The future development of bacteria fighting medical devices: the role of graphene oxide.

The clinical challenge that research on antibacterial coatings faces nowadays is the need of reduction of resistant bacterial infections, major source of implant rejection and repeated surgery. In order to avoid microorganisms attachment and biofilm formation, coating materials on medical devices have been developed with shortcomings represented by short-term durability and induction of new mechanisms of bacterial resistance. Graphene-based films and hydrogel could represent the next generation protective coatings due to their excellent mechanical, chemical and thermal properties, high nanoparticle adsorption and antibacterial action. Areas covered: In this short commentary, we will report the recent developments of graphene oxide based coatings. Graphene oxide is a water-soluble derivative of graphene that allows high drug loading and miscibility with polymers, making it mouldable in any desired shape. Recent applications in wound healing and tissue engineering will be discussed as well as critical issues prior to clinical use of graphene oxide coatings. Expert commentary: The current evidence is insufficient to establish the efficacy of Graphene Oxide against bacteria and the durability of coatings. Further studies should clarify how to control Graphene Oxide antibacterial mechanism.

Tuning the electron-phonon interaction via exploring the interrelation between Urbach energy and fano-type asymmetric raman line shape in GO-hBN nanocomposites.

Hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), having an in-plane hexagonal structure in the sparrangement of atoms, proclaims structural similarity with graphene with only a small lattice mismatch. Despite having nearly identical atomic arrangements and exhibiting almost identical properties, the electronic structures of the two materials are fundamentally different. Considering the aforementioned condition, a new hybrid material with enhanced properties can be evolved by combining both materials. Read More

An electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer biosensor based on CDs/PAMAM/rGO nanocomposites and Au@AgS nanoparticles for PML/RARα fusion gene detection.

Authors:
Zi-Yang Zhang Mu-Tu Lin Yu Zhang Zhang-Jian Cheng Shu-Hua Han Ai-Lin Liu Yun Lei

Mikrochim Acta 2023 Sep 26;190(10):415. Epub 2023 Sep 26.

Department of Pharmaceutical Analysis, Higher Educational Key Laboratory for Nano Biomedical Technology of Fujian Province, Faculty of Pharmacy, Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, 350122, China.

In recent years, electrochemiluminescence resonance energy transfer (ECL-RET) with low background signal and high specificity has attracted much attention among researchers. Herein, we established a novel ECL-RET biosensor for PML/RARα fusion gene detection. In this ECL-RET system, carbon dots (CDs) with low toxicity and prominent electrochemical activity were used as donor and Au@AgS core-shell nanoparticles (Au@AgS NPs) were employed as ECL acceptor.

Zhuanxia Li Lianghao Yu Xin Tao Yun Li Linlin Zhang Xuedong He Yan Chen Sha Xiong Wei Hu Jun Li Jichang Wang Huile Jin Shun Wang

Small 2023 Sep 25:e2304124. Epub 2023 Sep 25.

Key Lab of Advanced Energy Storage and Conversion, Zhejiang Province Key Lab of Leather Engineering, College of Chemistry and Materials Engineering, Wenzhou University Wenzhou, Zhejiang, 325035, P. R. China.

Sodium-ion batteries are a promising substitute for lithium batteries due to the abundant resources and low cost of sodium. Herein, honeycomb-shaped MoSe /reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite materials are synthesized from graphene oxide (GO) and MoSe through a one-step solvothermal process. Experiments show that the 3D honeycomb structure provides excellent electrolyte penetration while alleviating the volume change during electrochemical cycling. Read More

Meng Li Shimeng Duan Haiou Chen Fangyuan Zou Genlin Zhang Qingju Liu Ruilin Zhang Xiaofeng Zeng Huiping Bai

Mikrochim Acta 2023 Sep 26;190(10):414. Epub 2023 Sep 26.

School of Material and Energy, Yunnan University, Kunming, 650091, China.

A novel electrochemical method has been developed, based on a covalent organic framework (COF) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), to detect fentanyl and alfentanil. COF nanomaterials with chrysanthemum morphology obtained by solvothermal reaction contain rich active sites for electrochemical catalytic reaction, thus improving the detection performance of the designed sensor. Reduced graphene oxide improves the sensor's sensitivity due to enhanced electron transfer. Read More

Centre-Ville, Montreal, QC, H3C 3P8, Canada. Electronic address:

The potential ecotoxicological hazard of gaphene oxide (GO) is not fully clarified for photoautotrophic organisms, especially when the interactions of GO with other environmental toxicants are considered. The objective of the current study was to better understand the mechanisms of toxicity of GO in the cyanobacteria Microcystis aeruginosa, and to identify its interactions with cadmium (Cd). The individual and combined contribution of both pollutants in cyanobacteria were evaluated after 96 hours of exposure to GO and/or Cd, using photosynthetic pigments, photosynthetic parameters, cellular indicators of peroxidative damage, viability, and intracellular ROS formation as indicators of toxicity.
