Detection of caffeine and its main metabolites for early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease using micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography

Caffeine (CA) is a common xanthine alkaloid found in tea leaves, coffee beans, and other natural plants, and is the most widely used psychotropic substance in the world. Accumulating evidence suggests that low plasma levels of CA and its metabolites may serve as reliable diagnostic markers for early Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. In this study, we demonstrated a new MEKC method for determining CA and its three main downstream metabolites, paraxanthine (PX), theobromine (TB), and theophylline (TP), in human plasma. Plasma samples were collected, and analyzed using MEKC, after SPE. The running buffer was composed of 35 mM phosphate, pH of 10.5, and 25 mM SDS. The separation voltage was 15 kV and the detection wavelength was at 210 nm. Under the optimum conditions, four distinct analytes were completely separated and detected in less than 12 min. Method limits of detection were as low as 7.5 ng/mL for CA, 5.0 ng/mL for TB, and 4.0 ng/mL for both PX and TP. The recoveries were between 88.0% and 105.9%. This method was successfully applied to 27 human plasma samples. The results indicate that the plasma concentrations of the four analytes are significantly lower in patients with early PD than in control subjects (p < 0.05). The area under curve was improved to 0.839 when CA and its three main metabolites were included, suggesting that MEKC testing of CA, TP, TB, and PX may serve as a potential method for early diagnosis of PD.

低碳钢塑性变形量磁评定法研究

针对塑性变形量评定的局限问题,基于铁磁材料塑性变形致位错在不同方向分布不同的现象,研究了磁测法在定量评定低碳钢塑性变形量方面的应用前景。实验以工程中常用的低碳钢Q195钢板为测试材料,制作了形状尺寸一致的一批试件,并对其进行了不同程度的塑性变形量加载。通过搭建的磁化检测系统,采用相同强度及频率的正弦波激励,对所有样品进行了不同方向的磁化;同时经线圈及隧道磁敏电阻(TMR)采集了每次磁化的磁化曲线,提取了磁化曲线特征参数,对比了其与塑性变形量的定量关系。结果表明:随着塑性变形量的增加,铁磁钢材在同一磁场强度下产生的磁感应强度也会变大;沿主塑性变形方向磁化时,磁滞消耗能量最少,沿主塑性变形垂直方向磁化时,磁滞消耗的能量最多;磁路内磁场在主塑性变形方向上对塑变量的变化最敏感,而磁路外磁场在主塑变垂直方向上对塑变量的变化最敏感。实现了铁磁材料磁特征参数与塑性变形量的定量关联。本研究为开发简捷的铁磁材料塑性变形量无损评定磁方法奠定了基础。
