A novel solid-phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent for simultaneous extraction of atrazine (ATZ) and its metabolites, deisopropylatrazine (DIA) and deethylatrazine (DEA) from environmental water samples was prepared. Polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PAN NFs) mat was prepared via electrospinning, and was further functionalized to obtain polypyrrole modified polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (PPy-PAN NFs) mat, hydrazine modified polyacrylonitrile nanofibers (NH2-PAN NFs) mat and carboxyl modified polyacrylonitrile (COOH-PAN NFs) mat. The results showed that the adsorption capacity of COOH-PAN NFs mat was better than other three NFs mats in both static (2.0 mg/g) and dynamic (0.19 mg/g) experiments. Meanwhile, the runoff ratios of COOH-PAN NFs mat were the lowest (less than 30.0%) in the adsorption of three analytes, especially for high polar analytes, which showed that the hydrogen bond between carboxyl groups and analytes was the main interactive force. A combination of mat-based SPE and high performance liquid chromatography-diode array detection was further established for determination of 3 analytes in environmental water samples. The recoveries were 81.4%-120.3% and the limits of detection were 0.12 ng/mL for DIA, 0.09 ng/mL for DEA and ATZ, respectively.

Objective:To investigate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic treatment for sporadic non-ampullary descending duodenal adenoma, and to analyze high-risk endoscopic features of malignant adenoma.Methods:Data of 54 patients diagnosed as having non-ampullary descending duodenal adenoma in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from November 2012 to September 2019 were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into two groups, the high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia/adenocarcinoma (HGIN/AC) group and the low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia (LGIN) group according to pathological grade. Clinical features including gender, age, size and color of lesions, therapeutic methods, complications and postoperative follow-up results were analyzed.Results:A total of 54 patients were divided into the HGIN/AC group ( n=12) and the LGIN group ( n=42). There were significant differences in size or color of lesions between the two groups (both P<0.05). All 54 patients received endoscopic treatment. Biopsy, endoscopic mucosal resection and endoscopic submucosal dissection were performed on 8, 32 and 14 cases, respectively. A small perforation was found and clipped during operation without any complications. There were 2 cases of delayed hemorrhage, and the bleeding stopped under endoscopic treatment. The mean follow-up time was 2-58 months with no recurrence. Conclusion:Endoscopic treatment is safe and effective for non-ampullary descending duodenal adenoma. Lesions of size larger than 10 mm and those with a red surface have higher malignant tendency.
