Immunoaffinity Column Clean-Up and Liquid Chromatography with Post-Column Derivatization for Analysis of Aflatoxins in Traditional Chinese Medicine

A rapid tandem mass spectrometric (MS-MS) method for the quantification of gabapentin (GBP) in human plasma using 4-phenyl-4-aminobutanoic acid as an internal standard (IS) has been developed and validated. The drug and the internal standard were analyzed, by flow injection analysis without chromatographic separation, using a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water-formic acid (50:50:0.025, v/v/v) at a flow rate of 0.1 mL min^?1. The run-cycle time was <3 min injection-to injection. Quantitation was achieved using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) scan at MRM transitions m/z 172 > 154 and m/z 180 > 117 for GBP and the IS, respectively. Ion suppression study indicated practically no suppressive effect of plasma constituents on the mass ions detection of GBP and IS, when measured in MRM scanning mode. Calibration curves were linear over the concentration range of 0.1–10 μg mL^?1 (r > 0.999) with a limit of quantification of 0.1 μg mL^?1 (RSD%; 7.6 and % DEVs; ?3.0 to +17.0%). Validation data showed that the RSD% values were in the range of 1.85 to 13.06%, whereas, the % DEVs values ranged from ?1.4 to +10.0% indicating good precision and accuracy. Analytical recoveries of GBP from spiked human plasma were in the range of 98.9 to 101.3%. On the other hand, recoveries of GBP from stored human plasma samples were in the range of 100.0 to 107.5% indicating that GBP was stable in plasma, with no appreciable degradation, when stored at ?20 °C. The developed method was applied for GBP monitoring in plasma samples of patients treated with GBP.     

THE MAXIMUM EFFICIENCY OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS *

Within the ideal assumptions: (1) two Photosystems for photosynthetic fixation of CO₂, (2) all solar photons with Λ≥ 700 nm are absorbed, (3) the photon requirement is 8 for each CO₂ molecule fixed and O₂ molecule evolved and (4) the principal stable product of photosynthesis is d-glucose, the theoretical maximum efficiency of conversion of light to stored chemical energy in green-plant type (oxygen-evolving) photosynthesis in bright sunlight is calculated to be 13.0%. Thermodynamic arguments are presented which indicate that a photosynthetic system with one Photosystem would be highly unlikely to be able to drive each electron from water to evolve O₂ and reduce CO₂. The practical maximum efficiency of photosynthesis under optimum conditions is estimated to be 8–9%.     

Approximation methods in the computer numerically controlled fabrication of optical surfaces, Part 2: mollifications

The process of grinding and polishing optical surfaces usinga Computer Numerically Controlled machine produces a machinematerial removal profile. The profiles achievable by the machinedepend on the nature of the tool used in the process, and thetool center motions. In this paper machine material removalprofiles are developed as mollifications of given workpieceprofiles for a variety of tool configurations. The form of themollilication, in effect, defines the tool center motion. Convergenceof the machine's material removal profile to the given workpieceprofile as the support of the tool goes to zero is establishedunder mild assumptions. Numerical examples are included.

Development of a sensitive and reliable high performance liquid chromatography method with fluorescence detection for high-throughput analysis of multi-class mycotoxins in Coix seed

As an edible and medicinal plant, Coix seed is readily contaminated by more than one group of mycotoxins resulting in potential risk to human health. A reliable and sensitive method has been developed to determine seven mycotoxins (aflatoxins B₁, B₂, G₁, G₂, zearalenone, α-zearalenol, and β-zearalenol) simultaneously in 10 batches of Coix seed marketed in China. The method is based on a rapid ultrasound-assisted solid–liquid extraction (USLE) using methanol/water (80/20) followed by immunoaffinity column (IAC) clean-up, on-line photochemical derivatization (PCD), and high performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD). Careful optimization of extraction, clean-up, separation and detection conditions was accomplished to increase sample throughput and to attain rapid separation and sensitive detection. Method validation was performed by analyzing samples spiked at three different concentrations for the seven mycotoxins. Recoveries were from 73.5% to 107.3%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) lower than 7.7%. The intra- and inter-day precisions, expressed as RSDs, were lower than 4% for all studied analytes. Limits of detection and quantification ranged from 0.01 to 50.2 μg kg⁻¹, and from 0.04 to 125.5 μg kg⁻¹, respectively, which were below the tolerance levels for mycotoxins set by the European Union. Samples that tested positive were further analyzed by HPLC tandem electrospray ionization mass spectrometry for confirmatory purposes. This is the first application of USLE-IAC-HPLC-PCD-FLD for detecting the occurrence of multi-class mycotoxins in Coix seed.     

ZnII and CdII Metal Organic Frameworks Based on 2-Methyl-6-oxygen-1,6-dihydro-3,4'bipyridine-5-carbonitrile

To investigate the coordination chemistry of modbc (2-methyl-6-oxygen-1,6-dihydro-3,4'-bipyridine-5-carbonitrile) with Zn^II and Cd^II salts under the solvothermal conditions, six new MOFs with the formulas [Zn(modbc)₂(mpa)]_n ( 1 ), [Zn(modbc)(mpa)(H₂O)]_n ( 2 ), [Zn(modbc)(pa)_0.5(H₂O)]_n ( 3 ), [Cd(modbc)(pa)_0.5(H₂O)]_n ( 4 ), [Zn(modbc)₂(tpa)]_n ( 5 ), and [Cd(modbc)₂(pda)(H₂O)]_n ( 6 ) (mpa = m-phthalic acid; pa = pyromellitic acid; tpa = terephthalic acid; pda = pentane diacid) were successfully synthesized by solvothermal reaction and fully characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, single crystal, powder X-ray diffraction, thermal and photoluminescence properties. Though MOFs 3 and 4 have the same structure, we have obtained three different kinds of coordination configurations by the X-ray diffration analysis. Compared with 1 and 2 , coordination water has no effect on the solid fluorescence emission of MOFs. It is worth noting that the fluorescence intensity of 3 containing central Zn^II atoms is very strong, whereas that of isomorphism 4 containing central Cd^II atoms has almost no fluorescence emission, showing that metal ions have very important influence on the fluorescence emission. Further, we found that solvents had an important effect on the fluorescence emission in liquid fluorescence of MOFs 1 – 6 .
