Although diffusion gradient in thin-film technique (DGT) has realized the in-situ sampling Sulfamethazine (SMT), the traditional DGT devices cannot be served as sensing devices but in-situ sampling devices. Here we report a recyclable surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) responsive DGT sensing device (recyclable SERS-DGT Sensing Device) capable of in-situ sensing of SMT in water. This is achieved by innovatively utilizing a recyclable SERS responsive liquid suspension of Au nanoparticles supported on g-CN (Au@g-CNNS) as DGT binding phase. Au@g-CNNS is synthesized via in-situ growth method and embed in DGT binding phase, which exhibits good SERS activity, aqueous stability recyclable and adsorption performance. The SERS-DGT Sensing Device is valid for measuring SMT under a wide range of conditions (i.e., deployment time 24∼180 h, concentrations range of 1.031∼761.9 ng mL, pH 5∼9, ionic strength 0.0001∼0.05 mol L NaCl, DOM concentrations 0∼100 mg L, four recycles). Furthermore, substrate combined with DGT binding phase, can integrate the sampling, pretreatment and SERS detection of SMT, which can be recycled, improving the reliability and efficiency of environmental monitoring. In this article, recyclable SERS-DGT Sensing Device, a platform for recyclable in-situ sensing of antibiotics, holds great potential for environmental monitoring.

Ionic gels (IGs), ionic liquids (ILs) dispersed in polymers, exhibit extremely low vapor pressure, electrochemical and thermal stability, and excellent mechanical characteristics; therefore, they are used for fabricating stretchable sensors, electrochemical transistors, and energy storage devices. Although such characteristics are promising for flexible and stretchable electronics, the mechanical stress-induced ruptured covalent bonds forming polymer networks cannot recover owing to the irreversible interaction between the bonds. Physical cross-linking via noncovalent bonds enables the interaction of polymers and ILs to form supramolecular IGs (SIGs), which exhibit favorable characteristics for wearable devices that conventional IGs with noncovalent bonds cannot achieve.

Background: Breast Implant Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a haematological malignancy which may occur in patients with textured breast implant history. While typically diagnosed at an early stage with good prognosis, it may present with local residual disease due to incomplete surgical excision.
Case Presentation: We describe the case of a 42 year-old woman with a history of bilateral breast augmentation for cosmetic purposes 21 years prior, who developed recurring seroma of the left side.

The optoelectronic memristor integrates the multifunctionalities of image sensing, storage, and processing, which has been considered as the leading candidate to construct novel neuromorphic visual system. In particular, memristive materials with all-optical modulation and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatibility are highly desired for energy-efficient image perception. As a p-type oxide material, CuO exhibits outstanding theoretical photoelectric conversion efficiency and broadband photoresponse.
