Recent applications and chiral separation development based on stationary phases in open tubular capillary electrochromatography (2019-2022)
Xinyu Li, Qianjie Ma, Xiangtai Zheng, Qin Chen, Xiaodong Sun
2023, 13(4): 323-339. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.01.003
Abstract:
Capillary electrochromatography (CEC) plays a significant role in chiral separation via the double separation principle, partition coefficient difference between the two phases, and electroosmotic flow-driven separation. Given the distinct properties of the inner wall stationary phase (SP), the sepa...
Recent progress in aptamer-based microfluidics for the detection of circulating tumor cells and extracellular vesicles
Duanping Sun, Ying Ma, Maoqiang Wu, Zuanguang Chen, Luyong Zhang, Jing Lu
2023, 13(4): 340-354. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.03.001
Abstract:
Liquid biopsy is a technology that exhibits potential to detect cancer early, monitor therapies, and predict cancer prognosis due to its unique characteristics, including noninvasive sampling and real-time analysis. Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are two important co...
Neutrophil elastase: From mechanisms to therapeutic potential
Weilin Zeng, Yingqiu Song, Runze Wang, Rong He, Tianlu Wang
2023, 13(4): 355-366. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2022.12.003
Abstract:
Neutrophil elastase (NE), a major protease in the primary granules of neutrophils, is involved in microbicidal activity. NE is an important factor promoting inflammation, has bactericidal effects, and shortens the inflammatory process. NE also regulates tumor growth by promoting metastasis and tumor...

Development of a CLDN18.2-targeting immuno-PET probe for non-invasive imaging in gastrointestinal tumors
Yan Chen, Xingguo Hou, Dapeng Li, Jin Ding, Jiayue Liu, Zilei Wang, Fei Teng, Hongjun Li, Fan Zhang, Yi Gu, Steven Yu, Xueming Qian, Zhi Yang, Hua Zhu
2023, 13(4): 367-375. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.02.011
Abstract:
Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) is a tight junction protein that is overexpressed in a variety of solid tumors such as gastrointestinal cancer and oesophageal cancer. It has been identified as a promising target and a potential biomarker to diagnose tumor, evaluate efficacy, and determine patient prognosis. ...
High-throughput transcriptional profiling of perturbations by Panax ginseng saponins and Panax notoginseng saponins using TCM-seq
Junyun Cheng, Jie Chen, Jie Liao, Tianhao Wang, Xin Shao, Jinbo Long, Penghui Yang, Anyao Li, Zheng Wang, Xiaoyan Lu, Xiaohui Fan
2023, 13(4): 376-387. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.02.009
Abstract:
Panax ginseng (PG) and Panax notoginseng (PN) are highly valuable Chinese medicines (CM). Although both CMs have similar active constituents, their clinical applications are clearly different. Over the past decade, RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) analysis has been employed to investigate the molecular mech...
Quantitative characterization of cell physiological state based on dynamical cell mechanics for drug efficacy indication
Shuang Ma, Junfeng Wu, Zhihua Liu, Rong He, Yuechao Wang, Lianqing Liu, Tianlu Wang, Wenxue Wang
2023, 13(4): 388-402. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.03.002
Abstract:
Cell mechanics is essential to cell development and function, and its dynamics evolution reflects the physiological state of cells. Here, we investigate the dynamical mechanical properties of single cells under various drug conditions, and present two mathematical approaches to quantitatively charac...

Nafisah Al-Rifai, Anas Alshishani, Fouad Darras, Ola Taha, Shereen Abu-Jalloud, Lena Shaghlil, Yousef Al-Ebini
2023, 13(4): 403-411. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.02.012
Abstract:
Given that impurities may affect the quality and safety of drug products, impurity identification and profiling is an integral part of drug quality control and is particularly important for newly developed medications such as solriamfetol, which is used to treat excessive daytime sleepiness. Althoug...
Breath-by-breath measurement of exhaled ammonia by acetone-modifier positive photoionization ion mobility spectrometry via online dilution and purging sampling
Lu Wang, Dandan Jiang, Lei Hua, Chuang Chen, Dongming Li, Weiguo Wang, Yiqian Xu, Qimu Yang, Haiyang Li, Song Leng
2023, 13(4): 412-420. doi: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.02.008
Abstract:
Exhaled ammonia (NH3) is an essential noninvasive biomarker for disease diagnosis. In this study, an acetone-modifier positive photoionization ion mobility spectrometry (AM-PIMS) method was developed for accurate qualitative and quantitative analysis of exhaled NH3 with high selectivity and sensitiv...
A chiral metal-organic framework {(HQA)(ZnCl2)(2.5H2O)}n for the enantioseparation of chiral amino acids and drugs
Xiangtai Zheng, Qi Zhang, Qianjie Ma, Xinyu Li, Liang Zhao, Xiaodong Sun

Abstract:
Chiral metal-organic frameworks (CMOFs) with enantiomeric subunits have been employed in chiral chemistry. In this study, a CMOF formed from 6-methoxyl-(8S,9R)-cinchonan-9-ol-3-carboxylic acid (HQA) and ZnCl2, {(HQA)(ZnCl2)(2.5H2O)}n, was constructed as a chiral stationary phase (CSP) via an in situ...
