A method was developed for the determination of N-acetyl-S-( N-methylcarbamoyl ) cysteine ( AMCC) in human urine by online solid-phase extraction ( SPE )-high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC ) . The separation of AMCC from the urine matrix was performed on AmoniPac PA Solid phase Extraction ( SPE ) column with 5 mmol/L KH2 PO4 as the mobile phase by left pump. Then the time was controlled to switch the valve to make only the section of sample containing AMCC transferred into the analytic column-Acclaim PAⅡ C18 . The determination was performed using gradient elution of 0. 1% H3 PO4 (containing 5% acetonitrile) and acetonitrile by right pump. The results showed that AMCC present good linear correlation in the range of 1 . 0-100 mg/L with a correlation coefficient of above 0 . 999 , the quantitation limit of the method was 0. 2 mg/L (with the sample inject volume =10 μL), the recoveries of spiked samples were in the range of 82 . 9%-85 . 9%, and the relative standard deviation ( n=6 ) of retention time and peak area were 0. 2% and 4. 0% respectively. Compared with offline SPE-HPLC, the proposed method was convenient, environmentally friendly, efficient and stable, and feasible for the detection of AMCC in 7 human urine samples.

Objective To construct the prokaryotic expression vector of human procalcitonin(PCT) and obtain the highly purified recombinant PCT protein.Methods PCT primers were designed based on the sequence of PCT gene from NCBI,and PCT gene was amplified by PCR.Then,the recombinant vector PCT/pET-22b(+) was constructed and transferred into E.coli BL21 to induce the expression of recombinant PCT protein.Last,the recombinant PCT protein was purified by the nickel column affinity chromatography and identified by Western blot and the colloidal gold method,respectively.Results The results of agarose gel electrophoresis showed that the product of PCR amplification was about 350 bp.The homology comparison analysis revealed that the PCT gene fragment(348 bp) was successfully inserted into pTG19-T vector,and that no any base mutation was found.When the recombinant plasmid of PCT/pET-22b(+) was digested with BamH Ⅰ and HindⅢ,two pieces of about 350 bp and 5 500 bp were obtained.SDS-PAGE showed that the recombinant PCT protein with about 14 000 of Mr was existed in soluble form,and was easily obtained by the nickel column affinity chromatography.Moreover,western blot and the colloidal gold method demonstrated that the recombinant PCT protein was successfully expressed and contained histidine label(His-tag).Conclusion The recombinant vector PCT/pET-22b(+) is successfully constructed by the recombinant DNA technology,and the recombinant PCT fusion protein is successfully obtained by the nickel column affinity chromatography.
