As an essential indicator of liver function, bilirubin is of great significance for clinical diagnosis. A non-enzymatic sensor has been established for sensitive bilirubin detection based on the bilirubin oxidation catalyzed by unlabeled gold nanocages (GNCs). GNCs with dual-localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) peaks were prepared by a one-pot method. One peak around 500 nm was ascribed to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), and the other located in the near-infrared region was the typical peak of GNCs. The catalytic oxidation of bilirubin by GNCs was accompanied by the disruption of cage structure, releasing free AuNPs from the nanocage. This transformation changed the dual peak intensities in opposite trend, and made it possible to realize the colorimetric sensing of bilirubin in a ratiometric mode. The absorbance ratios showed good linearity to bilirubin concentrations in the range of 0.20~3.60 μmol/L with a detection limit of 39.35 nM (3σ, = 3). The sensor exhibited excellent selectivity for bilirubin over other coexisting substances. Bilirubin in real human serum samples was detected with recoveries ranging from 94.5 to 102.6%. The method for bilirubin assay is simple, sensitive and without complex biolabeling.

The use of endoscopic ultrasound in tandem with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in the 2019 American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy guideline for patients at high risk of choledocholithiasis can help to avoid diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in individuals without ascending cholangitis.

Objectives: Choledocholithiasis is the leading cause of biliary pancreatitis and biliary sepsis. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is considered a minimally invasive treatment for choledocholithiasis. However, diagnostic ERCP should be avoided.

Introduction: Current severity classification of appendicitis does not take into account the impact of bloodstream infection (BSI), despite the importance of BSI in critical care settings. Therefore, we examined whether BSI in emergency appendectomy indicated for acute appendicitis has a clinical impact.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with acute appendicitis who underwent emergency surgery at our department between July 2015 and January 2020.

Introduction: Golden Retrievers have a high risk of obesity, which is prevalent in dogs and is associated with inflammation and cancer, impairing the health and life expectancy of companion animals. Microbial and metabolite biomarkers have been proposed for identifying the presence of obesity in humans and rodents. However, the effects of obesity on the microbiome and metabolome of Golden Retrievers remains unknown.

Noninvasive diagnosis of human diseases relies on the detection of molecular markers (probes) in a painless manner. Although extrinsic and intrinsic molecular markers are often used, intrinsic disease probes (molecular markers) are preferable because they are naturally present in our body, and deviation in their concentration from normal levels clearly indicates anomalies in human bodies, that is, diseases. In this study, we report noninvasive spectroscopic measurements of total haemoglobin (Hb), bilirubin, and the ratio of oxy- and deoxyhaemoglobin as disease markers for anaemia, jaundice, and oxygen deficiency, respectively, using a meticulously designed optical fibre probe.

Transcutaneous bilirubinometry (TcB) is a recognized tool to monitor neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, demonstrating a high correlation with total serum bilirubin (TSB) before phototherapy. However, once phototherapy is started, TcB may become unreliable. To evaluate the correlation and agreement of TcB measured under variously patched skin at different sites (a coin over the sternum, eye shield over the forehead, and diaper area at the back) with TSB.
