A new method was developed for preconcentration, derivatisation and analysis of short-chained dodecyl alcohol ethoxylates and dodecyl alcohol. Solid-phase extraction combined with dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction was used for preconcentration of target compounds. Several parameters were optimised including different solid phase extraction sorbents, type and volume of both extracting and dispersive solvents. As a result fast and relatively simple preconcentration method was developed. The analytes were preconcentrated 700 times with the use of small sample volume. The target compounds were derivatised before analysis with the use of newly developed procedure. The derivatisation procedure was made in vial insert and was performed at room temperature with the use of 1-naphthoyl chloride as the derivatisation agent. The developed method was used for the analysis of short-chained dodecyl alcohol ethoxylates and dodecyl alcohol in both sewage effluent from sewage treatment plants and river water samples.

A wearable antifouling electrochemical sensor integrated with an antimicrobial microneedle array for uric acid detection in interstitial fluid.

Anal Chim Acta

Wearable microneedle array (MNA) based electrochemical sensors have gained increasing attention for their capability to analyze biomarkers in the interstitial fluid (ISF), enabling noninvasive, continuous monitoring of health parameters. However, challenges such as nonspecific adsorption of biomolecules on the sensor surfaces and the risk of infection at the microneedle penetration sites hinder their practical application. Herein, a wearable dual-layer microneedle patch was prepared to overcome these issues by integrating an antimicrobial microneedle layer with an antifouling sensing layer.

Exposure to alcohol can induce different degrees of damage to various tissues and organs, and brain is the most vulnerable part affected by alcohol. However, there is no detailed report on whether intermittent alcohol exposure can result in pathological changes in the hypothalamus of adolescent rats and the detailed mechanism. This study investigated pathological changes in the hypothalamus, probed the levels of inflammatory factors, and detected the expression of proteins related to endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) to determine whether ERS is involved in the injury process of the hypothalamus and the protective mechanism of L-3-n-butylphthalide (L-NBP).
