In this study, we developed a determination method for hydrazine in the air. Hydrazine was derivatized with p-dimethyl amino benzaldehyde (DBA) to yield p-dimethylaminobenzalazine, which was subjected to liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis. The derivative exhibited good sensitivity in the LC/MS/MS analysis, and its instrument detection limit and instrument quantification limit were 0.

In the anesthetic management of patients with von Willebrand's disease, it is important to provide appropriate airway management, taking into account the cutaneous laxity caused by neurofibromatosis of Recklinghausen's disease. This case describes the perioperative management of a patient with Recklinghausen's disease with suspected difficulty in airway management.

Their biological effects largely depend on their cellular origin and the physiological state of the originating cells. Exosomes secreted by mesenchymal stem cells exert therapeutic effects against multiple diseases and may serve as potential alternatives to stem cell therapies.
