The article highlights the use of a highly sensitive method based on immunomicrochip technology in the current practice of veterinary and sanitary expertise of aquaculture (fish and fish products) for the presence of residual amounts of antibiotics. To do this, we used a test of Antimicrobial Array I Ultra and Antimicrobial Array II Plus from Randox (UK) in accordance with the instructions. Duration of analysis 2 ... 3 hours. Based on our studies, the optimal parameters for detecting residual quantities of various groups of antibiotics in fish using the immunomicrochip method were determined, and the sensitivity and specificity of these test systems were established. Using the Antimicrobial Array I Ultra panel, the residual amounts of 20 antibiotic drugs and sulfonamides simultaneously were determined in one sample. The detection limit in this fish panel is 1.6 to 6.5 μg / l. With the help of the Antimicrobial Array II Plus panel, the residual amounts of 35 antibacterial drugs were simultaneously determined, including 10 types of tetracycline and 17 quinolone compounds. The detection limit in fish is from 0.9 to 14.0 μg / l. In this case, the results are obtained in a quantitative equivalent, and not as a "yes-no" answer.

Background: Determination of a reducing substance based on the reaction between Ce(IV) and a reducing substance and fluorescence detection of Ce(III) generated has been reported as a selective and sensitive method. However, this method could not be applied to the determination of alcohol due to the low reaction rate of alcohol and Ce(IV). Objective: We found that thiosulfate catalytically enhanced reaction of alcohols (such as, methanol, ethanol, and propanol) and Ce(IV). Utilizing this effect, we developed a new method for the determination of alcohols. Results: In the presence of thiosulfate, an increase in fluorescence intensity was detected by injecting alcohol at concentrations of several millimolar, whereas it was not observed even at the concentration of 10% v/v (2 M for ethanol) in the absence of thiosulfate. The optimum detection conditions were determined to be 4.0 mM Ce(IV) sulfate and 0.50 mM thiosulfate, and the detection limit (S/N = 3) of ethanol under these conditions was 1 mM. In the calibration curves, changes in the slope were observed when the alcohol concentrations were approximately 10–25 mM. Using a thiosulfate solution containing ethanol as the reaction solution, a calibration curve without any change in slope was obtained, although the concentration of ethanol at the detection limit increased. The alcohols in the liquor and fuel were successfully analyzed using the proposed detection method as a postcolumn reaction. Conclusion: This new alcohol detection method using a versatile fluorescence detector can be applied to the postcolumn reaction of HPLC omitting need of time-consuming pretreatment processes.

Context Primary aldosteronism (PA) is the most common cause of endocrine hypertension that is diagnosed following a two-step process: an initial screening test, based on the serum aldosterone-to-renin ratio (ARR), followed by a relatively laborious and time-consuming confirmatory test to document autonomous aldosterone (ALD) secretion. Objective The aim of this study is to develop a simple overnight test for the early and definite diagnosis of PA. Patients and methods Totally, 148 hypertensive patients underwent a fludrocortisone–dexamethasone suppression test (FDST) and the new overnight diagnostic test (DCVT) using pharmaceutical RAAS (renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system) blockade with dexamethasone, captopril and valsartan. Results Of the 148 patients, 45 were diagnosed as having PA and they all normalized their elevated blood pressure (BP) after administration of spironolactone or eplerenone. The remaining 103 patients were considered as having essential hypertension and served as controls. Using ROC analysis, the estimated sensitivity and specificity were 91 and 100%, respectively, for the post-FDST ARR, whereas 98% and 89% and 100% and 82% for the post-DCVT ARR and post-DCVT ALD, respectively, with selected cutoffs of 0.32ng/dL/μU/mL and 3ng/dL respectively. However, considering these cutoffs simultaneously, the estimated sensitivity and specificity were 98 and 100% respectively. Applying these cutoffs, the diagnosis of PA was confirmed in 44 (98%) of the 45 patients who were considered to have the disease. Conclusions In this study, a highly sensitive and specific, low-cost, rapid, safe, and easy-to-perform diagnostic test (DCVT) for PA is described, which could be utilized on an outpatient basis potentially substituting conventional laborious testing.

Capecitabine is a 'pro-drug' to the cytotoxic agent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) intended to administered orally. Capecitabine is generally used as first line monotherapy for advanced colon cancer. Simple, rapid, accurate UV spectrophotometric methods were developed in the present study and validated for the estimation of Capecitabine in bulk and its formulations as per ICH guidelines. Three solvent systems viz., 0.1N NaOH, 0.1N HCl and Methanol: Water (1:3) was tried. The results suggest that the developed method shows linearity over the range of concentration 2-24μg/ml and a correlation coefficient of 0.9999. Accuracy, precision, linearity, robustness, and ruggedness were statistically validated as per ICH guidelines for all the developed methods. The % RSD values for validated methods were found to be less than 1.5 and methods will find application in routine analysis of drug formulations containing Capecitabine.
