A SPE-LC-MS/MS method for the determination of ketamine (KET) and norketamine (NKET) was developed and validated. Extensive pulverization (25min at 25Hz) of previously cooled samples (5min in liquid nitrogen) allowed for extraction in a phosphate buffer (pH 6) solution after 10min vortex agitation at room temperature, simplifying the coupling of the extraction to an effective mixed-mode SPE (solid phase extraction) clean-up procedure. The extraction optimization was performed with samples fortified by drug incorporation according to a published procedure involving incubation of blank matrices for 16days. The method was validated for selectivity, matrix effect, linearity, LLQ (lower limit of quantification), precision, accuracy, recovery, carryover and stability after preparation and has proven to be accurate and reliable within a range of 0.02-10ng/mg for KET and 0.04-4ng/mg for NKET, meeting proposed KET cutoffs for discrimination from chronic use. In addition, the method was sensitive enough to detect the drugs after unique small (1mg/kg) intravenous doses received by patients submitted to general anesthesia before surgical procedures. Ketamine levels varied from 0.060 to 0.111ng/mg and norketamine was positive (

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive soft tissue ablation technique, which utilizes ultrasound energy to induce thermal coagulation necrosis in targeted tissues. Whether this high energy causes side effects in vivo, such as the formation of peptide bonds, has not been fully investigated. Glycylglycine is the simplest dipeptide and hence is often used as a model compound for peptide studies.

The accumulation of perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs) in environment and foods represents a significant threat to public health due to the long-term ingestion of contaminated food. This study introduces a novel adsorbent, the hierarchical porous hydrophilic molecularly imprinted resin (HPHMIR), which was synthesized by integrating molecular imprinting techniques with hydrophilic resins. The HPHMIR, characterized by its extensive mesoporous structure (average pore width ∼9.

Long-term sample stability of five atypical antipsychoticdrugs risperidone, paliperidone, clozapine, quetiapine and olanzapine and the antidepressant drug mirtazapine in serum was studied by use of a newly developed and validated analytical method based on solid-phase extraction and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Ascorbic acid was used as an antioxidative agent to stabilize olanzapine during storage and sample preparation. We assessed analyte stability on long-term storage in serum samples at 25°C, 5°C, -20°C and -80°C, and during five freeze-thaw cycles.

S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) is the most important S-nitrosothiol in vivo, which could affect the quality of meat by participating in calcium release, glucose metabolism, proteolysis and apoptosis, therefore may potentially serve as a marker for meat freshness. In this work, a solid-phase extraction (SPE) monolithic spin column modified with gold nanoparticles was prepared for GSNO extraction. The optimized SPE-LC-MS/MS method for GSNO quantification displays low limit of detection (0.

Neonicotinoid pesticides are a relatively new class of pesticides that have garnered significant attention owing to their potential ecological risks to nontarget organisms. A method combining solid phase extraction with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-LC-MS/MS) was developed for the rapid and accurate detection of eight neonicotinoid pesticides (dinotefuran, -nitenpyram, thiamethoxam, clothianidin, imidacloprid, imidaclothiz, acetamiprid, and thiacloprid) in wastewater. The chromatographic mobile phase and MS parameters were selected, and a single-factor method was used to determine the optimal column type, extraction volume, sample loading speed, and pH for SPE.
