Article Abstract
A liquid chromatographic (LC) method is described for determination of ractopamine hydrochloride (LY031537) in swine and turkey tissues. Liver, kidney, muscle, and fat samples were homogenized in methanol. An aliquot of the extract was evaporated, diluted with water, and buffered to pH 10.5 +/- 0.5 with sodium carbonate to convert ractopamine hydrochloride to a free base. The free base was extracted from the buffered sample with ethyl acetate. The extract was further purified on a Bond Elut acid-washed silica solid-phase extraction cartridge. After converting the free base back to the salt form with pH 4.5 buffer, analytical separation and quantitation of ractopamine hydrochloride was performed on an IBM C18 column with coulometric detection at +600 mV. The limit of detection of the method was approximately 0.5 ppb as determined in swine liver. Overall recovery levels ranged between 75 and 100% for samples of liver, kidney, muscle, and fat fortified at 1 to 100 ppb. The coefficients of variation ranged from 2 to 18% for samples fortified at 1 to 100 ppb.

β-Adrenergic agonists are employed in the livestock industry to promote the growth of poultry and livestock. However, due to the frequent lack of scientific guidance in medication administration among farmers, issues such as indiscriminate use, misuse, and noncompliance with withdrawal periods have arisen. These practices result in drug residues, triggering food safety concerns and posing a threat to consumer health.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory and destructive autoimmune polyarthritis that causes pain, swelling and deformity in the joints. While clinical trials targeting GM-CSF in RA are showing promise, the potential side effects of anti-GM-CSF therapy highlight the need for identifying downstream mediators of GM-CSF action. CCL17, a downstream inflammatory mediator of GM-CSF in monocytes and macrophages, has been shown to mediate GM-CSF-driven inflammatory arthritis in animal models.

While exploring the physicochemical properties of plasmonic metal nanoparticles provides fascinating optical properties, current research typically ignores the ever-increasing point-of-care (POC) demands with target-dependent dual-response variation and built-in self-calibration function. Herein, we propose utilizing the distinct difference in reduction potential between Au/Au (1.00 eV) and Pt/Pt (1.

Ractopamine (RAC), illegally used in swine feed to promote lean muscle growth, seriously endangers human health (particularly children's development), necessitating rapid and accurate monitoring of its residues in pork and derived products. In this work, the well-structured gold/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) nanowires (Au/PEDOT NWs) were facilely synthesized via interfacial polymerization, which enabled the uniform loading of Au nanoparticles (Au NPs) on/in cross-linked PEDOT NWs. The component, structure, and morphology of Au/PEDOT NWs were confirmed by series of physical characterization.

In order to achieve rapid and sensitive detection of clenbuterol (CLB) and ractopamine (RAC) in meat foods and ensure food safety, a magnetic nano-organic polymer (FeO@SiO@DVB-PSSNa) with π-π interaction, hydrogen bonding, and cation-exchange properties was synthesized for magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) of CLB and RAC in pork. Coupled with a 96-well visual protein microarray chip, the method achieved LOD of 0.08 μg/kg (CLB) and 0.
