Two kinds of β2-agonistresidues in sheep plasma and urine were disposed by enzymolysis and organic solvent extraction pretreatment methods, and UPLC-MS/MS was used for the qualitative and quantitative analysis. Detection results were compared to study the influences of two pretreatment methods. The experimental results showed that more than 95% of Ractopamine and 40% of Salbutamol exist in the conjugated form in sheep plasma. The detection results of 2 kinds of β2-agonist residues were significantly enhanced when adding β-glucuronidase/aryl sulfatase. The experimental repeatability is very poor ( RSD>40%) when the enzymolysis was not carried out. There were 57% of Ractopamine and less than 1% of Salbutamol exists in the conjugated form in sheep urine. Enzymolysis pretreatment method was useful for the Ractopamine residues determination in urine, and Enzymolysis pretreatment method was useless for Salbutamol determination in urine. Matrix effect of plasma was less than the effects of urine. The influence of organic solvent extraction pretreatment method on the detection results was unremarkable, and there was the possibility that organic solvent extraction could lead partial loss of target compound in extraction process. However, it did not influence the detection results by using internal standard calibration.

A rapid high-throughput method for the determination of 26 mycotoxins involving multifunctional cleanup column coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for the determination in feedstuffs. The feedstuff samples were extracted by ultrasonic treatment for 1 hour and the extraction solvent was acetonitrile/water/formic acid (84:15. 9:0. 1, V/V). 1 mL of the supernatant layer was purified by a commercial Mycospin 400 multifunctional cleanup column, then dried and re-dissolved by 0. 25 mL water/methanol/formic acid (95:4. 9:0. 1, V/V) in a vial for injection into the LC-MS/MS system. Chromatographic analyses were carried out on a reversed phase C18 column and using a gradient elution with 0. 1% formic acid aqueous solution and 0. 1% formic acid methanol solution. The mass spectrometer was operated in a multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM) mode that selected one precursor ion and two product ions for each target compound. Validation studies were carried out in maize and soybean meal as representative matrixes. The most target compounds had different level of matrix effects. So, matrix-matched calibration was adopted for quantification. Mean recoveries from spiked samples at three levels ranged from 61 . 9% to 119 . 5% with relative standard deviations of 0 . 8%-18 . 6%. Limits of quantification ranged from 0. 5 μg/kg to 25 μg/kg.

A novel method for simultaneous detection of mycotoxins (e.g.,aflatoxin B1) or their metabolic residues in animal plasma with impurity adsorption purification followed ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was developed.Extraction of mycotoxins and their metabolites from animal plasma sample was performed with 0.1% formic acid-acetonitrile solution after addition of sodium chloride and hydrous magnesium sulfate.The extract was then dehydrated and purified with hydrous magnesium sulfate,C18,primary secondary amine,and alumina-A.3 mL of the supernatant was evaporated and re-dissolved with 0.5 mL of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution/acetonitrile (70∶ 30,V/V) for UPLC-MS/MS detection.The analytes were separated by a C18 column utilizing gradient elution with 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution containing 0.5 mmol of ammonium acetate and 0.1% formic acid-methanol solution,and finally detected by tandem mass spectrometry in positive/negative ESI mode.Identification and quantification were achieved by LC-MS/MS with multi-reaction monitoring (MRM).Good linearity in response was obtained in the analytes concentration range of 0.05-100 ng/mL with correlation coefficients larger than 0.99.The limits of quantification (S/N=10) were around 0.05-0.5 ng/mL.The recoveries of mycotoxins and their metabolites spiked in blank plasma samples were in the range of 62.0%-116.4%,with relative standard deviations (RSDs) less than 19.0%.

ObjectiveTo investigate the shoulder-hand syndrome complicated in stroke patients discharged from hospital and effects of intervention for it on motor function.Methods112 stroke patients discharged from hospital were divided into treatment group and control group. The treatment group received intervention to provent and treat the shoulder-hand syndrome. They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer assessment, Barthel index 15 d, 1 month, 3 month, and 6 month after discharged, and the incidence of shoulder-hand syndrome were recorded. ResultsThe scores of Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Barthel Index were significant difference between these 2 groups (P<0.01). The incidence of shoulder-hand syndrome increased with time. ConclusionShoulder-hand syndrome may occur within 6 months after stroke. It is important to develop an effective prevention, treatment and rehabilitation to deal with it.

Objective To investigate the possible mechanism of hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) in renal dysfunction in patients with chronic stable coronary artery disease (SCAD).Methods We consequentially enrolled patients diagnosed as having SCAD and,according to homocysteine (Hcy) levels,divided them into the HHcy group (Hcy≥15 μmol/L,n =53) and control group (Hcy<15 μmol/L,n =47).We further tested the relationship among plasma Hcy level,renal function,and serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6 and adiponectin (APN).Results IL-6 was significantly higher in the HHcy group than in the control group (P < 0.05).However,APN level was obviously lower in the HHcy group than in the control group (P < 0.05).Correlation analysis revealed that Hcy level positively correlated with creatinine (r =0.379,P < 0.001),uric acid (r =0.238,P =0.019),cystatin C (r =0513,P < 0.001),and IL-6 levels (r =0.561,P < 0.001) but negatively correlated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR;r =-0.288,P =0.023) and APN level (r =-0.428,P < 0.001).IL-6 level showed positive correlations with creatinine (r =0.406,P =0.002),uric acid (r =0.359,P =0.007),and cystatin C levels (r =0.387,P =0.007) but a negative correlation with eGFR (r =-0.370,P =0.005).Meanwhile,APN level showed negative correlations with creatinine (r =-0.694,P < 0.001),uric acid (r =-0.420,P <0.001),and cystatin C levels (r =-0.553,P < 0.001),but a positive correlation with eGFR (r =0.251,P =0.034).Conclusion Plasma Hcy level may have a predictive value for renal dysfunction in patients with SCAD.Moreover,HHcy probably promoted renal dysfunction by inducing the imbalance of anti-inflammation and pro-inflammation in patients with SCAD.

Objective:To explore the effects of game addiction disorders on brain cognitive control functions based on near-infrared spectroscopy.Methods:Thirteen subjects were screened according to the Online Game Addiction (OGA) Scale. The experimental paradigm was the stop-signal task. The relative concentration levels of oxyhemoglobin (HbO 2) and deoxyhemoglobin (Hb) in the prefrontal region of the brain during cognitive activity were collected using near-infrared spectroscopy to assess the cognitive control function of the subjects. Results:The game-addicted patients had lower keystroke accuracy in the stop-signal task than healthy subjects, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Compared to healthy subjects, game-addicted patients had less activation in prefrontal areas and showed uncontrolled behavior and brain activity. Conclusions:Game addiction disorders impair brain cognitive control, which in turn triggers a weakening of cognitive control. The results of this study provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of game addiction.

Objective To explore the correlation of serum thyroid hormones with glucose and lipid metabolism in children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) whose thyroid functions with normal.Methods 50 T1DM and 71 healthy children were enrolled in our study.Their blood glucose,lipid,HbA1c and thyroid functions were determined.Results Compared with the control group,patients with T1DM had higher low density lipoproteincholesterol (LDL-C),triglyceride(TG),fasting blood glucose (FBG) and HbA1c while with lower high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C),thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH),and free triiodothyronine (FT3) (P<0.05).In children with T1DM,TSH was positively correlated with LDL-C (r=0.175,P=0.034),total cholesterol (TC)(r=0.187,P=0.009) and TG(r=0.206,P=0.005) while negatively correlated with FBG(r=-0.187,P=O.018) and HbA1c (r=-0.264,P<0.001).FT3 was negatively correlated with TG (r=-0.185,P=O.012),FBG (r=-0.193,P=O.O07) and HbA1c 0=-0215,P=0.002).But there were no correlations of FT4 with glucose or lipid metabolism.Conclusion TSH and FT3 are significantly correlated with glucose and lipid metabolism in children with T1DM.
