Objective. To establish a method for extraction and determination of antioxidant 264 (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol) in the brominated butyl rubber stopper for injection and migration study in recombinant potent antitumor and antivirus protein injection (Novaferon). Methods. Dichloromethane-ethanol was adopted as the extraction solvent during the process of reflux extraction of antioxidant 264 in the brominated butyl rubber stopper. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used for the determination of the migration of antioxidant 264 to Novaferon. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water (80 : 20, v/v). The flow rate was 1.5 mL/min. The detection wavelength was 280 nm. Results. The linearity range was from 4.003 to 200.150 μg/mL (r2 = 0.99996), and the average recovery of antioxidant 264 was 97.8%. The applicability of the methodology was good, which can be used for the determination of antioxidant 264. The results indicated that antioxidant 264 was not detected in Novaferon after the accelerated test and three months of long-term test. Conclusion. The established validated method in this study can be used for the determination of antioxidant 264 in the rubber stopper, and the brominated butyl rubber stopper has good compatibility with Novaferon.

The residues of antimicrobials used in human and veterinary medicine are popular pollutants of anthropogenic origin. The main sources of introducing antimicrobials into the environment are sewage treatment plants and the agricultural industry. Antimicrobials in animal manure contaminate the surrounding soil as well as groundwater, and can be absorbed by plants. The presence of antimicrobials in food of plant origin may pose a threat to human health due to their high biological activity. As part of the research, a procedure was developed for the extraction and determination of ciprofloxacin, enrofloxacin, cefuroxime, nalidixic acid and metronidazole in environmental samples (soil and parsley root). An optimized solid-liquid extraction (SLE) method was used to separate antimicrobials from the solid samples and a mixture of citrate buffer (pH = 4): methanol (1:1; v/v) was used as the extraction solvent. Solid phase extraction (SPE) with OASIS® HLB cartridges was used to purify and pre-concentrate the sample. The recovery of the developed method was in the range of 55–108%. Analytes were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with an ultraviolet (UV) detector and a tandem mass spectrometer (HPLC-UV-MS/MS). The procedure was validated and applied to the determination of selected antimicrobials in soil and parsley root samples. Five types of soil and five types of parsley roots of different origins were analyzed. The presence of nalidixic acid in the parsley root samples was found in the concentration range of 0.14–0.72 ng g−1. It has been shown that antimicrobials are absorbed by the plant and can accumulate antimicrobials in its edible parts.

As an essential electrolyte for the human body, the potassium ion (K+) plays many physiological roles in living cells, so the rapid and accurate determination of serum K+ is of great significance. In this work, we developed a solid-contact ion-selective electrode (SC-ISE) using MoS2/Fe3O4 composites as the ion-to-electron transducer to determine serum K+. The potential response measurement of MoS2/Fe3O4/K+-ISE shows a Nernst response by a slope of 55.2 ± 0.1 mV/decade and a low detection limit of 6.3 × 10−6 M. The proposed electrode exhibits outstanding resistance to the interference of O2, CO2, light, and water layer formation. Remarkably, it also presents a high performance in potential reproducibility and long-term stability.

The use of pesticides in agricultural activities has increased significantly during the last decades. Several studies have reported the health damage that results from exposure to pesticides. In Mexico, hundreds of communities depend economically on agricultural activities. The participation of minors in this type of activity and their exposure to pesticides represents a potential public health problem. A cross-sectional study was conducted, in which urine samples (first-morning urine) were taken from children under 15 years of age in both communities. A total of 281 urine samples obtained in both communities were processed for the determination of pesticides with high-performance liquid chromatography together with tandem mass spectrometry. In 100% of the samples, at least two pesticides of the 17 reported in the total samples were detected. The presence of malathion, metoxuron, and glyphosate was remarkable in more than 70% of the cases. Substantial differences were detected regarding the other compounds. It is necessary to carry out long-term studies to determine the damage to health resulting from this constant exposure and to inform the health authorities about the problem in order to implement preventive measures.

In this study, a rapid and selective method has been developed to determine PENG residues in waste penicillium chrysogenum by using SPE cleanup strategy followed by HPLC. Furthermore, some parameters which influenced the extraction efficiency including extraction mode, solvent and time, while washing solution and eluting solution for SPE were systematically investigated. It should be noted that the extraction process was carried out in a single step by mixing the extraction solvent acetonitrile: formic acid in aqueous solution and chrysogenum samples under ultrasound. The SPE procedure was conducted using Oasis HLB as the clean up cartridge, n-hexane as washing solution, and mixture of acetonitrile and methanol as eluting solution. Under the optimized conditions, the linear of PENG are in the range of 0.1-2000 μg/mL, with the correlation was R2>0.99. In addition, the recoveries of PENG in these samples at three fortification levels of 800-1800mg/kg were 74.98% to 113.47% are obtained, respectively. Moreover, a limits of detection (0.006 mg/kg) and quantification (0.02 mg/kg) could be achieved.

Abstract Using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection, we determined serotonin in plasma from parkinsonian patients being treated with L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine or N-(DL-seryl)-N'(2,3,4-trihydroxybenzyl)hydrochloride plus L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine ("Sinemet") and in serum from a blood bank, from "normal" persons, and a pooled specimen from a hospital clinical laboratory. The values obtained for the two groups of Parkinson's disease patients showed no significant difference. Long-term storage on solid CO2 was xhown to be an adequate technique for preserving samples. The mean (+/-SEAM) normal value obtained for serotonin in serum was 146 +/- 46 microgram/liter (n = 23), a result in harmony with that previously obtained [Clin. Chem. 20, 812 (1974)] by fluorometry. In comparison to other methods for measurement of serotonin in serum or plasma, we believe that the present scheme offers greater selectivity, sensitivity, and precision.

A simple cloud point preconcentration method was developed and validated for the determination of gallic acid, bergenin, quercitrin, and embelin in Ardisia japonica by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using ultrasonic assisted micellar extraction. Nonionic surfactant Genapol X-080 was selected as the extraction solvent. The effects of various experimental conditions such as the type and concentration of surfactant and salt, temperature, and solution pH on the extraction of these components were studied to optimize the conditions of Ardisia japonica. The solution was incubated in a thermostatic water bath at 60°C for 10 min, and 35% NaH2PO4 (w/v) was added to the solution to promote the phase separation and increase the preconcentration factor. The intraday and interday precision (RSD) were both below 5.0% and the limits of detection (LOD) for the analytes were between 10 and 20 ng·mL−1. The proposed method provides a simple, efficient, and organic solvent-free method to analyze gallic acid, bergenin, quercitrin, and embelin for the quality control of Ardisia japonica.

An ultrasound-assisted ionic liquid based dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (UA-IL-DLLME) was developed for the determination of four plant hormones (6-benzyladenine (6-BA), kinetin (6-KT), 2, 4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2, 4-D) and uniconazole (UN)) in soil, using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-diode array detection (DAD). Several important parameters including the type and volume of extraction solvent, the volume of disperser solvent, ultrasound time, pH of the solution and salt effect were studied and optimized. Under optimum conditions, the limits of detections (LODs) for the target analytes were in the range of 0.002-0.01 μg g-1. And satisfactory recoveries of the target analytes in the soil samples were 79.3-96.7 %, with relative standard deviations (RSD, n=5) that ranged from 4.3 to 6.7%.
