A method was developed for the determination of tetrodotoxin in marine organisms by high perfor-mance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry with immunoaffinity column. The samples were extracted with 1% acetic acid methanol solution and diluted with phosphate buffer at pH 7-8. After cleaned up by immuno-affinity column, the samples were analyzed by LC-MS/MS and quantitatively determined by external standard method. The chromatographic separation was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC BEH Amide column with gradient elution by using acetonitrile and 5 mol/L ammonium acetate solution containing 0. 1% formic acid as mobile phase. Detection was carried out by electrospray positive ionization mass spectrometry in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. Linear ranges of TTX was in the range of 0. 3 -20. 0 μg/L with correlation coeffi-cient more than 0. 997. The quantification limit of the method was 0. 3 μg/kg. The recoveries of standard addition for tetrodotoxin were 88. 7%-102. 3%, and the relative standard deviation was 2. 0%-6. 4%. The method could be used to identify and quantify tetrodotoxin in marine organisms with satisfactory reproducibility and sensitivity.
2.A Probe into the Holistic Concept of Professor Huang Huang's Formula-Disease-Person Diagnosis and Treatment Model
Journal of Nanjing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2024;40(9):875-879
To explore the connotation of the holistic view of"formula-disease-person"diagnosis and treatment model of Professor Huang Huang from the aspects of construction process,thinking dimension,clinical practice,etc.It's believed that"formula-dis-ease-person"diagnosis and treatment model is based on the holistic view of"unity of form and spirit",and contains a wealth of consti-tution epistemology based on the holism of"form-qi-spirit",which has the characteristics of three-dimensional,scene character and embodiment.From the perspective of therapeutics,two key points are derived,namely"correspondence between formula and person"and"correspondence between formula and disease",which embodies the systematic and holistic thinking of"constitution differentia-tion,disease differentiation,syndrome differentiation,pathogenesis differentiation",emphasizes the unity of formula-person,formula-disease,formula-syndrome and formula-pathogenesis,and is the embodiment of the idea of combining disease and syndrome.The"formula-disease-person"diagnosis and treatment model combines the formula-syndrome view of"diagnosis-identification"and the treatment view of constitution differentiation-disease differentiation and incorporates a holistic view throughout the entire process of dis-ease diagnosis and treatment,which has guiding significance for the treatment of chronic diseases and difficult diseases.
