To evaluate the safety of food for pets, the migration of chemical substances from pet tableware was investigated by mass spectrometry. The presence of polymer additives Irgafos 168 and Erucamide were suspected based on mass spectra and were confirmed to be present in polypropylene tableware. The amount of substances migrated using simulated saliva was examined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry after solid phase extraction and purification. Photoionization was found to be suitable for the simultaneous determination of these substances. The detection limits of the established method were 0.019 μg/mL for Irgafos 168 and 0.022 μg/mL for Erucamide. Five different types of pet tableware purchased in local markets were examined and no analytes were detected in the simulated saliva using shaking extraction. In this study, the risk to pets from the substances migrated from pet tableware was considered to be sufficiently low.

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have emerged as a silent menace, infiltrating groundwater systems worldwide. Many countries, preoccupied with tackling legacy pollutants, have inadvertently neglected the emerging threat of PFAS. This review provides an exhaustive analysis beyond the current state of knowledge and sustainable pathways vis-a-vis addressing PFAS in groundwater systems globally.

Substance migration in the synthesis of single-atom catalysts.

Substance migration is universal and crucial in the synthesis of catalysts, which directly affects their existing form and the micro-structure of their active sites. Realizing migration during the synthesis of single-atom catalysts (SACs) is beneficial for not only increasing their metal loading capacity but also manipulating the electronic structures (coordination structure, long-range interactions, ) of their metal sites. This review summarizes the thermodynamics and kinetic processes involved in the synthesis of SACs to unveil the fundamental principles involved in their synthesis.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix is an important traditional Chinese medicine used for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. Our previous studies have shown that Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix can inhibit vascular intimal hyperplasia and improve the blood vessel wall's ECM deposition, among which six main active components can be absorbed into the blood, suggesting that these components may be the main pharmacodynamic substances of Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix against vascular intimal hyperplasia.

Aim Of The Study: A mouse model of atherosclerosis was used to study the relationship between the anti-intimal hyperplasia effect of Astragali Radix-Angelicae Sinensis Radix and the inhibition of VAF activation and ECM synthesis.
