Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) is a cytosolic pattern recognition receptor that recognizes multiple pathogen-associated molecular patterns and damage-associated molecular patterns. It is a cytoplasmic immune factor that responds to cellular stress signals, and it is usually activated after infection or inflammation, forming an NLRP3 inflammasome to protect the body. Aberrant NLRP3 inflammasome activation is reportedly associated with some inflammatory diseases and metabolic diseases.

Aortic dissection (AD) is a medical emergency that occurs as a result of a compromise in the structural integrity of the aorta. If left untreated, AD can have severe consequences such as organ dysfunction or even death. Malperfusion syndrome is a major complication of aortic dissection with mesenteric malperfusion syndrome being a rare but devastating form that can lead to mesenteric ischemia and is associated with poor prognosis despite timely management.

Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the most common causes of sudden death in cardiovascular disease, and myoglobin (Myo) is the first protein to be released in the blood after the attack, which is an important biomarker for clinical detection of AMI. The "Golden Rescue Time" for acute myocardial infarction is to intervene within the first 30 min after the attack; therefore, a rapid and accurate Myo detection method is needed urgently. In this study, we designed a combined enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique with surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) immunoassay (ELI-SERS), which integrates the small sample volume, ease of operation, and excellent linearity of ELISA while utilizing the SERS technique and selecting the molecule with the Raman signal (IR-808), which is in resonance with the excitation wavelength, for further signal enhancement.
