Correlation analysis of macular microvascular structure and macular pigment opticaldensity in retinal vein occlusion / 中华眼底病杂志

Objective:To observe the changes of macular microvascular structure and macular pigment density (MPOD) in eyes with macular edema (ME) secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO), and preliminarily analyze their correlation.Methods:A prospective clinical study. A total of 62 eyes of 62 patients with monocular RVO secondary ME (RVO-ME) diagnosed in the Ophthalmology Hospital of Xi'an No.1 Hospital from July 2020 to May 2021 were included in this study. There were 33 males with 33 eyes, 29 females with 29 eyes. The age was 58.30±12.15 years. The course of disease from the onset of symptoms to medical treatment was 12.29±7.65 days. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) and MPOD test. BCVA examination was performed using a standard logarithmic visual acuity chart, which was converted to logarithm of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR). The vascular density (VD), vascular skeletal density (SD), foveal avascular area (FAZ) and central macular thickness (CMT) of the superficial retinal capillary plexus (SCP) in the range of 3 mm×3 mm in the macular area of bilateral eyes were measured by OCTA. MPOD was measured by heterochromatic scintillation photometry. Bilateral eyes passed examination in 37 cases. The eyes of 25 patients failed to pass the test. The changes of macular VD, SD, FAZ area, CMT and MPOD between the affected eyes and the contralateral eyes were compared. The MPOD of the affected eye and the contralateral eye was compared by paired t test. FAZ area, CMT, VD, SD, and logMAR BCVA were tested by paired Wilcoxon signed rank sum test. Spearman rank correlation test was used to analyze the correlation between macular blood flow density (VD, SD) and foveal morphology (FAZ area, CMT) with logMAR BCVA and MPOD. Results:Compared with contralateral eyes, VD ( Z=-5.981) and SD ( Z=-6.021) were decreased, FAZ area ( Z=-2.598) and CMT ( Z=-6.206) were increased, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). In 37 patients who passed MPOD test in bilateral eyes, the MPOD value of the affected eye was lower than that of the contralateral eye, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=-2.930, P<0.05). Compared with the affected eye which failed to pass the MPOD detection, macular VD ( Z=-2.807) and SD ( Z=-2.460) were increased, FAZ area ( Z=-4.297) and CMT ( Z=-3.796) were decreased in the affected eye which passed the MPOD test, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Correlation analysis showed that logMAR BCVA in the affected eye was negatively correlated with macular VD and SD ( r=-0.298, -0.461; P<0.05), which was positively correlated with FAZ area and CMT ( r=0.487, 0.789; P<0.05). MPOD in the affected eye was negatively correlated with logMAR BCVA ( r=-0.344, P<0.05). MPOD in the contralateral eye was positively correlated with CMT ( r=0.358, P<0.05). Conclusions:The VD and SD of macular SCP are decreased, FAZ area is enlarged, CMT is thickened, and MPOD is decreased in RVO-ME eyes. MPOD is negatively correlated with logMAR BCVA.

High Throughput Screening of 86 Kinds of Glucocorticoids in Cosmetics Using QuEChERS and Isotope Dilution-Liquid Chromatography Copuled to High Resolution Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry / 分析化学

A high throughput screening method based on QuEChERS purification and stable isotope dilution-liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry was developed for the simultaneous rapid determination of 86 kinds of glucocorticoids (GCs) in cosmetics.The analytes were extracted by acetonitrile, and then the extracts were purified using an improved QuEChERS method.The chromatographic separation was performed on a novel multiple chromatographic retention mechanisms column of Poroshell 120 PFP (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 2.7 μm) with gradient elution using 0.2% (V/V) acetic acid and acetonitrile as mobile phase.The accurate mass database of parent ions and mass spectra library of fragment ions of 86 GCs were established under positive ionization mode with electrospray ionization source.Based on the method described above, the qualitative identifications of the 86 GCs were accomplished without the contrast of standard substances.The results demonstrated that the linear range of this method was from 2 μg/L to 200 μg/L with good correlation coefficients of R2>0.99.The average recoveries of the 86 GCs ranged from 66.2% to 112.8%, and the relative standard deviation (RSDs) was 4.6%-13.9% at three different spiked levels.The limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.006-0.015 mg/kg and 0.02-0.05 mg/kg, respectively.The method is simple, efficient, reliable and accurate, and is suitable for high throughput screening of 86 GCs added illegally in cosmetics.

A special solid phase micro extraction ( SPME ) fibre was successfully attained by coating with a special adsorptive material on a porous stainless steel support. And the porous stainless steel support was prepared by electrochemical corrosion for the first time. The optimized erosion condition in this research was as follows: the current intensity of 30 mA, the stainless steel was etched in 2 mol/L hydrochloride solution for 1 min, then sonicated for 3 min; these procedures repeated 5 times. Meanwhile, the treated fiber coated 35 times in the sorbent solution with concentration of 5% ( m/V) in dichloromethane. The SPME fibre was applied to the analysis of gutter oil samples, and the performance of the SPME fibre for the headspace solid phase micro extraction of the exogenous impurities in gutter oil was specific, durable, stable and low-cost. The four detected trace level characteristic impurities in certain gutter oil were given as follows:42 . 7 mg/kg for acetic acid, 21. 6 mg/kg 3-butenenitrile, 71. 8 mg/kg carbon disulfide and 2. 8 mg/kg allylisothiocyanate.

A high-throughput method for screening drug multi residues was developed by quadrupole-time-of-flight( Q-TOF) mass spectrometry together with QuEChERS sample preparation technique. It has been used for the determination of 57 drugs, such as tetracyclines ( TCs ) , sulfonamides ( SAs ) , quinolones ( QNs ) , triphenylmethanes (TPMs), estrogens (ETs), androgens (AGs) and glucocorticoids (GCs) in fish. The optimized pretreatment conditions were examined. The target compounds were extracted with acetonitrile under the condition of Na2 EDTA-Mcllvaine buffer, and the usage of clean-up reagents was 25 mg anhydrous magnesium sulfate, 12. 5 mg octadecylsilane and 6. 25 mg N-Propylethylenediamine sorbent for extracted solvent of each milliliter. The positive results acquired by this high-throughput method were confirmed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry ( LC-MS/MS) . The detection limit for these 59 drugs was in the range of 0. 5-5. 3 μg/kg. The method is time-saving, convenient, effective and wide coverage. Its sensitivity can meet the requirement of the detection of drug residues in aquatic products.

Rapid Screening of Carbamates Pesticide Residues in Vegetables by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry Based on Principle of Enzyme Inhibition / 分析化学

Arapidscreeningmethodforthedeterminationofcarbamatepesticides(CBPs)residuesin vegetables by measuring acetylcholinesterase ( AChE ) inhibition rate using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry ( ESI-MS ) has been established. After pretreatment by QuEChERS method, sample solution reacts with AChE using acetylthiocholine as substrate. AChE inhibition rate was calculated by determination of the conversion of substrate to product ( thiocholine) using ESI-MS. The temperature, time and concentration conditions of enzymatic reactions have been optimized. The relationship between the concentration of 10 kinds of common CBPs and AChE inhibition rate was researched. Matrix effects of real vegetables were studied. The limit of detection ( LOD) , which was measured by 3 times of enzyme inhibition rate of pesticide-free vegetable samples, was 0. 01-0. 05 mg/kg. The results showed that the method was better than the current national standard method of china for rapid screening of pesticide residues and fully meet the requirements of maximum residue limits( MRL) for pesticides in food of national food safety standard. False positive results were avoided effectively due to its good ability of resistance matrix interference. The reliability was proved by analyzing vegetables with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The method is simple, rapid, sensitive, reliable, and can be used for the rapid, high-throughput screening of CBPs in vegetables.
