Effective retention of biological samples was found on the Silpr-2MI-C18 column by comparing the results obtained from the commercial C18 column.Several drugs are administered to lung-transplanted patients, which are monitored using therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Therefore, we developed and validated a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method to simultaneously analyze immunosuppressive drugs such as mycophenolic acid, antifungal drugs such as voriconazole and itraconazole, and its metabolite hydroxyitraconazole. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a C18 column and gradient flow of mobile phase comprising 20 mM aqueous ammonium formate and 20 mM ammonium formate-methanol solution. A simple protein precipitation treatment was performed using acetonitrile/methanol and mycophenolic acid-2 H3 , voriconazole-2 H3 , itraconazole-2 H4 , and hydroxyitraconazole-2 H4 as internal standards. The linearity ranges of mycophenolic acid, voriconazole, itraconazole, and hydroxyitraconazole were 100-20,000, 50-10,000, 5-1000, and 5-1000 ng/mL, respectively. The retention time of each target was less than 2 min. The relative errors in intra- and inter-day were within ±7.6%, the coefficient of variation was 8.9% or less for quality control low, medium, and high, and it was 15.8% or less for lower limit of quantitation.

Therefore, our new method may be useful for TDM in lung-transplanted patients.
One of the important steps in initial data processing of peptide mass spectra is the detection of peptide features in full-range mass spectra. Ion mobility offers advantages over previous methods performing this detection by providing an additional structure-specific separation dimension. However, there is a lack of open-source software that utilizes these advantages and detects peptide features in mass spectra acquired along with ion mobility data using new instruments such as timsTOF and/or FAIMS-Orbitrap.

Recently, a utility called Dinosaur was presented, which provides an efficient way for feature detection in peptide ion mass spectra. In this work we extended its functionality by developing Biosaur software to fully employ the additional information provided by ion mobility data. Biosaur was developed using the Python 3.8 programming language.

Biosaur supports the processing of data acquired using mass spectrometers with ion mobility capabilities, specifically timsTOF and FAIMS. In addition, it processes mass spectra obtained in negative ion mode and reports cosine correlation table for peptide features which is useful for differentiation between in-source fragments and semi-tryptic peptides.

Biosaur is a utility for detecting peptide features in liquid chromatography-mass spectra with ion mobility and negative ion supports. The software is distributed with an open-source APACHE 2.0 license and is freely available on Github https//github.com/abdrakhimov1/Biosaur.

Inbreeding depression is well documented in flowering plants and adversely affects a wide range of fitness-related traits. Recent work has begun to explore the effects of inbreeding on ecological interactions among plants and other organisms, including insect herbivores and pathogens. However, the effects of inbreeding on floral traits, floral scents, and pollinator visitation are less well studied.

Using inbred and outbred maternal families of horsenettle (Solanum carolinense, Solanaceae), we examined the effects of inbreeding on traits associated with pollinator attraction and floral rewards. Specifically, we measured corolla size, counted pollen grains per flower, and analyzed floral volatile emissions via gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. We also examined pollinator visitation to experimental arrays of flowering inbred and outbred plants under field conditions.

Compared to those of outbred plants, flowers of inbred plants exhibited reduced corolla size and pollen production, as well as significantly reduced emission of the two most abundant volatile compounds in the floral blend. Furthermore, bumblebees-the main pollinators of horsenettle-discriminated against inbred flowers in the field bees were more likely to make initial visits to flowers on outbred plants, visited outbred flowers more often overall, and spent more time on outbred flowers.

These results show that inbreeding can (1) alter floral traits that are known to mediate pollinator attraction; (2) reduce the production of floral rewards (pollen is the sole reward in horsenettle); and (3) adversely affect pollinator visitation under field conditions.

There has been renewed interest in the use of silver diamine fluoride (SDF) for the management of carious lesions in high-risk groups. Previous studies have found a difference in clinical efficacy among different concentrations of SDF and discrepancies between ionic concentrations of fluoride (F) and silver (Ag) in SDF preparations. The aim of this study was to measure the free F, Ag ion concentrations and pH of a variety of commercially available SDF preparations.

Seven SDF products used globally were evaluated for F and Ag ion concentrations using a calibrated ion-selective electrode and optical emission spectrometry respectively. Acidity was determined with a pH electrode.

The 30% SDF solution contained almost half the F concentration and a much higher Ag concentration than expected (16343ppmF and 246000ppmAg). Comparatively, the mean F concentration of the remaining six 38% solutions was 74802ppm (expected mean 44800ppm) ranging from 36457ppm to 120760ppm. The mean Ag concentration was 326000ppm (expected mean 253870ppm) and ranged from 246000ppm to 425451ppm.
