Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of analysis and detection, and in particular to a method for detecting perfluorinated and polyfluorinated compounds in cerebrospinal fluid. Background Art

[0002] Perfluorinated and polyfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are man-made chemicals that have been used in industrial and consumer products since 1940 due to their waterproof and oil-proof properties. They are widely used in non-stick coatings, surfactants, food packaging materials, fire-fighting foams, etc., so it is difficult for the human body to avoid exposure to PFAS pollution. Occupations related to PFAS processing and manufacturing applications, drinking water contaminated by PFAS, food containing PFAS, soil or dust contaminated by PFAS, air containing PFAS, products made of PFAS or packaged with materials containing PFAS, etc. may all be sources of PFAS pollution. PFAS compounds are persistent, which leads to their widespread presence in the environment. It is also bioaccumulative and can bring a variety of adverse and lasting effects on organisms. In addition to causing damage to the liver, it can also have significant adverse effects on the immune system and endocrine and reproductive systems. Recently, the relevant departments issued the "List of New Pollutants for Key Control (2023 Edition)", and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid and its salts and perfluorooctane sulfonyl fluoride, perfluorooctanoic acid and its salts and related compounds were included in the list of new pollutants for key control.

[0003] Cerebrospinal fluid is close to the human brain, and exposure to pollutants in cerebrospinal fluid has a significant impact on human health, but there is currently a lack of methods to detect perfluorinated compounds in cerebrospinal fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid is a colorless, transparent liquid present in the ventricles and subarachnoid space. It has a high degree of purity and low levels of protein and lipids. It is a special body fluid. Currently, there are few liquid phase detection methods specifically for compounds in cerebrospinal fluid, and all require complex pre-treatment of the cerebrospinal fluid before testing on the machine, which affects the recovery rate and accuracy, and the steps are complicated. In order to further explore the impact of human exposure to PFAS on cerebrospinal fluid, a simple, fast, and accurate method for detecting multiple PFAS in a special matrix of cerebrospinal fluid is needed.

[0154] 1. Experimental Methods

[0155] 1. According to the method of Example 1, add isotope internal standard and 27 perfluorinated compounds to the follicular fluid, directly test on the machine, and verify the recovery rate. In 250 μL follicular fluid, the spiked amount of 27 perfluorinated compounds is set to 0.25 ng (1 ng / mL) and 2.5 ng (10 ng / mL) in two gradient concentrations, and three parallel experiments are performed for each gradient concentration. The spiked amount of each perfluorinated compound in each gradient concentration is the same, and the above two spiked amounts are the spiked amounts of each perfluorinated compound.

[0156] The follicular fluid without the 27 perfluorinated compounds described in Example 1 was used as a blank sample.

[0157] 2. The configuration and detection method of the standard solution are the same as those in Example 1.

[0158] 2. Experimental Results

[0159] A standard curve was made based on the peak area and concentration of the 27 perfluorinated compound standard solutions, and the content of the 27 perfluorinated compounds in the follicular fluid sample to be tested was calculated based on the peak area and standard curve of the follicular fluid sample to be tested. The detection limits and spike recovery results of the 27 perfluorinated compounds are shown in Table 5.

[0160] Compared with cerebrospinal fluid, the matrix of follicular fluid is more complex and the matrix inhibition is stronger. The recovery rate of some compounds is only 30%, which does not meet the permitted standards. The method of Example 1 cannot achieve the determination of some perfluorinated compounds in follicular fluid.

[0164] Comparative Example 2 Detection of other perfluorinated compounds in cerebrospinal fluid samples

[0165] 1. Experimental Methods

[0166] The contents of perfluorononanesulfonate (L-PFNA, PFNS), perfluorodecanesulfonate (L-PFDA, PFDS) and 2-[(8-chloro-1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8-hexafluorooctyl)oxy]-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethanesulfonic acid (11-Chloroeicosafluoro-3-oxaundecane-1-sulfonate, 11Cl-PF3OUdS) in cerebrospinal fluid were detected by the method of Example 1 without adding internal standard, and the spike recovery rate of 10 ng / mL spike concentration was calculated by the method of Example 2.

[0167] 2. Experimental Results

[0168] The experiment found that the recoveries of L-PFNA, L-PFDA and 11Cl-PF3OUdS in the spiked samples were low, 45.1%, 43.5% and 39.7% respectively. The detection method of Example 1 of the present invention is not suitable for detecting L-PFNA, L-PFDA and 11Cl-PF3OUdS in cerebrospinal fluid.

[0169] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit the protection scope of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above descriptions and ideas. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
