  • 12 samples from an assay process chain were submitted to qualitative and quantitative neutron activation analysis for the determination of gold. Gold was detected and quantitatively determined in three samples after a chemical separation consisting of solvent extraction and precipitation steps. Recoveries ranged between 81.0 and 93.6% and results of duplicated determinations were reproducible. Quantitative data were obtained from gamma-spectrometric photopeak-area counting. Interference from fast neutron reactions was negligible.

  • Protein glycosylation, a highly significant and ubiquitous post-translational modification (PTM) in eukaryotic cells, has attracted considerable research interest due to its pivotal role in a wide array of essential biological processes. Conducting a comprehensive analysis of glycoproteins is imperative for understanding glycoprotein bio-functions and identifying glycosylated biomarkers. However, the complexity and heterogeneity of glycan structures, coupled with the low abundance and poor ionization efficiencies of glycopeptides have all contributed to making the analysis and subsequent identification of glycans and glycopeptides much more challenging than any other biopolymers. Nevertheless, the significant advancements in enrichment techniques, chromatographic separation, and mass spectrometric methodologies represent promising avenues for mitigating these challenges. Numerous substrates and multifunctional materials are being designed for glycopeptide enrichment, proving valuable in glycomics and glycoproteomics. Mass spectrometry (MS) is pivotal for probing protein glycosylation, offering sensitivity and structural insight into glycopeptides and glycans. Additionally, enhanced MS-based glycopeptide characterization employs various separation techniques like liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and ion mobility. In this review, we highlight recent advances in enrichment methods and MS-based separation techniques for analyzing different types of protein glycosylation. This review also discusses various approaches employed for glycan release that facilitate the investigation of the glycosylation sites of the identified glycoproteins. Furthermore, numerous bioinformatics tools aiding in accurately characterizing glycan and glycopeptides are covered.

  • An extraction chromatographic method of separating rare earth impurities from high purity $Nd_2O_3$, $Sm_2O_3$, $Gd_2O_3$, $Er_2O_3$, $Dy_2O_3$ and $Yb_2O_3$ was studied by using $HCl-NH_4Cl$ as moving phase and P507 as stationary phase. After the impurities were enriched from the eluate by chelant-activated carbon, the active carbon was ashed and the ignited residue was used to prepare the sample electrode for spark source mass spectrometric determination. The impurities in 99.9999% rare earth oxide can be determined by the proposed method with recovery over 80%.

  • A gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) method was developed for the simultaneous determination of valproic acid (VPA) and its toxic metabolites, 4-ene-VPA and 2,4-diene-VPA in rat plasma. Extraction was performed in weak acidic condition (pH 5.2) to avoid degradation of 4-ene-VPA and 2,4-diene-VPA. The recoveries for 4-ene-VPA and 2,4-diene-VPA were more than 70% and that for VPA was 33-42%. R value for each compounds exceeded 0.998 in calibration curve during all the analysis. Accuracy and precision ranged from 88.3 to 113.2% and from 2.16 to 14.2%, respectively The method was successfully applied to monitor plasma concentrations of VPA, 4-ene-VPA and 2,4-diene-VPA after intravenous administration of VPA at the dose of 100 mg/kg, suggesting that these toxic metabolites may involved in the hepatotoxicity induced by VPA.
