In this paper, we report on novel iso-Y-shaped-nanopillar based photonic crystals (PCs) engineered for plasmonic lab-on-a-chip advanced diagnostics. The iso-Y shaped units are selected on the basis of their plasmonic properties, analyzed numerically and experimentally. We show that by accurately choosing the nanopillar shape, dimensions and their geometrical disposal it is possible to obtain efficient optical 2D structures for biomolecule detection by high-sensitive localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR). In particular, an assay is realized by using bovine serum albumin (BSA), a widely recognized model for biosystem studies. BSA was simply deposited on a self-assembled monolayer (SAM) of 4-mercaptobenzoic acid (4-MBA) previously grown-up on the plasmonic substrate. We demonstrate that the geometries considered allow the design of LSPR nano-assays working in the visible-NIR region based on both intensity interrogation and the resonance peak shift permitting the sensing of BSA with a limit of detection in the order of picomoles (LOD = 233 pM).

Cardiovascular Center, Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100005, China.
To explore the relationship between BigET-1 and cardiac remodeling in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 150 HOCM patients in a hospital from September 2021 to August 2023. According to the 2015 American Ultrasound Society's recommended standards for quantifying adult UGG cardiac lumen, left atrial enlargement is defined as having a left atrial diameter greater than 40 mm in males and greater than 38 mm in females.

Article Synopsis
- * High-sensitive immunochemical methods for detecting troponins T and I can identify even minor heart damage early, allowing for rapid diagnosis within 1-2 hours of patient admission for acute coronary syndrome.
- * The article highlights how gender differences can influence the concentration levels of these troponins in serum, which is crucial to consider when establishing diagnostic thresholds for conditions like acute coronary syndrome.
Evaluating the impact of oral hygiene instruction and digital oral health education within cardiac rehabilitation clinics: A protocol for a novel, dual centre, parallel randomised controlled trial.

Article Synopsis
- Periodontal diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis are prevalent, affecting a large portion of the population and can lead to significant dental and cardiovascular health issues due to inflammation and biofilm accumulation.
- High levels of inflammatory markers such as hsCRP are linked to cardiovascular diseases and can appear quickly after poor oral hygiene practices, highlighting the importance of maintaining good oral health to mitigate these risks.
- This study will evaluate whether individualized oral hygiene instruction combined with digital oral health education can improve the oral health of patients with cardiovascular disease in a randomized controlled trial with 165 participants.
Visual and quantitative lateral flow immunoassay based on Au@PS SERS tags for multiplex cardiac biomarkers.

Rapid and sensitive detection of multiple biomarkers by lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) remains challenging for signal amplification for commonly used nanotags. Herein, we report a novel LFIA strip for visual and highly sensitive analysis of two cardiac biomarkers based on functionalized gold nanoparticles @ polystyrene microsphere (Au@PS）microcavity as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) tags. Antibody-modified Au@PS was designed as a SERS label.

Department of Colorectal Surgery.
Background: Approximately 60% of patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) experience relapse within 2 years after radical resection, previous studies have proven that repeat local treatment (LT) could prolong survival, however, it is difficult to seize the window for LT due to the lack of a high-sensitive surveillance method. In this study, the authors aim to examine the value of longitudinal circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in guiding adjuvant chemotherapy, optimizing clinical surveillance strategy, and thereby improving CRLM outcomes.
Materials And Methods: The authors conducted a prospective clinical trial using a personalized, tumor-informed ctDNA assay to monitor 60 CRLM patients undergoing resection with curative intent.
