Using HLB cartridge for extraction and cleanup, a method for simultaneous determination of 4 tetracycline and 6 quinolone antibiotics in environmental water samples was developed by ultra pressure liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. Using river water and sea water as matrices and carbadox as surrogate, the recoveries and relative standard deviations (RSD, n = 4) were 94.0% - 117.0% and 2.0% - 9.7% for 4 tetracyclines at 20.0 ng/L and 100.0 ng/L spiking levels and 63.6% - 93.9% and 1.6% - 8.1% for 6 quinolones at 5.0 ng/L and 20.0 ng/L spiking levels, respectively. The detection limits were 20.0 ng/L for 4 tetracyclines and 0.4 ng/L for 6 quinolones. The method has been successfully applied to the survey of 10 target antibiotic residues in Jiulong River estuary, Fujian.

Introduction: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is an uncommon, chronic liver disease characterised by fibrosis and strictures of a bile ducts, causing cholestasis. In the long term it can lead to complete stenosis leading in turn to liver cirrhosis. In patients with severe form of the disease, the recommended treatment is liver transplantation.

Background: Growth differentiation factor (GDF)-15 is a pleiotropic cytokine that is associated with appetite-suppressing effects and weight loss in patients with malignancy.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationships between GDF-15 levels, anorexia, cachexia, and clinical outcomes in patients with advanced heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).

Methods: In this observational, retrospective analysis, a total of 344 patients with advanced HFrEF (age 58 ± 10 years, 85% male, 67% NYHA functional class III), underwent clinical and echocardiographic examination, body composition evaluation by skinfolds and dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry, circulating metabolite assessment, Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire, and right heart catheterization.

This study systematically investigated the effect of organic solvent addition on the detection signal intensity of 15 organic pesticides in water using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS). The analysis of chromatographic peak area ratios in ultrapure water (UPW) versus 30% methanol (MeOH)-UPW showed that the adsorption effects (AEs, mainly from injection vials with weaker polarity) were the main factor influencing the detection intensity of the organic pesticides. The AEs varied with pesticide type and concentration, especially for those with high logK values and longer retention times, such as malathion, triadimefon, prometryn, S-metolachlor, diazinon, and profenofos.

Twenty years ago, it was difficult to imagine the use of nucleic acids in plant protection as insecticides, but today it is a reality. New technologies often work inefficiently and are very expensive; however, qualitative changes occur during their development, making them more accessible and work effectively. Invented in 2008, contact oligonucleotide insecticides (olinscides, or DNA insecticides) based on the CUAD (contact unmodified antisense DNA) platform have been substantially improved and rethought.
