Determination of urinary 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine by capillary electrophoresis with molecularly imprinted monolith in-tube solid phase microextraction

Urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine(8-OHdG) is an excellent marker of oxidative DNA damage.In this study,employing guanosine as dummy template a novel molecularly imprinted(MIP) monolithic capillary column had been synthesized,and that was used as medium of in-tube solid phase microextraction(SPME).Coupled with capillary electrophoresis-electrochemical detection(CE-ECD),the system of extraction and detection of 8-OHdG in urinary sample had been developed.Because of its greater phase ratio combined with c...

Solid phase microextraction chemical biopsy tool for monitoring of doxorubicin residue during in vivo lung chemo-perfusion

Development of a novel in vivo lung perfusion(IVLP)procedure allows localized delivery of high-dose doxorubicin(DOX)for targeting residual micrometastatic disease in the lungs.However,DOX delivery via IVLP requires careful monitoring of drug level to ensure tissue concentrations of this agent remain in the therapeutic window.A small dimension nitinol wire coated with a sorbent of biocompatible morphology(Bio-SPME)has been clinically evaluated for in vivo lung tissue extraction and determination of DOX and its key metabolites.The in vivo Bio-SPME-IVLP experiments were performed on pig model over various(150 and 225 mg/m^(2))drug doses,and during human clinical trial.Two patients with metastatic osteosarcoma were treated with a single 5 and 7 μg/mL(respectively)dose of DOX during a 3-h IVLP.In both pig and human cases,DOX tissue levels presented similar trends during IVLP.Human lung tissue concentrations of drug ranged between 15 and 293 μg/g over the course of the IVLP procedure.In addition to DOX levels,Bio-SPME followed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis generated 64 metabolic features during endogenous metabolite screening,providing information about lung status during drug administration.Real-time monitoring of DOX levels in the lungs can be performed effectively throughout the IVLP procedure by in vivo Bio-SPME chemical biopsy approach.Bio-SPME also extracted various endogenous molecules,thus providing a real-time snapshot of the physiology of the cells,which might assist in the tailoring of personalized treatment strategy.

Porous covalent organic frameworks-improved solid phase microextraction ambient mass spectrometry for ultrasensitive analysis of tetrabromobisphenol-A analogs

Owing to frequent environmental monitoring of tetrabromobisphenol-A(TBBPA)analogs and their potential ecotoxicological effects on organisms,analysis of trace levels of TBBPA analogs with more non-polar and less water-soluble characteristics is of great significance for studying their environmental behaviors and toxic effects.Herein,a fast and sensitive technique is developed for directly detecting aqueous TBBPA analogs,including TBBPA mono(allyl ether)(TBBPA-MAE),TBBPA mono(2,3-dibromopropyl ether)(TBBPAMDBPE),TBBPA mono(2-hydroxyethyl ether)(TBBPA-MHEE)and TBBPA mono(glycidyl ether)(TBBPAMGE),by combining solid phase microextraction(SPME)based on porous covalent organic frameworks(Porous-COFs)with constant flow desorption ionization-mass spectrometry(CFDI-MS).As chromatographic separation is replaced by constant flow desorption,each sample can be analyzed within 7 min.The hierarchical porous structures(microporous,mesoporous and macroporous)of COFs lead to the enhanced mass transfer and the easier accessibility of active sites to TBBPA analogs,so that the extraction efficiency is 2.3-3.6 times higher than pure microporous COFs,and far superior to commercial coatings.The detection limit and quantification limit of this method are 0.1-1 and 0.4-3.2 ng/L,respectively.Ultratrace levels of TBBPA analogs from 5.0 ng/L to 66 ng/L have been successfully detected in river and sea water samples,showing great potential for subsequent studies of their environmental behaviors and toxicological effects.

Metabolomic fingerprinting of porcine lung tissue during pre-clinical prolonged ex vivo lung perfusion using in vivo SPME coupled with LC-HRMS

Normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion(NEVLP)has emerged as a modernized organ preservation technique that allows for detailed assessment of donor lung function prior to transplantation.The main goal of this study was to identify potential biomarkers of lung function and/or injury during a prolonged(19 h)NEVLP procedure using in vivo solid-phase microextraction(SPME)technology followed by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry(LC-HRMS).The use of minimally invasive in vivo SPME fibers for repeated sampling of biological tissue permits the monitoring and evaluation of biochemical changes and alterations in the metabolomic profile of the lung.These in vivo SPME fibers were directly introduced into the lung and were also used to extract metabolites(on-site SPME)from fresh perfusate samples collected alongside lung samplings.A subsequent goal of the study was to assess the feasibility of SPME as an in vivo method in metabolomics studies,in comparison to the traditional inlab metabolomics workflow.Several upregulated biochemical pathways involved in pro-and antiinflammatory responses,as well as lipid metabolism,were observed during extended lung perfusion,especially between the 11th and 12th hours of the procedure,in both lung and perfusate samples.However,several unstable and/or short-lived metabolites,such as neuroprostanes,have been extracted from lung tissue in vivo using SPME fibers.On-site monitoring of the metabolomic profiles of both lung tissues through in vivo SPME and perfusate samples on site throughout the prolonged NEVLP procedure can be effectively performed using in vivo SPME technology.

Estimation of the Postmortem Interval Using Chromatographic Fingerprints of Volatile Organic Compounds from Muscle

Estimation of the postmortem interval(PMI)is a crucial task in the field of forensic pathology and has unfortunately not been properly resolved.In this study,we analyzed volatile organic compounds(VOCs)in rat muscle samples collected at different PMIs and studied the feasibility of muscle VOC fingerprinting as a new method for PMI estimation.In total,110 rats were sacrificed and stored at a constant temperature(25℃).Rat skeletal muscle samples were collected at 0-10‑day postmortem,and then the VOCs were determined using a method of headspace solid‑phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography‑mass spectrometry.The correlations between the VOCs(species and quantities)and PMIs were carefully analyzed and standard muscle VOC fingerprints at 25℃were established for different PMIs.To further test the accuracy of muscle VOC fingerprinting as a method for PMI estimation,ten additional rats with known PMIs were studied.We identified 15 kinds of VOCs and the number of VOC species increased with the PMI.The total peak areas of the VOCs increased significantly with the postmortem day(adjusted R^(2)=0.96-0.97).The mean error of the VOC fingerprinting for PMI estimation was 0.5 days and the mean relative error was 8.33%.We concluded that muscle VOC fingerprinting combining the use of VOC species and peak areas is accurate and effective and could be used as an alternative approach for PMI estimation in forensic practice.Although the preliminary results are encouraging,further studies in human cadavers under real case conditions are needed.
