With the increasing incidence of thyroid cancer worldwide and the increasing demand for surgery, the risk of parathyroid injury is also increasing, which will lead to postoperative hypoparathyroidism (HP) and hypocalcemia. In order to improve the quality of life of patients after surgery, there is an urgent need to develop a novel platform that can identify the parathyroid gland immediately during surgery. The parathyroid gland promotes the increase of blood calcium concentration by secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH).

This study investigates the functionalization of gold-coated magnetoelastic sensors with thionine molecules, focusing on resonance frequency shifts. The functionalization process was characterized by using Raman spectroscopy and analyzed via scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy, revealing the progressive formation of molecular clusters over time. Our results demonstrate that longer functionalization time leads to saturation of surface coverage and cluster formation, impacting the sensor's resonance frequency shifts.

The decrease in the slope efficiency caused by irradiation decays exponentially with an increase in the X-ray radiation doses, and the radiation-induced gain variation (RIGV) showed a linear decay trend with increasing irradiation doses. The slope efficiency of Yb-doped LMA PCF, which significantly degraded from 71.

In this article, what we believe to be a novel dual-mode optical fiber sensor incorporating surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is proposed for ultra-trace Hg detection. The sensing probe comprises gold (Au)/graphene oxide (GO) composite membrane structure and Au nanospheres (AuNPs), which are connected via double-stranded DNA.

Dispersion curve analysis demonstrates cavity and surface plasmon modes in the 1D nanograting chips with periods of 400 nm and 800 nm. In this grating period range, the cut-off period is at a grating period of 644 nm under excitation with a wavelength of 670 nm.
