RESUMO

The simultaneous infection with a tripledemic-simultaneous infection with influenza A pH1N1 virus (Flu), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)-necessitates the development of accurate and fast multiplex diagnostic tests. The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has emphasized the importance of virus detection. Field-effect transistor (FET)-based immuno-biosensors have a short detection time and do not require labeling or polymerase chain reaction. This study demonstrates the rapid, sensitive detection of influenza A pH1N1, SARS-CoV-2, and RSV using a multiplex immunosensor based on a dual-gate oxide semiconductor thin-film transistor (TFT), a type of FET. The dual-gate oxide TFT was modified by adjusting both top and bottom gate insulators to improve capacitive coupling to approximately 120-fold amplification, exhibiting a high pH sensitivity of about 10 V/pH. The dual-gate oxide TFT-based immunosensor detected the target proteins (hemagglutinin (HA) protein of Flu, spike 1 (S1) protein of SARS-CoV-2, and fusion protein of RSV) of each virus, with a limit of detection of approximately 1 fg/mL. Cultured viruses in phosphate-buffered saline or artificial saliva and clinical nasopharynx samples were detected in 1-µL sample volumes within 60 s. This promising diagnosis could be potentially as point-of-care tests to facilitate a prompt response to future pandemics with high sensitivity and multiplexed detection without pretreatment.

RESUMO

Top-gate self-aligned structured oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) are suitable for the backplanes of high-end displays because of their low parasitic capacitances. The gate insulator (GI) deposition process should be carefully designed to manufacture a highly stable, high-mobility oxide TFT, particularly for a top-gate structure. In this study, a nanometer-thick Al2O3 layer via plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PE-ALD) is deposited on the top-gate bottom-contact structured oxide TFT as the interface tailoring layer, which can also act as the hydrogen barrier to modulate carrier generation from hydrogen incorporation into the active layer of the TFT during the following process such as postannealing. Al-doped InSnZnO (Al/ITZO) with an Al/In/Sn/Zn atomic ratio composition of 1.7:24.3:40:34 was used for high mobility oxide semiconductors, and an Al2O3/Si3N4 bilayer was used for the GI. The degradation issue due to the excellent barrier characteristics of Al2O3 and Si3N4 can be minimized. An oxide TFT fabricated without the interface tailoring layer exhibits conductor-like characteristics owing to the excessive carrier generation by hydrogen incorporation. However, TFTs with additional interface layers exhibit reasonable characteristics and distinct trends in electrical characteristics depending on the thicknesses of the interface layers. The optimized devices exhibit an average turn-on voltage (Von) of -0.31 V with 33.63 cm2/(V s) of high mobility and 0.09 V/dec of subthreshold swing value. The interfaces between the active layer and hydrogen barriers were investigated using a high-resolution transmission electron microscope, contact angle measurement, and secondary ion mass spectroscopy to reveal the origin of the trends in properties between the devices. The top-gate device with a hydrogen barrier using the four-cycle deposition exhibits optimum electrical characteristics of both high mobility and good stability with only a 0.04 V shift of Von under positive-bias temperature stress (PBTS). We realize a high-end, self-aligned TFT with high mobility [34.7 cm2/(V s)] and negligible Von shift of -0.06 V under PBTS by applying a subnanometer hydrogen barrier.

RESUMO

BACKGRUOUND: Enavogliflozin is a novel sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitor currently under clinical development. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of enavogliflozin as an add-on to metformin in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) against dapagliflozin. METHODS: In this multicenter, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 study, 200 patients were randomized to receive enavogliflozin 0.3 mg/day (n=101) or dapagliflozin 10 mg/day (n=99) in addition to ongoing metformin therapy for 24 weeks. The primary objective of the study was to prove the non-inferiority of enavogliflozin to dapagliflozin in glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) change at week 24 (non-inferiority margin of 0.35%) (Clinical trial registration number: NCT04634500). RESULTS: Adjusted mean change of HbA1c at week 24 was -0.80% with enavogliflozin and -0.75% with dapagliflozin (difference, -0.04%; 95% confidence interval, -0.21% to 0.12%). Percentages of patients achieving HbA1c <7.0% were 61% and 62%, respectively. Adjusted mean change of fasting plasma glucose at week 24 was -32.53 and -29.14 mg/dL. An increase in urine glucose-creatinine ratio (60.48 vs. 44.94, P<0.0001) and decrease in homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (-1.85 vs. -1.31, P=0.0041) were significantly greater with enavogliflozin than dapagliflozin at week 24. Beneficial effects of enavogliflozin on body weight (-3.77 kg vs. -3.58 kg) and blood pressure (systolic/diastolic, -5.93/-5.41 mm Hg vs. -6.57/-4.26 mm Hg) were comparable with those of dapagliflozin, and both drugs were safe and well-tolerated. CONCLUSION: Enavogliflozin added to metformin significantly improved glycemic control in patients with T2DM and was non-inferior to dapagliflozin 10 mg, suggesting enavogliflozin as a viable treatment option for patients with inadequate glycemic control on metformin alone.

RESUMO

This study demonstrates the application feasibility of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in measuring estrogen (17ß-estradiol) in gas phase. The present biosensor gives a linear response (R2 = 0.999) for 17ß-estradiol vapor concentration from 3.7 ng/L to 3.7 × 10-4 ng/L with a limit of detection (3.7 × 10-4 ng/L). The results show that the fabricated biosensor demonstrates better detection limit of 17ß-estradiol in gas phase than the previous report with GC-MS method. This estrogen biosensor has many potential applications for on-site detection of a variety of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) in the gas phase.

RESUMO

A colorimetric sensor array was developed to characterize and quantify the taste of white wines. A charge-coupled device (CCD) camera captured images of the sensor array from 23 different white wine samples, and the change in the R, G, B color components from the control were analyzed by principal component analysis. Additionally, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to analyze the chemical components of each wine sample responsible for its taste. A two-dimensional score plot was created with 23 data points. It revealed clusters created from the same type of grape, and trends of sweetness, sourness, and astringency were mapped. An artificial neural network model was developed to predict the degree of sweetness, sourness, and astringency of the white wines. The coefficients of determination (R2) for the HPLC results and the sweetness, sourness, and astringency were 0.96, 0.95, and 0.83, respectively. This research could provide a simple and low-cost but sensitive taste prediction system, and, by helping consumer selection, will be able to have a positive effect on the wine industry.

RESUMO

We report a rapid and highly sensitive trace analysis of paraquat (PQ) in water using a surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS)-based microdroplet sensor. Aqueous samples of PQ, silver nanoparticles, and NaCl as the aggregation agent were introduced into a microfluidic channel and were encapsulated by a continuous oil phase to form a microdroplet. PQ molecules were adsorbed onto particle surfaces in isolated droplets by passing through the winding part of the channel. Memory effects, caused by the precipitation of nanoparticle aggregates on channel walls, were removed because the aqueous droplets were completely isolated by a continuous oil phase. The limit of detection (LOD) of PQ in water, determined by the SERS-based microdroplet sensor, was estimated to be below 2×10(-9) M, and this low detection limit was enhanced by one to two orders of magnitude compared to conventional analytical methods.
