We present a method based on electrospray liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for determining in muscle and eggs the following nine coccidiostats: halofuginone, diclazuril, dinitrocarbanilide (the main metabolite of nicarbazin), robenidine, monensin, lasalocid, narasin, salinomycin, and maduramicin. Dinitrocarbanilide-d8, nigericin, and diclazuril-bis were used as internal standards. The method uses extraction in acetonitrile followed by a clean-up on an SiOH solid-phase extraction column. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation was performed on a Purospher C(18) column (125 mm x 3 mm i.d.) protected by a guard column, the mobile phase being a water-acetonitrile gradient (each gradient component containing 0.1% formic acid) at a flow rate of 1 ml min(-1). For unequivocal identification of each analyte, two ions were detected and chosen for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Validation was carried out on spiked muscle and egg samples. The method described meets all the criteria of Decision 2002/657/EC and is easy to use in routine analysis. Validation results are presented with the measured CCalpha and CCbeta values. This whole method allows extraction and analysis of up to 24 samples per day.

Background: Most oligonucleotide bioanalytical assays currently only quantify the pharmacologically-active antisense strand, though there have been recent efforts to simultaneously quantify the sense strand using hybridization ELISA or solid phase extraction LC-MS. Hybrid LC-MS, which offers both high sensitivity and specificity unlike the currently used platforms, has not been applied to quantify both siRNA strands simultaneously.
Materials & Methods: A hybrid LC-MS assay utilizing LNA capture probes was developed and applied to quantify both strands of a 21-mer lipid-conjugated siRNA (SIR-3) using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).

Objective: Chronic chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is a long-lasting side-effect of oxaliplatin. Vitamin B6 might play a role in the pathogenesis of CIPN. Therefore, we investigated associations between plasma vitamin B6 markers and the occurrence and severity of chronic CIPN in patients with non-metastatic colorectal cancer (CRC).

The present investigation assessed the risk of dietary exposure to four mycotoxins, namely aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), aflatoxin G1 (AFG1), ochratoxin A (OTA), and patulin (PAT) via fruit juice consumption for Iranian consumers. In 96 fruit juice samples obtained from Iran market, mycotoxins levels were determined using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Also, probabilistic health risk assessment was conducted in terms of tolerable daily intake percentage (%TDI) and under cancer risk scenarios.

Introduction: Brucellosis, a significant zoonotic infectious disease, poses a global health threat. Accurate and efficient diagnosis is crucial for prevention, control, and treatment of brucellosis. VirB proteins, components of the Type IV secretion system (T4SS) in , play a pivotal role in bacterial virulence and pathogenesis but have been understudied for their diagnostic potential.

Background: Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide, with uterine atony accounting for approximately 70% of PPH cases. However, there is currently no effective prediction method to promote early management of PPH. In this study, we aimed to screen for potential predictive biomarkers for atonic PPH using combined omics approaches.
