A further opportunity for solving this problem is Cu micro-alloying, which was inspired by adding Cu for biomedical applications. Herein, a Ti-6Al-4V alloy with slight Cu addition (TC4-Cu) was exposed to 2216E media inoculated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. A.), and then investigated compared to TC4. TC4-Cu exhibits lower corrosion current, more denser passive film, and lower weight loss with weaker pitting (a maximum pitting depth of 0.2 μm), compared to TC4 with a maximum pitting crater depth of 9.6 μm. Those demonstrated that the presence of Cu significantly improved the MIC resistance, and inhibited the proliferation of P. A., leading to a good antimicrobial efficacy against marine P. A.

Here, a novel label-free electrochemical biosensor with synergistic signal amplification of photocell energy transfer-reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (PET-RAFT) and ring-opening polymerization (ROP) was developed for the first time for sensitive detection of KRAS G12C mutations. Specifically, hairpin DNA (hDNA), which act as biomolecular probe, was self-assembled on Au electrode surface by Au-S bond. 4-cyano-4-[(dodecylsulfanylthiocarbonyl) sulfanyl] pentanoic acid (CDTPA), the chain transfer agent of PET-RAFT reaction, was then attached to hDNA via amide bond. After that, the target DNA (tDNA) was captured on the electrode surface by complementary base pairing with hDNA. Subsequently, large numbers of electro-active monomers N-acryloxysuccinimide (NAS) were successfully grafted to the electrode surface via PET-RAFT reaction, which provided plenty of junction sites for doxorubicin-polycaprolactone (Dox-PCL) synthesized by ROP. Finally, the Dox-PCL was connected to the electrode surface by ester bond, significantly amplifying the electrochemical signal.
