A new, selective and simple UPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the determination of lifitegrast in human plasma and tear in order to obtain PK data. Lifitegrast-d4 solutions were added in the samples, and then were extracted and transferred to a UPLC vial. The respective working ranges were 25.

Liposome encapsulating cytarabine (CYT) and daunorubicin (DNR) is applied for treating Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) patients. To evaluate and compare relationship between the pharmacokinetics of free drug (drug which is not entrapped in liposomes) and liposome-encapsulated drug and the toxicity/efficacy, it is crucial to have trustworthy methods for separating the free and the encapsulated of the drug. In this study, methods were developed and validated to isolate and measure the free DNR/CYT (F-DNR/CYT), the encapsulated DNR/CYT (E-DNR/CYT) and the total DNR/CYT (T-DNR/CYT) in rat plasma.

Ischemic stroke is a complex vascular disease, which has become 1 of the major causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. More and more data showed that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), in particular, MMP-2 are deleterious after ischaemic stroke. This study investigated the relationship between MMP-2 and stroke risk in the Southern Chinese population.

Methods: An HPLC-DAD-MS technique was employed to detect tetramethylpyrazine in 27 CX and 10 JCX samples.
Objective: To evaluate the chemical changes in Chuanxiong raw material (CX), the rhizome of Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort., during CX storage and further assess its quality variety.
Methods: Four CX samples were sealed and stored at ambient temperature in room for two years.

For the endogenous substances with an ultra-low level in biological fluids, such as melatonin, the blank biological matrix is obviously not "blank". This problem leads to a serious issue of the bioanalytical methods development and validation by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). This work developed and validated an ultra-high sensitive bioanalytical method for plasma melatonin by LC-MS/MS using water as calibration matrix.

Two aerobic, non-motile and non-sporulating bacteria, strains LY1( T) and L462, were recovered from a hot spring located in the Qianshan area of north-eastern China. The novel strains had Gram-negative cell walls and grew at 30-66 degrees C (optimum 55-60 degrees C) and pH 5.5-10.
