The protective role of circ_0016760 downregulation against sevoflurane‑induced neurological impairment via modulating miR‑145 expression in aged rats.

Sevoflurane can produce toxicity to the hippocampal tissues of brain, leading to nerve damage, causing learning and cognitive dysfunction. CircRNAs have been indicated to act as a key mediator in anesthetic neurotoxicity. This study focused on the effect of circ_0016760 on sevoflurane‑induced neurological impairment.

Determination of arsenic species in Solanum Lyratum Thunb using capillary electrophoresis with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

A simple and highly efficient interface to couple capillary electrophoresis with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry by a microflow polyfluoroalkoxy nebulizer and a quadruple ion deflector was developed in this study. By using this interface, six arsenic species, including arsenite, arsenate, monomethylarsonic acid, dimethylarsinic acid, arsenobetaine, and arsenocholine, were baseline-separated and determined in a single run within 11 min under the optimized separation conditions. The instrumental detection limit was in the range of 0.
