Determination of 35 sulfonamides in pork by magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer-based dispersive solid-phase extraction and ultra-performance liquid chromatography photodiode array method.

Background: Sulfonamide residues in foods of animal origin are potential risks to consumer health, so it is very important to inspect them. Among the previously reported instrumental methods, the best method can only be used to determine at most 22 sulfonamides. Thus, an instrumental method capable of determining more sulfonamide species is desirable.

Determination of fluoroquinolones in chicken muscle by molecularly imprinted graphitic carbon nitride-based solid-phase extraction and ultra-performance liquid chromatography.

A graphitic carbon nitride was synthesised and nalidixic acid (NA) based molecularly imprinted microspheres (MIMs) were polymerised on its surface to create a composite material. After characterisation and evaluation of its absorption ability, the composite was used to prepare a solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridge for purification of fluoroquinolones in chicken muscle, analysed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography. The cartridge showed high absorption capacities (378-559 μg) and high recoveries (92.

Portal venous velocity affects liver regeneration after right lobe living donor hepatectomy.

Objectives: We investigated whether chronological changes in portal flow and clinical factors play a role in the liver regeneration (LR) process after right donor-hepatectomy.

Materials And Methods: Participants in this prospective study comprised 58 donors who underwent right donor-hepatectomy during the period February 2014 to February 2015 at a single medical institution. LR was estimated using two equations: remnant left liver (RLL) growth (%) and liver volumetric recovery (LVR) (%).

Central Pontine Myelinolysis After Living-Donor Liver Transplant: A Report of 2 Cases.

Here, we present 2 patients who developed central pontine myelinolysis after living-donor liver transplant. Both patients had abnormal sodium level before living-donor liver transplant. Patient 1 presented with severe hyponatremia on admission.

Hemodynamic Changes Are Predictive of Coagulopathic Hemorrhage After Living Donor Liver Transplant.

Objectives: Our goal was to evaluate the predictors of coagulopathic hemorrhage after living-donor liver transplant.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 161 patients who had undergone living-donor liver transplant from July 2005 to April 2014 at a single medical institution. Of these patients, 32 developed hemorrhage after transplant.

Comparative factor analysis of the effect of postoperative peripheral parenteral nutrition on recovery of right lobe liver donors.

Objectives: Intensive nutritional support can reduce the catabolic response, improve protein synthesis, and promote liver regeneration. This study examined whether postoperative peripheral parenteral nutrition may improve recovery and reduce the length of hospital stay in right lobe liver donors.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective study, we enrolled liver donors with residual liver volume < 50%.
