Article Abstract
Monitoring levels of biologicals against tumor necrosis factor (TNF) has been suggested to improve therapeutic outcomes in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs). This pilot study describes a rapid lateral flow (LF)-based assay for on-site monitoring of serum trough levels of humanized monoclonal antibody infliximab (IFX). The applied chromatographic method utilizes sequential flows of diluted serum, wash buffer, and an immunoglobulin generic label on LF strips with a Test line comprised of TNF-α. The successive flows permitted enrichment of IFX at the Test line before the label was applied. The label, luminescent upconverting phosphor (UCP) particles coated with protein-A, emits a 550-nm visible light upon excitation with 980-nm infrared light. IFX concentrations were determined through measurement of UCP fluorescence at the Test line. The assay was optimized to detect IFX levels as low as 0.17 μg/mL in serum. For patients with IBD, this limit is appropriate to detect levels associated with loss of response (0.5 μg IFX/mL). The assay was evaluated with clinical samples from patients with Crohn's disease and correlated well within the physiologically relevant range from 0.17 to 10 μg/mL with an IFX-specific ELISA. Performance of the assay was further successfully validated with samples from blood donors, IFX negative IBD patients, and rheumatoid arthritis patients that had developed anti-IFX antibodies. Because of its generic nature, the assay is suited for detecting most therapeutic anti-TNF-α monoclonal antibodies.

ConspectusThe surface of a catalyst is crucial for understanding the mechanisms of catalytic reactions at the molecular level and developing new catalysts with higher activity, selectivity, and durability. Ambient pressure X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (AP-XPS) is a technique studying the surface of a sample in the gas phase, mainly identifying chemical identity, analyzing oxidation state, and measuring surface composition.In the last decade, numerous photoelectron spectroscopic methods for fundamental studies of key topics in catalysis using AP-XPS have been developed.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) finds extensive applications in various industries, particularly in the environmental field. The photocatalytic production of HO through the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) or the water oxidation reaction (WOR) offers a promising approach. However, several challenges hinder effective on-site production, such as the rapid electron-hole pair recombination, inefficient visible light utilization, and limited selectivity in HO formation.

Tandem mass spectrometry (MS) is one of the most effective methods to obtain the structures of organic molecules, enabling the observation of multigenerational ion fragments. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) is currently the most mature technique for mass spectrometry analysis. Ion trap mass spectrometry (ITMS) is favored for on-site detection field, due to its ability of MS analysis with a single trap and its small size.

Stimulant laxatives (especially bisacodyl and sodium picosulfate) are frequently found to be adulterated into slimming foods, causing health-threatening effects to consumers. Sensitive, accurate, easy-to-operate and portable multiplex analytical techniques are still desired for the rapid screening of stimulant laxatives in slimming foods. In this work, a highly sensitive dual-modal colorimetric/photothermal lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (LFIA) was established based on facilely prepared concentrated gold nanoparticles (cAuNPs).

An europium metal organic framework (Eu-DBPA-Phen) was synthesized using 2,5-dibromoterephthalic acid (HDBPA) and 1-10-phenanthroline (Phen) as ligands. A straightforwardc quasi-ratiometric fluorescence probe was then developed for the detection of levofloxacin (LVF) by the simplistic combination of red-emitting Eu-DBPA-Phen and the inherent blue auto-fluorescence of the target. The probe exhibits the advantages of wide linear range (0.
