The effect of sample containers made of different materials on the MS-based analysis of oligonucleotides remains unknown. Here, we evaluated five types of sample containers on the MS signal stability of oligonucleotide, and they were normal glass insert, silanized glass insert with three different silanization techniques, and polypropylene sample vial. Also, we attempted to tackle signal stability issue by varying modifiers in dissolution solvent. Our results showed that sample containers made of different materials can significantly influence the MS signal stability of oligonucleotide at low concentration. Triethylamine (TEA) evidently improved both the signal stability and intensity of oligonucleotide.

The I38T substitution in the influenza virus polymerase-acidic (PA) subunit is a resistance marker of concern for treatment with the antiviral baloxavir marboxil (BXM). Thus, monitoring PA/I38T mutations is of clinical importance. Here, we developed three rapid and sensitive assays for the detection and monitoring of the PA/I38T mutation.

Challenges of cannabidiol determination in emulsified cosmetics and application of solid-phase extraction followed by HPLC-UV-MS/MS.

Anal Bioanal Chem

Forensic Laboratory of Biologically Active Substances, Department of Chemistry of Natural Compounds, University of Chemistry and Technology, Technická 5, 166 28, Prague 6, Prague, Czech Republic.

The recent surge in popularity of cannabidiol-infused products extends beyond food and supplements to the cosmetic industry. Accurate labeling remains a significant concern, as many products fail to meet advertised cannabidiol content and/or contain psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol above the permissible levels. In this work, we present the use of an HPLC-UV-MS/MS method for the quantification of five major cannabinoids (cannabidiol, cannabidiolic acid, tetrahydrocannabinol, tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, and cannabigerol) in oil-in-water cosmetic emulsions.

Chronic Radium-226 Bioaccumulation and Toxicity in the Aquatic Invertebrate Daphnia magna.

Arch Environ Contam Toxicol

January 2025

Toxicology Centre, University of Saskatchewan, 44 Campus Drive, Saskatoon, SK, S7N 5B3, Canada.

Mining operations in Canada, including uranium mining and milling, generate by-products containing radionuclides, including radium-226 (Ra), a long-lived, bioaccumulative calcium (Ca) analog. Despite strict discharge regulations, there is limited evidence to suggest that current thresholds for Ra adequately protect aquatic organisms. Furthermore, Canada lacks a federal water quality guideline for Ra, underscoring the need for protective limits to safeguard aquatic ecosystems.

Lysoglycerophospholipid metabolism alterations associated with ambient fine particulate matter exposure: Insights into the pro-atherosclerotic effects.

The biological pathways connecting ambient fine particulate matter (PM)-induced initial adverse effects to the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases are not fully understood. We hypothesize that lysoglycerophospholipids (LysoGPLs) are pivotal mediators of atherosclerosis induced by exposure to PM. This study investigated the changes of LysoGPLs in response to PM exposure and the mediation role of LysoGPLs in the pro-atherosclerotic effects of PM exposure.

Study Question: Is elevated plasma molybdenum level associated with increased risk for idiopathic premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)?

Summary Answer: Elevated plasma molybdenum level is associated with an increased risk of idiopathic POI through vascular endothelial injury and inhibition of granulosa cell proliferation.

What Is Known Already: Excessive molybdenum exposure has been associated with ovarian oxidative stress in animals but its role in the development of POI remains unknown.

Study Design, Size, Duration: Case-control study of 30 women with idiopathic POI and 31 controls enrolled from August 2018 to May 2019.
