To seek a precise and simple method for localization of acupoint in anatomical experiment teaching. Medical bone needles were inserted into acupoints. Then, self-mode copper probe needles were thrust along the center of the bone needles to open the inner structures of acuppoints.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFA simple and efficient method, ionic liquid-based ultrasound-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction, has been developed for the determination of three biogenic amines including octopamine (OCT), tyramine (TYR) and phenethylamine (PHE). Fluorescence probe 2,6-dimethyl-4-quinolinecarboxylic acid N-hydroxysuccinimide ester was applied for derivatization of biogenic amines and high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection was used for the determination of the derivatives. The factors affecting the extraction efficiency, such as the type and volume of ionic liquid, ultrasonication time and centrifugation time have been investigated in detail.
