New methods of ion interaction reagent (IIR) RP-HPLC are presented for the determination of anti-tuberculosis drugs and their metabolites, singly or in multi-component mixtures, in biological fluids. The following analytes are considered: isoniazid, ethionamide, pyrazinamide, morphazinamide, p-aminosalicylic acid, nicotinic and isonicotinic acids. Aqueous solutions of three different ion interaction reagents are alternatively or comparatively used as the mobile phases, namely: (A) 5.00 mM octylamine at pH 3.00 for o-phosphoric acid, (B) 5.00 mM octylamine at pH 8.00 for o-phosphoric acid, and (C) 5.00 mM 1,6 diaminohexane at pH 6.00 for o-phosphoric acid. The response linearity between peak area and analyte concentration is verified for all the analytes in the concentration range within the determination limits and 2.00 mg/l. Detection limits are always lower than 82 microg/l for standard solutions; in the analysis of samples of rat serum, rat plasma and human serum, the matrix effect is negligible, the detection limits are always lower than 94 microg/l and the average recovery yield is always greater than 96%.

Tissue microenvironments are extremely complex and heterogeneous. It is challenging to study metabolic interaction between the different cell types in a tissue with the techniques that are currently available. Here we describe a multimodal imaging pipeline that allows cell type identification and nanoscale tracing of stable isotope-labeled compounds.

Near-infrared wavelength-selective soft actuators have attracted much attention for applications in microsystems in bioliving. It is desirable for the photothermal conversion materials in the actuators to be downsized to the molecular scale. However, in conventional actuator materials using copolymer gels composed of thermosensitive and photothermal conversion molecule-coordinated monomers, the strong cross-linking of molecules in the networks impairs the actuator deformation.

Herein, pine needles derived spherical nanocellulose (SNC) was combined with aniline to form SNC-polyaniline (SNC-PANI), followed by modification with montmorillonite (MMT) to form SNC-PANI-MMT composite. The as-synthesized materials were characterized by FTIR, XRD, XPS, TGA, FESEM, and EDS and evaluated for the simultaneous adsorption of cationic and anionic dyes, malachite green (MG), and Congo red (CR) from MG-CR mixture, and fuchsin basic (FB) and methyl orange (MO) from FB-MO mixture. Non-linear kinetics of adsorption showed the anionic dyes, CR and MO to follow pseudo-first order kinetics with 91.

In this study, the interaction of waste snake skin (Periostracum serpentis), a keratin-based biowaste composite material, with uranyl ions, the predominant form of uranium in aqueous solutions, was investigated to determine whether it could be used as an adsorbent. SEM, FTIR, BET and EDX analyses were performed to elucidate the material's surface and structural properties. The effects of the amount of adsorbent, uranyl ion concentration, pH, temperature, and adsorption time were investigated to optimize uranium removal with this material.

The γ-carboxylation of glutamate residues enables Ca-mediated membrane assembly of protein complexes that support broad physiological functions including hemostasis, calcium homeostasis, immune response, and endocrine regulation. Modulating γ-carboxylation level provides prevalent treatments for hemorrhagic and thromboembolic diseases. This unique posttranslational modification requires vitamin K hydroquinone (KH) to drive highly demanding reactions catalyzed by the membrane-integrated γ-carboxylase (VKGC).
