001). AAST grade additionally showed a correlation with complication severity (P=0.02). Compared with modified Hinchey class, AAST grade better predicted decision to operate (88.2% versus 82.4%).

This study showed the feasibility of electronic medical record integration to support the full potential of AAST classification system's utility as a clinical decision-making tool. Prospectively assigned AAST grade may be an accurate and pragmatic method to find associations with outcomes, yet validation requires further study.

With the rapid increase in craft brewing, beer styles have become even more numerous and complex in the recent past. A GC-MS/VUV (post-column split for dual detection) instrument with headspace high capacity SPME was used to investigate 21 different beers which represent three beer styles - India pale ales, blondes, and hefeweizens. Since results from untargeted studies can be affected by the sorbent material used, the extraction performances of three high capacity SPME fibers, i.e., polydimethylsiloxane, polydimethylsiloxane/carbon wide range, and polydimethylsiloxane/carbon wide range/divinylbenzene, were evaluated. Good reproducibility ( less then 10% RSD) was obtained for each high capacity fiber using both detectors. The tandem MS/VUV detection coupled with GC separation proved to be particularly valuable for compound identification, especially for isomers and compounds with similar structures. The evaluation of VUV detection for untargeted analysis led to similar performances as MS detection. Both the VUV and the MS were able to effectively differentiate between beer styles using principal component analysis. In addition, the use of 3 different statistical approaches, one-way ANOVA (p-value less then 0.05), partial least square discriminant analysis, and random forest, universally identified 12 of the components most influential in distinguishing the three beer styles (e.g., β-myrcene, linalool, isopentyl acetate, 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol). This is the first reported evaluation of VUV detection and the first comparison of simultaneous VUV and MS detection for untargeted classification of complex mixtures using GC.False positives are common and frequently occurring in detection of ochratoxin A (OTA) due to the complexity of the food matrix. Apatinib In this paper, a novel bipolar electrode-electrochemiluminescence (BPE-ECL) sensing platform for sensitive OTA detection with one-step grain pretreatment was proposed. The biosensor uses cathode of closed BPE as a functional sensing interface and anode as a signal collection interface. On the functional sensing interface, the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) catalyze the polymerization of aniline to form polyaniline (PANI) on nucleic acid backbone which is supplied by DNA tetrahedron-structured aptamer (DTA) and hybrid chain reaction (HCR). In the presence of OTA, PANI is formed and can cause the change of ECL and luminescence voltage of the anode of BPE. On the signal collection interface, the Ru(bpy)32+/TPA system is used as ECL light output. In this way, the analyte does not need to participate the ECL reaction of the anode, which avoids direct contact of photoactive molecules with complex reaction systems and greatly reduce the influence of complex food matrix on signal acquisition. The accuracy of the BPE-ECL biosensor (one-step grain pretreatment) was similar with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis (traditional national standard pretreatment method GB5009.96-2016). Meanwhile, the BPE-ECL biosensor had higher sensitivity (LOD 3 pg mL-1). Therefore, closed BPE could simplify sample pretreatment and improve detection capability.Robust, highly selective, and sensitive sensor devices are in high demand for the detection of bioactive molecules. Bioactive molecules are quantified by the electrochemical approach in the presence of other interference species, presenting a significant challenge to researchers. In this study, molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was prepared using the electrochemical method in a methanol/water solution mixture. The MIP on the electrochemically reduced graphene oxide (ERGO) surface exhibited hornlike morphology in contrast to the bare GC obtained, forming irregular bulky structures with a size range of 0.8-2.1 μm. The domperidone (DP) binding/extraction from MIP@ERGO was studied using ex situ Fourier transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The hornlike MIP@ERGO/GC revealed a higher heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant and DP antiemetic drug oxidation current response compared with the MIP/GC and non-imprinted polymer (NIP/GC) electrodes. The hornlike MIP@ERGO/GC electrode fabrication was optimized in terms of the pyrrole polymerization cyclic voltammetry cycle number, monomer/template concentration, and incubation times. The fabricated MIP@ERGO/GC electrode demonstrated a wide concentration range of DP detection (from 0.5 to 17.2 μM), and the limit of detection was found to be 3.8 nM, with a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. Moreover, the MIP@ERGO/GC electrode had excellent DP selectivity (with an imprinting factor of 4.20), even in the presence of ascorbic acid, uric acid, dopamine, xanthine, gelatin, glucose, sucrose, l-cysteine, folic acid, K+, Na+, Ca2+, CO32-, SO42-, and NO3- interferences. The MIP@ERGO/GC electrode was tested on a human urine sample, and DP recovery ranges between 98.4% and 100.87% were obtained.Second-order based calibration methods have been widely investigated capitalizing on the inherent benefits of the data structure and the decomposition models, demonstrating that second-order advantage is a property that conspires to a high likelihood success in the resolution of systems of varying complexity. This work aims to demonstrate the applicability of a combined chemometric strategy to solve non-linear multivariate calibration systems in the presence of non-multilinear multi-way data. The determination of histamine by differential pulse voltammetry at different pH is presented as case study. The experimental system has the outstanding difficulty arisen from the large displacement along the potential axis by the pH, which was successfully overcome by implementation of the presented combined strategy. For data modeling, MCR-ALS, U-PLS/RBL and U-PCA/RBL-RBF were used. MCR-ALS allowed unraveling the non-linear behavior between the signal and the concentration, and extracting the underlying profiles of the constituent.
