The preparation conditions of silica monoliths for gas chromatography were investigated. Silica-based monolithic capillary columns based on sol-gel process were tested in the course of high-speed gas chromatographic separations of light hydrocarbons mixture (C1-C4). The impact of modifying the amount of porogen and/or catalyst on the monolith properties were studied. At the best precursor/catalyst/porogen ratio evaluated, a column efficiency of about 6500 theoretical plates per meter was reached with a very good resolution (4.3) for very light compounds (C1-C2). The test mixture was baseline separated on a 70cm column. To our knowledge for the first time a silica-based monolithic capillary column was able to separate light hydrocarbons from methane to n-butane at room temperature with a back pressure in the range of gas chromatography facilities (under 4.1bar).

Environmental consequences of petroleum mulch application are crucial in regions prone to wind erosion and desertification. This study aimed to assess the long-term effects of petroleum mulching on soil polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) concentrations and the associated human and ecological risk indices. These indices include incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR), hazard index (HI), toxic equivalent concentration (TEQ), toxic unit (TU), and risk quotient (RQ) in soil samples from Khuzestan province, Iran.

High-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) is a life-threatening altitude sickness afflicting certain individuals after rapid ascent to high altitude above 2500 m. In the setting of HAPE, an early diagnosis is critical and currently based on clinical evaluation. The aim of this study was to utilize the metabolomics to identify the altered metabolic patterns and potential biomarkers for HAPE.

Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling offers significant advantages over conventional blood collection methods, such as reduced sample volume, minimal invasiveness, suitability for home-based sampling, and ease of transport. However, understanding the effects of variable storage temperatures and times on metabolite stability is crucial due to varying intervals and delivery conditions between sample collection and metabolomics analysis. To minimize biological variances, all samples were collected from the same individual simultaneously and stored at three different temperatures (4 °C, 25 °C, and 40 °C) for diverse time points (3, 7, 14, and 21 days).
