Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

A polymethionine(p-Met)-modified laser-induced graphene(LIG)electrode was constructed and integrated with portable electrochemical workstations and handheld computer to achieve on-site,simultaneous detection of azo dyes sunset yellow(SY)and tartrazine(Tz)in environmental water.Firstly,the sensor interface with the best electrical conductivity was obtained by optimizing the laser processing parameters,and then the electrochemical responses of SY and Tz were improved by electropolymerization of methionine on the surface of LIG.Finally,a portable electrochemical sensor platform was built by connecting p-Met/LIG,a small electrochemical workstation and a handheld computer application program.Differential pulse voltammetry(DPV)was used to determine these two dyes.SY showed a good linear relationship in the concentration range of 0.2-20 μmol/L and 20-100 μmol/L,the detection limit was as low as 0.001 μmol/L.Tz showed a good linear relationship in concentration range of 0.3-40 μmol/L and 40-100 μmol/L,and the detection limits was as low as 0.005 μmol/L.p-Met/LIG also had excellent anti-interference performance and reproducibility.The portable electrochemical platform was applied to real-time detection of real water samples,and the results showed that the platform was expected to be applied in field detection of SY and Tz in real environmental water bodies.

Kidney ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is a leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) with a poor prognosis and high mortality rate. Recent studies have reported that chrysophanol may have a renal protective effect, but its specific impact and mechanism on IRI remain unclear. This study aimed to explore the effects and mechanisms of chrysophanol on AKI induced by IRI. By utilizing a unilateral kidney IRI mouse model, histopathological changes in the kidney, serum levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen, and protein expressions of apoptosis and mitophagy in kidney tissue were examined. Additionally, a hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) model of human kidney-2 (HK-2) cells was established to measure mitochondrial membrane potential levels and reactive oxygen species (ROS). Functional enrichment analysis was performed to screen relevant targets of chrysophanol and AKI, and to verify key targets and pathways. The animal experiments conducted in this study were ethically approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Peking University (No. LA2021503). The findings indicate that the IRI group exhibited elevated levels of creatinine and urea nitrogen in serum, significant renal tissue damage, and increased expression of renal injury markers (KIM1), apoptosis-related proteins (cleaved-caspase 3, caspase 3, cytochrome C), and mitochondrial autophagy protein (PINK1) compared to the sham surgery group. Chrysophanol treatment ameliorated the aforementioned pathological changes in a dose-dependent manner in an IRI model. Additionally, it exhibited significant improvements in mitochondrial membrane potential and inhibition of ROS production in HK-2 cells subjected to H/R conditions. Through network pharmacological analysis, HSP90AA1 and PIK3R1 were identified as key targets primarily enriched in the phosphoinositide 3 kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) validation confirmed that chrysophanol significantly decreased HSP90AA1 and PIK3R1 mRNA levels in HK-2 cells under H/R conditions, while also enhancing the protein expressions of p-PI3K, PI3K, p-Akt, and Akt. In conclusion, chrysophanol has the potential to enhance AKI by selectively modulating HSP90AA1 and PIK3R1, activating the PI3K/Akt pathway, decreasing apoptosis, regulating mitochondrial autophagy, enhancing mitochondrial membrane potential, and suppressing ROS production. These findings suggest that chrysophanol could serve as a promising therapeutic option for the treatment of AKI.

ObjectiveTo analyze the incidence and epidemiological characteristics of infectious diseases among the primary and secondary school students in Songjiang District, Shanghai, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of infectious diseases in schools. MethodsDescriptive epidemiological methods were used to analyze the types and numbers of infectious diseases among students in Songjiang District from 2018 to 2022. Furthermore, the incidence, constituent ratios and incidence precedence of infectious diseases were calculated simultaneously. ResultsA total of 5 543 cases of student infectious diseases were reported in Songjiang District from 2018 to 2022, involving 17 types of infectious diseases, with an annual incidence rate of 11.38‰. The reported infectious diseases were mainly respiratory infectious diseases (77.72%), followed by intestinal infections (21.88%). Chickenpox, influenza, and hand-foot-mouth disease were the top three infectious diseases according to the incidence rate, with a total of 3 966 cases reported, accounting for 71.55% of the total cases. More male cases were reported than females with a gender ratio of 1.44∶1. Infectious diseases were most prevalent among students aged between 6~<13 years (4 383 cases, accounting for 79.07%). The distribution of infectious diseases among students showed two peaks: from November to December and April to May. Jiuting Town, Xinqiao Town, and Chedun Town were the top three subdistricts (towns) in terms of incidence rate. ConclusionThe situation of infectious disease prevention and control among the primary and secondary school students in Songjiang District is severe, and monitoring and prevention of infectious diseases among students should be strengthened, especially respiratory infectious diseases.
