Importance And Objective: Besides their role in diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (MI), troponins may be powerful biomarkers for risk stratification in the general population. The objective of our study was to compare the performance of three troponin assays in cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk prediction in a population-based cohort without a history of CVD events.
Design, Setting And Participants: Troponin I concentrations were measured using a contemporary-sensitivity, high-sensitivity, and super-sensitivity assay in 7,899 participants of the general-population based FINRISK 1997 cohort. We used Cox proportional hazards regression to determine relative risks, followed by measures of discrimination and reclassification using 10-fold cross-validation to control for over-optimism.
Main Outcome: As outcome measures we used CVD, MI, ischemic stroke, heart failure (HF), and major adverse cardiac events (MACE). During the follow-up of 14 years 1,074 incident MACE were observed.
Results: Values above the lower limit of detection were observed in 26.4%, 81.5% and 93.9% for the contemporary-sensitivity, high-sensitivity and super-sensitivity assay, respectively. We observed significant associations of troponin concentrations with the risk of future CVD events and the results tended to become stronger with increasing assay sensitivity. For the super-sensitivity assay the multivariate adjusted hazard ratios (per one standard deviation increase) for different outcomes were: MI 1.24 [95% CI 1.11-1.39], stroke 1.14 [1.01-1.28], CVD 1.15 [1.07-1.24], HF 1.28 [1.18-1.39], and MACE 1.18 [1.11-1.25]. In subjects with intermediate risk, we found an improvement of net reclassification for HF (10.2%, p<0.001), and MACE (5.1%, p<0.001).
Conclusion: Using a super-sensitivity assay, cardiac troponin was detectable in almost all healthy individuals. Its concentration improved risk prediction and reclassification for cardiovascular endpoints.

Article Synopsis
- Recent advances in cell tumor DNA (ctDNA) mutation detection still struggle with identifying low-frequency mutations due to sensitivity limitations.
- The newly developed HiCASE technique enhances detection sensitivity to 0.01% using PCR-based CRISPR and restriction enzymes, specifically targeting EGFR mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
- In clinical tests with 140 plasma samples from NSCLC patients, HiCASE demonstrated 88.1% sensitivity and 100% specificity, outperforming existing methods and effectively distinguishing important mutations related to treatment decisions.

Okadaic acid (OA) biotoxin acts a well-established inhibitor of protein phosphatase even a tumor promoter of human being, arouse great attention in safety monitoring. However, the powerful and convenient nanosensing technologies for addressing the demands such as rapidity, high sensitivity, and stability in the in-field test of OA shellfish toxin is still scarce. Herein, a high-performance magnetic biometric nanosensor (MBNS) integrating oriented aptamers and ultrasensitive laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) was firstly proposed for the in-field detection of trace OA in seafoods.

Pesticides are primarily used in agriculture to increase crop yield because of their highly lucrative, stable structure and agricultural benefits such as eliminating fungi, plant diseases, pests and insects to regulate the growth of crops. Apart from their rebel design and agricultural benefits, pesticides have severe toxicity to a variety of other living organisms. Therefore, developing effective pesticide detection systems is an ongoing challenge.

Aptamers have gained significant attention as the molecular recognition element to replace antibodies in sensor development and target delivery. Nevertheless, it is noteworthy that unlike the wide application of polyvalent antibodies, existing researches on the combined use of heterologous aptamers with similar recognition affinity and specificity for target detection were sporadic. Herein, first, the wide existence of polyaptamer for bacteria was revealed through the summary of existing literature.

Photoacoustic (PA) imaging is becoming more attractive because it can obtain high-resolution and high-contrast images through merging the merits of optical and acoustic imaging. High sensitivity receiver is required in deep in-vivo PA imaging due to detecting weak and noisy ultrasound signal. A novel photoacoustic receiver system-on-chip (SoC) with coherent detection (CD) based on the early-and-late acquisition and tracking is developed and first fabricated.
