Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of analysis, and in particular relates to the preparation of a nano-silver carbon fiber microelectrode pretreated with sodium sulfide and its application in detecting hydrogen sulfide in biological samples such as a living brain nervous system. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen sulfide is widely present in organisms, participating in a variety of physiological and pathological processes and playing an important role. It is considered an important gaseous signaling molecule. The content of hydrogen sulfide is closely related to the body's homeostasis; abnormal hydrogen sulfide content (increase or decrease) is closely related to cardiovascular disease, endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, and neurological diseases. Therefore, real-time and accurate monitoring of hydrogen sulfide content in biological samples is of great significance. Common biological samples include cells (single cells, cell clusters), tissues (brain tissue, liver, kidney), living organisms (mice, rats, rabbits), body fluids (serum, blood, urine), and various microorganisms (bacteria, fungi). However, due to the complexity of the test samples, interference from sulfur-containing compounds, and the different forms of hydrogen sulfide under different physiological conditions, accurate detection in biological samples is difficult.

[0003] Silver nanoparticles combine with hydrogen sulfide to form a silver sulfide precipitate, which can induce a potential change to detect hydrogen sulfide. However, when applied to biological samples, this method is susceptible to interference from other sulfur-containing compounds and electroactive substances, necessitating improvements. The present invention improves the selectivity of silver nanoparticle-modified carbon fiber microelectrodes by pretreating the microelectrode surface with sodium sulfide, effectively avoiding interference from other substances and achieving specific detection of hydrogen sulfide. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

[0005] The present invention is accomplished based on the following knowledge and findings of the inventors:

[0006] Endogenous hydrogen sulfide in the human body is widely involved in the physiological and pathological processes of the body, such as protecting neurons and glial cells, inducing long-term potentials in the hippocampus, and is also related to Parkinson's disease, ischemic stroke and brain damage. Under physiological conditions (pH = 7.4), different forms of sulfide (S 2- , HS -, H2S, polysulfides, etc.) are easily converted and due to the chemical instability of hydrogen sulfide under physiological conditions, the accurate tracking and monitoring of trace hydrogen sulfide is a difficulty in current research. There are many methods to achieve hydrogen sulfide tracking detection, such as fluorescence, gas chromatography, colorimetry, etc., but these methods generally have problems such as complex procedures, complex preparations, and poor timeliness. Electrochemical detection has the advantages of being fast, sensitive, and able to achieve real-time detection in vivo. Silver nanoparticles combine with sodium sulfide to form silver sulfide precipitates to cause potential changes, which can achieve the purpose of detecting hydrogen sulfide. However, this method is easily interfered by other sulfur-containing compounds and electroactive substances.

[0007] Silver nanoparticle-modified carbon fiber microelectrodes react with hydrogen sulfide, and the combination of the two generates silver sulfide that is deposited on the electrode surface, causing a potential change. Detecting this potential change using the open-circuit potential method can reflect the concentration of hydrogen sulfide. However, when using this method to detect hydrogen sulfide in the body, it is subject to interference from other substances in the human body environment, such as other sulfur-containing compounds and electroactive substances. Therefore, the inventors cleverly designed a method for pretreating silver nanoparticle-modified carbon fiber microelectrodes with sodium sulfide, achieving the purpose of selective detection of hydrogen sulfide in vivo. After pretreatment, sodium sulfide combines with silver nanoparticles to form a silver sulfide film that adheres to the electrode surface. The presence of this film can, on the one hand, hinder other neuroactive substances (represented by ascorbic acid) from reaching the interior of the electrode to react. On the other hand, the binding force of other sulfur-containing compounds (represented by L-cysteine) on the treated surface with silver nanoparticles is much weaker than that of hydrogen sulfide. Based on these two aspects, selective detection of hydrogen sulfide is achieved.

[0008] In a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for preparing a carbon fiber microelectrode modified with silver nanoparticles pretreated with sodium sulfide.

[0011] 2) The carbon fiber microelectrode modified with silver nanoparticles is placed in a sodium sulfide solution for pretreatment to form a silver sulfide film on its surface.

[0012] The silver sulfide film can regulate the surface morphology of the microelectrode, thereby avoiding interference from other substances. Hydrogen sulfide and silver nanoparticles combine to form silver sulfide, which is deposited on the surface of the carbon fiber microelectrode, causing the electrode surface potential to change, thereby achieving the purpose of highly selective detection of hydrogen sulfide in vivo.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the carbon fiber microelectrode needs to be electrochemically activated before use, specifically as follows: first apply a +1.5V potential for 80s, then polarize at 0.1V s -1 Cyclic voltammograms were scanned in the potential range of 0.0-1.0 V at a scan rate of 1.50 nm until a stable cyclic voltammogram was obtained.

[0020] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the carbon fiber microelectrode needs to be cleaned as follows before electrochemical activation: the microelectrode is ultrasonicated in acetone, 3.0 mol / L HNO3 and 1.0 mol / L KOH solution for 2 minutes in sequence.

[0021] The carbon fiber microelectrode prepared by the above method also falls within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] In a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides the use of the sodium sulfide pretreated carbon fiber microelectrode.

[0023] The application of the sodium sulfide pretreated carbon fiber microelectrode provided by the present invention is the application in the following 1) or 2):

[0024] 1) Application in the preparation of products for in vitro and / or in vivo detection of hydrogen sulfide;

[0025] 2) Application in in vitro and / or in vivo detection of hydrogen sulfide.

[0031] The sodium sulfide pretreated carbon fiber microelectrode is inserted into the sample to be tested as a working electrode, and the open circuit potential method is used for detection. According to the obtained electrical signal response value (such as electrode voltage), it is determined whether the sample to be tested contains hydrogen sulfide.

[0032] If the electrical signal response value can be measured, it means that hydrogen sulfide exists in the sample to be tested, otherwise it does not contain hydrogen sulfide.

[0033] The sample to be tested is artificial cerebrospinal fluid containing or not containing hydrogen sulfide, or the central nervous system of a living body (such as cerebrospinal fluid of a living body), wherein the living body includes a human body and an animal with a central nervous system.

[0034] The open circuit potential method can be implemented in a two-electrode system or a three-electrode system; in the two-electrode system, the working electrode is a sodium sulfide pretreated carbon fiber microelectrode, and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode; in the three-electrode system, the working electrode is a sodium sulfide pretreated carbon fiber microelectrode, the counter electrode is a Pt electrode, and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode or a saturated calomel electrode.

[0040] 2) replacing the artificial cerebrospinal fluid containing different concentrations of hydrogen sulfide with the test sample, and measuring using the same method as step 1) to obtain the electrical signal response value of the test sample and substitute it into the standard curve to calculate the concentration of hydrogen sulfide in the test sample.

[0041] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0049] The present invention is further described below with reference to specific examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples. The methods described are conventional methods unless otherwise specified. The raw materials described can be obtained from public commercial channels unless otherwise specified.

[0050] In the first aspect of the present invention, a method for pretreating a carbon fiber microelectrode with sodium sulfide is proposed. Before conducting an in vivo analysis, the in vitro performance test of the electrode is performed in advance. Figure 1 , the method comprising:

[0051] S100: Silver nanoparticles deposited on the surface of carbon fiber microelectrodes

[0052] The carbon fiber microelectrode was placed in a mixed electrolyte containing 1 mmol / L KNO3 and 0.25 mmol / L AgNO3, and silver nanoparticles were modified on the surface of the carbon fiber microelectrode by electrodeposition. The electrodeposition used a constant potential deposition method with a condition of -0.2 V and a deposition time of 200 s.

[0053] The electrodeposition can be achieved in a two-electrode system or a three-electrode system. In the two-electrode system, the working electrode is the carbon fiber microelectrode and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode. In the three-electrode system, the working electrode is the carbon fiber microelectrode, the counter electrode is a Pt electrode, and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode or a saturated calomel electrode.

[0054] S200: Pre-treat the electrode in a solution containing sodium sulfide

[0055] In this step, the silver nanoparticle-modified carbon fiber microelectrode was placed in a solution containing 5 μM sodium sulfide and treated by open circuit potential method for 5 minutes to obtain a sodium sulfide pretreated carbon fiber microelectrode.

[0056] The above-mentioned pretreatment process can be implemented in a two-electrode system or a three-electrode system. In the two-electrode system, the working electrode is the silver nanoparticle-modified carbon fiber microelectrode, and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode. In the three-electrode system, the working electrode is the silver nanoparticle-modified carbon fiber microelectrode, the counter electrode is a Pt electrode, and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode or a saturated calomel electrode.

[0057] S300: Plotting concentration curves

[0058] The analyte (Na2S) is added to artificial cerebrospinal fluid and tested using open circuit potential. As the concentration of the analyte is gradually increased, a gradient change in the potential curve can be observed. After each addition of the analyte to the artificial cerebrospinal fluid, the corresponding working electrode electrical signal (electrode voltage) is measured using open circuit potential. This provides electrode information that corresponds specifically to the analyte concentration, thereby generating a standard curve.

[0059] The above-mentioned open circuit potential method can be implemented in a two-electrode system or a three-electrode system. In the two-electrode system, the working electrode is the sodium sulfide pretreated carbon fiber microelectrode, and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode. In the three-electrode system, the working electrode is the sodium sulfide pretreated carbon fiber microelectrode, the counter electrode is a Pt electrode, and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode or a saturated calomel electrode.

[0060] When using the open-circuit potential method, no voltage is applied to the working electrode; instead, the potential difference between the working and reference electrodes is measured directly. Once the background voltage stabilizes, a fixed amount of analyte is added to the artificial cerebrospinal fluid, and the electrode voltage is measured simultaneously to obtain the initial analyte concentration and the corresponding electrode voltage. Subsequently, a fixed amount of analyte is added to the artificial cerebrospinal fluid multiple times, causing a gradient of analyte concentration. The electrode voltage is measured with each change in analyte concentration.

[0061] In a second aspect of the present invention, the present invention proposes the use of the aforementioned electrode for detecting hydrogen sulfide in a living brain.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] Carbon fiber microelectrodes were used as detection electrodes.

[0064] Preparation of the carbon fiber electrode: First, a glass capillary (outer diameter: 1.5 mm; inner diameter: 0.89 mm; length: 10 cm) was drawn into two tapered capillaries with very fine tips using a microelectrode puller (WD-1, Chengdu Instrument Factory). Under a microscope, the tips were gently cut with a glass cutter, leaving the inner diameter of the end at approximately 30-50 μm. A carbon fiber approximately 2 cm long was then bonded to a copper wire using silver conductive adhesive. This was then threaded into the drawn capillary, leaving approximately 200-500 μm of carbon fiber exposed at the capillary tip. Both ends of the capillary were sealed with insulating adhesive to secure the copper wire and capillary together. Under a microscope, the portion of the carbon fiber protruding from the capillary was cut with a knife to 200-500 μm. This completed the carbon fiber microelectrode.

[0065] The prepared microelectrode was ultrasonicated in acetone, 3.0 mol / L HNO3 and 1.0 mol / L KOH solution for 2 min. Then, it was electrochemically activated in 1 mol / L sodium hydroxide solution: first, a potential of +1.5 V was applied for 80 s, then a potential of 0.1 V was applied for 80 s. -1 Cyclic voltammograms were scanned in the potential range of 0.0-1.0 V at a scan rate of 1.50 nm until a stable cyclic voltammogram was obtained.

[0066] Preparation of silver nanoparticle-modified carbon fiber microelectrodes: First, a mixed electrolyte of 1 mmol / L KNO3 and 0.25 mmol / L AgNO3 was prepared. The CFE was placed in a beaker and a three-electrode system was formed with a platinum wire as the counter electrode and an Ag / AgCl electrode as the reference electrode. A constant potential deposition method was used to apply a voltage of -0.2 V to the carbon fiber microelectrode for 200 s to deposit a layer of silver nanoparticles on its surface to obtain silver nanoparticle-modified carbon fiber electrodes (AgNPs-CFEs).

[0067] The above-mentioned electrodeposition can also be achieved in a two-electrode system. In the two-electrode system, the working electrode is a carbon fiber microelectrode electrode and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode.

[0068] Sodium sulfide pretreatment of silver nanoparticle modified carbon fiber electrode: AgNPs-CFEs were placed in a solution containing 5μM sodium sulfide (Na2S) and reacted for 5 minutes under open circuit potential method until the potential reached equilibrium and a layer of silver sulfide film was formed on the surface of silver nanocarbon fiber electrode. The silver nanocarbon fiber electrode pretreated with Na2S was obtained. The response to the substance was as follows: Figure 2 .Depend on Figure 2 As can be seen, after Na2S pretreatment, the electrode showed no potential response to AA and Cys, but 20μM Na2S caused a potential change of approximately 45.5mV. This validates the effect of Na2S pretreatment on microelectrode response, preventing interference from sulfur-containing proteins and other electroactive substances, thereby achieving selective detection of hydrogen sulfide.

[0069] The morphology of the microelectrodes treated with Na2S was characterized by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Figure 3 As shown in Figures AD, C, Ag, and S elements are evenly distributed on the microelectrode. The results show that the AgNPs coating is evenly covered on the microelectrode surface and the pretreatment is uniform, which is the key to forming a selective interface. To further verify the elemental composition and oxidation state of Na2S pretreatment, we performed X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to characterize the electrochemical products and measured the Ag3d and S2p XPS spectra of the samples ( Figure 3E, F). The Ag3d spectrum consists of two peaks (373.80 and 367.83 eV), corresponding to the spin-orbit splitting 3d5 / 2 and 3d3 / 2, respectively. The peak at 373.80 eV represents the fitting results of Ag03d 3 / 2 and Ag+3d 3 / 2, respectively. The peak at 367.83 eV represents the fitting results of Ag03d 5 / 2 and Ag+3d 5 / 2, respectively, proving that AgNPs partially react to generate Ag+. The S2p spectrum shows two peaks at 162.25 and 161.70 eV, respectively, which are attributed to S 2- From the XPS spectra of Ag3d and S2p, it can be seen that the partially oxidized AgNPs and S 2- Combined, a layer of Ag2S film is formed and attached to the surface of the microelectrode.

[0070] The open circuit potential method can be implemented in a two-electrode system or a three-electrode system. In the two-electrode system, the working electrode is AgNPs-CFEs and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode. In the three-electrode system, the working electrode is AgNPs-CFEs, the counter electrode is a Pt electrode, and the reference electrode is an Ag / AgCl electrode or a saturated calomel electrode.

[0071] Response curve of the silver nanoparticle-modified carbon fiber electrode pretreated with sodium sulfide to hydrogen sulfide: The analyte was added to the artificial cerebrospinal fluid (NaCl (126mM), KCl (2.4mM), KH2PO4 (0.5mM), MgCl2 (0.85mM), NaHCO3 (27.5mM), Na2SO4 (0.5mM), CaCl2 (1.1mM))) and detected by the open circuit potential method. When the open circuit potential method is used for measurement, no voltage is applied to the working electrode, but the potential difference between the working electrode and the reference electrode is directly measured. After the background voltage stabilizes, a certain amount of the analyte is added to the artificial cerebrospinal fluid, and the electrode voltage at this time is measured to obtain the first analyte concentration and the corresponding electrode voltage; subsequently, a fixed amount of the analyte is added to the artificial cerebrospinal fluid multiple times, so that the concentration of the analyte changes in a gradient, and the electrode voltage is measured each time the analyte concentration changes ( Figure 4 By gradually increasing the concentration of hydrogen sulfide, it can be observed that the potential curve changes with the concentration, thus obtaining the concentration curve ( Figure 4 The concentrations of hydrogen sulfide used were 2.5 μM, 10 μM, 20 μM, 40 μM, 80 μM, 120 μM, and 150 μM, respectively, and the standard curve of hydrogen sulfide obtained was V (mV) = -67.99C H2S (μM)–347.4(mV),R 2 =0.9942, and the detection range was 2.5–150 μM.

[0074] Microelectrodes were implanted into the hippocampus of anesthetized rats. We injected S 2- 100 μM artificial cerebrospinal fluid, such as Figure 5 As shown by the blue star, a potential drop can be observed after 300s. 2+ Artificial cerebrospinal fluid ( Figure 5 Black star), the potential almost returned to the initial baseline, proving that hydrogen sulfide can be detected by the electrode through the body fluid circulation and Cu 2+ The above results indicate that microelectrodes can track the changes of hydrogen sulfide in vivo and the physiological and pathological processes related to hydrogen sulfide.
