In this study,a sensitive lateral flow immunoassay(LFIA)platform based on carbon dots-mesoporous silica nanocomposite(CD-MSNs)fluorescent probes was constructed for high-performance detection of inflammatory marker interleukin-6(IL-6).Green fluorescent carbon dots(CDs)were prepared by hydrothermal method with 3,9-perylenic acid and 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES)as raw materials,and highly fluorescent CD-MSNs composites were then constructed by encapsulating the prepared CDs in mesoporous silica nanoparticles(MSNs).Fluorescent probes were prepared by covalent coupling of CD-MSNs with IL-6 antibody.Fluorescent immunochromatographic test strips were constructed by spraying IL-6 capture antibody and goat anti-mouse IgG on nitrocellulose membrane as detection line(T-line)and quality control line(C-line),respectively.The fluorescence immunoassay analyzer was used to quantitatively detect the fluorescence intensity of T-line,and the experimental results showed that the LFIA platform based on this probe had a good linear relationship in IL-6 concentration range of 102-106 pg/mL,and the detection limit was 64 pg/mL,which was two orders of magnitude more sensitive than that of the traditional colloidal gold test strips.This method effectively solved the issue of insufficient sensitivity of traditional LFIA technique,and provided a rapid and highly sensitive detection method for early diagnosis of inflammatory diseases.

ObjectiveA growing body of research suggests a strong link between metabolic imbalance and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In recent years, the development of metabolomics makes it possible to study the characteristic changes of peripheral metabolism in AD. Serum levels of tryptophan and tyrosine were associated with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and AD. The purpose of this study is to further characterize tryptophan and tyrosine levels in MCI and AD. MethodsWe stratified 765 participants from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative-1 (ADNI-1) cohort into cognitively normal (CN; n=207), stable mild cognitive impairment (sMCI; n=201), progressive mild cognitive impairment (pMCI; n=171), and dementia due to AD (n=186). Serum tryptophan and tyrosine were analyzed for diagnostic value of MCI and AD. To evaluate the relationships between serum tryptophan and tyrosine and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers, brain structure (magnetic resonance imaging, MRI), cerebral glucose metabolism (¹⁸F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography, FDG-PET), and cognitive declines, through different cognitive subgroups. ResultsSerum tryptophan was decreased in patients with AD, pMCI or sMCI compared with CN. Serum tyrosine was decreased in patients with AD or pMCI compared with CN. Serum tryptophan has diagnostic value for pMCI and AD. Serum tyrosine has diagnostic value for AD. ConclusionSerum tryptophan and tyrosine contribute to the early diagnosis of AD. The detection of tryptophan and tyrosine can contribute to the pathogenesis of AD. Serum tryptophan and tyrosine were not significantly associated with core AD markers, cognitive function, brain structure and brain metabolism, so serum tryptophan and tyrosine may not be good peripheral AD biomarkers.
