luminescent properties of metal nanoclusters for the rational design of next-generation sensing platforms.

Abstract
Vitamin B6 derivatives (VB6Ds) are of great importance for all living organisms to complete their physiological processes. However, their excess in the body can cause serious problems. What is more, the qualitative and quantitative analysis of different VB6Ds may present significant challenges due to the high similarity of their chemical structures. Also, the transfer of deep learning model from one task to a similar task needs to be present more in the fluorescence-based biosensor. Therefore, to address these problems, two deep learning models based on the intrinsic fingerprint of 3D fluorescence spectra have been developed to identify five VB6Ds. The accuracy ranges of a deep neural network (DNN) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) were 94.44-97.77% and 97.77-100%, respectively. After that, the developed models were transferred for quantitative analysis of the selected VB6Ds at a broad concentration range (1-100 μM). The determination coefficient (R2) values of the test set for DNN and CNN were 93.28 and 97.01%, respectively, which also represents the outperformance of CNN over DNN. Therefore, our approach opens new avenues for qualitative and quantitative sensing of small molecules, which will enrich fields related to deep learning, analytical chemistry, and especially sensor array chemistry.

Abstract
As a kind of sensing and imaging fluorescent probe with the merit of low toxicity, good stability, and environment-friendly, silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) are currently attracting extensive research. In this work, we obtained mitoxantrone-SiNPs (MXT-SiNPs) with green emission by one-pot synthesis under mild temperature condition. The antenna based on pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) was designed for light-harvesting to enhance the luminescence of MXT-SiNPs and to establish a novel sensing strategy for alkaline phosphatase (ALP). PLP transfers the absorbed photon energy to MXT-SiNPs by forming Schiff base. When PLP is dephosphorized by ALP, the released free hydroxyl group reacts with aldehyde group to form internal hemiacetal, which leads to the failure of Schiff base formation. Based on the relationship between antenna formation ability and PLP hydrolysis degree, the activity of ALP can be measured. A good linear relationship was obtained from 0.2 to 3.0 U/L, with a limit of detection of 0.06 U/L. Furthermore, the sensing platform was successfully used to detect ALP in human serum with recovery of 97.6-106.2%. The rational design of antenna elements for fluorescent nanomaterials can not only provide a new pathway to manipulate the luminescence, but also provide a new direction for fluorescence sensing strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetic muscle infarction (DMI), which is also referred to as diabetic myonecrosis, is a rare and long-term complication of poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, while we found that acute diabetes decompensation, such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), could also stimulate the occurrence and development of DMI. CASE PRESENTATION A 23-year-old woman with type 1 diabetes presented with a 10-day history of nausea, vomiting, pain, and swelling of her left leg. Her urine ketone test was positive. The 3-beta-hydroxybutyrate and leukocyte counts and creatine kinase levels were elevated. Magnetic resonance imaging of the left thigh revealed extensive deep tissue oedema and an increase in the T2 signal in the involved muscles. Once the diagnosis of DMI was made, she was managed with rest, celecoxib, clopidogrel and aggressive insulin therapy. Three months after treatment, the patient reported complete resolution of symptoms. CONCLUSION DMI is a rare DM complication with a high recurrence rate, commonly presenting with chronic complications, while our case report shows that acute diabetes decompensation, such as DKA, can stimulate the occurrence and development of DMI. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment could shorten the recovery time.

Abstract
Heavy metal ions (HMIs), including Cu2+, Ag+, Cd2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+ from the environment pose a threat to human beings and can cause a series of life-threatening diseases. Therefore, colorimetric sensors with convenience and flexibility for HMI discrimination are still required. To provide a solution, a peroxidase-like activity-based colorimetric sensor array of citrate-capped noble metal nanozymes (osmium, platinum, and gold) has been fabricated. Some studies reported that some HMIs could interact with the noble metal nanozymes leading to a change in their peroxidase-like activity. This phenomenon was confirmed in our work. Based on this principle, different concentrations of HMIs (Cu2+, Ag+, Cd2+, Hg2+, and Pb2+) were discriminated. Moreover, their practical application has been tested by discriminating HMIs in tap water and SiYu lake water. What is more, as an example of the validity of our method to quantify HMIs at nanomolar concentrations, the LOD of Hg2+ was presented. To sum up, our study not only demonstrates the differentiation ability of this nanozyme sensor array but also gives hints for using nanozyme sensor arrays for further applications.

Abstract
Extensive studies have laid the groundwork for understanding peroxidase-like nanozymes. However, improvements are still required before their practical applications. On one hand, it is significant to explore highly reactive nanozymes. On the other hand, it is necessary to avoid fouling formed on the surface of nanozymes, which will affect their activity and the results of H2O2 sensors or H2O2-related applications. Herein, a strategy is reported to design osmium nanoclusters (Os NCs) with the existence of bovine serum albumin (BSA) through biomineralization. BSA-Os NCs were found to possess intrinsic peroxidase-like activity with a high specific activity (6120 U/g). Studies also found that the catalytic activity of BSA-Os NCs was better than those of reported protein-assisted metal nanozymes (e.g., BSA-Pt NPs and BSA-Au NCs). More significantly, BSA has been confirmed as a protective shell to give Os NCs extrinsic antifouling property in some typical ions (e.g., Hg2+, Ag+, Pb2+, I-, Cr6+, Cu2+, Ce3+, S2-, etc.), saline (0-2 M), or protein (0-100 mg/mL) conditions. Under optimal conditions, a colorimetric sensor was established to realize a linear range of H2O2 from 1.25 to 200 μM with a low detection limit of 300 nM. On this basis, remarkable features enable a BSA-Os NCs-based colorimetric sensor to detect H2O2 from complex systems with clear color gradients. Together, this work highlights the advantages of protein-assisted Os nanozymes and provides a paragon for peroxidase-like nanozymes in H2O2-related applications.

Abstract
Assays for detecting tetanus toxoid are of great significance to be applied in the research of the safety testing of tetanus vaccine. Currently, guinea pigs or mice are usually used to evaluate the toxicity in these assays. Herein, a facile and quick biomineralization process was carried out to generate tetanus human immunoglobulin G (Tet-IgG)-functionalized Au nanoclusters (Tet-IgG-AuNCs). The obtained Tet-IgG-AuNCs exhibited strong red emission with a photoluminescence quantum yield of 13%. Based on surface plasmon resonance measurements, the apparent dissociation constant of the Tet-IgG-AuNC-tetanus toxoid complexes was measured to be 2.27 × 10-8 M. A facile detection approach was developed using a fluorescent Tet-IgG-AuNC-based immunochromatography test strip. By utilizing the high-brightness fluorescent Tet-IgG-AuNCs, this immunosensor showed favorable sensitivity with a detection limit at the level of 0.03 μg/mL. Further results demonstrated that this assay can reliably detect tetanus toxoid and therefore might provide a novel method to replace animal tests for the quantification of tetanus toxicity. Moreover, the antibody-AuNC-based immunochromatography test strip platform serves as a promising candidate to develop new approaches for detecting targeted antigens and biological events of interest.

Abstract
There is a continuing high demand to design effective sensors for the determination of heavy metal ions (HMIs) since they are hazardous to both human health and the environment. In this study, we reported a facile fluorescent sensor array for rapid discrimination of HMIs based on a single gold nanocluster (AuNC) probe. This AuNC probe was prepared by using 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMI) as a ligand and polyvinypyrrolidone (PVP) as a dispersing agent. The fluorescence emission of PVP/MMI-AuNC was observed to be closely related to the pH value of the aqueous solution, which displays yellow (λmax = 512 nm) and red (λmax = 700 nm) fluorescence at pH 12.0 and 6.0, respectively. Further experiments indicated that different HMIs can produce differential effects on the photoluminescence of PVP/MMI-AuNC and thus generate distinct fluorescent responses at 512 and 700 nm. On the basis of this phenomenon, a fluorescent sensor array based on the PVP/MMI-AuNC was then built by simply changing pH value in the sensor element. A total of seven HMIs had their unique response patterns and were successfully distinguished by hierarchical cluster analysis and linear discriminant analysis both in buffer solution and spiked water samples, achieving 100% identification accuracy. This study provides a simple and powerful fingerprinting sensing platform for multiple HMIs, showing broad application prospects in the field of environmental monitoring.

Abstract
Although metal nanoclusters (MNCs) have shown great promise for the further development of photochemical techniques to be applied in diverse areas (e.g., photoelectronic devices, photochemical sensors, photocatalysts, and energy storage and conversion systems), the fundamental problem of their electron transfer behavior still remains unsolved. Herein, a driving force-dependent photoinduced electron transfer process of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) is clarified for the first time from a rational-designed opposite-charged system. It was found that the electron transfer dynamic of carboxylated chitosan and dithiothreitol-commodified AuNCs (CC/DTT-AuNCs) can be satisfactorily described by the Marcus electron transfer theory. This proved model was applied to estimate the ultrafast charge separation process between CC/DTT-AuNCs and mitoxantrone, which was confirmed by fluorescence quenching and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy measurements. We envision that this work will open a new door for understanding the electron transfer behavior of MNCs and facilitate the design of advanced optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
The use of metal ions to bridge the fluorescent materials to target analytes has been demonstrated to be a promising way to sensor design. Herein, the effect of rare-earth ions on the fluorescence of l-methionine-stabilized gold nanoclusters (Met-AuNCs) was investigated. It was found that europium (Eu3+) can significantly suppress the emission of Met-AuNCs, while other rare-earth ions showed a negligible impact. The mechanism on the observed fluorescence quenching of Met-AuNCs triggered by Eu3+ was systematically explored, with results revealing the dominant role of photoinduced electron transfer (PET). Eu3+ can bind to the surface of Met-AuNCs by the coordination effect and accepts the electron from the excited Met-AuNCs, which results in Met-AuNC fluorescence suppression. After introducing dipicolinic acid (DPA), an excellent biomarker for spore-forming pathogens, Eu3+ was removed from the surface of Met-AuNCs owing to the higher binding affinity between Eu3+ and DPA. Consequently, an immediate fluorescence recovery occurred when DPA was present in the system. Based on the Met-AuNC/Eu3+ ensemble, we then established a simple and sensitive fluorescence strategy for turn-on determination of biomarker DPA, with a linear range of 0.2-4 μM and a low limit of detection of 110 nM. The feasibility of the proposed method was further validated by the quantitative detection of DPA in the soil samples. We believe that this study would significantly facilitate the construction of metal-ion-mediated PET sensors for the measurement of various interested analytes by applying fluorescent AuNCs as detection probes.

Abstract
With a rapid advancement of nanotechnology and the close integration of disciplines, research on nanozymes (nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities), is becoming an expeditiously developing field. In recent years, platinum group element-based (Pt, Pd, Ru, Rh, Ir, and Os) nanozymes developed successively, have not only promoted the research of nanozymes but also expanded the biomedical applications of nanomaterials. Generally speaking, platinum group element-based nanozymes process high catalytic efficiency, specific surface area, stability, and other physical/chemical properties, which benefit for their applications in biosensing, biological medicine, biomedical imaging, and environmental protection. This paper will introduce the research progress of platinum group element-based nanozymes including their synthesis, characterization, enzyme-like activities, stability, biocompatibility, toxicity, and applications for biological detection and clinical relevance. Our emphasis is put on unfolding the roles of platinum group element-based nanozymes in biomedical applications and how they overcome the limitations. Last but not least, trends and future perspectives of platinum group element-based nanozymes in biomedical applications are also provided.

Abstract
Various types of bovine serum albumin (BSA)-protected fluorescent gold nanoclusters (BSA-AuNCs) have been fabricated and applied in various fields. However, the conventional synthesis methods for BSA-AuNCs usually yield a low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) in solution. In this study, we systematically examined the influences of incubation time, temperature, and pH on the formation process of BSA-AuNCs and then developed a novel strategy to synthesize BSA-AuNCs with PLQY (26%), far exceeding that of existing counterparts. Of the three important factors, pH, temperature, and time, pH plays a key role in the formation of BSA-AuNCs with different compositions and fluorescence properties. The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) results showed that BSA-Au20NCs with high purity can be produced at a pH value of 10 and the correct combination of incubation temperature and reaction time. The advantages of the obtained BSA-Au20NCs, including small size, high PLQY, long lifetime, high purity, as well as facile modification, make them ideal candidates for luminescent probes in imaging and sensing applications.

Abstract
Platinum nanozymes exhibiting highly efficient and robust oxidase-like activity are successfully synthesized and modified using sodium alginate (SA-PtNPs). According to a steady-state dynamic assay, Michaelis-Menton constant (Km) is calculated as 11.6 μM, indicating that the affinity of SA-PtNPs toward the substrate, 3, 3′, 5, 5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), is high. It shows in the paper that SA-PtNPs exhibit a significant oxidant effect on substrate-O2 to produce O2•- as an oxidase mimic. Moreover, the oxidase-like activity fluctuated slightly under changes in environmental pH and incubation time, implying that SA can increase the dispersibility and stability of PtNPs. A colorimetric assay for oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) was realized given how few explorations of the former there are. We found that the significant inhibitory effect of OPC on the oxidase-like activity is due to the competitive effect between OPC and TMB for binding to the active site of SA-PtNPs, resulting in a color change. Under optimal conditions, the logarithmic value of the chromogenic difference (ΔA450nm) to OPC concentration was linear (4–32.5 μM, r = 0.999) with a limit of detection (LOD) of 2.0 μM. The antioxidant capacity of OPC obtained by the Soxhlet extraction method from grape seeds was 2.85 U/mg. The recovery from the experiment in which OPC was added to grape seeds ranged from 97.0 to 98.6% (RSDs of 0.5–3.4%), suggesting a high accuracy in OPC detection. These findings are important because OPC is an internationally recognized antioxidant that eliminates free radicals in the human body and, therefore, may prevent a variety of diseases. Thus, we envisage that this Pt nanozyme-based assay may be prevalent for antioxidant capacity evaluation and analytical applications.

Abstract
As a new emerging candidate for solid-state phosphors, copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) have gained tremendous interest in the field of white light-emitting devices (WLEDs). However, their further applications are impeded by the low photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY) and poor emission color tunability of CuNCs. This work demonstrates the synthesis of cyan and orange emitting CuNCs, and their combination as color conversion phosphors in WLEDs. The cyan and orange emitting CuNCs were prepared employing 2-mercapto-1-methylimidazole (MMI) and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC), respectively, as stabilizing-cum-reducing agents. The dispersions of MMI-CuNCs and NAC-CuNCs are weakly emissive. However, after processing into powders, they both possess ultrahigh PLQYs (45.2% for MMI-CuNCs, and 64.6% for NAC-CuNCs) owing to the effect of aggregation-induced emission (AIE). All-CuNC based WLEDs are then designed and developed using powdered MMI-CuNC and NAC-CuNC samples on commercially available 365 nm GaN LED chips. They display acceptable white light characteristics with a Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage coordinate value and color rendering index of (0.26, 0.30) and 83, respectively. We believe that these cost-effective and eco-friendly CuNCs with interesting AIE properties will vigorously promote the development of high-quality WLEDs for commercial applications.

Abstract
Herein, we report the design of a single-excitation/double-emission ratiometric fluorescence nanosensor for the determination of glucose. The sensing system combines glucose oxidation catalyzed by glucose oxidase, Fenton chemistry, Fe3+-sensitive fluorescent gold nanoclusters (AuNCs), and Fe3+-inert fluorescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs). We used orange-fluorescent AuNCs co-modified with bovine serum albumin and 3-mercaptopropionic acid as the indicator probe, and GQDs with the same excitation wavelength as the BSA/MPA-AuNCs, but with different emission wavelength, as the reference probe. The fluorescence intensity-ratio between 420 nm and 575 nm (F420/F575) was used to quantitatively determine glucose with a low detection limit of 0.18 μM, and the nanosensor was successfully used to detect glucose in human serum. This ratiometric fluorescence sensing system, based on AuNCs and GQDs, ensures sensitive and convenient determination of glucose, and has broad application prospects for biomedical-analysis applications.

Abstract
Protein-supported nanoparticles have a great significance in scientific and nanotechnology research because of their "green" process, low cost-in-use, good biocompatibility, and some interesting properties. Ruthenium oxide nanoparticles (RuO2NPs) have been considered to be an important member in nanotechnology research. However, the biosynthetic approach of RuO2NPs is relatively few compared to those of other nanoparticles. To address this challenge, this work presented a new way for RuO2NP synthesis (BSA-RuO2NPs) supported by bovine serum albumin (BSA). BSA-RuO2NPs are confirmed to exert peroxidase-like activity, electrocatalytic activity, in vitro salt resistance (2 M NaCl), and biocompatibility. Results indicate that BSA-RuO2NPs have higher affinity binding for 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine or H2O2 than bare RuO2NPs. Moreover, BSA turns out to be a crucial factor in promoting the stability of RuO2NPs. Taking the advantages of these improved properties, we established colorimetric (linear range from 2 to 800 μM, a limit of detection of 1.8 μM) and electrochemical (linear range from 0.4 to 3850 μM, a limit of detection of 0.18 μM) biosensors for monitoring in situ H2O2 secretion from living MCF-7 cells. Herein, this work offers a new biosynthesis strategy to obtain BSA-RuO2NPs and sheds light on the sensitive biosensors to monitor the H2O2 secreted from living cells for promising applications in the fields of nanotechnology, biology, biosensors, and medicine.

Abstract
Gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have attracted much attention as signal transducers in photoluminescence chemical/biological sensors. Herein, we employ bovine serum albumin/3-mercaptopropionic acid co-modified AuNCs as a fluorescence probe, Fe3+ as a quencher, and pyrophosphate as an alkaline phosphatase (ALP) substrate and Fe3+ chelator to design a novel biosensor for ALP detection, achieving a detection linear range of 0.8-16 U/L and a detection limit of 0.78 U/L. The developed method is successfully applied to the detection of ALP in human osteosarcoma cells and is shown to be suited for ALP inhibitor screening.

Abstract
This study puts forward an efficient method for protein detection in virtue of the tremendous fluorescence enhancement property of 6-aza-2-thio-thymine protected gold nanoclusters (ATT-AuNCs). In-depth studies of the protein-induced photoluminescence enhancement mechanism illustrate the mechanism of the interaction between ATT-AuNCs and protein. This new-established probe enables feasible and sensitive quantification of the concentrations of total protein in real samples, such as human serum, human plasma, milk, and cell extracts. The results of this proposed method are in good agreement with those determined by the classical bicinchoninic acid method (BCA method).

Abstract
Donor-linker-acceptor (D-L-A)-based photoinduced electron transfer (PET) has been frequently used for the construction of versatile fluorescent chemo/biosensors. However, sophisticated and tedious processes are generally required for the synthesis of these probes, which leads to poor design flexibility. In this work, by exploiting a Schiff base as a linker unit, a covalently bound D-L-A system was established and subsequently utilized for the development of a PET sensor. Cysteamine (Cys) and N-acetyl-l-cysteine (NAC) costabilized gold nanoclusters (Cys/NAC-AuNCs) were synthesized and adopted as an electron acceptor, and pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) was selected as an electron donor. PLP can form a Schiff base (an aldimine) with the primary amino group of Cys/NAC-AuNC through its aldehyde group and thereby suppresses the fluorescence of Cys/NAC-AuNC. The Rehm-Weller formula results and a HOMO-LUMO orbital study revealed that a reductive PET mechanism is responsible for the observed fluorescence quenching. Since the pyridoxal (PL) produced by the acid phosphatase (ACP)-catalyzed cleavage of PLP has a weak interaction with Cys/NAC-AuNC, a novel turn-on fluorescent method for selective detection of ACP was successfully realized. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of the development of a covalently bound D-L-A system for fluorescent PET sensing of enzyme activity based on AuNC nanoprobes using a Schiff base.

Abstract
Few-atom gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) have been fabricated and used for various fields owing to their remarkable optical and photophysical features. However, the rational design for the antibody-mediated synthesis of fluorescent AuNCs for direct antigen-antibody reactions remains unexplored. In this work, immunoglobulin G (IgG)-functionalized AuNCs (IgG-AuNCs) were successfully prepared via a facile and fast biomineralization process. The generated IgG-AuNCs can emit intense red fluorescence with a high photoluminescence quantum yield. Besides strong emission, the bioactivity of IgG on the IgG-AuNCs can be retained. Surface plasmon resonance measurements suggested that IgG-AuNCs can bind to goat anti-human IgG with an affinity constant of 6.21 × 10-8 M. A simple detection method was then developed using a dot-blot immunoassay with IgG-AuNCs as fluorescent tags. Experimental results confirmed that the IgG-AuNC-based fluorescent reporters had many advantages such as low nonspecific adsorption and good photostability, offering immense potential for the development of efficient biosensors. This work can be extended to other specific antibodies to produce multifunctional AuNCs and utilized to detect and monitor targeted analytes and biological events of interest.

Abstract
In this study, on the basis of the biomineralization capability of urease, a facile, one-step, and green synthetic method has been proposed for the fabrication of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs). The prepared urease-encapsulated AuNCs (U-AuNCs) exhibited strong red fluorescence emission (λem = 630 nm) with a quantum yield as high as 17%. Interestingly, at a low concentration, the U-AuNC solution was found to be a dual-emissive system with the blue emission of the dityrosine (diTyr) residues of urease and the red emission of the embedded AuNCs. Further experiments demonstrated that p-nitrophenol (PNP) can selectively suppress the 410 nm emission of the diTyr residues of U-AuNCs without affecting the red emission of the U-AuNCs. The fluorescence quenching mechanism between U-AuNCs and PNP was systematically studied, and the leading role of the inner filter effect (IFE) was identified. Additionally, based on the sulfatase-catalyzed hydrolysis of p-nitrophenyl sulfate (PNPS) to release PNP, a self-referenced ratiometric detection method for sulfatase, which plays a crucial role in sulfur cycling, degradation of sulfated glycosaminoglycans and glycolipids, and extracellular remodeling of sulfated glycosaminoglycans, was developed by using dual-emissive U-AuNCs as the signal readout, in which the diTyr residues served as the probe and the AuNCs functioned as the internal reference. This IFE-based ratiometric sensing strategy showed a good linear relationship over the range of 0.01-1 U/mL ( R2 = 0.997). The detection limit for sulfatase activity was 0.01 U/mL. The developed protocol was successfully used to detect sulfatase activity in human serum samples. The simplicity, rapidity, low cost, high credibility, good reproducibility, and excellent selectivity of the detection platform serve as an inspiration for further applications of fluorescent AuNCs in chemo/biosensing.

Abstract
Background The preparation and biological applications of ultra-small graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with accurate-controlled size are of great significance. Methods Here in, we report a novel procedure involving pyrolysis of trisodium citrate and subsequent ultrafiltration for fabricating monolayer GQDs with ultra-small lateral size (1.3±0.5 nm). Results The GQDs exhibit blue photoluminescence with peak position independent of excitation wavelength. The quantum yield of GQDs is measured to be 3.6%, and the average fluorescence lifetime is 2.78 ns. Conclusion Because of high stability and low toxicity, GQDs are demonstrated to be excellent bioimaging agents. The ultra-small GQDs can not only distribute in the cytoplasm but also penetrate into the nuclei. We ensure that this work will add a new dimension to the application of graphene materials for nanomedicine.

Abstract
We herein report the intrinsic alkaline peroxidase-like activity exhibited by CuO nanoparticles when 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid was employed as a substrate. Based on this observation, a fluorometric assay method with a low detection limit of 0.81 μM was established for H2O2 determination under alkaline conditions. Notably, ammonia was found to inhibit the alkaline peroxidase-like activity of the CuO nanoparticles. Thus, a sensing platform for the determination of urea and urease was successfully constructed, with the limits of detection for urea and urease being 27 μM and 2.6 U L-1, respectively. This platform was then applied for the detection of urea in human urine and urease in soil, which yielded satisfactory results. These results suggest that it is possible to extend the catalytic potential of peroxidase and its mimetics from acidic and neutral conditions to include activity in alkaline media as well. Furthermore, this strategy is a novel method for the analysis of urea and urease. The assay developed in this work is facile, inexpensive, convenient, and highly selective and sensitive. Therefore, it is expected that this system can serve as a template for the development of similar enzyme nano-mimics.

Abstract
Luminescent copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) constitute a very active research topic due to their unique properties and lower cost than gold and silver NCs. In this study, we report a new, facile, and rapid top-down etching method for synthesizing luminescent CuNCs, using Cu nanoparticles (CuNPs) as the precursor and ammonia (NH3) as the etchant. The etching mechanism is systematically investigated and the optical and structural properties of the obtained CuNCs are carefully studied. The NH3-triggered etching process is very fast and the newly generated CuNCs can emit strong green fluorescence with a high quantum yield. Moreover, by coupling the urease-catalyzed hydrolysis of urea with the NH3-induced etching of CuNPs, we developed a novel fluorescence turn-on assay for urea. The linear range for urea detection is from 0.25 to 5 mM, and the limit of detection is 0.01 mM. This novel sensing approach, with good sensitivity and excellent selectivity, is then successfully utilized to detect urea in human serum samples, demonstrating its great potential in clinical diagnosis. In addition, the proposed coupling method can be extended to monitor other analytes that influence the size-focusing etching process, allowing metal NCs to be used to construct diverse chemosensors and biosensors.

Abstract
The development of simple yet powerful methods for monitoring enzyme activity is of great significance. Herein, a facile, convenient, cost-effective, and continuous fluorescent method for the detection of arginase and its inhibitor has been reported based on a host-guest interaction-controlled and enzymatic hydrolysis-controlled luminescent nanoswitch. The fluorescence intensity of 6-aza-2-thiothymine-stabilized gold nanoparticle (ATT-AuNP) is enhanced by l-arginine, owing to the formation of a supramolecular host-guest assembly between the guanidine group of l-arginine and ATT molecules capped on the AuNP surface. However, hydrolysis of l-arginine, catalyzed by arginase, leads to a decrease in the fluorescence intensity of l-arginine/ATT-AuNPs hybrids. Upon incorporation of the arginase inhibitor l-norvaline, the fluorescence of the ATT-AuNP-based detecting system is restored. The linear range of arginase activity determination is from 0.0625 to 1.15 U/mL and the limit of detection is 0.056 U/mL. The half-maximal inhibition value IC50 of l-norvaline is determined to be 5.6 mM. The practicability of this luminescent nanoswitch is validated by assaying the arginase activity in rat liver and monitoring the response of rat liver arginase to pharmacological agent. Compared to the existing fluorescent method of arginase activity assay, the approach demonstrated here does not involve any complicated technical manipulation, thereby greatly simplifying the detection steps. We propose that this AuNP-based luminescent nanoswitch would find wide applications in the field of life sciences and medicine.

Abstract
Capping molecules on the surface of nanomaterials not only enhance the dispersion and stability of nanomaterials but also greatly facilitate their surface modification and biological applications. However, most capping molecules can severely block the active sites of the catalytic core, thereby decreasing the enzymatic activity of nanomaterial-based enzyme mimics. This work demonstrates the superiority of chitosan (Ch) as a capping molecule for synthesizing catalytic platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs). The experimental results show that Ch simultaneously exhibits an excellent stabilizing effect and enhances the oxidase-like activity of PtNPs. Kinetic studies indicate that Ch-PtNPs have a higher affinity for 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) than other kinds of oxidase mimics. Furthermore, the TMB chromogenic reaction catalyzed by Ch-PtNPs is found to be much faster in an acidic medium, thus adapting well to the optimal pH for acid phosphatase (ACP). Therefore, a novel colorimetric approach for ACP determination is developed for the first time, which is based on the Ch-PtNP-catalyzed oxidation of TMB, the inhibitory effect of ascorbic acid (AA) on the oxidase-like activity of Ch-PtNPs, and the ACP-catalyzed hydrolysis of AA 2-phosphate (AAP) into AA. The linear range for ACP is 0.25-2.5 U L-1 and the limit of detection is measured to be 0.016 U L-1. This new colorimetric method is utilized to detect ACP in real biological samples and to screen ACP inhibitors. We believe that these new PtNPs, which exhibit high colloidal stability, excellent catalytic performance, good biocompatibility, simple preparation, and easy modification, can be promising candidates for a broad range of applications in optical sensing, environmental monitoring, clinical diagnosis, and drug discovery.

Abstract
To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of fulminant Wilson's disease (FWD) in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Twenty-seven patients were enrolled in Guangzhou Eighth People's Hospital from 2005 to 2015, including 13 FWD patients with HBV infection and 14 FWD patients without HBV infection. Clinical efficacy and survival rate were evaluated. Baseline biochemical data in two groups were comparable(P>0.05), including total bilirubin, prothrombin activity, serum albumin, alpha fetal protein, alanine transaminase, ceruloplasmin and 24 hours urine copper .Treatment in FWD group with HBV infection was ineffective, including 9(9/13) deaths and 4(4/13) patients receiveing liver transplants. However, 7(7/14)cases in the other group did not response to the treatment, including 6(6/14)deaths and 1(1/14)patient receiving liver transplant. The prognosis in the two groups is significantly different(P=0.006), which is much worse in FWD patients with HBV infection.

Abstract
Dendrite-like cobalt selenide nanostructures were synthesized from cobalt and selenium powder precursors by a solvothermal method in anhydrous ethylenediamine. The as-prepared nanocrystalline cobalt selenide was found to possess peroxidase-like activity that could catalyze the reaction of peroxidase substrates in the presence of H2O2. A spectrophotometric method for uric acid (UA) determination was developed based on the nanocrystalline cobalt selenide-catalyzed coupling reaction between N-ethyl-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-3-methylaniline sodium salt and 4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP) in the presence of H2O2. Under optimum conditions, the absorbance was proportional to the concentration of UA over the range of 2.0-40 μM with a detection limit of 0.5 μM. The applicability of the proposed method has been validated by determination of UA in human serum samples with satisfactory results.
