Novel flocculant based on amphoteric amylopectin for wastewater and industrial effluents treatment has been developed in authors' laboratory. Amphoteric flocculants have anionic and cationic moieties on the same macromolecule and is used to remove both positively and negatively charged contaminant particles in suspensions. Amylopectin based flocculants have been found to be highly efficient flocculant and hence it has been chosen as base polysaccharide. By grafting of polyacrylamide and subsequent hydrolysis, anionic amylopectin has been synthesized. Afterwards, a cationic moiety has been inserted both by chemical/microwave processing. The flocculation efficiency of the amphoteric amylopectin has been tested in kaolin and iron ore suspensions. The results indicate its high efficiency in comparison with anionic, grafted, and base amylopectin. The amphoteric amylopectin prepared via microwave irradiation showed best flocculation efficiency.

High-throughput intact Glycopeptide quantification strategy with targeted-MS (HTiGQs-target) reveals site-specific IgG N-glycopeptides as biomarkers for hepatic disorder diagnosis and staging

Xuejiao Liu, Bin Fu, Jierong Chen, Zhenyu Sun, Dongdong Zheng, Zhonghua Li, Bing Gu, Ying Zhang, Haojie Lu

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.
