A phenyl-hybrid monolithic adsorbent was prepared using an organic monomer of ethylene glycol phenyl ether acrylate and inorganic monomers of tetramethoxysilane and vinyltrimethoxysilane, via polycondensation and polymerization in a stainless-steel column, which shows porous structure and multiple functional groups, according to the measurements of scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption-desorption method and infrared spectroscopy. The resulting hybrid phenyl-based monolith was used as a solid-phase extraction column, combining with an analytical column in conjunction with high-performance liquid chromatography system for the on-line extraction and determination of coumarins (praeruptorin A and praeruptorin B) in Peucedani Radix from mouse plasma. The homemade hybrid monolithic solid-phase extraction column exhibits good removal ability for the sample matrices, as well as unique selectivity for the two praeruptorins. Methodology validation results indicate that the present method is applicable for the on-line extraction and quantitative analysis of praeruptorin A and praeruptorin B in Peucedani Radix from mouse plasma with a limit of quantitation 0.06 μg/mL and a linear range 0.06-5 μg/mL (r>0.999), thus indicating the present method is a promising and alternative method for the quantitative determination of similar target components with micro or trace concentration from complex extract solution and plasma.

Background And Aims: The opioid crisis continues to exert a tremendous toll in North America, with existing interventions often falling short of addressing ongoing needs. Psychedelics are emerging as a possible alternative therapy for mental health and substance use disorders. This study aimed to gather insights on how people use or are considering using psychedelics to manage opioid use disorder (OUD), how these experiences are perceived to impact opioid use and what these lessons imply for future research and practice.

Changes in chemical composition during food processing and handling are crucial for the alteration of food flavor and function, and accurate characterization of key chemical reaction pathways in complex food matrices is one of the core challenges in food chemistry research. Here, this study attempts to establish a strategy for sensitive characterization of chemical reactions during food processing based on on-line extraction electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (oEESI-MS). The process of making garlic into black garlic, a traditional global flavor food, was chosen as an exemplary research template.

In order to study the change rule of freshness and acid ions in reconstituted tobacco slurry, the content changes of 17 organic acids and 5 inorganic anions in reconstituted tobacco slurry with different residence times under confined condition were determined by on-line solid-phase extraction ion chromatography in this study. The results showed that the changes of acetic acid, nitrate ion and isovaleric acid in different reconstituted tobacco slurries with oscillation time were regular and consistent, and the trends of the changes of acetic acid, nitrate ion and isovaleric acid in different reconstituted tobacco slurries with oscillation time were correlated with each other in a highly significant way. Taking the evaluation of olfactory aroma and sensory quality qualities of reconstituted tobacco pulps with different residence times as a benchmark, it was found that the variation patterns of nitrate ions and isovaleric acid in reconstituted tobacco pulps with oscillation time were consistent with the variation patterns of olfactory and sensory qualities in the process of closed oscillation; compared with the fresh pulp, the olfactory aroma and sensory qualities of tobacco pulps had unpleasant odours appearing when the content of nitrate ions was reduced by about 48%.

Mycotoxins are detectable in 60-80% of food crops, posing significant threats to human health and food security, and causing substantial economic losses. Most mitigation approaches focus on detecting mycotoxins with standard methods based on liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Typical MS methods require extensive sample preparation and clean-up due to the matrix effect, followed by time-consuming LC separation, complicating the analysis process and limiting analytical throughput.

Rationale: Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) is a powerful method for identifying viruses via nucleic acid detection. The data processing method is critical in recognizing nucleic acid obtained by MALDI-TOF-MS. Therefore, new development of data algorithm is needed for virus identification.
