Unlike natural enzymes that readily adapt to physiological environments, artificial nanozymes are apt to passivate in complex clinical samples (e.g., serum), which may damage the catalytic capability and consequently limit the application in biomedical analysis. To conquer this problem, in this study, we fabricated novel nanozyme@DNA hydrogel architecture by incorporat^ng nanozymes into a pure DNA hydrogel. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were adopted as a model nanozyme. Results indicate that AuNPs incorporated in the DNA hydrogel retain their catalytic capability in serum as they are protected by the hydrogel, whereas AuNPs alone totally lose the catalytic capability in serum. The detection of hydrogen peroxide and glucose in serum based on the catalysis of the AuNPs@DNA hydrogel was achieved. The detection limit of each reaches 1.7 and 38 ~M, respectively, which is equal to the value obtained using natural enzymes. Besides the mechanisms, some other advantages, such as recyclability and availability, have also been explored. This nanozyme@DNA hydrogel architecture may have a great potential for the utilization of nanozymes as well as the application of nanozymes for biomedical analysis in complex physiological samples.展开更多

The fate of the supporting tube could be tracked satisfactorily by X-ray, The tube-dislodge time was 15.03 +/- 2.23 days and unaffected by the size of supporting tube or the site of anastomosis, The supporting tube could be safely absorbed or partially discharged through the alimentary tract. IECL, with the merits of saving time, anastomosing tightly and leaving no suture materials in the anastomotic site, can be expected to further reduce the incidence of anastomotic leakage and provide references for other gastrointestinal anastomosis.展开更多
