    Abstract In SERS analysis, the specificity of molecular fingerprints is combined with potential single-molecule sensitivity so that is an attractive tool to detect molecules in trace amounts. Although several substrates have been widely used from early on, there are still some problems such as the difficulties to bind some molecules to the substrate. With the development of nanotechnology, an increasing interest has been focused on plasmonic metal nanoparticles hybridized with (2D) nanomaterials due to their unique properties. More frequently, the excellent properties of the hybrids compounds have been used to improve the drawbacks of the SERS platforms in order to create a system with outstanding properties. In this review, the physics and working principles of SERS will be provided along with the properties of differently shaped metal nanoparticles. After that, an overview on how the hybrid compounds can be engineered to obtain the SERS platform with unique properties will be given.

    Abstract Aiming to develop a nanoparticle-based optical biosensor using gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) synthesized using green methods and supported by carbon-based nanomaterials, we studied the role of carbon derivatives in promoting AuNPs localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR), as well as their morphology, dispersion, and stability. Carbon derivatives are expected to work as immobilization platforms for AuNPs, improving their analytical performance. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) were prepared using an eco-friendly approach in a single step by reduction of HAuCl

    Abstract Purpose: Adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is a rare and aggressive tumor. ACC male patients under adjuvant mitotane therapy (AMT) frequently develop hypogonadism, however sexual function has never been assessed in this setting. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate in AMT treated ACC patients the changes in Luteinizing hormone (LH), Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), total testosterone (TT) and calculated free testosterone (cFT), the prevalence and type of hypogonadism and sexual function, the latter before and after androgen replacement therapy (ART).
    Methods: LH, SHBG, TT and cFT were assessed in ten ACC patients at baseline (T0) and six (T1), twelve (T2), and eighteen (T3) months after AMT. At T3, ART was initiated in eight hypogonadal patients, and LH, SHBG, TT and cFT levels were evaluated after six months (T4). In six patients, sexual function was evaluated before (T3) and after (T4) ART using the International Index of Erectile Function-15 (IIEF-15) questionnaire.
    Results: Under AMT we observed higher SHBG and LH and lower cFT levels at T1-T3 compared to T0 (all p<0.05). At T3, hypergonadotropic hypogonadism and erectile dysfunction (ED) were detected in 80% and 83.3% of cases. At T4, we observed a significant cFT increase in men treated with T gel, and a significant improvement in IIEF-15 total and subdomains scores and ED prevalence (16.7%) in men under ART.
    Conclusion: AMT was associated with hypergonatropic hypogonadism and ED, while ART led to a significant improvement of cFT levels and sexual function in the hypogonadal ACC patients. Therefore, we suggest to evaluate LH, SHBG, TT and cFT and sexual function during AMT, and start ART in the hypogonadal ACC patients with sexual dysfunction.
