Coiled tube field-flow fractionation (CTFFF) is currently applied to environmental and material studies. In the present work, a novel zone elution mode in CTFFF has been proposed and developed. Zone elution mode is based on the separation of particles by stepwise decreasing the flow rate of the carrier fluid and their subsequent elution at a constant flow rate. The fractionation parameters were optimized using a mixture of standard silica submicron particles (150, 390, and 900 nm). Taking samples of volcanic ash as examples, it has been demonstrated that zone elution mode can be successfully used for the fractionation of environmental nano- and submicron particles. For the first time, CTFFF was coupled online with a dynamic light scattering detector for the size characterization of eluted particles. Zone elution in CTFFF can serve for the further development of hyphenated techniques enabling efficient fractionation and size/elemental characterization of environmental particles in nano- and submicrometric size ranges.

Cation exchange chromatography (CEX) is commonly used to separate aggregates from monomers during the industrial manufacturing of recombinant proteins. However, the similar isoelectric point of aggregates and monomers makes the stepwise elution CEX an unstable process. In this study, the performance robustness of sodium chloride stepwise elution and cationic buffers (histidine and Bis-Tris) stepwise elution were compared through Monte Carlo simulation.

Background: Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) antibiotic-laden bone cement (ALBC) is commonly used in total joint arthroplasty to treat and potentially prevent prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Multiple properties impact the elution characteristics of antibiotics from PMMA-based ALBC, including viscosity. What is not known is how medium-viscosity cement formulations affect antibiotic elution and how different cement products from different manufacturers compare regarding reaching the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of antibiotics for common PJI-causing organisms in an in vitro setting.

Background: The optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for patients with coronary multi-vessel disease (MVD) who have received drug-eluting stents (DES) remains unclear.
Hypothesis And Methods: The Dual Antiplatelet Therapy in Patients with Coronary Multi-Vessel Disease (DAPT-MVD) study is a multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial designed to assess the efficacy and safety of extended DAPT in MVD patients 12 months following DES implantation. We plan to enroll 8250 patients across approximately 100 sites in China.

Trifoliate yam (Dioscorea dumetorum) is traditionally used to treat diabetics in Nigeria. However, almost no information is available on its antidiabetic constituents and their natural variance. Hence, the activity of methanolic tuber extracts of 67 trifoliate yam accessions from the largest collection in Africa was proven by four colorimetric antidiabetic and antioxidant in vitro assays, as diabetes is also linked with oxidative stress.

With the increased interest in lignin valorization, the analytical challenge to separate a complex mixture of a vast number of phenolics has made chromatography an indispensable step in lignin analysis. High-resolution separations, such as gas chromatography, reversed-phase liquid chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography have typically been targeting low-molecular-weight compounds, while larger lignin oligomers have received less attention. These compounds have proven to be difficult to separate due to the inherent complexity of the high-molecular-weight fraction of lignins, in fact, even high-resolving linear reversed-phase gradients elute them as one wide zone.
