摘要:In this paper,a method was developed for the detection of characteristic VOCs in exhaled breath of lung cancer patients by proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry(PTR-MS).An improved breath analysis system was used for 32 normal volunteers and 40 lung cancer patients.The data were statistically analyzed by Mann-Whitney test and logistic regression.The results showed that analytes VOC 33,VOC 39 and VOC 45 might be the breath markers for lung cancer patients,while VOC 45 was significantly different between patients with small cell lung cancer and non-small cell lung cancer.The area derived from the receiver operating curve(AUC),under the logistic regression model,reached to 0.878,with the sensitivity and specificity of 85.5% and 63.5%,respectively,while through the Fisher discriminant model,the area from AUC reached to 0.822,with sensitivity and specificity of 82.5% and 62.5%,respectively.The two models were both statistically significant for lung cancer prediction.

摘要:A novel DNA sensor was designed for the determination of breast cancer genes based on three electrochemical probes,the negative electrochemical probe [Fe(CN)6]3-/4-,methylene blue and the positive electrochemical probe[Ru(NH3)6]3+.The breast cancer genes DNA sensor was fabricated by immobilizing a breast cancer gene ssDNA onto the surface of gold nanoparticles-multi-walled carbon nanotubes(MWCNT)-Nafion modified gold electrode through adsorption,and characterized by cyclic voltammetry,differential pulse voltammetry and electrochemical impedance method.Under the optimized conditions,in 5 mmol/L K3[Fe(CN)6] -5 mmol/L K4[Fe(CN)6](pH=7.4) solution,the electrochemical current response of the sensor was linear with the logarithm of the breast cancer gene concentration in range of 0.1-500.0 nmol/L,with a detection limit(S/N=3) of 0.03 nmol/L.While using methylene blue as the electrochemical probe,the electrochemical current response was linear with concentration of breast cancer gene in range of 1.0-500.0 nmol/L,and the detection limit was 0.3 nmol/L.Based on the different binding ability of [Ru(NH3)6]3+with ssDNA and dsDNA,the current response of the sensor using [Ru(NH3)6]3+ as the probe was still linear with concentration of breast cancer gene in the range of 1.0-500.0 nmol/L.The detection limit was 0.3 nmol/L.Among three kinds of electrochemical probes,[Fe(CN)6]3-/4- probe had the lowest detection limit and the widest linear range for the detection of breast cancer gene.

摘要:A method was established for the rapid detection of 15 kinds of antibiotics(quinolones,chloramphenicol,tetracycline and sulfonamides) in river water near fish farms by ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS) with solid-phase extraction.After filtration,a 500 mL of water sample was adjusted to pH 4.0 with hydrochloric acid,then added 0.5 g ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium(Na2EDTA) to removal the interference of variousmetal ions,and finally enriched with an HLB solid-phase extraction column.The sample was detected by ultra performance liquid chromatography couple with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF MS),and screened for the antibiotics with antibiotic library.The corfirmation and quantitation of antibiotics in the sample were performed by UPLC-MS/MS in multi-period multi-reaction monitoring ion mode(MRM) with external standard method.The spiked recoveries for 15 antibiotics in blank matrix were in the range of 61.0%-98.4% with the relative standard deviations(n=3) of 4.6%-14.0%.The calibration curves of 15 antibiotics showed good linearity with the correlation coefficients not less than 0.990.The method detection limits(MDLs) ranged from 0.01 ng/L to 0.3 ng/L.With high sensitivity and good repeatability,this method could be applied in the detection of antibiotics in fish pond water in Beijing.
摘要:A liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection(LC/FLD) combined with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction based on solidification of floating organic droplet was developed for the simultaneous analysis of six hydroxylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(OH-PAHs) in human urine.The important parameters affecting the extraction efficiency,including the type and volume of extraction and dispersive solvents,urine pH value,salt concentration and extraction time were optimized.Under optimized conditions,the urine sample was adjusted to pH 5.0,then enzymatically hydrolyzed and added 20% NaCl to adjust the ion strength.400 μL dispersive solvent acetone and 40 μL extraction solvent 1-undecanol were rapidly injected into the urine sample.After vortexed and centrifuged at 3 000 r/min for 5 min,the urine was kept in a -20 ℃ refrigerator for ten min untill the floating organic droplets were solidified and could be easily collected with a spoon into a clean cell bottle.The collected 1-undecanol was injected into LC for analysis after it melted.The results showed that there existed a linear range of 2.5-150.0 μg/L for six targeted OH-PAHs in urine with their correlation coefficients(r2) of 0.999 1-0.999 8.The extraction recoveries were in the range of 70.4%-129% with RSDs of 1.7% -14.8%.The limits of detection and quantification were in the ranges of 0.5-1.0 μg/L and 1.5-3.0 μg/L,respectively.With the advantages of simplicity and rapidness,the developed method could satisfy the requirments for large sample analysis on actual human urine.

摘要:A method for the determination of scopoletin in Tengluoning capsule by three-dimensional fluorescence combined with unfolded partial least squares coupled to residual bilinearization(U-PLS/RBL) was developed.Experiments showed that scopoletin has a strong fluorescent signal.The optimum pH of the system was 9.0,the maximum excitation wavelength of scopoletin was 375 nm,and the maximum emission wavelength was 460 nm.Excitation-emission matrices(EEM) of Tengluoning capsule samples were obtained,recording emission between 400 nm and 550 nm,exciting between 310 nm and 420 nm,for the analysis of scopoletin.An effective second-order calibration method,U-PLS/RBL(unfolded partial least-squares coupled to residual bilinearization) was used to analyze the three-dimensional fluorescent data array,and the content of scopoletin was successfully determined.The predicted U-PLS/RBL concentrations were satisfactory compared with those obtained by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection.The average recovery by U-PLS/RBL was 100.4%,which indicated that the proposed method was reliable.Compared to chromatographic method,the fluorescent method has the advantages of low operating cost and pro-environment.
摘要:In this work,an Ag nanoparticles-graphene composite nanomaterial(AgNPs-GN) was prepared by redox reaction.And an Ag nanoparticles-graphene modified glass carbon electrode(AgNPs-GN/GCE) was fabricated by immobilizing AgNPs-GN on the surface of the glass carbon electrode.The electrochemical behaviors of paracetamol on AgNPs-GN/GCE and GN/GCE were investigated in B-R buffer solution(pH 4.78) by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry.Both modified electrodes had electrocatalytic activity for the redox of paracetamol,and the AgNPs-GN/GCE possessed a more excellent electrocatalytic effect.Under the optimal conditions,the reduction peak current of paracetamol was proportional to its concentration in the range of 1.0×10-7-5.0×10-4 mol/L with the detection limit of 3.0×10-8 mol/L.A new method for the determination of paracetamol in tablets was established.The modified electrode showed an excellent stability and a good reproducibility.
摘要:The enzyme kinetic constants(Ki,Ka,K2) and half inhibitory concentration(IC50) were determined to reveal the kinetic characteristics of wheat bran esterase with the index of enzyme activity inhibition rate.Results showed that,the sensitivity order of wheat bran esterase to three organophosphorus pesticides was as follows: dichlorvos>methyl parathion>dimethoate,and that to carbamate pesticides was: isoprocarb>carbaryl>carbosulfan.In addition,the corresponding IC50 values for the six pesticides were 0.176,1.754,2.583,0.489,0.799,2.035 mg/L,respectively.The conclusion that the inhibitory effects of pesticides on wheat bran esterase were selective in different degrees was obtained by comparing the kinetic constants(Ki,Ka,K2) of wheat bran esterase and IC50 values of the six pesticides.And the main reason for the difference of the sensitivity to pesticides was the affinity of wheat bran esterase and pesticides.Actually,lettuce,green beans and grapes were detected to contain pesticides by using this method,and the pesticide residues in grape were confirmed to be dimethoate.The method could provide a theoretical basis for the application of wheat bran esterase in pesticide detection.
摘要:A novel molecular imprinted polymer(MIP) sensor was successfully prepared for selective direct detection of nitrofurantoin in water and feed samples.To obtain the fluorescent sensor,carbon quantum dots(CDs) were synthesized by using citric acid as carbon source,modified with silane agent to introduce polymerizable bonds on the CDs surface,then a nitrofurantoin molecularly imprinted polymer(MIP) nanofilm was attached on the modified CDs surface.The structure and morphology of CDs and MIP-CDs were characterized by fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).A series of adsorption experiments were performed to investigate the absorption capacity of MIP-CDs.The results showed that the relationship between fluorescence quenching and nitrofurantoin concentration followed the Stern-Volmer equation with a good linear response in the range of 0-10 mg/L,and the detection limit for nitrofurantoin was 2 μg/L.In addition,the MIP-CDs were employed to detect the nitrofurantoin in water and feed samples with recoveries of 78.0%-95.2% and RSDs not more than 6.4%(n=3).The developed method was simple,rapid and selective,and was suitable for the analysis of trace nitrofurantoin in water and feed samples.
摘要:The chemical state variation of Cu element and its influencing factors on Cu modified vanadium-based de-NOx catalyst were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectrometry(XPS).The results showed that Cu element in catalyst existed in the forms of CuO and Cu2O,and CuO could be reduced under X-ray irradiation.However,the initially observed Cu2O was mainly derived from the prepared samples other than generated by X-ray.The influencing factors for the reduction from CuO to Cu2O included the irradiation time and power of X-ray,copper load and sample preparation methods,etc.The results indicated that the reduction percentage for CuO increased gradually with the increase of irradiation time or power of X-ray.In general,the reduction percentage for CuO decreased with the increase of Cu load.The reduction percentage for CuO keeped at the level about 1.2%when the Cu load reached to 3%.The existence of the active component vanadium increased the reduction activity of CuO,while the addition of oxalic acid reduced the reduction activity.This study provided an important reference for the characterization and analysis of Cu modified vanadium denitrification catalyst,and also gave some suggestions for parameter settings and analysis method for other similar X-ray sensitive samples.

摘要:A review on chemical amplification methods and techniques is presented in this paper.Such chemical amplification approaches are introduced by overview of enrichment,buffer amplification,non-aqueous milieu and sequential reaction.Enrichment could obtain higher reagent concentration by pre-concentration.Buffer amplification is achieved by additional enthalpy of buffer proton-producing reactions.Non-aqueous milieu is achieved by temperature rise caused by decrease of specific heat.Sequential reaction has notable increase of total enthalpy contributed by net enthalpy change of each reaction in the cycle.More broadly,recent literatures to address these issues are also introduced.Their applications could help to enhance the test performance of calorimetric system like calorimetric biosensor achieved by improving effective enthalpy change.Taking inherent advantages of robust technique and crude samples detection,calorimetry combined with chemical amplifications is easy to operate,and must have a good propect in trace analysis field.
