- Ochratoxin A (OTA) and Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) are two highly toxic and naturally coexistence mycotoxins, which have posed a serious threat to food safety. The coexistence of these two mycotoxins can produce significant synergistic effects, so it is necessary to establish an effective analytical method. In this work, a dual biophotoelectrode based all-solid-state multiplexed self-powered aptasensor was realized for high-throughput analysis of OTA and AFB1. There was a large Fermi level difference between photoanode and photocathode, which ensured the light assisted self-driving of the system. Due to the regional immobilization of aptamers, it could save the dosage of recognition elements, reduce the preparation cost and simplify the operation procedure. Meanwhile, construction strategy of spatial separation could effectively eliminate the overlapping signals and cross interference between targets, achieving the results more accurate and the calculation more convenient. The constructed aptasensor realized OTA and AFB1 detection in corn samples with practicality, good stability, antiinterference ability and repeatability. Therefore, this work not only achieved the high-throughput analysis of mycotoxins, but also provided a new perspective for the construction of all-solid-state multiplexed self-powered sensor.

- Based on disappointing results of stem cell-based application in clinical trials for patients with critical limb ischemia, we hypothesized that the acidic environment might be the key factor limiting cell survival and function. In the present study, we used microdialysis to determine presence of acidosis and metabolic imbalance in critical ischemia. Moreover, we explored the effect of extracellular acidosis on adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) at molecular and transcriptional level. Our data demonstrate that low pH negatively regulates cell proliferation and survival, also, it results in cell cycle arrest, mitochondrial dynamics disorder, DNA damage as well as the impairment of proangiogenic function in a pH-dependent manner. Further transcriptome profiling identified the pivotal signaling pathways and hub genes in response to acidosis. Collectively, these findings provide strong evidences for a critical role of acidosis in ADSCs impairment with ischemic condition and suggest treatments focus on tissue pH balance and acidosis-mediated hub genes may have therapeutic potential in stem cell-based application.
