A new cation-exchange HPLC method is described for the separation and quantitation of abnormal human Hbs. The method makes use of Synchropak CM 300, a silica support with carboxylic acid residues, and Bis-Tris-KCN-Na-acetate developers and allows a completion of the chromatogram in 50 to 90 min depending on the sample to be analyzed. Specific chromatographic profiles have been obtained for several beta, alpha, and delta chain variants. The method is useful not only for the quantitation of Hb F and Hb A2 (except in the presence of Hb E) but also provides easy differentiation between simple heterozygotes for a specific abnormality and persons with the same abnormality together with an additional beta-thalassemia heterozygosity. Probably the most important application of the new procedure is in the quantitation of Hb A and the beta chain variants S, C, O-Arab, and E in cord blood samples, thus facilitating the diagnosis of conditions such as AE, EE, AS, SS, S-beta +thal, AC, CC, C-beta +thal, SC, and SO in newborn babies.

The presence of pesticide residues in textiles poses a risk to human health. We established a robust and high-throughput liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of 115 pesticide residues in textiles. In this study, we evaluated high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry conditions and sample extraction methods, including separation performance of different columns, mass conditions, extraction solvent, and extraction time.

In the present study, dispersive solid phase extraction - hydride generation integrated with micro-sampling gas-liquid separator - flame atomic absorption spectrometry was proposed to determine lead in lake water samples taken in the Horseshoe Island, Antarctica. In scope of this study, microwave assisted NiFeO nanoparticles were synthesized, and the characterization of nanoparticles were carried out by FT-IR, XRD and SEM. All influential parameters of dispersive solid phase extraction and hydride generation were optimized to enhance signal intensity belonging to the analyte.

E-selectin (CD62E) is an adhesion molecule expressed on the surface of endothelial cells (ECs) and its level increases significantly upon the stimulation of ECs by inflammatory factors. Quantitative analysis of CD62E is of great importance to early diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases and hypertension. A new method for the determination of CD62E was developed using a portable pH meter in this work.

Resorcinol is a widespread substance used in a large variety of manufacturing industries, including cosmetics, with endocrine-disrupting activity on the thyroid function. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate a sensitive, selective and robust method to quantify resorcinol in urine and thereby assess hairdressers' occupational exposure. As resorcinol is mainly excreted in urine as glucuronide or sulfate forms, the first step consisted in hydrolyzing urine samples with a β-glucuronidase-arylsulfatase enzyme for 16 h.

Background/objectives: Both hyperandrogenism (HA) and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) can separately lead to impaired vascular reactivity and ovulatory dysfunction in fertile females. The aim was to examine the early interactions of these states in a rat model of PCOS.
Methods: Four-week-old adolescent female rats were divided into four groups: vitamin D (VD)-supplemented ( = 12); VD-supplemented and testosterone-treated ( = 12); VDD- ( = 11) and VDD-and-testosterone-treated ( = 11).
