Molybdenum (Mo) ions enter to human body from the diet or drinking waters and have a potentially toxic effect on humans. The thiol-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (HS-MSNPs) were used for determination and speciation of Mo (II, VI) in human biological samples by dispersive ionic liquid-micro-solid phase extraction (DIL-μ-SPE) coupled to electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ET-AAS). Firstly, the mixture of HS-MSNPs (15 mg), the hydrophobic ionic liquid (1-Hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tris(pentafluoroethyl) trifluorophosphate; [HMIM][T(PFE)PF3]) and acetone injected into 10 mL of human blood and serum samples. After shaking for 5 min, the Mo(II) and Mo(VI) ions were extracted with the thiol group of MSNPs at pH 6 and 2, respectively, and collected through IL at the bottom of the conical tube by centrifuging. Then, the MO(II,VI) ions were back-extracted from HS-MSNPs with elent based on changing pH, and remained solutions were determined by ET-AAS after dilution with DW up to 0.5 mL, separately.

To understand the factors that control the formation of the biomolecular corona, a systematic study of the adsorption of several miRNAs shown to be important in prostate cancer on amine-functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN-NH2) has been performed. Process parameters including miRNA type, nanoparticle concentration, incubation temperature and incubation time were investigated, as well as the potential competition for adsorption between different miRNA molecules. The influence of proteins and particle PEGylation on miRNA adsorption were also explored. We found that low particle concentrations and physiological temperature both led to increased miRNA adsorption. Adsorption of miRNA was also higher when proteins were present in the same solution; reducing or preventing protein adsorption by PEGylating the MSNs hindered adsorption. Finally, the amount of miRNA adsorbed from human serum by MSN-NH2 was compared to a commercial miRNA purification kit (TaqMan®, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). MSN-NH2 adsorbed six times as much miRNA as the commercial kit, demonstrating higher sensitivity to subtle up- and downregulation of circulating miRNA in the blood of patients.
