In this study, a novel tetrapeptide hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) material was synthesized, and corresponding enrichment method for glycopeptides was developed.The tetrapeptide modified silica gel materials (denoted as Poly-DAPD) were synthesized by atom-transfer radical-polymerization (ATRP) and characterized by N2 adsorption desorption and thermometer, thermal gravimetric analyzer (TGA) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS).The characterization results indicated that tetrapeptide had been successfully synthesized on silica gel.Poly-DAPD materials showed high enrichment selectivity toward fetuin glycopeptides under solid-phase extraction (SPE) mode.Comparing with commercialized ZIC-HILIC in glycopeptides enrichment of fetuin digest which mixed with 5 mole ratio of albumin bovine (BSA), the as-prepared materials showed higher selectivity in both aspects of the identified number of glycopeptides and anti-interference property.The SPE results demonstrated that the tetrapeptide-based HILIC materials could be a potential tool in large-scale glycosylation analysis.

ObjectiveTo study the correlation between the etiology and clinical features of erythroderma.MethodsThe clinical data on 182 patients with erythroderma were retrospectively collected and analyzed.ResultsThe male-to-female ratio was 2.8 ∶ 1 and the average age at onset was 58.6 ± 14.6 years.Of the 182 cases,135 (74.2%) were due to pre-existing dermatoses,14 (7.7%) to drug reaction,8 (4.4%) to malignancies,while 25(13.7%) had no obvious precipitating factors.The most frequent triggering factor was systemic consumption of drugs(52 patients,28.6% ),and glucocorticosteroid was the most prevalent causative drug.Seventy-six patients were followed up,recurrence was observed in 14 patients but not in 58 patients,and 5 patients died,2 patients with idiopathic erythroderma were finally diagnosed with mycosis fungoides (MF)after multiple skin biopsies.ConclusionsPre-existing dermatoses are the most frequent cause of erythroderma.Idiopathic erythroderma is liable to relapse,possibly associated with malignancies,and should be closely followed up.
