A novel, simple and highly sensitive method was developed for the rapid analysis of phenolic antioxidants at trace level in edible oils. It was based on dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction ( DLLME ) and gas chromatography-mass/mass spectrometry ( GC-MS/MS) . Related important factors that may influence enrichment efficiency, such as type and volume of extraction solvent, type and volume of dispersive solvent, and extraction time were investigated and optimized in detail. The optimum conditions were as follows:a quick injection of 500 μL mixed solution ( methanol:acetonitrile=1:1 , V/V ) into 1 . 0 g oil sample with 3 mL n-hexane for 10 s of extraction time. Under the optimal conditions, the linearity (10-2000 ng/g), limits of detection (1. 5-2. 4 ng/g) and relative standard deviations (4. 0%-8. 3%) was obtained. The proposed method was applied for the analysis of 4 edible oil samples. Some of phenolic antioxidants were detected in three of them, and the recoveries of spiked samples were in the range of 81. 9%-118%.

BACKGROUND:Clinical infusion of hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells for treatment of aplastic anemia has been reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells on the secretion function of T lymphocytes of aplastic anemia patients. METHODS:Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells were extracted from healthy human adipose tissues. T-lymphocytes were harvested from peripheral blood of patients with aplastic anemia by density gradient centrifugation. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells were co-cultured with T-lymphocytes. The levels of interleukin-2, interleukin-4, interleukin-10 and interferon-γwere detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. T-bet and GATA-3 levels were examined by real-time PCR and western blot. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The levels of Th1 type cytokines interferon-γand interleukin-2 in the co-culture group were significantly lower than those in the T-lymphocyte group (P<0.05). But the levels of Th2 type cytokines interleukin-4 and interleukin-10 in the co-culture group were significantly higher than those in the T-lymphocyte group (P<0.05). The T-bet mRNA and protein levels in the co-culture group were significantly lower than those in the T-lymphocyte group, while the GATA-3 mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher in the co-culture group. Human adipose-derived mesenchymal stems cells can mediate an immunoregulation effect on T-lymphocytes of aplastic anemia patients in vitro, which is possibly related with the inhibition of Th1-dominant response due to the disorder of T-bet and GATA-3 gene expression.
