An electrogenerated chemiluminescence ( ECL) sensor was fabricated by employing ruthenium complex polymer as ECL signal and ionic liquid as binding reagent and a sensitive ECL method for the determination of heroin was developed. The ECL sensor was prepared by thoroughly mixing ruthenium complex polymer,graphite powder and ionic liquid,which shows good electrochemical and ECL behaviors. The detection limit for tripropylamine (TPA) was one order of magnitude lower than that observed at the paraffin modified carbon paste electrode. ECL intensity of the fabricated sensor was greatly enhanced in the presence of heroin and a sensitive ECL method was proposed for the determination of heroin based on the enhancement ECL. The ECL intensity was linear with the concentration of heroin in the range from 2. 0 ×10~(-9) mol/L to 2. 0×10~(-5) mol/L and the detection limit was 8×10~(-10) mol/L. The ECL sensor exhibited a long-term stability,fine reproducibility with relative standard deviation less than 5% for 5. 0×10~(-9) mol/L heroin in 60 continuous determinations. The developed method allows the detection of heroin in a serum sample with recovery in 94% -101%.

A novel electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) sensor for the determination of metoclopramide was developed by employing ruthenium complex as an ECL signal producer and an ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) material as modified material. The ECL sensor was fabricated by adsorption ruthenium complex into a mixture of OMC and Nafion, which showed good electrochemical and ECL behaviors. It was found that the ECL intensity of the sensor fabricated was greatly enhanced in the presence of metoclopramide. Based on this finding, a highly sensitive and reproducible ECL method was developed for the determination of metoclopramide. The result showed that the ECL intensity was linear with the concentration of metoclopramide in the range from 1.0×10-10 to 5.0×10-7M and the detection limit was 3×10-11M. The ECL sensor exhibited a long-term stability and a fine reproducibility with relative standard deviation of 1.0 % for 1.0×10-10M metoclopramide in 18 continuous determinations. The developed method has been applied to the determination of metoclopramide in tablet samples with satisfactory results.

Purpose To investigate the diagnostic utility of the immunohistochemical markers SALL4, D2-40 and Glypican-3 in prima-ry testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs). Methods The expression of SALL4, D2-40 and Glypican-3 protein was detected by EnVi-sion immunohistochemical method in 56 cases of primary testicular germ cell tumors, including 5 intratubular germ cell neoplasms ( IT-GCNs) , 10 seminomas, 14 embryonal carcinomas ( ECs) , 14 yolk sac tumors ( YSTs) , 1 choriocarcinoma, 5 immature teratomas and 12 mature teratomas. 10 normal testicular tissues and 5 lymphomas were selected as control. Results All of ITGCNs, seminomas, YSTs and ECs were diffusely strongly positive for SALL4. Focal SALL4 staining was seen in choriocarcinoma, 3 of 5 immature terato-mas and 3 of 12 mature teratomas. All of ITGCNs, seminomas showed diffusely strong D2-40 staining. ECs (4/14) were focally posi-tive for D2-40, while choriocarcinoma, YSTs and teratomas were negative for D2-40. Glypican-3 was diffusely positive in YSTs (13/14), and focally weakly positive in ECs (2/14), respectively. ITGCNs, seminomas, choriocarcinoma and teratoma were negative for Glypican-3. In contrast, 10 normal testicular tissues and 5 lymphomas showed no SALL4, D2-40 and Glypican-3 staining. Conclu-sions SALL4 is a useful diagnostic marker with high sensitivity and specificity for TGCTs. Combination of SALL4, D2-40 and Glypi-can-3 is helpful to the diagnosis and differential diagnosis for TGCTs.

Objective To explore the primary teeth caries status of preschoolers in Pudong community and its relevant factors of parental knowledge-belief-practice (KBP).Methods Using stratified random cluster sampling,a total of 1 179 children from 9 kindergartens in Hudong community in Pudong new area were examined.Oral cavity check-ups and parental questionnaire survey were conduced to understand the primary teeth caries rate of preschoolers and its related influencing factors.Results The prevalence rate of primary teeth caries was 53.2％ and DMFT 2.79.The prevalence rate of primary teeth caries had statistical significance in different age groups (P ＜ 0.05).Multi-factor analysis showed that the influencing factors of primary teeth caries were age (P ＜ 0.05),parental education level (P ＜ 0.05),parental assistance of teeth brushing (P ＜ 0.05),children eating sweets before bedtime (P ＜ 0.05) and parental awareness for treating primary teeth (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The prevalence rate of primary teeth caries is high among the preschoolers of Pudong.And age,parental education level,parental preventive knowledge of teeth caries and poor eating habits are significant factors correlated with the incidence of dental caries in children.

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence (electrochemiluminescence, ECL) generates species at electrode surfaces, which undergoes electron-transfer reactions and forms excited states to emit light. It has be-come a very powerful analytical technique and has been widely used in such as clinical testing, bio-warfare agent detection, and pharmaceutical analysis. This review focuses on the current trends of molecular recognition-based biosensing methods for pharmaceutical analysis since 2010. It introduces a background of ECL and presents the recent ECL developments in ECL immunoassay (ECLIA), im-munosensors, enzyme-based biosensors, aptamer-based biosensors, and molecularly imprinted poly-mers (MIP)-based sensors. At last, the future perspective for these analytical methods is briefly discussed.
