A new interface for the on-line coupling of a liquid chromatograph to a stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer has been developed and tested. The interface is usable for (13)C/(12)C determination of organic compounds, allowing measurement of small changes in (13)C abundance in individual analyte species. All of the carbon in each analyte is quantitatively converted into CO(2) while the analyte is still dissolved in the aqueous liquid phase. This is accomplished by an oxidizing agent such as ammonium peroxodisulfate. The CO(2) is separated from the liquid phase and transferred to the mass spectrometer. It is shown that the whole integrated process does not introduce isotope fractionation. The measured carbon isotope ratios are accurate and reproducible. The sensitivity of the complete system allows isotope ratio determination down to 400 ng of compound on-column. By-passing the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation allows bulk isotopic analysis with substantially lower sample amounts than those required by conventional elemental analyzers. The results of the first applications to amino acids, carbohydrates, and drugs, eluted from various types of HPLC columns, are presented. The wide range of chromatographic methods enables the analysis of compounds never before amenable to isotope ratio mass spectrometry techniques and may lead to the development of many new assays.

Background: Programmed cell death 1/programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1)-based immune checkpoint blockade is an effective treatment approach for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, immunohistochemistry does not accurately or dynamically reflect PD-L1 expression owing to its spatiotemporal heterogeneity. Herein, we assessed the feasibility of using a Ga-labeled anti-PD-L1 nanobody, Ga-NODAGA-NM-01, for PET imaging of PD-L1.

Compound-specific stable isotope analysis (CSIA) using liquid chromatography-isotope ratio mass spectrometry (LC-IRMS) is a powerful tool for determining the isotopic composition of carbon in analytes from complex mixtures. However, LC-IRMS methods are constrained to fully aqueous eluents. Previous efforts to overcome this limitation were unsuccessful, as the use of organic eluents in LC-IRMS was deemed impossible.

Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) is a highly expressed and structurally unique target specific to prostate cancer (PCa). Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in nuclear medicine, coupling PSMA ligands with radionuclides, have shown significant clinical success. PSMA-PET/CT effectively identifies tumors and metastatic lymph nodes for imaging purposes, while -PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) has received FDA approval for treating metastatic castration-resistant PCa (mCRPC).

To compare the diagnostic value of fluorine 18-labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT PRIMARY score and PSMA expression score for clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). The data of 70 patients with prostate cancer who underwent radical prostatectomy at Beijing Hospital from February 1, 2019 to February 29, 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. All patients underwent whole body F-PSMA PET/CT examination before surgery and pathological large sections of prostate specimens were made after surgery.

The nun moth, L. (Linnaeus, 1758), is one of the most important defoliators of coniferous forests in Europe and Asia. In sexual communication, females produce three epoxides and an alkene: (-)-disparlure [(7,8)--7,8-epoxy-2-methyloctadecane], (+)-monachalure [(7,8)--7,8-epoxyoctadecane], (-)-monachalure [(7,8)--7,8-epoxyoctadecane], and their corresponding olefins.
