Objective: To investigate factors affecting the determination of the percent carboxyhemoglobin saturation (HbCO%) of blood in an attempt to offer further data for results interpretation and sample storage requirement.
Methods: The HbCO% of blood samples stored in various conditions were detected by three spectrophotometries during the succeeding 30 days.
Results: The data detected by reductive double-wavelength spectrophotometry and double-wavelength spectrophotometry were more stable than mono-wavelength spectrophotometry. The HbCO% of blood was significantly related with the storage conditions which include temperature, time and the degree of exposure to air.
Conclusion: Determinations of HbCO% are reliable which performed by reductive double-wavelength spectrophotometry and double-wavelength spectrophotometry, combine with spectral scans. During 30 days, blood stored at 4 degrees C exposed to a limited volume of air does not influence the determination of HbCO%.

The aim of this study was to examine the effects of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) from Urechis unicinctus on the P2Y1 receptor pathway and expression of related factors in rat platelets. The concentration of calcium ion (Ca) in rat platelets was determined by double wavelength Fura-2 fluorescence spectrophotometry, and the concentrations of inositol trisphosphate (IP) and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa) in rat platelets were measured using the enzymatic immunoassay method. The phosphorylation levels of phospholipase C (PLC), phospholipase A (PLA), protein kinase C (PKC), and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38MAPK) were also detected by Western blot.

The measurement of blood carboxyhemoglobin (CO-Hb) is important to determine the cause of death. The AVOXimeter 4000 (AVOX), a portable CO-oximeter, has the advantages of a low purchase price and operating cost, ease of operation, and rapid results. Little information is available on the usefulness of AVOX in the forensic sample, and the previous study investigated only six samples.

Spatial diffusion reflection (DR) measurements of gold nanorods (GNR) were recently suggested as a simple and highly sensitive non-invasive and non-ionizing method for real-time cancer detection. In this paper we demonstrate that wavelength dependent DR measurements enable the spectral red-shift observation of highly concentrated GNR. By conjugating targeting moieties to the GNR, large density of GNR can specifically home onto cancer cells.

Objective: To develop a method for the determination of harpagide and harpagoside in Scrophulariae Radix (Xuanshen) by HPLC-UV under double wavelength, and to study the changes of these two constituents during processing, and to set the limitation of harpagide and harpagoside contents in crude drug and sliced pieces of Xuanshen.
Method: The analyses were performed on an Agilent Technologies ZORBAX SB-C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) eluted with acetonitrile-water (containing 0.
