Published: June 2012

A modified QuEChERS and LC-MS/MS method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of residues of six neonicotinoids in various crops, including spinach, cucumber, apple and pomelo. The method showed good linearity (R(2) ≥ 0.9995) and precision (RSD ≤ 14.0%). Average recoveries of the six neonicotinoids ranged between 73.7% and 103.8% at spiking levels 0.005, 0.1 and 1 mg kg(-1). The LODs and LOQs were in the ranges of 0.20-0.85 μg kg(-1) and 0.66-2.84 μg kg(-1), respectively. The method was satisfactorily validated for the analysis of 50 agricultural samples. Imidacloprid and imidaclothiz were detected at concentration levels ranging from 7 to 5.3 μg kg(-1).

Triolimus is a multi-drug loaded polymeric micelle containing paclitaxel (PTX), 17-allylamino-17-demethoxygeldanamycin (17-AAG), and rapamycin (RAP). This study examines the radiosensitizing effect of Triolimus in vitro and in vivo. Radiosensitizing effects of Triolimus on A549 cells are dose dependent and at 2 × 10 m, Triolimus shows significant radiosensitization even at low radiation doses (2 Gy).

Aims: The primary aim of this study was to describe the pharmacokinetics of total and unbound bupivacaine and ropivacaine following epidural bolus and infusion in neonates and young infants. Secondary aims were to investigate the influence of alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AAG) on the concentration-time profiles and to determine the efficacy and adverse event profile of the epidural regimen.

Methods/materials: Thirty-one infants aged 40-63 weeks of postmenstrual age (PMA) undergoing hernia repair or abdominal surgery received an epidural injection of 1.
