气相色谱-质谱分析血清代谢组前处理中的除蛋白及衍生方法

采用气相色谱-质谱联用技术(GC-MS),对代谢组学研究中血清样本的前处理方法进行考察,研究蛋白去除和衍生化两个步骤对血清代谢物分析的影响。对血清样本和质控(Quality control,QC)样本的图谱进行峰相对标准偏差(RSD)计算,全谱主成分分析(Principal components analysis,PCA)和信息量的计算以及代谢物的定性定量分析。结果表明,QC样本和血清平行样的峰面积RSD均小于10%,PCA分析结果及信息量计算结果都表明这些前处理方法重复性及可靠性良好,适用于代谢组学研究。4种前处理方法所得代谢图谱的PCA分析结果表明不同除蛋白试剂和衍生化试剂对代谢物谱存在不同的影响,其中衍生化试剂的影响大于除蛋白试剂的影响。信息量计算显示MSTFA组图谱的信息量(约8.9)大于BSTFA组的信息量(约8.7)。对血清样本定性共得到44种代谢物,MSTFA组血清样本特有代谢物5种,BSTFA血清样本特有代谢物6种。对定性结果进行分析后建议:当需要研究极性氨基酸和短链脂肪酸时,采用BSTFA作衍生化试剂较合适;而当需要研究非极性氨基酸和长链脂肪酸时,采用MSTFA作衍生化试剂较合适。

The homogeneity of heavy metal deposition on glass fibre filters collected using a high-volume sampler in the vicinity of an opencast chrome mine complex at Kemi,Northern Finland

The homogeneity of heavy metal (Cr, Ni, Cu, Fe and Cd) distribution on glass fibre filters (Munktell MG 160, 203 x 254 mm, 75 g m(-2)) collected using a high-volume sampler (Wedding & Associates) at an opencast chrome mine complex at Kemi, Northern Finland was studied. The heavy metals in the total suspended particulate (TSP) material were analysed by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) or graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). The glass fibre filters were digested in a microwave oven using a mixture of aqua regia+HF acids. There was significant non-uniform distribution of heavy metals on glass fibre filters. The TSP material containing chromite was very difficult to dissolve by acid digestion. The results from X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and from energy filtering transmission electron microscope (EFTEM) equipped with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer (EDS), showed that insoluble residue left after microwave oven digestion with aqua regia+HF acids was probably partly due to chemical reactions occurring during microwave heating.     

The continental component of a Pacific Marine aerosol: Identification by combined neutron activation analysis and scanning electron microscopy with X-ray analysis

The relative merits and sampling requirements of instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analysis as applied to the continental component of marine aerosols are discussed. When correlated with air mass information, the quantitative INAA data on the concentrations of 15 major and minor elements in the continental dust fraction provides information on the geochemical type and location of the land source. Although the SEM/EDS technique provides only qualitative concentrations for 6 additional elements in the aerosol, the important feature of single particle analysis enables more nearly synoptic interpretation of aerosol composition and concentration. A combined INAA and SEM/EDS study of the aerosol samples is therefore preferred.     

Quantitative Analysis of Ti-Si-Ge/Si-Ge/Si Structures by EDS and AES

 A method for quantitative analysis of Ti-Si-Ge/Si-Ge/Si structures with submicron thick layers by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) in transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) was developed. Quantitation of the results of both AES and EDS techniques was performed on the basis of a single reference specimen for the Ti-Si-Ge system comprising a uniform layer of the Ti(Si_0.85Ge_0.15)₂ phase on a silicon substrate. The reference sample was prepared by the same procedure as the samples used in the study, and was thoroughly characterized by X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy in scanning electron microscopy. Using this reference sample the elemental sensitivity factors relative to Si were found for both techniques, which enable us to obtain the elemental depth distributions for the studied samples. Good agreement between the results obtained by EDS/TEM, AES and supplementary techniques was found.     

A facile method for dye and heavy metal elimination by pH sensitive acid activated montmorillonite/polyethersulfone nanocomposite membrane

Modified clay/polyethersulfone (PES) mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) were prepared by acid activated montmorillonite (AA-MMT) with different concentrations and used to eliminate dyes and remove heavy metals from aqueous solution.The morphology and physiochemical properties of prepared clay nanoparticles and MMMs were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD),Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy,scanning electron microscopy (SEM),enegy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy,Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis,atomic force microscopy (AFM),contact angle measurement and fouling studies.The filtration study showed that removal of dyes and heavy metals was strongly dependent on pH so that dyes with positive and negative charges showed different separation efficiency in acidic and alkaline conditions.The modified membranes possessed better heavy metal removal in acidic and alkaline pHs.When the rejection of heavy metals was measured in an alkaline environment,it was observed that the rejection had a great increase compared to the neutral values for Zn2+ and Ni2+ ions,while rejection of Cu2+ and Cd2+ did not undergo significant changes.So it can be concluded that modified membranes show good selectivity for elimination of Zn2+ and Ni2+ ions with respect to other cations.     

Reflective Light Properties of Tissue Layers in Beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) Leaves

Abstract— Reflective light properties of various tissue layers (adaxial epidermis, palisade and spongy parenchyma and abaxial epidermis) of beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) leaves were measured using paradermal (parallel to epidermis) and transverse sections in the visible and infrared spectral bands by a high-resolution reflectance cytophotometer. Results showed an increment of reflectances of rest leaves following successive removal of paradermal tissue layers (adaxial epidermis, palisade parenchyma, abaxial epidermis). Reflectances of palisade parenchyma with spongy parenchyma and abaxial epidermis increased linearly in the infrared and green spectral bands with increasing chloroplast count. The enhancement of paradermal reflectances with successive removal of paradermal tissue layers was due to various optical effects of tissue/cell layers, whereby removal of paradermal tissue layers containing light absorbers, e.g. chloroplasts/chlorophyll-protein complexes, is of importance. The parabolic relationships found between lateral reflectances and distances of various tissue/cell layers from adaxial epidermis indicated lateral reflectances of the mesophyll to be governed mainly by selective chlorophyll absorb-ances of light according to Lambert-Beer's law.     

Soft X‐ray emission electron microscopy: chemical state microscopy from interface and bulk

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has long been a workhorse of materials science and provides information on morphology, structure and elemental composition. However, information as to the chemical state of the elements is only available for deep lying core levels of the heavy elements and not the light elements. Whilst considerable advances have been made in high‐resolution wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), electron microscopy in the soft X‐ray region of ≈ 50–1500 eV is lacking. We present first results for a combined instrument of a soft X‐ray emission (SXE) spectrometer together with a spatially resolving (<100 nm) electron gun.

Quantitative analysis of precious metals in automotive shredder residue/combustion residue via EDX fluorescence spectrometry

The recovery of precious metals from automotive shredder residue (ASR) dust/combustion residue is an option that is not usually considered due to the lack of available information. Therefore, before any disposal or recovery application can be considered, it is necessary to determine the significance of the levels and distribution of precious metal in ASR dust/ASR combustion residue. In the present study, quantitative analysis of precious metals (Pt, Pd, Au, Ag and Cu) in the ASR residue samples was performed using energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) fluorescence spectrometer. With the fundamental parameter (FP) method, the X-ray intensity is obtained and the quantitative analysis is performed using theoretical calculation. This method is very effective for quantitative analysis of unknown samples without standard samples. Further, in order to analyse the precious metal distribution within the ASR combustion residues, the microstructural characterisation and elemental mapping were also carried out with the aid of field emission scanning election microscopy combined with electron dispersive spectroscopy (FE-SEM EDS). Significant amount of Pt, Pd, Au, Ag and Cu element concentrations in the ASR residue were identified. Total precious (Pt, Pd, Au, Ag and Cu) metals obtainable values are representing about 12.23 wt% from its initial ASR dust/combustion residues. Considering their relevant concentrations, these metals should be properly recovered for recycling purposes before to dispose or landfill.
