An effective method for simultaneously detecting four semivolatile earthy-musty odors in freshwater fish by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)was developed.The concurrent extraction of geosmin(GSM),2-methylisoborneol(MIB),2-isopropyl-3-methoxypyrazine(IPMP),and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine(IBMP)in fish tissue was conducted with n-hexane.The optimized QuEChERS material was implemented,and it was found that C18,primary secondary amine(PSA)and MgSO4 could adsorb the target analytes in n-hexane.So only the graphitized carbon black(GCB)could be used to purify the extraction.The adsorption rates of different materials for the four kinds of odors materials were explored in n-hexane and ethyl acetate.The experimental results revealed that the adsorption rates of silica for the four targets were 99.5%-100%in n-hexane and 0.7%-5.0%in ethyl acetate respectively.Then the silica solid phase extraction(SPE)method was utilized to eluent the compounds using 1.0 mL n-hexane/ethyl acetate in different proportions.The results of the comparative analysis demonstrated that n-hexane/ethyl acetate(4∶1,V/V)was the optimized eluent.Based on the obtained results,n-hexane extraction and GCB purification combined with silica SPE were used to isolate GSM,MIB,IPMP and IBMP from fish and the method was validated.It was found that the method showed good linearity in the range of 0.5-200 ng/mL,and with detection limits of 0.6 μg/kg for GSM and MIB,0.2 μg/kg for IPMP and IBMP.The limits of quantitation(LOQ)were 1.0 μg/kg for GSM and MIB,0.6 μg/kg for IPMP and IBMP.Good recoveries(77.5%-112.0%)and relative standard deviations(1.56%-9.42%)were also obtained.The use of silica SPE greatly mitigated the issue that the off-flavor compounds were easily lost in the gas blowing concentration process.There was no cross contamination in this method because the sample pretreatments were conducted separately,which was different with the most commonly used HS-SPME method for detecting semi-volatile substances.The sensitivity of this method was high enough to produce good quantitative results below the odor thresholds of the examined off-flavor compounds.

Objective:To explore the potential category characteristics of social participation in colorectal cancer patients with stoma and analyze the influencing factors of different potential categories, so as to provide references for formulating and implementing targeted nursing measures.Methods:By using the convenience sampling method, colorectal cancer patients with stoma who were hospitalized or had outpatient follow-up visits at Guilin Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical University from January to December 2024 were selected as the survey subjects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the general information questionnaire, the voluntary participation Questionnaire, the Existential Anxiety Scale, the Family Support Scale and the Social Support Rating Scale. Potential profile analysis was used to identify the categories of social participation characteristics of colorectal cancer stoma patients, and multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze the related influencing factors.Results:A total of 240 valid questionnaires were finally retrieved. Among the 240 colorectal cancer patients with stoma, 126 were male and 114 were female, aged 34-75 (55.63 ± 6.52) years. The social participation score of colorectal cancer patients with stoma was (55.84 ± 8.62) points. The results of potential profile analysis showed that the social participation of colorectal cancer patients with stoma could be divided into three potential categories: low participation-inefficient social life type accounted for 38.3% (92/240), medium participation-efficient indoor participation type accounted for 36.3% (87/240), and high participation-efficient outdoor participation type accounted for 25.4% (61/240). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that, taking the high participation-efficient outdoor participation type as the reference, age, educational level, presence absence of stoma-related complications, existence of meaningless anxiety, family support, and social support were the influencing factors of low participation-inefficient social life type and medium participation-efficient indoor participation type ( OR values ranged from 0.163 to 1.879, all P<0.05). Conclusions:There are obvious classification characteristics in the social participation of colorectal cancer patients with stoma. Nursing staff can formulate and implement targeted intervention strategies based on different classification characteristics. Starting from the existence of meaningless anxiety in patients, an effective family and social support system should be established to improve their social participation.
