A sequential clean-up method was developed for the quantification of 10 plant growth regulators in bean sprout by the gas chromatography / mass spectrometry (GC / MS). The analytes were firstly extracted by the acided acetonitrile. Extraction was concentrated and re-dissovled by methanol. Then, it was divided to two aliquots. One of that was analyzed for 2,4-D-butyl ester and 2,4-D-ethyl ester after the purification by QuECHERS cartridge. Another one was treated by MCS solid phase extraction column including diverse eluting steps. After eluting by 5 mL methanol, composition 1 was obtain, concentrated, and methyl esterified by 10% boron trifluoride methanol solution. The treated extract was used for the determination of 4-chlorophenoxy acetic acid, β-naphthyl acetic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid, indole acetic acid and indole butyric acid. Composition 2 collected by eluting with 5 mL 5% amonium methanol was used for the determination of paclobutrazol, Kinetin, 6-Benzylaminopurine. The clean-up procedures are designed according to different chemistry properties of these plant growth regulators. The results showed that after spiking of 0. 01-0. 1 mg / kg selected plant growth regulators, average recovery ranged from 70. 0% to 93. 2%and relative standard deviation were 5. 2% -12. 3% . Limit of quantification (LOQ S / N≥10) and limit of detection (LOD S / N≥3) were 0. 01-0. 025 mg / kg and 0. 003-0. 008 mg / kg respectively. The developed purification method is easy, fast and accurate, and can be applied to routine test of plant growth regulators in bean sprout.

This study examined the incidence, neuropsychological characteristics and risk factors of cognitive impairment 3 months after stroke in China. Five regions that differed in geography and economy in China were selected. Patients from the hospitals located in the five regions were prescreened at admission, and the demographic data, vascular risk factors and clinical characteristics of stroke were obtained. A battery of cognitive-specific domain tests was performed in the patients who failed to pass cognitive screening 3 months post stroke. Patients were diagnosed as having post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) or no cognitive impairment (NCI) based on the results of the neuropsychological tests. Univariate analysis was performed for suspect risk factors, and significant variables were entered in multivariable logistic regression analysis. Our results showed that a total of 633 patients were recruited 3 months after stroke; complete cognitive tests were performed in 577 of the stroke patients. The incidence of PSCI in these Chinese patients was 30.7%. There were 129 (22.4%) patients with visuospatial impairment, 67 (11.6%) with executive impairment, 60 (10.4%) with memory impairment and 18 (3.1%) with attention impairment. The risk factors associated with PSCI were older age (odds ratio [OR] 1.76, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.20-2.58), low education level (OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.65-3.64), depressive symptom (OR 1.69, 95% CI 1.09-2.61), obesity (OR 2.57, 95% CI 1.41-4.71), stroke severity 3 months post stroke (OR 1.62, 95%CI 1.10-2.37) and cortex lesion (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.04-2.31). It was concluded that PSCI occurs commonly 3 months after first-ever stroke in Chinese patients. Visuospatial ability may be the most frequently impaired cognitive domain for the patients with stroke. The critical risk factors of PSCI are older age, low education level, depressive symptom, obesity, stroke severity 3 months post stroke and cortex lesion.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene and α-terpineol in volatile oil of Forsythia suspensa. METHODS: GC method was adopted. The determination was performed on HP-5 capillary column through temperature-programmed route. The inlet temperature was 230 ℃, and detector temperature was 250 ℃; split sampling was applied (split ratio of 8 ∶ 1); the air flow rate was 300 mL/min, the hydrogen flow rate was 30 mL/min, the tail gas flow rate was 30 mL/min, and the injection volume was 1 μL. Using limonene as internal reference, relative correction factors of α-pinene, β-pinene and α-terpineol were established, and the reproducibility of relative correction factors were investigated by using different chromatographs and columns, and chromatographic peak location of components was measured. The contents of above components were calculated with QAMS, and then compared with the results of external standard method. RESULTS: The linear range of α-pinene, β-pinene, limonene and α-terpineol were 16.5-990.0, 38.1-2 287.5, 8.2-491.2, 2.4-142.5 μg/mL, respectively (r≥0.999 1). RSDs of precision, reproducibility and stability tests were all lower than 3% (n=6). Average recoveries were 99.7%-105.5%(RSD<4%,n=9). Compared with limonene (1.00),the average relative correction factors of α-pinene, β-pinene and α-terpineol were 0.91,0.86 and 1.11(n=3); relative retention time were 0.69-0.74, 0.81-0.86, 1.25-1.35(RSD<3%,n=3). By using different chromatographs and columns, RSDs of relative correction factors were 0.21%-4.65%(n=6). Compared with external standard method, determination results of above 4 components were consistent (the absolute value of relative error were all less than 7%). CONCLUSIONS: QAMS can be used for simultaneous determination of 4 kinds of effective components in volatile oil from F. suspensa.
