Ascorbic acid plays a crucial role in the regulation of neurotransmitters and enzymes in the central nervous system. Maintaining an optimal level of ascorbic acid, which is between 0.6-2 mg/dL, is vital for preventing oxidative stress and associated health conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, and liver disease. Therefore, the detection of ascorbic acid is of the utmost importance. Electrochemical sensing has gained significant attention among the various detection methods, owing to its simplicity, speed, affordability, high selectivity, and real-time analysis capabilities. However, conventional electrodes have poor signal response, which has led to the development of modified electrodes with better signal response and selectivity. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and their composites have emerged as promising materials for the electrochemical detection of ascorbic acid. CNTs possess unique mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties that depend on their structure, and their large surface area and excellent electron transport properties make them ideal candidates for electrochemical sensing. Recently, various CNT composites with different materials and nanoparticles have been studied to enhance the electrochemical detection of ascorbic acid. Therefore, this review aims to highlight the significance of CNTs and their composites for improving the sensitivity and selectivity of ascorbic acid detection. Specifically, it focuses on the use of CNTs and their composites in electrochemical sensing to revolutionize the detection of ascorbic acid and contribute to the prevention of oxidative stress-related health conditions. The potential benefits of this technology make it a promising area for future research and development.

본 연구는 산도 변화에 따라 색이 빠르게 변하는 특성을 가지고는 있는 반응성 염료(1,3-bisdicyanovinylindane)를 이용하여 신속하고 정확한 산성가스 검출을 위한 화학적 센서 제작을 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 반응성 염료(1,3-bisdicyanovinylindane)는 산성 상태에서 염료와 양성자의 해리되어 흡광도의 변화를 이용하면 손쉽게 미세화학센서를 제작 할 수 있었다. 또한, 반응성 염료는 수용액 상태에서 매우 안정적인 음전하를 지니고 있어 양전하를 지니는 고분자 전해질과 쉽게 layer-by-layer(LBL) 방법을 이용하여 다층 박막 구조를 쉽게 구현할 수 있었다. 먼저, 마이크로스탬프 위에 비반응성 염료와 양전하 고분자 전해질을 적층하여 다층박막을 형성한 후 센서기판에 프린팅한다. 이후 지시염료와 양전하 고분자 전해질을 다시 적층하여 최종 가스센서를 구현한다. 고안된 가스 센서는 산성가스와 반응을 통해 사용자에게 주의를 유도하는 해골 모양을 표현하여 실제 응용성을 보여주었다. 제시된 산성가스 감지센서는 첫째로 제작 과정이 매우 단순하며 저비용이고 둘째로 완성된 감지센서는 환원 과정을 통해 여러번 재사용될 수 있으며 마지막으로 센서 제작 공정이 매우 단순하며 수용액을 기반으로 하는 환경친화적 방법이다.

Three different methods of bacterial viability monitoring were compared to detect chemically or thermally inactivated Escherichia coli. Direct colony enumeration, live/dead bacterial cell staining with a fluorescent dye, and the dehydrogenase activity assay were compared with respect to their ease of use and time required to perform the three different tests. The green (live cell)/red (dead cell) ratio obtained from the fluorescent bacterial cell staining approach showed a linear relationship with the colony forming units; the result obtained with dehydrogenase was similar to those. The sensitivity of the monitoring methods to detect bacterial deactivation varied with different disinfection conditions. After thermal treatment, the sensitivity of the staining approach was lower, while that of the dehydrogenase activity assay was the highest. After chemical treatment, the sensitivity of detection for both methods was similar.

무기 나노입자는 나노미터 크기에서 유래된 광학 및 자성 성질과 같은 물리적 특성을 활용하여 생명-의학 분야에 적극적으로 응용되어왔다. 최근에는 물리적 성질 이외에 무기 나노입자가 갖는 화학적 성질, 특히 효소와 유사한 촉매활성을 이용한 새로운 진단법들이 개발되고 있다. 효소 모사 활성의 검증에 집중하던 초기연구에서, 현재는 활성 메커니즘의 이해를 통한 적극적 활성 제어 및 치료 특성의 직접적 응용으로 연구 범위가 확장되고 있다. 본 총설에서는 효소 모사 활성을 갖는 무기 나노입자, 소위 "나노자임"의 촉매 활성 제어와 치료 및 진단 분야에서의 연구성과들에 대한 최근 동향을 정리하였다. 무기 나노입자의 효소 모사 활성은 입자의 고유한 물리적 성질과 결합되어 새로운 진단 및 치료법의 개발로 이어질 것으로 기대한다.

Label-free, sensitive and selective detection methods with high spatial resolution are critically required for future applications in chemical sensor, biological sensor, and nanospectroscopic imaging. Here I describe the development of Plasmon Resonance Energy Transfer (PRET)-based molecular imaging in living cells as the first demonstration of intracellular imaging with PRET-based nanospectroscopy. In-vivo PRET imaging relied on the overlap between plasmon resonance frequency of gold nanoplasmonic probe (GNP) and absorption peak frequencies of conjugated molecules, which leads to create 'quantized quenching dips' in Rayleigh scattering spectrum of GNP. The position of these dips exactly matched with the absorption peaks of target molecules. As another innovative application of PRET, I present a highly selective and sensitive detection of metal ions by creating conjugated metal-ligand complexes on a single GNP. In addition to conferring high spatial resolution due to the small size of the metal ion probes (50 nm in diameter), this method is 100 to 1,000 folds more sensitive than organic reporter-based methods. Moreover, this technique achieves high selectivity due to the selective formation of Cu2+complexes and selective resonant quenching of GNP by the conjugated complexes. Since many metal ion ligand complexes generate new absorption peak due to the d-d transition in the metal ligand complex when a specific metal ion is inserted into the complex, we can match with the scattering frequency of nanoplasmonic metal ligand systems and the new absorption peak.

BACKGROUND: In this study, we have attempted to identify a urinary biomarker to assess chlorpyrifos exposure in farmers. The major metabolite and the excretion pathway of chlorpyrifos is 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) in urine. Herein, we describe an adequate synthetic method for TCP hapten for measuring urinary TCP of farmers. METHODS AND RESULTS: First, TCP was prepared by spacer attachment through hydrolysis of thiophosphate ester from chlorpyrifos. After reaction with benzyl bromide, the TCP was transformed into 2,3,5-trichloro-6-benzyloxypyridine. Next, the chlorine in the 2 ^nd position of the pyridyl ring was substituted into 3-mercaptopropanoic acid spacer arm. Finally, the phenyl group attached to the 6 ^th position in pyridyl ring was removed for producing the targeted product, 3-(3,5-Dichloro-6-hydroxy-2-pyridyl) thiopropanoic acid. CONCLUSION: Henceforth, this TCP hapten would be used in developing immunoassay studies for the detection and quantitation of urinary TCP of farmers.

Recently, the multi-screening of target materials has been made possible by the development of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging method. To adapt this method to biochemical analysis, the multi-patterning technology of protein microarrays is required. Among the different methods of fabricating protein microarrays, the microfluidic platform was selected due to its various advantages over other techniques. Microfluidic devices were designed and fabricated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) by the replica molding method. These devices were designed to operate using only capillary force, without the need for additional flow control equipment. With these devices, multiple protein-patterned sensor surfaces were made, to support the two-dimensional detection of various protein-protein interactions with SPR. The fabrication technique of protein microarrays can be applied not only to SPR imaging, but also to other biochemical analyses.

Glass slides were chemically etched with sulfuric acid using five different methods. we investigated the effects of the chemical etching conditions on such properties as chemical composition, surface roughness, and the thermal stability of the glass. Sodium and carbon atoms in the surface of the glass are effectively eliminated by chemical etching with sulfuric acid. The glass slides were boiled for 30 min in 95% sulfuric acid and were depth profiled at room temperature with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the Na ls signal was not detected in the detection limit of XPS. Surface morphology of the glass was very different depending on the concentration of sulfuric acid. The surface of the glass etched with 50% sulfuric acid was rougher than that of glass etched with 95% sulfuric acid. The sodium concentration of the glass boiled for 30 min in 95% sulfuric acid was nearly zero at the glass surface, and the sodium composition changed very little with annealing temperatures up to 35$0^{\circ}C$ in a vacuum environment. However the sulfur concentration at the glass surface due to the sulfuric acid increased with increasing temperature.
