The build-in low-pressure monolithic column combined with hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry ( HG-AFS ) was employed for speciation analysis of fish meat. The sample pretreatment and separation approach could be accomplished within 30 min. The proper amount of fish sample was weighed and smashed into puree. The extraction solution composed of 10% HCl, 1% thiourea, and 0. 15% KCl was added before loaded into the automatic temperature controlled vertex system with 2000 r/min. The sample solution was separated through Merck monolithic column, with 3% ( V/V) acetonitrile, 30 mmol/L amonium acetate and 0. 03%(V/V) 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME) as the eluent. The after-column eluent was digested by novel UV digestion device with pipeline sintered into the lamp, and then detected by hydrid-generation AFS. The rapid LC separation enabled fast mercury speciation of fish sample within 10 min. The different UV lamp digestion effects, eluent components, carrier gas, shield gas, lamp current, as well as PMT working power was optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the robust system achieved detection limits (DL) of 0. 15 μg/L and 0. 14 μg/L for methylmercury and HgⅡ, respectively. The RSD (n=7) was less than 5%, the linear correlation coefficient was 0 . 999 , and the matrix spiked recovery was in the range of 85%-110% for Hg speciation. This method was used for the determination of Hg speciation in fish and soil samples, and was proofed to be a reliable, easy approach for daily inspection.

Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus and Hedysarum polybotrys belong to different genera, but have similar drug efficacy in traditional Chinese medicine theory, and H. polybotrys was used as the legal A. membranaceus var. mongholicus previously. In this study, similarities and differences between them were analyzed via their ITS/ITS2 fragments information. The ITS (internal transcribed spacer) regions were amplified using polymerase chain reaction and then sequenced in two-way. The alignment lengths of ITS regions were 616 bp, in which 508 loci were consistent, and 103 loci were different, accounting for 82.47% and 16.72% of the total ITS nucleotides in length, respectively. As genotype determines phenotype, 1HNMR-based metabolomic approach was further used to reveal the chemical similarities and differences between them. Thirty-four metabolites were identified in the 1H NMR spectra, and twenty-seven metabolites were the common components. Amino acids, carbohydrates and other primary metabolites were similar, while a large difference existed in the flavonoids and astragalosides. This study suggests that A. membranaceus var. mongholicus and H. polybotrys show similarities and differences from molecular and chemical perspectives, which has laid a foundation for elucidating the effective material basis of drug with similar efficacy and resources utilization.
