Seventy-six treatment-naive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1-infected patients were recruited from Korea and China to evaluate transmitted drug resistance (TDR). Although no major TDR was observed within the study population, some resistance-associated mutations in the reverse transcriptase region were observed (V118I 9.2%, V179D 7.9%). The frequencies of resistance-associated mutations in NNRTI (V179D) and PI minor mutations were higher in Korean patients compared with Chinese patients (13.6% vs. 0%, 45.5% vs. 12.5%, p < 0.05). Although unique clustering was observed in phylogenetic analyses according to geographic sources, cautious monitoring is recommended due to increasing TDR reports in this area where the population shares close geographic and cultural aspects.

Sample preparation using deep eutectic solvents in combination with nanomaterials in analytical procedures: A review.

Anal Chim Acta

February 2025

School of Pharmacy, Sungkyunkwan University, Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, 16419, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Background: Sample preparation can be a critical stage of analytical procedures that profoundly influences their performance, environmental impact, and overall efficiency. While nanomaterials have revolutionized sample preparation owing to their high surface area-to-volume ratios, tunable surface chemistry, and enhanced adsorption capacities, limitations persist. Researchers have ushered in a new era of efficient sample preparation methodologies that could overcome the limitations of nanomaterials by introducing deep eutectic solvents (DESs), which have unique advantages such as low volatility and toxicity, biodegradability, and tunability.
