Latest ArticlesThe current national standard employs the phenol-sulfuric acid method for quantifying the curdlan content. However, due to inadequate dispersion of some curdlan particles in the solvent caused by agglomeration during dissolution in a 0.1mol/L sodium hydroxide solution, the results of content detection were found to be unstable. The samples were treated by magnetic stirring, homogenizer dispersion and ethanol dispersion. It was found that: The ethanol effectively disperses the curdlan sample in the sodium hydroxide solution, preventing it from agglomerating. The ethanol method effectively and efficiently addresses the pain point in determining the content of curdlan, offering valuable insights for enhancing the detection methodology.

Objective Comparing two detection methods for chlamydial trachomatis in the genital tract (GeneXpertⓇ CT/NG and Roche® Cobas 4800 CT/NG), we summarize their respective advantages and disadvantages to provide references for the promotion and application of these two methods. Methods During a field survey conducted in a sample hospital, a convenience sampling method was employed to select 60 patients. Vaginal swabs were collected from these patients for testing using the GeneXpert® CT/NG system, while urine samples were collected for testing with the Roche® Cobas 4800 CT/NG system. Staff members were tasked with recording and compiling data related to the testing process, including the time taken for testing, the cost of testing, and the positive detection rates. This data was then used to compare the two testing methods. Results The testing time for Roche® Cobas 4800 CT/NG is 293 minutes, while the testing time for GeneXpertⓇ CT/NG is 92.95 minutes. In other words, the testing time for Roche® Cobas 4800 CT/NG is 3.15 times longer than that of GeneXpert® CT/NG; When the number of tests conducted in the sample hospital reaches 3000 cases, the cost of Roche® Cobas 4800 CT/NG testing is approximately 1/5 of that of GeneXpert® CT/NG testing. As the number of tests increases, when the volume reaches 200,000 cases, the unit cost of Roche® Cobas 4800 CT/NG testing is approximately 1/3 of the unit cost of GeneXpert® CT/NG testing; Among the 60 participants in this study, 11 cases of CT positive patients were detected by GeneXpert® CT/NG, with a CT positive rate of 0.183. Roche®Cobas 4800 CT/NG detected 10 cases, with a CT positive rate of 0.167. Conclusion The GeneXpert® CT/NG test has a significant time advantage, as it takes less time and provides faster results; The Roche® Cobas 4800 CT/NG test has a cost advantage, with lower detection costs; The GeneXpert® CT/ NG test has a higher positive detection rate.
Recombinant collagen dressings are currently a popular skin care product in the market, which can form a protective layer on the wound and act as a physical barrier. Used for the care of non chronic wounds (such as superficial wounds, laser/photon/fruit acid skin replacement/micro plastic surgery wounds), providing a microenvironment for wound healing. The detection of recombinant collagen protein in application products is one of the reliable indicators to ensure product quality. This article investigates the applicability of the identification method for a recombinant collagen liquid dressing. The applicability of a identification method for a recombinant collagen liquid dressing was studied. Peptide map method, $\mathrm{N}$ -terminal amino acid sequence method, and isoelectric focusing electrophoresis method were used to identify the recombinant collagen in the experimental sample, and the detection results showed that the peptide map method and N-terminal amino acid sequence method were applicable to the sample. However, the isoelectric focusing electrophoresis method did not detect any bands, so this method is not applicable. When choosing the identification method for recombinant collagen, enterprises should consider the actual situation of the product and adopt appropriate methods.
Objective To establish a method for the determination of six phthalates [diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), di(2-butoxy)ethyl phthalate (DBEP), dicyclohexyl phthalate (DCHP), di(2-ethyl)hexyl phthalate (DEHP) and diisononyl phthalate (DINP)] in semi-solid food by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). Methods The optimization of chromatography and mass spectrometry conditions, the comparison of pretreatment extraction methods, and the selection of purification columns were carried out.

The optimal conditions were selected by mass spectrometry full scan (SCAN) mode, and then by feature selective ion monitoring scan mode (SIM) detection, the retention time and qualitative ion fragment abundance ratio were qualitatively analyzed, and the external standard method was used for quantitative analysis. Results The separation was completed within 26.5 min. Linear range: DINP had a good linear relationship in the concentration range of${0.2}\sim {5.0}\mathrm{{\mu g}}/\mathrm{{mL}}$, with$\mathrm{r}> {0.9995}$, and the other five species had a good linear relationship in the range of ${0.02}\sim {0.50\mu}\mathrm{g}/\mathrm{{mL}}$, with$>\mathrm{r}{0.9995}$。The limit of quantification was${9.0}\mathrm{{mg}}/\mathrm{{kg}}$, DINP was ${0.3}\mathrm{{mg}}/\mathrm{{kg}}$, and the others were ${0.5}\mathrm{{mg}}/\mathrm{{kg}}$, and the three-level standard solution was added to the two dipping materials and bottom materials, respectively: DINP was 20,40 and ${60}\mathrm{{mg}}/\mathrm{{kg}}$, and the others were 4,6 and 8 $\mathrm{{mg}}/\mathrm{{kg}}$, and the recovery rates were 89.1%~101%. The RSD % was less than 3.8%. Conclusion This method has simple pretreatment, good selectivity, sensitivity and accuracy, and can be widely used for the determination of plasticizers in semisolid composite seasonings.

Objective At present, the systematic study of heavy metals releasing law from ceramic disc sealed water faucet is lack in domestic. At the same time, nozzle production enterprises also lack relevant knowledge, so it is necessary to study this to provide a scientific basis for the green and sustainable development of the nozzle industry. Methods Through the laboratory simulation method, the inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer was used to analyze and test the precipitation of heavy metal pollutants in the nozzle, and systematically studied the precipitation law of heavy metal pollutants in the ceramic sheet sealed nozzle. Results Through testing and analysis, the material of the surface nozzle material also determines the precipitation type of heavy metal pollutants. The immersion time and the concentration of inorganic salt in water quality are directly proportional to the precipitation of heavy metals. The lead brass nozzle effectively reduces the precipitation of lead and chromium heavy metals through the lead removal process; the precipitation of lead is reduced by 81% to 86%, and the precipitation of chromium is reduced by 52% to 56%. Conclusion Enterprises can choose suitable materials and processes to produce nozzles according to their own conditions. Consumers should avoid exposure to excessive heavy metals according to their use.
