Determination of acetone, hexanal and heptanal in blood samples by derivatization with pentafluorobenzyl hydroxylamine followed by headspace single-drop microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry

In the study, we developed a simple, rapid, sensitive, and inexpensive method for determination of the disease biomarkers of acetone, hexanal and heptanal in human blood. For the first time, derivatization of carbonyls with O-2,3,4,5,6-(pentafluorobenzyl)hydroxylamine (PFBHA) was combined with headspace single-drop microextractin (HS-SDME) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and applied to the analysis of acetone, hexanal, and heptanal in human blood. At first, acetone, hexanal and heptanal in blood were derivatized with PFBHA and formed oximes in several seconds. Sequentially, the oximes were headspace extracted and concentrated by a microdrop solvent. Finally, the extracted oximes were analyzed by GC–MS. HS-SDME conditions and method validations were studied. Due to needing of only 2 μl organic solvent, short extraction time of 8 min, and simple operation, derivatization-HS-SDME was shown to be a rapid, simple, and inexpensive technique for analysis of acetone, hexanal, and heptanal in human blood. Moreover, it had low detection limit values from 0.24 to 0.62 nM, and good reproducibility (R.S.D. less than 12%).

对７１例确诊为不同阶段的佝偻病患儿同时进行观察血液中微量元素锌、铜、铅以及血清钙、磷、碱性磷酸酶的变化。结果表明，佝偻病组的血铸、血钙、血磷均低于正常组，血铅、ＡＫＰ高于正常组，血铜则两组无大差异，但铜／锌比值正常组为０．２２±０．６３明显低于佝偻病组０．３６±０．５５，ｔ＝３．２０，Ｐ＜０．０５．各期佝偻病微量元素的变化与正常儿对比，在佝偻病的初期血磷略低于正常，血锌明显减少，碱性磷酸酶升高。在疾病的激期钙、磷、锌明显低于正常，碱性磷酸酶及铅升高，恢复期各元素基本恢复正常。     

Quantitative determination of paraffin oil in blood by capillary gas chromatography

A capillary gas chromatographic method is described for the quantitative determination of liquid paraffin in blood. Paraffin is extracted from blood into n-heptane. After solvent evaporation and dissolution of the residue in 100–200 μl n-heptane one μl is injected into a gas chromatograph fitted with a fused silica capillary column (Permabond® OV-1-CB-0.1, 10 m × 0.32 mm i.d.) and flame ionization detector. Analysis is performed by using an oven program [50°C (3 min)?285°C (5 min), rise 10%min]. The sensitivity (1.5 ng hexadecane) and the reproducibility prove the applicability of the method for the determination of liquid paraffin in blood and for the study of the stability of the liquid paraffin hollow fiber membranes used in an extracorporeal liver support system.     

CHARACTERIZATION OF AMPHIPHILIC AND MICROPHASE SEPARATED GRAFT COPOLYMERS Ⅱ SURFACE CHARACTERIZATION AND IN VITRO BLOOD-COMPATIBILITY ASSESSMENT OF POLYSTYRENE-GRAFT-ω-STEARYLPOLY (ETHYLENE OXIDE)*

This paper reported the research results concerning the surface characterization ofpolystyrene-graft-w-stearyl poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-g-SPEO) by means of XPS,contactangle measurement and TEM, and its in vitro blood compatibility assessment by measuringthe plasma recalcification time (RT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT). The XPSresults demonstrated that the surface and bulk composition of the PS-g-SPEO graftcopolymers differ remarkably from each other,and that SPEO component was constantlyenriched at the copolymer/air interface. Contact angle studies indicated that the surfacewater wettability can be adjusted effectively by changing the composition of the copolymer.PS-g-SPEO graft copolymers can undergo microphase separation as clearly illustrated byTEM photographs. The relationship between the surface properties of PS-g-SPEO graftcopolymer and its blood compatibility was also discussed.     

Determination of d-glucose in undiluted whole blood using chemically modified electrodes and segmented sample injection in a flow system

A flow system for the determination of d-glucose in undiluted whole blood, in which segmented sample injection and on-line dialysis are used to decrease the red cell volume fraction (haematrocrit) dependence, is described. Glucose is degraded enzymatically by means of immobilized glucose dehydrogenase. The nicotinamide coenzyme (NAD⁺) that is present in the solution is reduced in the enzymatic reaction and is reoxidized amperometically at 0 mV vs. Ag/AgCl on a graphite electrode, modified with phenoxazinium ion. The potential use of the system for clinical analysis is evaluated.     

Topical Problems in the Biosynthesis of Red Blood Pigment

Uroporphyrinogen III plays a key role in the biosynthesis of heme, the red pigment of blood. In vivo studies with specifically ¹⁴C- and ³H-labeled precursors have revealed that the formation uroporphyrinogen III in the organism follows several primary and subsidiary pathways. Model experiments on the pattern of biosynthesis have led to simple and effective methods of synthesizing uroporphyrin analogs and have shown that their production is strongly favored thermodynamically. The biologically porphyrins important thus available permit a mechanistic explanation of the light-induced dermatoses in porphyria diseases and suggest promising medical applications in diagnosis and therapy.     

Quantification of tripdiolide in human whole blood by liquid chromatography coupled with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry

A liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) assay was developed and validated to determine tripdiolide in human whole blood using dexamethasone acetate as an internal standard (I.S.). Liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate was used to isolate them from the biological matrix. Detection was performed on a mass spectrometer coupled with a negative atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) in the multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The calibration curve was linear (r² = 0.9973) in the concentration range of 0.5-100.0 ng/mL in human whole blood with a lower limit of quantification of 0.5 ng/mL. Intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations (R.S.D.s) were less than 7.0 and 10.1%, respectively. Extraction recoveries of tripdiolide ranged from 80.5 to 90.1%. This assay can be used to determine trace tripdiolide in human whole blood.     

Cyclic Voltammetry in a Perfluorocarbon Emulsion Blood Substitute

Cyclic voltammetry in a perfluorocarbon emulsion based blood substitute (PEBS) was evaluated. The intent was to determine how PEBS affects the voltammetry of four representative electroactive compounds: potassium ferricyanide, ruthenium(II) trisbipyridine (rutris), hydroquinone, and 2,6‐dichloroindophenol (DCIP). Voltammograms in 0–20% PEBS‐Tris buffer mixtures are affected by PEBS, but reasonably well‐defined voltammograms are obtained in as much as 20% v/v. This report also shows that PEBS has only a small effect on amperometric detection of the reaction between DCIP and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), which has importance in clinical homogeneous immunoassays. Results support continued exploration of voltammetry/amperometry for quantitative analysis in this medium.     

Practical and quality-control aspects of multi-element analysis with quadrupole ICP–MS with special attention to urine and whole blood

Two screening methods were developed for rapid analysis of a great number of urine and blood samples within the framework of an exposure check of the population after a firework explosion. A total of 56 elements was measured including major elements. Sample preparation consisted of simple dilution. Extensive quality controls were applied including element addition and the use of certified reference materials. Relevant results at levels similar to those found in the literature were obtained for Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr, Cd, Sn, Sb, Ba, Tl, and Pb in urine and for the same elements except Ni, Sn, Sb, and Ba in blood. However, quadrupole ICP–MS has limitations, mainly related to spectral interferences, for the analysis of urine and blood, and these cause higher detection limits. The general aspects discussed in the paper give it wider applicability than just for analysis of blood and urine—it can for example be used in environmental analysis.
