However, the concrete definition of simultaneous extraction is vague and there is little accurate theoretical support for the simultaneous extraction of coal and gas, which makes it difficult to determine an efficient gas drainage method appropriate to the features of coal seams. Based on theoretical analysis, laboratory tests and field observations, a specific definition of simultaneous extraction of coal and gas is proposed after analyzing the characteristics of coal seam occurrences in China, and we developed the mechanism of mining-enhanced permeability and established the corresponding theoretical model. This comprises a process of fracture network formation, in which the original fractures are opened and new fractures are produced by unloading damage. According to the theoretical model, the engineering approaches and their quantitative parameters of ＇unloading by borehole drilling＇ for single coal seams and ＇unloading by protective seam mining＇ for groups of coal seams are proposed, and the construction principles for coal exploitation and gas-drainage systems for different conditions are given. These methods were applied successfully in the Tunlan Coal Mine in Shanxi Province and the Panyi Coal Mine in Anhui Province and could assure safe and efficient simultaneous extraction of coal and gas in these outburst coal mines.展开更多

Extraction conditions for solid-phase micro-extraction were optimized with information theory. Then, detection were accomplished by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Characteristic of each method was compared. Qualitative analysis and quantitative analysis of 6# tobacco flavor sample were accomplished through both simultaneous distillation extraction and solid-phase micro-extraction. The experimental results show that solid-phase micro-extraction method is the first choice for qualitative analysis and simultaneous distillation extraction is another good selection for quantitative analysis. By means of simultaneous distillation extraction, 20 components are identified, accounting for 92.77% of the total peak areas. Through solid-phase micro-extraction, there are 17 components identified accounting for 91.49% of the total peak areas. The main aromatic components in 6# tobacco flavor sample are propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-, ethyl ester, menthol and menthyl acetate.

The method was compared with simultaneous distillation and extraction (SDE). Temperature and pressure for the SFE were optimized. The extracts obtained by the two methods showed different characters in composition and represented differently the flavor characteristics of tobacco; compared to SDE, SFE can extract compounds within a shorter time and avoid the thermal degradation and solvent contamination of samples. The extracts by the two extraction methods are complementary for investigating the flavor characteristic of tobacco products.展开更多

A total of 70 components were identified by HSSPME, including 20 esters, 19 hydrocarbons, 5 alcohols, 5 ketones, 4 acids, 4 lactones, 3 aldehydes, and 10 miscellaneous components, with the esters being the dominant constituent. On the basis of the odor unit values, it is believed that the following compounds probably contributed to the fresh apricot odor： hexyl acetate, β-ionone, butyl acetate, （E）-2-hexenal, linalool, limonene, γ-decalactone, and hexanal. A total of 49 components were also detected by SSDE, including 13 hydrocarbons, 9 alcohols, 7 aldehydes, 9 esters, 4 ketones, 4 lactones, 2 acids, and 1 miscellaneous component, of which the monoterpene alcohols were the dominant constituents. It could be judged from the odor unit values that the following compounds were the major contributors to boiled apricot aroma： β-ionone, linalool, hexyl acetate, γ-dodecalactone, γ- decalactone, （E）-2-hexenal, hexanal, γ-octalactone, phenylacetaldehyde, butyl acetate, limonene, α-terpineol, and δ-decalactone. The results show that HS-SPME is a simple, rapid, and solvent-free method, which is an alternative to the classical SSDE.展开更多

By using a 85% aqueous acetone solution containing 1.0 mol/L HCl as extractant, extraction of resveratrol and emodin from P. cuspidatum and conversion of resveratrol-3-O-β-glucoside and emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside into the products could be achieved in one step. The effects of several key parameters including concentration of HCl and acetone, temperature, ratio of solvent to material, extraction duration and extraction times on the process efficiency was systematically investigated. The results showed that the optimal conditions for maximizing the recovery yield were 85% acetone containing 1.0 mol/L HCl as extractant, temperature 70 ℃, ratio of liquid to solid 50 mL /g and extraction duration 30 min. This one-pot extraction/hydrolysis process increased the yield of resveratrol and emodin to 524% and 302%, respectively, compared to a raw sample without hydrolysis. Compared with conventional method, the developed process not only achieved high yield of resveratrol and emodin, but simplified the procedures and reduced time. The results demonstrated that the simultaneous extraction/hydrolysis process is simple and efficient which could act as a useful approach for enhanced recovery of resveratrol and emodin from P. cuspidatum.展开更多

Atomic absorption spectrometry （AAS） and X-ray powder diffraction （XRD） were used to determine the heavy metal concentrations and examine the mineralogy of the crystalline phases, respectively. The AVS loadings in sediments from Baihua Lake ranged from 64.30 to 350.08 ~rnol/g （dry weight）. The corresponding SEM levels for the sampling sites varied from 1.770 to 14.660 vrnol/g. The molar ratio of SEMs to AVS ranged from 0.014 to 0.084 with a mean value of 0.034. The XRD analysis also confirmed the presence of some metal sulfides in sediments from Baihua Lake. The SEMs/AVS ratios for all sampling sites were significantly lower than 1.0, indicating that AVS in the sediments was sufficient to bind the five heavy metals; thus, these heavy metals are currently not significantly bioavailable to benthic organisms. Comparing the SEMs results to published guideline values for metal toxicity to benthic organisms in sediments, however, suggests that Zn and Ni pose a risk at some sampling locations in Baihua Lake.展开更多

The high stability and accumulation of OP in aquatic systems have caused endocrine disruption. The OP in surface water in Jinan, China was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS） coupled with solid phase extraction （SPE）. Water samples were extracted by SPE on a cartridge system containing C-18 as sorbent. To increase sensitivity and selectivity, OP was derivatized to 4-tert-octyl-phenoxy silane. With the use of phenanthrene-d10 as internal standard, the detection limit based on signal-to-noise ratio （S/N = 3） was 0.06 ng/mL. The average recovery was from 84.67% to 109.7%. The precision of the method given as the relative standard deviations （RSD） was within the range 6.24%-12.96%. In the target water samples, the concentrations of OP were as follows： 15.88-71.24 ng/L for Jinxiuchuan Reservoir, 3.850-26.68 ng/L for the city moat, 6.930-41.56 ng/L for Daming Lake, 66.03-474.2 ng/L for Xiaoqing River, 14.66-17.72 ng/L for the Yellow River, and 10.60-26.43 ng/L for Queshan Reservoir. The Xiaoqing River was seriously polluted due to the discharge of wastewater from Jinan. Jinxiuchuan Reservoir had a higher concentration of OP compared with the Yellow River and Queshan Reservoir, which is ascribed to the surrounding human activities. These data are reported for the first time, providing strong support for the control of OP pollution in Jinan.展开更多

Thioglycolic acid methyl ester（TGM） and thioglycolic acid ethyl ester（TGE） were evaluated as derivatization reagents. The effects of pressure, temperature, flow rate of supercritical CO_2, extraction time, modifier and microemulsion on the efficiency of extraction were systematically investigated. The procedure was applied to the analysis of real soil and sediment samples. Results showed that TGE was more effective for arsenic speciation as a derivatization reagent. Modifying supercritical CO_2 with methanol can greatly improve the extraction efficiency. Further, the addition of microemulsion containing surfactant Triton X-100 can further enhance recoveries of arsenic species. The optimum extraction conditions were 100 ℃, 30 MPa, 10 min static and 25 min dynamic extraction with 5%（v/v） methanol, and surfactant modified supercritical CO_2. Detection limits in solid matrices were 0.15, 0.3 and 1.2 mg/kg for DMA, MMA and inorganic arsenic,respectively. The method was validated by the recovery data. The resulting method was fast, easy to perform and selective in the extraction and detection of various arsenic species in solid matrices.展开更多

The samples were assayed by the Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC instrument using a Capcell Pak C8 column(4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm) under isocratic conditions. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and triple distilled water(40/60, v/v) with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The eluent was monitored at 230 nm for simultaneous measurement of curcumin and docetaxel. The method was validated by determining system suitability, selectivity, sensitivity, linearity, inter-day and intra-day precision, accuracy, robustness, and stability in accordance with the guidelines of the United States Food and Drug Administration(FDA).The developed chromatographic method proved to be simple, precise, accurate, robust and reproducible. Moreover, the samples showed stability at room temperature over a period of 48 h. Thus, this method would be employed for routine simultaneous quantification of docetaxel and curcumin in rat plasma samples.展开更多

Many com...The extraction of nucleic acid is recognized as one of the most essential steps in molecular biology for initiating other downstream applications such as sequencing, amplification, hybridization, and cloning. Many commercial kits and methods are currently available that allow the extraction of only one type of nucleic acids-DNA or RNA. However, in parallel clinical detection of several diseases, a method for simultaneous extraction of both DNA and RNA from the same source is needed in such cases. In this study, a method for simultaneous extraction of DNA and RNA from bacteria based on magnetic nanoparticles(MNPs) was described. Lysis buffers were prepared to help the nucleic acid released and adsorbed to MNPs. Then, two washing buffers were used to remove the contamination of proteins and carbohydrates. The nucleic acids were finally eluted by Deoxyribonuclease(DNase) and Ribonucleases(RNase) free water. Different factors which might affect the purification of the nucleic acid were investigated, and the quantity and quality parameters of the nucleic acid were also recorded. The DNA and RNA extracted from bacteria were then respectively subjected to polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR) to further confirm its quality. The results indicated that our method can be successfully used to simultaneously extract DNA and RNA from bacteria.展开更多

文摘A novel and efficient extraction/hydrolysis method was developed for the recovery of resveratrol and emodin from a well-known traditional chinese medicinal herb, Polygonum cuspidatum. By using a 85% aqueous acetone solution containing 1.0 mol/L HCl as extractant, extraction of resveratrol and emodin from P. cuspidatum and conversion of resveratrol-3-O-β-glucoside and emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside into the products could be achieved in one step. The effects of several key parameters including concentration of HCl and acetone, temperature, ratio of solvent to material, extraction duration and extraction times on the process efficiency was systematically investigated. The results showed that the optimal conditions for maximizing the recovery yield were 85% acetone containing 1.0 mol/L HCl as extractant, temperature 70 ℃, ratio of liquid to solid 50 mL /g and extraction duration 30 min. This one-pot extraction/hydrolysis process increased the yield of resveratrol and emodin to 524% and 302%, respectively, compared to a raw sample without hydrolysis. Compared with conventional method, the developed process not only achieved high yield of resveratrol and emodin, but simplified the procedures and reduced time. The results demonstrated that the simultaneous extraction/hydrolysis process is simple and efficient which could act as a useful approach for enhanced recovery of resveratrol and emodin from P. cuspidatum.

文摘A method in combination with derivatization-supercritical fluid extraction（SFE） and gas chromatography（GC） for the speciation and quantitative determination of dimethylarsinate（DMA）, monomethylarsonate（MMA） and inorganic arsenic in solid matrices was investigated. Thioglycolic acid methyl ester（TGM） and thioglycolic acid ethyl ester（TGE） were evaluated as derivatization reagents. The effects of pressure, temperature, flow rate of supercritical CO_2, extraction time, modifier and microemulsion on the efficiency of extraction were systematically investigated. The procedure was applied to the analysis of real soil and sediment samples. Results showed that TGE was more effective for arsenic speciation as a derivatization reagent. Modifying supercritical CO_2 with methanol can greatly improve the extraction efficiency. Further, the addition of microemulsion containing surfactant Triton X-100 can further enhance recoveries of arsenic species. The optimum extraction conditions were 100 ℃, 30 MPa, 10 min static and 25 min dynamic extraction with 5%（v/v） methanol, and surfactant modified supercritical CO_2. Detection limits in solid matrices were 0.15, 0.3 and 1.2 mg/kg for DMA, MMA and inorganic arsenic,respectively. The method was validated by the recovery data. The resulting method was fast, easy to perform and selective in the extraction and detection of various arsenic species in solid matrices.
文摘●AIM:To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of early lens extraction during pars plana vitrectomy(PPV)for proliferative diabetic retinopathy(PDR)compared to those of PPV with subsequent cataract surgery.●METHODS:This multicenter randomized controlled trial was conducted in three Chinese hospitals on patients with PDR,aged>45y,with mild cataracts.The participants were randomly assigned to the combined(PPV combined with simultaneously cataract surgery,i.e.,phacovitrectomy)or subsequent(PPV with subsequent cataract surgery 6mo later)group and followed up for 12mo.The primary outcome was the change in best-corrected visual acuity(BCVA)from baseline to 6mo,and the secondary outcomes included complication rates and medical expenses.●RESULTS:In total,129 patients with PDR were recruited and equally randomized(66 and 63 in the combined and subsequent groups respectively).The change in BCVA in the combined group[mean,36.90 letters;95%confidence interval(CI),30.35–43.45]was significantly better(adjusted difference,16.43;95%CI,8.77–24.08;P<0.001)than in the subsequent group(mean,22.40 letters;95%CI,15.55–29.24)6mo after the PPV,with no significant difference between the two groups at 12mo.The overall surgical risk of two sequential surgeries was significantly higher than that of the combined surgery for neovascular glaucoma(17.65%vs 3.77%,P=0.005).No significant differences were found in the photocoagulation spots,surgical time,and economic expenses between two groups.In the subsequent group,the duration of work incapacity(22.54±9.11d)was significantly longer(P<0.001)than that of the combined group(12.44±6.48d).●CONCLUSION:PDR patients aged over 45y with mild cataract can also benefit from early lens extraction during PPV with gratifying effectiveness,safety and convenience,compared to sequential surgeries.

文摘The purpose of the present research was to develop a suitable, simple, precise, accurate,robust, and reproducible RP-HPLC method for a reliable simultaneous quantification of docetaxel(DTX) and curcumin(CCM) in rat plasma samples using paclitaxel(PTX) as an internal standard. The samples were assayed by the Agilent 1260 Infinity HPLC instrument using a Capcell Pak C8 column(4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm) under isocratic conditions. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and triple distilled water(40/60, v/v) with a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The eluent was monitored at 230 nm for simultaneous measurement of curcumin and docetaxel. The method was validated by determining system suitability, selectivity, sensitivity, linearity, inter-day and intra-day precision, accuracy, robustness, and stability in accordance with the guidelines of the United States Food and Drug Administration(FDA).The developed chromatographic method proved to be simple, precise, accurate, robust and reproducible. Moreover, the samples showed stability at room temperature over a period of 48 h. Thus, this method would be employed for routine simultaneous quantification of docetaxel and curcumin in rat plasma samples.

文摘A simple vortex-assisted cloud-point extraction(VA-CPE)method combined with the fluorescence(FL)strategy was developed to extract and determine inorganic Se(IV)in environmental water.Toluene was used as an extraction reagent,and Se(VI)was reduced to Se(IV)by subjecting its solution in 4 mol/L HCl to microwave heating for generating a yellow piazselenol complex using 3,3'-diaminobenzidine(DAB)and Se(IV).The concentration of the complex exhibited an excellent linear relation with the FL at 560 nm with an excitation wavelength of 420 nm.In addition,the effects of the toluene volume,pH,and VA-CPE parameters were investigated and the interference from coexisting ions was also studied.This method was successfully applied to determine the concentration selenium in environmental water samples with a detection limit of 0.05μg/L in the line range from 0.50μg/L to 50.00μg/L.

文摘Alkynyl steroid hormones(ASHs),synthetic steroid hormones incorporating an alkynyl group,have been discovered to disrupt the endocrine system in humans profoundly.The existence of ASH residues in daily milk consumption might even heighten the risk of cancer for individuals.In this study,we propose a magnetic solid-phase extraction(MSPE)coupled with click chemistry derivatization-based liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC–MS)method for the rapid and highly sensitive determination of ASHs in milk samples.Specifically,Fe_(3)O_(4)magnetic nanoparticles coated with polypyrrole(Fe_(3)O_(4)-PPy)were prepared and utilized as the MSPE adsorbent to direct extract ASHs from milk samples.The entire process of MSPE was completed within 6 min.Subsequently,the reagent 4-azido-N-phenylbenzamide(4-ANPA)was employed for derivatizing the extracted ASHs through copper(Ⅰ)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction(CuAAC).The resulting 4-ANPA derivatives of a total of 8 ASHs were then detected using LC–MS.The established MSPE-click derivatization-LC–MS method exhibited satisfactory limits of detection ranging from 8.2 to 53.4 ng/L,good recoveries between 95.4%and 109.2%,as well as intra-day and inter-day precision with relative standard deviations below 11.3%.Overall,our developed method showcased rapid operation,high efficiency,excellent selectivity,and remarkable sensitivity for quantifying ASH levels in milk samples.

文摘The extraction of nucleic acid is recognized as one of the most essential steps in molecular biology for initiating other downstream applications such as sequencing, amplification, hybridization, and cloning. Many commercial kits and methods are currently available that allow the extraction of only one type of nucleic acids-DNA or RNA. However, in parallel clinical detection of several diseases, a method for simultaneous extraction of both DNA and RNA from the same source is needed in such cases. In this study, a method for simultaneous extraction of DNA and RNA from bacteria based on magnetic nanoparticles(MNPs) was described. Lysis buffers were prepared to help the nucleic acid released and adsorbed to MNPs. Then, two washing buffers were used to remove the contamination of proteins and carbohydrates. The nucleic acids were finally eluted by Deoxyribonuclease(DNase) and Ribonucleases(RNase) free water. Different factors which might affect the purification of the nucleic acid were investigated, and the quantity and quality parameters of the nucleic acid were also recorded. The DNA and RNA extracted from bacteria were then respectively subjected to polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR) to further confirm its quality. The results indicated that our method can be successfully used to simultaneously extract DNA and RNA from bacteria.
