Abstract
Dinitrosyl iron unit (DNIU), [Fe(NO)2], is a natural metallocofactor for biological storage, delivery, and metabolism of nitric oxide (NO). In the attempt to gain a biomimetic insight into the natural DNIU under biological system, in this study, synthetic dinitrosyl iron complexes (DNICs) [(NO)2Fe(μ-SCH2CH2COOH)2Fe(NO)2] (DNIC-COOH) and [(NO)2Fe(μ-SCH2CH2COOCH3)2Fe(NO)2] (DNIC-COOMe) were employed to investigate the structure-reactivity relationship of mechanism and kinetics for cellular uptake of DNICs, intracellular delivery of NO, and activation of cytoprotective heme oxygenase (HO)-1. After rapid cellular uptake of dinuclear DNIC-COOMe through a thiol-mediated pathway (tmax = 0.5 h), intracellular assembly of mononuclear DNIC [(NO)2Fe(SR)(SCys)]n-/[(NO)2Fe(SR)(SCys-protein)]n- occurred, followed by O2-induced release of free NO (tmax = 1-2 h) or direct transfer of NO to soluble guanylate cyclase, which triggered the downstream HO-1. In contrast, steady kinetics for cellular uptake of DNIC-COOH via endocytosis (tmax = 2-8 h) and for intracellular release of NO (tmax = 4-6 h) reflected on the elevated activation of cytoprotective HO-1 (∼50-150-fold change at t = 3-10 h) and on the improved survival of DNIC-COOH-primed mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)/human corneal endothelial cell (HCEC) under stressed conditions. Consequently, this study unravels the bridging thiolate ligands in dinuclear DNIC-COOH/DNIC-COOMe as a switch to control the mechanism, kinetics, and efficacy for cellular uptake of DNICs, intracellular delivery of NO, and activation of cytoprotective HO-1, which poses an implication on enhanced survival of postengrafted MSC for advancing the MSC-based regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Total antioxidant capacity (TAC), representative of the capacity to combat oxidative stress, is closely linked to numerous diseases. Here, we present a protocol for measuring TAC using minimal samples that are stable across varying pH levels and at room temperature. We describe steps for preparing and loading samples and working solutions and conducting and analyzing the colorimetric reaction. Sample sources include aqueous humor, vitreous, tears, and plasma, which allow the protocol to be used in various clinical diagnostic settings. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to publications by Tsao et al. (2022).1,2.

Abstract
Oxidative stress is an important pathomechanism found in numerous ocular degenerative diseases. To provide a better understanding of the mechanism and treatment of oxidant/antioxidant imbalance-induced ocular diseases, this article summarizes and provides updates on the relevant research. We review the oxidative damage (e.g., lipid peroxidation, DNA lesions, autophagy, and apoptosis) that occurs in different areas of the eye (e.g., cornea, anterior chamber, lens, retina, and optic nerve). We then introduce the antioxidant mechanisms present in the eye, as well as the ocular diseases that occur as a result of antioxidant imbalances (e.g., keratoconus, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma), the relevant antioxidant biomarkers, and the potential of predictive diagnostics. Finally, we discuss natural antioxidant therapies for oxidative stress-related ocular diseases.

Abstract
Early detection of microorganisms is essential for the management of infectious diseases. However, this is challenging, as traditional culture methods are labor-intensive and time-consuming. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide-phenazine methosulfate (MTT-PMS) assay has been used to evaluate the metabolic activity in live cells and can thus be used for detecting living microorganisms. With the addition of NaOH and Tris-EDTA, the same approach can be accelerated (within 15 min) and used for the quick detection of common bacterial pathogens. The assay results can be evaluated colorimetrically or semi-quantitatively. Here, the quick detection by MTT-PMS assay was further investigated. The assay had a detection limit of approximately 104 CFU/mL. In clinical evaluations, we used the MTT-PMS assay to detect clinical samples and bacteriuria (>105 CFU/mL). The negative predictive value of the MTT-PMS assay for determining bacteriuria was 79.59% but was 100% when the interference of abnormal blood was excluded. Thus, the MTT-PMS assay might be a potential "rule-out" tool for bacterial detection in clinical samples, at a cost of approximately USD 1 per test. Owing to its low cost, rapid results, and easy-to-use characteristics, the MTT-PMS assay may be a potential tool for microorganism detection.

Abstract
Biochemical analysis of human body fluids is a frequent and fruitful strategy for disease diagnosis. Point-of-care (POC) diagnostics offers the tantalizing possibility of providing rapid diagnostic results in non-laboratory settings. Successful diagnostic testing using body fluids has been reported on in the literature; however, small-volume detection devices, which offer remarkable advantages such as portability, inexpensiveness, capacity for mass production, and tiny sample volume requirements have not been thoroughly discussed. Here, we review progress in this research field, with a focus on developments since 2015. In this review article, we provide a summary of articles that have detailed the development of small-volume detection strategies using clinical samples over the course of the last 5 years. Topics covered include small-volume detection strategies in ophthalmology, dermatology or plastic surgery, otolaryngology, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis. In ophthalmology, advances in technology could be applied to examine tear or anterior chamber (AC) fluid for glucose, lactoferrin, interferon, or VEGF. These approaches could impact detection and care for diseases including diabetic mellitus, dry-eye disease, and age-related maculopathy. Early detection and easy monitoring are critical approaches for improving overall care and outcome. In dermatology or plastic surgery, small-volume detection strategies have been applied for passive or interactive wound dressing, wound healing monitoring, and blister fluid analysis for autoimmune disease diagnosis. In otolaryngology, the analysis of nasal secretions and mucosa could be used to differentiate between allergic responses and infectious diseases. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis could be applied in neurodegenerative diseases, central neural system infection and tumor diagnosis. Other small-volume fluids that have been analyzed for diagnostic and monitoring purposes include semen and cervico-vaginal fluids. We include more details regarding each of these fluids, associated collection and detection devices, and approaches in our review.

Abstract
A 71-year-old man was referred to our emergency department presenting with acute inferior and right ventricular myocardial infarction with cardiogenic shock. He developed ventricular fibrillation 80 minutes after arrival. Immediate defibrillation, mechanical ventilatory support with oxygenation, and inotropic agents were instituted. Despite restoration of sinus rhythm, his hypotension persisted. He promptly received intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) counterpulsation and cardiac catheterisation. Coronary angiography revealed a subtotal occlusion of the left anterior descending coronary artery and complete occlusion of the right coronary artery. Since the right coronary artery was considered to be the infarct-related coronary artery, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was carried out to the right coronary artery only. The patient was extubated and IABP was removed on the second and third admission day, respectively. He was discharged from the hospital eight days later. A second PCI to the left anterior descending coronary artery was performed successfully three weeks later. This case illustrates that in patients with acute myocardial infarction and cardiogenic shock, prompt application of IABP and PCI of the infarct-related coronary artery may be beneficial in reducing the catastrophic morbidity and mortality, especially in older patients.
