Figure 2 As shown in b, the Raman spectrum is at 1357 cm⁻¹. -1 (D belt), 1590 cm -1 (G-band) and 2804 cm -1 Characteristic peaks were observed at the (2D band), confirming that laser etching achieved complete carbonization and graphitization of polyimide, resulting in materials with excellent conductivity and chemical stability. Secondly, polyaniline (PANI) was successfully polymerized on the LIG electrode surface using cyclic voltammetry. Raman spectra were observed at 1167 cm⁻¹. -1(C-H bending vibration) and 1499 cm -1 (C=N stretching vibration). Figure 2 The SEM of c shows that a dense and continuous PANI coating layer is formed, which ensures efficient proton conduction and ion transmission path. Figure 2 d shows that the ion-selective membrane (ISM) is uniformly modified on the LIG porous structure by vacuum-assisted deposition technology, forming a deep penetration interface configuration. The MRMS carbon electrode patterns obtained in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 are not complete, and the conductivity is poor, and the subsequent ion detection results are not ideal, and there is a phenomenon of mutual interference of ions.

Figure 3 a, 3b). The carbon electrode modified by PANI also shows high sensitivity and good linear response to pH changes. In the Ca 2+ detection aspect, the Ca 2+ electrode in MRMS shows excellent performance, with a sensitivity of 30.1 mV / dec and a linear correlation coefficient of 0.999 (R2). Figure 3 c, 3d), which is close to the theoretical limit, indicating that the electrode has excellent detection performance. For K + detection, the K + electrode in MRMS shows excellent performance, with a sensitivity of 52.6 mV / dec and a linear correlation coefficient of 0.999 (R2). Figure 3 e, 3f), showing good linear response ability in the K + detection range. In the Na + detection aspect, the Na + electrode in MRMS has a sensitivity of 58.7 mV / dec and a linear correlation coefficient of 0.999 (R2). Figure 3 g, 3h), indicating that it has excellent performance in Na + concentration change detection, providing a potential reliable tool for accurate measurement of sodium ions in extracellular fluid.

[0070] (3) Test results of electrode selectivity in MRMS As shown in Figure 4 a, in the HEPES buffer solution with pH 7.4, 150 mM Na + , 10 mM K + , 2 mM Ca 2+ and 2 mM Mg 2+Experimental results show that even in the presence of high concentrations of interfering ions, the potential response of the pH electrode in MRMS remains essentially unchanged, with a significant potential increase only occurring when the solution pH changes. This indicates that the electrode possesses excellent anti-interference capabilities and is suitable for pH detection in complex extracellular environments. In Ca... 2+ In electrode testing, 150 mM Na was added. + Although it causes a reverse fluctuation in potential, its amplitude is significantly lower than that of physiological concentrations of Ca. 2+ The resulting potential change; and K + With Mg 2+ The introduction of this did not lead to significant potential fluctuations. Figure 4 b), indicating that Ca 2+ The electrode exhibits excellent anti-interference performance, enabling the control of Ca in an extracellular fluid environment. 2+ Effective detection. Similarly, K in MRMS + electrode( Figure 4 c) with Na + electrode( Figure 4 d) No significant potential changes were observed in the presence of multiple interfering ions, indicating that both exhibit good ion selectivity and can effectively eliminate interference from common ions in extracellular fluid.

[0071] (4) Results of electrode reversibility test in MRMS like Figure 5 As shown in Figure a, during the continuous change of solution pH from alkaline (7.41) to acidic (5.59) and then back to alkaline (7.56), the pH electrode exhibited excellent reversibility, indicating that it could stably output a signal corresponding to pH changes in an alternating acid-base environment without significant hysteresis or irreversible response deviation. In Ca... 2+ In electrode testing, the sensor measures Ca 2+ The response signals were highly consistent, and no significant signal drift or attenuation was observed during the test. Figure 5 b), indicating its effect on Ca 2+ The detection exhibits good repeatability and accuracy. + The electrode experiences K + After cyclic changes in concentration, the deviation between the initial and final potential values ​​was only about 1.4 mV. Figure 5 c), exhibiting excellent reversibility, ensures that the sensor can maintain K during continuous monitoring. + Accurate and reliable measurement of Na. + After continuous testing, the electrode's potential value deviated from its initial state by only 0.3 mV. Figure 5 d) indicates that the electrode possesses rapid recovery capability and high stability, and can maintain its resistance to Na during continuous monitoring. + Accurate detection.

[0072] (5) Results of electrode water layer test and potential drift test in MRMS To evaluate the resistance to water layer effect and long-term stability of each electrode in MRMS, water layer effect testing and potential drift monitoring were conducted. Figure 5 e–5h shows the pH and Ca in MRMS. 2+ K + with Na + Results of the water layer effect test on the electrodes. Experiments show that each electrode can rapidly respond and recover to its initial potential value during solution replacement, indicating that the PANI layer densely deposited on the carbon electrode surface by cyclic voltammetry effectively blocks the interference of the water layer on electrode performance; simultaneously, the vacuum treatment process also achieves Ca… 2+ K + with Na + The tight bonding between the ion-selective membrane (ISM) and the carbon substrate effectively inhibits the formation of water layers.

[0073] like Figure 5 As shown in i–5l, during a long-term monitoring period of 24 hours, the potential drift rates of each electrode in the MRMS were as follows: pH electrode 0.15 mV / h, Ca 2+ Electrode 0.25 mV / h, K + Electrode 0.33 mV / h, Na + The electrode voltage is 0.41 mV / h. These data indicate that MRMS exhibits high signal stability during long-term operation, making it suitable for practical applications requiring continuous and reliable monitoring.

[0074] (6) Performance test results of MRMS after ECM modification To verify whether the sensor's detection performance was maintained after ECM modification, a system test was conducted on the sensor that had been incubated with ECM for 2 hours. Figure 6 As shown in a–6h, all ion-selective electrodes maintained excellent detection performance after modification: the pH electrode sensitivity was 57.3 mV / pH (R0). 2 = 0.999), Ca 2+ The electrode sensitivity is 28.9 mV / dec (R 2 = 0.998), K + The electrode sensitivity is 51.2 mV / dec (R 2 = 0.999), Na + The electrode sensitivity is 54.5 mV / dec (R 2 = 0.999).

[0075] The above results indicate that ECM surface modification improves the biocompatibility of MRMS without sacrificing its core detection performance. Each electrode still possesses high sensitivity and excellent linear response characteristics, providing a reliable guarantee for accurate ion concentration detection in the cell culture environment.

[0076] (7) Results of dynamic ion monitoring during alcohol injury and fucoxanthin treatment in the HepG2 cell model like Figure 7 As shown in Figure a, alcohol-induced damage significantly decreased extracellular pH, indicating increased cellular acid excretion; however, after sample intervention, the decrease in extracellular pH was significantly reduced, indicating that the treatment effectively alleviated the acid load induced by alcohol. Quantitative analysis showed ( Figure 7 (b) The pH change in the Ethanol group within 1 hour was approximately -0.11, about 1.89 times that of the Control group; while the pH change in sample intervention group 3 was only about -0.07, close to the level of the Control group (approximately -0.01). Enzyme activity assay results showed ( Figure 7 c), Gal-FX-SEVs can... + -K + -ATPase activity was increased to 0.064 U / mgprot, significantly restoring its function. These results indicate that FX and its derivatives can alleviate oxidative stress and increase H2O levels. + -K + -ATPase activity effectively maintains extracellular pH homeostasis.

[0077] To verify the reliability of extracellular pH changes measured by MRMS, intracellular pH was further detected using the BCECF AM fluorescent probe. Figure 7 As shown in d, the intensity of green fluorescence in the cells of the Ethanol group decreased, indicating a decrease in intracellular pH; while the fluorescence intensity of all intervention groups rebounded, with the relative fluorescence intensity of intervention group 3 recovering to 43.74%, which was 2.85 times that of the Ethanol group and closest to the level of the Control group. Figure 7 e). This result is consistent with the trend of extracellular pH changes detected by MRMS, jointly demonstrating that alcohol can cause simultaneous acidification inside and outside the cell, and that Gal-FX-SEVs can effectively alleviate this acid-base imbalance, while also verifying the accuracy of MRMS in the detection of the extracellular environment.

[0078] Mitochondrial function and Ca 2+ Closely related to steady state, its decrease in membrane potential will weaken Ca 2+ Buffer capacity leads to cytoplasmic calcium 2 + The concentration increased. To investigate the effect of alcohol on Ca... 2+ The effect of homeostasis, using MRMS to monitor extracellular Ca 2+Concentration changes. For example... Figure 7 As shown in f-7g, extracellular Ca in the Ethanol group 2+ The concentration decreased by 0.10 mM, which was greater than that in the control group (0.04 mM), suggesting the possible presence of Ca. 2+ Influx or intracellular release; while after Gal-FX-SEVs intervention, Ca 2+ The concentration decreased by only 0.05 mM. Further analysis of Ca... 2+ / Mg 2+ -ATPase activity was found to be 85.7% lower in the Ethanol group compared to the Control group, while FX, FX-SEVs, and Gal-FX-SEVs mitigated the decrease to 65.9%, 33.1%, and 26.7%, respectively. Figure 7 h), indicating that Gal-FX-SEVs can significantly maintain Ca. 2+ Steady state, reducing alcohol-induced calcium 2+ overload.

[0079] To eliminate measurement interference and verify Ca 2+ Changes were observed using the Fluo-4 probe to detect intracellular Ca2+. 2+ Fluorescence imaging. For example... Figure 7 As shown in i, intracellular fluorescence was significantly enhanced after ethanol treatment, indicating that Ca 2+ The concentration increased; however, the fluorescence gradually decreased in each intervention group as the drug performance improved, with the fluorescence intensity of the Gal-FX-SEVs group being only 1.67 times that of the Control group. Figure 8 (j) indicates that it has good calcium homeostasis restoration ability. This result is consistent with the MRMS detection results, further confirming that MRMS can still accurately capture ion dynamics in complex cellular environments.

[0080] extracellular K + with Na + The concentration dynamics of ions are a key indicator for assessing cell function and damage status. To investigate the effect of alcohol on hepatocyte ion homeostasis, MRMS was used to measure extracellular potassium (K+). + with Na + The concentration was monitored in real time.

[0081] In K + In terms of testing, such as Figure 8 As shown in a, alcohol stimulation can induce significant K... + Outflow, leading to extracellular K + The concentration increased; however, after sample intervention, this efflux phenomenon was effectively alleviated, indicating that the above-mentioned substances help maintain cell membrane stability and ion balance. Quantitative analysis showed ( Figure 8 b) Within 1 hour, extracellular K+ in the Ethanol group +The concentration increased by 0.3 ± 0.059 mM, which was 2.6 times the change in the control group. Each intervention group recovered K... + The gradient effect was observed in terms of homeostasis, further validating the effectiveness of MRMS in monitoring extracellular K+. + It exhibits good accuracy and reliability in dynamic aspects.

[0082] In Na + In terms of testing, Figure 8 The results showed that alcohol stimulation could cause extracellular Na+. + The decrease in concentration suggests that Na + Inflow or Na + / K + The pump function was impaired. With the intervention of samples (especially sample 3), Na... + The downward trend has been significantly curbed. Quantitative data show that ( Figure 8 d), Sample intervention in 3 groups of extracellular Na + The concentration was only 0.85 mM lower than that of the control group, demonstrating the best ability to maintain ion stability.

[0083] To verify the above Na + The reliability of the changing trend was further tested by examining Na. + / K + -ATPase activity. For example... Figure 9 As shown in Figure e, enzyme activity in the Ethanol group decreased to 0.42 U / mgprot, while Gal-FX-SEV intervention significantly increased its activity to 0.88 U / mgprot, closest to the control group level. This change in enzyme activity reflects the "extracellular Na+" level. + Accumulation and K + The "loss" trend is consistent with the extracellular Na+ observed by MRMS. + Decline and K + The elevated results have clear physiological consistency, thus mutually confirming the role of MRMS in the complex cellular environment of Na+. + K + The ability to accurately monitor ion dynamics.

[0084] (8) Sensor performance test results after cell experiments To verify the reliability of the multichannel sensor after cell experiments, the sensor underwent systematic cleaning and performance retesting. First, cells were digested with trypsin, and then the sensor surface was thoroughly cleaned sequentially with PBS, ethanol, and deionized water to remove biological residues.

[0085] The test results of each ion-selective electrode after cleaning are as follows: ​ As shown in ah, its sensitivity and linear response are as follows: pH electrode 53.9 mV / pH (R2 = 0.999), Ca 2+ Electrode 26.2 mV / dec (R 2 = 0.998), K + Electrode 49.4 mV / dec (R 2 = 0.999), Na + Electrode 53.6 mV / pH (R 2 = 0.999).

[0086] The experimental results show that the sensor still maintains high sensitivity and excellent linearity close to the initial level after experiencing cell culture and detection in each channel, which fully verifies the reliability of the test results in complex biological environment, and also shows good reusable potential.

[0087] The above results prove that: the multi-ion real-time monitoring system (MRMS) constructed by the application still maintains high sensitivity and excellent linear response close to the initial state in each ion channel after experiencing complex cell environment detection and strict cleaning process, which shows that the system has excellent stability and reusable capacity, and can realize long-term, accurate and reliable monitoring of various ions (H⁺, Ca 2+ , K + , Na + ) in the extracellular environment, and is suitable for biomedical research fields such as cell metabolism analysis, drug evaluation and toxicity detection.
