    Abstract Early detection and viral concentration monitoring of human immunodeficiency virus in resource-poor settings are important to control disease spread and reduce mortality. Nucleic acid amplification tests are expensive for low-resource settings. Lateral flow antibody tests are not sensitive if testing is performed within 7-10 days, and these tests are not quantitative. We describe a signal enhancement technique based on fluorescent silica nanoparticles and bioorthogonal chemistries for the femtomolar detection of the HIV-1 p24 antigen. We developed a magnetic bead-based assay, wherein we used fluorescent-dye-encapsulated silica nanoparticles as reporters. The number of reporters was increased by using bioorthogonal chemistry to provide signal enhancement. The limit and range of detection of the sandwich immunoassay using alternating multiple layers for p24 in human serum were found to be 46 fg/mL (1.84 fM) and 46 fg/mL to 10 ng/mL, respectively. This simple assay was 217-fold higher in sensitivity compared to that of commercial enzyme-linked immunoassays (limit of detection of 10 pg/mL).

    Abstract Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized as chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract, which includes two main subtypes, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Endoscopy combined with biopsy is the most effective way to establish IBD diagnosis and disease management. Imaging techniques have also been developed to monitor IBD. Although effective, the methods are expensive and invasive, which leads to pain and discomfort. Alternative noninvasive biomarkers are being explored as tools for IBD prognosis and disease management. This review focuses on novel biomarkers that have emerged in recent years. These serological biomarkers and microRNAs could potentially be used for disease management in IBD, thereby decreasing patient discomfort and morbidity.

    Abstract Strict adherence to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) is very important to improve the quality of life for HIV-positive patients to reduce new infections and determine treatment success. Azidothymidine (AZT) is an antiretroviral drug commonly used in HAART treatment. In this research, an “add, mix, and measure” assay was developed to detect AZT within minutes. Three different probes designed to release fluorophores when samples containing AZT are added were synthesized and characterized. The limit of detection to AZT in simulated urine samples was determined to be 4 μM in 5 min for one of the probes. This simple and rapid point-of-care test could potentially be used by clinicians and health care workers to monitor the presence of AZT in low resource settings.

    Abstract Globally, liver cancer is the most frequent fatal malignancy; in the United States, it ranks fifth. Patients are often diagnosed with liver cancer in advanced stages, contributing to its poor prognosis. Of all liver cancer cases, >90% are hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) for which chemotherapy and immunotherapy are the best options for therapy. For liver cancer patients, new treatment options are necessary. Use of natural compounds and/or nanotechnology may provide patients with better outcomes with lower systemic toxicity and fewer side effects. Improved treatments can lead to better prognoses. Finally, in this review, we present some of the problems and current treatment options contributing to the poor outcomes for patients with liver cancer.

    Abstract A facile and green S-glycosylation method has been developed featuring protecting-group-free and proceeding-in-water like enzymatic synthesis. Glycosylation of fluoride donors with thiol sugar acceptors using Ca(OH)₂ as a promoter afforded various thioglycosides in good yields with exclusive stereoselectivity. This method also enabled the successful production of S-linked oligosaccharides and S-linked glycopeptides.

    Abstract O-GalNAc glycans (or mucin O-glycans) play pivotal roles in diverse biological and pathological processes, including tumor growth and progression. Structurally defined O-GalNAc glycans are essential for functional studies but synthetic challenges and their inherent structural diversity and complexity have limited access to these compounds. Herein, we report an efficient and robust chemoenzymatic modular assembly (CEMA) strategy to construct structurally diverse O-GalNAc glycans. The key to this strategy is the convergent assembly of O-GalNAc cores 1-4 and 6 from three chemical building blocks, followed by enzymatic diversification of the cores by 13 well-tailored enzyme modules. A total of 83 O-GalNAc glycans presenting various natural glycan epitopes are obtained and used to generate a unique synthetic mucin O-glycan microarray. Binding specificities of glycan-binding proteins (GBPs) including plant lectins and selected anti-glycan antibodies towards these O-GalNAc glycans are revealed by this microarray, promoting their applicability in functional O-glycomics. Serum samples from colorectal cancer patients and healthy controls are assayed using the array reveal higher bindings towards less common cores 3, 4, and 6 than abundant cores 1 and 2, providing insights into O-GalNAc glycan structure-activity relationships.

    Abstract Here, we have developed a mild and general method for the regioselective installation of benzyl, allyl, para-methoxybenzyl and naphthyl groups on cis-1,2-diols. The optimized method operates at room temperature using dimethyltin dichloride as catalyst and silver oxide as an additive. The present method works well with both sugars (such as mono- and disaccharides) and nonsugars (such as inositols, propan-1,2-diol, 1,2-cycloalkanediols and anhydroerythritol) and also provides comparatively better functional group compatibility.
