One of the main challenges hindering the development of MEMS mass spectrometry is the poor compatibility between the complex electrode structure of traditional ion optics and MEMS processes. This paper proposed a planar quadrupole mass filter utilizing a highly simplified stacked-layer structure and film electrodes, which is easy to fabricate with high precision by MEMS surface micromachining. The ion trajectory simulation model of the MEMS mass spectrometry chip involving all necessary ion optics was elaborated for investigating the preliminary performance of the planar quadrupole mass filter. By optimizing the crucial parameters such as the frequency of radio frequency voltage, the ratio of direct current voltage and radio frequency voltage, pre-pole length, main-pole length, and injection kinetic energy, the preliminary simulation result of planar quadrupole mass filter achieved a 1–2 Da peak width (at 50% of peak height) and 20–80% ion transmission efficiency. Importantly, the planar quadrupole mass filter demonstrated a maximum working pressure of 0.1 Pa (using air as the buffer gas), 100 times higher than that of conventional quadrupole mass filters, while maintaining a 0.7–1.8 Da peak width and ∼5% ion transmission efficiency. Additionally, to modify the theoretical formulas for the non-ideal quadrupolar field of planar quadrupole mass filter, a novel approach based on stability diagrams obtained by simulation was also introduced. The pretty good linearity (<em>R</em><sup>2</sup>=1) between ion masses in the range of 10 to 100 Da and the corresponding radio frequency voltages was verified through the simulated mass spectra. Notably, the proportional coefficient of ion mass and radio frequency voltage exhibited a minimal 4% deviation between the simulated value (4.7132 V<sub>0P</sub>/Da) and the calculated value (4.9036 V<sub>0P</sub>/Da) through the modified formula. In conclusion, the preliminary simulation results demonstrated that the planar quadrupole mass filter possessed moderate performance, high-pressure tolerance, and excellent theoretical consistency, which proved it a promising technology of MEMS mass spectrometry. It can find applications in the fields of gas detection, including the rapid response to hazardous gas emissions and in situ detection of dissolved gases in the deep sea.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":277,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Analytical Chemistry","volume":"52 2","pages":"Article 100364"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1872204024000094/pdfft?md5=80a608cc2d09dd677411fd4a693206f6&pid=1-s2.0-S1872204024000094-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139588606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, ensuring meticulous control of PGF quality has become increasingly significant. One effective method for assessing product quality is to analyze the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in PGF, which act as indicative markers. In this study, VOCs in PGF were analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), employing four extraction methods: steam distillation (SD), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME), and static headspace sampling (SHS). The results revealed 103 annotated components using the area normalization approach, highlighting the major differences among the four extraction methods. The main sesquiterpenoid components of PGF, 1,6,10-dodecatriene, 7,11-dimethyl-3-methylene-, and (<em>E</em>)- were the only common components. The SD, SFE, HS-SPME, and SHS methods identified 67, 20, 38, and 18 components, respectively. These components accounted for 89.67%, 61.84%, 82.6%, and 50.3%, respectively, of the total volatile oil effluent peak areas. Additionally, each method extracted 11, 9, 8, and 8 components, with proportions exceeding 1% in the PGF extracts. Terpenoids were identified as the main VOCs in PGF, with the SD method showing the highest sesquiterpene content. Both HS-SPME and SHS methods contained sesquiterpenoids, which accounted for 61.471% and 22.708% of the total relative amount, respectively. Furthermore, the extraction capacity of the HS-SPME method is approximately three times higher than that of the SHS method. The volatile oil extract of PGF consists of main components such as alkanes, esters, sesquiterpenes, and steroids, with compound contents exceeding 1%.

A comparative analysis was conducted to identify the efficient CHZ addition method, by comparing the PCDD/F suppression effect by CHZ premixing and cofiring with refuse-derived fuel (RDF) and injecting into the flue gas. It was revealed that the premixing and cofiring of CHZ with RDF resulted in a 10.9% reduction in the formation of PCDD/Fs, demonstrating the effectiveness of the suppression of PCDD/F emissions. XRD analysis showed that the addition of CHZ led to the reduction of CuO to Cu<sub>2</sub>O in bottom and fly ash, and thus deactivate the Cu-based catalysts.

In a solution with an initial concentration of 60 mg/L, the adsorption of ciprofloxacin (CIP) by a 1:1 ratio of fish scale and pine needle co-pyrolyzed biochar (FS-PNBC1) reached 27.97 mg/g. The adsorption properties such as thermodynamics, kinetics, isothermal adsorption, and adsorption factors were investigated by batch experiments.

The kinetic data was well-matched with a quasi-second-order model, suggesting that chemisorption plays a role in the adsorption process. Isothermal adsorption and thermodynamic results indicate that the adsorption of CIP by biochar is more consistent with the Freundlich model, which suggests multilayered non-homogeneous phase adsorption and an exothermic entropy-increasing reaction capable of proceeding spontaneously. FS-PNBC contains oxygen-containing functional groups, and through FTIR analysis, it was observed that hydrogen bonding, π-π bonding, and electrostatic interaction are closely linked to adsorption.

Therefore, a systemic analysis-based approach combined with molecular docking and network pharmacology is used to elucidate the molecular mechanism of Wugen decoction in prevention of influenza A. The efficient bioactive and potential targets of Wugen decoction are initially retrieved from public databases and relevant references. To further analyze the core targets, a protein-protein interaction network is investigated through cluster screening, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analysis, and Gene Ontology analysis. Then the binding behaviors between crucial bioactive ingredients and core targets are obtained via molecular docking. Quercetin, stigmasterol, beta-sitosterol, genistein, oxalic acid, and daidzein with higher degrees are collected and screened from the “Herb-Ingredients” network. Meanwhile, AKT1, IL1B, IL6, INS, TNF, and VEGFA are identified from cluster screening and topological investigation. The coincident targets are primarily concentrated to biological processes including hydrogen peroxide, cellular response to synapse, and molecular function to cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in tumor necrosis factor receptor binding. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis manifests that the signaling pathways related to influenza A prevention are closely associated with tumor necrosis factor receptor binding, RNA polymerase II sequence-specific DNA binding transcription factor binding, and protein phosphatase binding. Molecular docking results highlight that the effective ingredients can spontaneously bind with the core targets. In all, the present research comprehensively illustrates the potential mechanism of Wugen decoction against influenza A virus infection with the ‘multicomponent-multitarget-multipathway’ mode.
