Sample pretreatment using solid-phase extraction (SPE) on cartridges filled with small-particle Styrosorb porous polystyrene-based sorbent has been used in the analysis of propranolol enantiomers in human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescent detection. SPE on Sep-Pak C18 cartridges was used as a reference pretreatment method. The propranolol content of the samples was determined by achiral normal-phase HPLC and the enantiomeric ratio of propranolol (S/R) was then determined by chiral HPLC on a column with silica-bonded cellulose-tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate). Recoveries of propranolol from serum using SPE on Styrosorb and C18 phases were 97 +/- 5% and 96 +/- 5%, respectively. Detection and quantification limits for propranolol enantiomers were 4 and 7 ng/ml, respectively.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are carcinogenic compounds resulting from incomplete burning of organic materials. This work describes the successful layer-by-layer fabrication of a novel zinc oxide nanocomposite made of zinc oxide nanoparticles, aniline, sodium dodecyl sulfate, and modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes on a stainless steel wire by electrodeposition. The coating and extraction conditions were screened, optimized, and validated using factorial design and central composite design, respectively.

: Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a serious condition caused by ruptured intracranial aneurysms, resulting in severe disability mainly in young adults. Cerebral vasospasm is one of the most common complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage; thus, active prevention is key to improve the prognosis. The glycosylation of proteins is a critical quality attribute which is reportedly altered in patients diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke.

The signature of human serum IgG glycosylation is critical in the defense against pathogens. Alterations of IgG N-glycome were associated with COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) severity, although knowledge on the response to vaccination is limited. IgG N-glycome was analyzed in this study in post-COVID-19 and post-vaccination patients to reveal potential glycosylation-based alterations using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC-UPLC) with fluorescence (FLR) and mass-spectrometric (MS) detection.

The presence of traces of herbicides in ground and surface waters can have adverse impacts on humans and the environment. Therefore, developing a highly selective and reusable adsorbent for monitoring water quality has become important. This article describes smart green molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) as selective sorbents of S-metolachlor herbicide for solid phase extraction (SPE).
