A special solid phase micro extraction ( SPME ) fibre was successfully attained by coating with a special adsorptive material on a porous stainless steel support. And the porous stainless steel support was prepared by electrochemical corrosion for the first time. The optimized erosion condition in this research was as follows: the current intensity of 30 mA, the stainless steel was etched in 2 mol/L hydrochloride solution for 1 min, then sonicated for 3 min; these procedures repeated 5 times. Meanwhile, the treated fiber coated 35 times in the sorbent solution with concentration of 5% ( m/V) in dichloromethane. The SPME fibre was applied to the analysis of gutter oil samples, and the performance of the SPME fibre for the headspace solid phase micro extraction of the exogenous impurities in gutter oil was specific, durable, stable and low-cost. The four detected trace level characteristic impurities in certain gutter oil were given as follows:42 . 7 mg/kg for acetic acid, 21. 6 mg/kg 3-butenenitrile, 71. 8 mg/kg carbon disulfide and 2. 8 mg/kg allylisothiocyanate.

Mixed saponin molecules in the extraction of Panax notoginseng(PNE) can be effectively desorpted into the molecular ionization for measurement and analysis by mass analyzer from matrix assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight-mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS). The saponin samples with chromatography purity were directly analyzed by MALDI-TOF MS, which indicated that the sensitivity of the method was higher than that of RP-HPLC. A technology of MALDI-TOF MS was directly employed to analyze the saponin kinds and their relative contents in Panax notoginseng(PN) while the saponins were perfectly extracted from the Chinese traditional medicine of PN. It was indicated that there were at least 20 saponins consisting of different molecular structure and that the content of both ginsenoside Rg1 and notoginsenoside R1 in PNE was relative high. R1 saponin was extracted and identified to follow its metabolism pathway by both thin layer chromatography and MALDI-TOF MS, respectively. The saponin fingerprinting maps in PNE can be established to evaluate the quality of PE and to study both metabolism pathway and mechanism of extra minim saponins in vivo.

Background and purpose:Currently, subjective questionaire is the most frequently used methods to evaluate swallowing dysfunctions after radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, while lacking of effective objective examinations. This study aimed to explore effective methods to evaluate swallowing dysfunctions after radiotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients, and gain knowledge of the incidence and severity of swallowing dysfunctions. Methods: From Oct. 2013 to Dec. 2013, 128 consecutive outpatients with previously treated nasopharyngeal carcinoma received esophageal barium lfuoroscopy examination at there regularly follow-ups to evaluate swallowing function. Among these patients, 89 were primary treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and 39 with conventional radiotherapy (CRT). In this study, each patient received esophageal barium lfuoroscopy examination for 3 times with thin, thick and pasty barium and were dynamically observed using X-ray fluoroscopy from front and lateral direction. Swallowing dysfunctions were defined as follows:①The bolus could not be swallowed and blocked in the mouth;②The dilute barium diverted to the glottis or trachea;③Residual barium delayed in the pyriform sinus and vallecula;④The movement of the hyoid bone or epiglottis were restricted;⑤Bolus prolong through the pharynx;⑥Barium slowed down when went though the esophageal entrance. Results:Of the 128 patients, incidence of dysphagia was 60.2%for the entire cohort, 52.8%for IMRT group and 76.9%for CRT group. Incidence of dysphagia for IMRT group was signiifcantly lower than CRT group (P=0.018). Dysphagia incidence within 1 year, 1 to 2 years and more than 2 years after RT were 63.1%, 33.3%and 69.0%, respectively (P=0.019). Conclusion:There was a high incidence of swallowing dysfunction for the nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients treated with radiotherapy and dysphagia incidence decreased when treated with IMRT. Esophageal barium lfuoroscopy examination is objective method to evaluate the incidence and severity of the swallowing dysfunction.

Arapidscreeningmethodforthedeterminationofcarbamatepesticides(CBPs)residuesin vegetables by measuring acetylcholinesterase ( AChE ) inhibition rate using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry ( ESI-MS ) has been established. After pretreatment by QuEChERS method, sample solution reacts with AChE using acetylthiocholine as substrate. AChE inhibition rate was calculated by determination of the conversion of substrate to product ( thiocholine) using ESI-MS. The temperature, time and concentration conditions of enzymatic reactions have been optimized. The relationship between the concentration of 10 kinds of common CBPs and AChE inhibition rate was researched. Matrix effects of real vegetables were studied. The limit of detection ( LOD) , which was measured by 3 times of enzyme inhibition rate of pesticide-free vegetable samples, was 0. 01-0. 05 mg/kg. The results showed that the method was better than the current national standard method of china for rapid screening of pesticide residues and fully meet the requirements of maximum residue limits( MRL) for pesticides in food of national food safety standard. False positive results were avoided effectively due to its good ability of resistance matrix interference. The reliability was proved by analyzing vegetables with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The method is simple, rapid, sensitive, reliable, and can be used for the rapid, high-throughput screening of CBPs in vegetables.

Objective To probe into the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) by studying expression of TLR4 acetylation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of gravida with GDM as well as its role in TLR4 inflammatory pathway. Methods 30 normal gravidas and 30 gravidas with GDM were enrolled in the study, 15 mL peripheral blood from every participant was collected for extraction of mononuclear cells via density gradient centrifugation and culturing in vitro by LPS. The expression of TLR4 acetylation in the mononuclear cells was detected using immunoprecipitation and western blot and the levels of inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α, IL-1 and IL-10 in the supernatant were detected by ELISA. Results TLR4 acetylation appeared positive in GDM group, and negative in the control group. After the LPS intervention, the degree of TLR4 acetylation was enhanced significantly and the latter was significantly higher than those of the GDM group and the normal + Lps group (P < 0.05). The differences in the levels of inflammatory cytokines, TNF-α, IL-1, IL-10, were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusion TLR4 acetylation exists in mononuclear cells of gravida with GDM, and mediates the release of inflammatory cytokines by influencing the activation of TLR4 inflammatory pathobenesis, which contributes to the promoted antiinflammatory - proinflammatory imbalance in gravidas. In this way, it is involved in the growth of GDM.
