A novel automatic stepwise injection headspace single-drop micro-extraction system is proposed as a versatile approach for automated determination of volatile compounds. The system application is demonstrated for ammonia determination in concrete samples. An ammonia gas was produced from ammonium ions and extracted on-line into 5 μL 0.1M H3PO4 to eliminate the interference effect of concrete species on the ammonia stepwise injection spectrophotometric determination. The linear range was 0.1-1 mg kg(-1) with LOD 30 µg kg(-1). The sample throughput was 4 h(-1). This system has been successfully applied for the determination of ammonia in concretes.

Objective: To investigate effectiveness of a novel suture method-stepwise progressive ultra-tension-reducing suture method in closing high-tension wounds on the chest, back, and limbs.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 25 patients with high-tension wounds on the chest, back, and limbs who were treated with stepwise progressive ultra-tension-reducing suture method between January 2022 and December 2022. Among the patients, there were 8 males and 17 females, with an average age of 30.

To identify baseline characteristics that predict visual outcomes after a lapse in treatment among patients with diabetic macular edema (DME) who received intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injections. In this retrospective study, patients with DME who had lapses in treatment of 3 months or longer were separated into 2 groups (stable vision, n = 201; vision loss, n = 61) based on an Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study vision loss threshold of 10 letters. Stepwise backward logistic regression was used to analyze baseline factors associated with vision loss and to create a predictive algorithm.

Background: Our team recently published outcomes of a novel technique for the administration of Collagenase Clostridium histolyticum (CCH), which resulted in improved curvature outcomes and reduced number of CCH injections required.
Aim: To provide a detailed and illustrated description of our CCH-administration technique.
Methods: A descriptive summary is provided of the technique, including drug administration, protocol modifications, and post-treatment protocols.

The specific binding of a drug to the receptor is a prerequisite for its action. The equilibrium dissociation constant (K) is an important parameter for measuring the strength of drug-receptor interactions. Cell membrane chromatography (CMC) is a powerful way to determine the K value; however, the common disadvantage is that the attenuation of biological activity with the analysis process leads to corresponding errors in comparing K values of a series of drugs.
