Abstract
Glyphosate is one of the most widely used herbicides globally, raising concerns about its potential impact on human health. Biomonitoring studies play a crucial role in assessing human exposure to glyphosate and providing valuable insights into its distribution and metabolism in the body. This review aims to summarize the current trends and future perspectives in biomonitoring of glyphosate and its major degradation product of aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA). A comprehensive literature search was conducted, focusing on studies published between January 2000 and December 2022. The findings demonstrated that glyphosate and AMPA have been reported in different human specimens with urine as the dominance. Sample pretreatment techniques of solid-phase and liquid-liquid extractions coupled with liquid/gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry have achieved matrix elimination and accurate analysis. We also examined and compared the exposure characteristics of these compounds among different regions and various populations, with significantly higher levels of glyphosate and AMPA observed in Asian populations and among occupational groups. The median urinary concentration of glyphosate in children was 0.54 ng/mL, which was relatively higher than those in women (0.28 ng/mL) and adults (0.12 ng/mL). It is worth noting that children may exhibit increased susceptibility to glyphosate exposure or have different exposure patterns compared to women and adults. A number of important perspectives were proposed in order to further facilitate the understanding of health effects of glyphosate and AMPA, which include, but are not limited to, method standardization, combined exposure assessment, attention for vulnerable populations, long-term exposure effects and risk communication and public awareness.

Int J Neonatal Screen 2023; 9:32.

Abstract
Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS-II, Hunter syndrome, OMIM:30990) is a lysosomal storage disorder (LSD) that results in iduronate 2-sulphatase (I2S) enzyme deficiency. MPS-II was added to the Recommended Uniform Screening Panel (RUSP) in August 2022; thus, there is an increased demand for multiplexing I2S into existing LSD screening assays. After incubation with LSD synthetic substrates, extracts are cleaned using liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate or protein precipitation using acetonitrile (ACN). We investigated cold-induced water ACN phase separation (CIPS) to improve the combination of 6-plex and I2S extracts to create a 7-plex assay, and compared it to room temperature ACN and ethyl acetate liquid-liquid extraction. The extracts were dried and resuspended in the mobile phase, and then analyzed using an optimized 1.9 min injection-to-injection liquid chromatography method coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The combination of ACN and CIPS improved the detection for I2S products without significant detriment to other analytes, which is attributable to a more complete coagulation and separation of heme, proteins, and extracted residual salts. Using CIPS for sample cleanup in dried blood spots (DBS) appears to represent a promising and straightforward way of achieving cleaner sample extracts in a new 7-plex LSD screening panel.

Abstract
Cassiopea andromeda (Forsskål, 1775), commonly found across the Indo-Pacific Ocean, the Red Sea, and now also in the warmest areas of the Mediterranean Sea, is a scyphozoan jellyfish that hosts autotrophic dinoflagellate symbionts (family Symbiodiniaceae). Besides supplying photosynthates to their host, these microalgae are known to produce bioactive compounds as long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, polyphenols, and pigments, including carotenoids, with antioxidant properties and other beneficial biological activities. By the present study, a fractionation method was applied on the hydroalcoholic extract from two main body parts (oral arms and umbrella) of the jellyfish holobiont to obtain an improved biochemical characterization of the obtained fractions from the two body parts. The composition of each fraction (i.e., proteins, phenols, fatty acids, and pigments) as well as the associated antioxidant activity were analyzed. The oral arms proved richer in zooxanthellae and pigments than the umbrella. The applied fractionation method was effective in separating pigments and fatty acids into a lipophilic fraction from proteins and pigment-protein complexes. Therefore, the C. andromeda-dinoflagellate holobiont might be considered as a promising natural source of multiple bioactive compounds produced through mixotrophic metabolism, which are of interest for a wide range of biotechnological applications.

Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency's definition of "Green Chemistry" is "the design of chemical products and processes that reduces or eliminates the use or generation of hazardous substances. Green chemistry applies across the life cycle of a chemical product, including its design, manufacture, use, and ultimate disposal." Conventional omic tissue extraction procedures use solvents that are toxic and carcinogenic, such as chloroform and methyl-tert-butyl ether for lipidomics, or caustic chaotropic solutions for genomics and transcriptomics, such as guanidine or urea. A common preservation solution for pathology is formaldehyde, which is a carcinogen. Use of acetonitrile as a universal biospecimen preservation and extraction solvent will reduce these hazardous wastes, because it is less toxic and more environmentally friendly than the conventional solvents used in biorepository and biospecimen research. A new extraction method never applied to multi-omic, system biology research, called cold-induced phase separation (CIPS), uses freezing point temperatures to induce a phase separation of acetonitrile-water mixtures. Also, the CO2 exposure during CIPS will acidify the water precipitating DNA out of aqueous phase. The resulting phase separation brings hydrophobic lipids to the top acetonitrile fraction that is easily decanted from the bottom aqueous fraction, especially when the water is frozen. This CIPS acetonitrile extract contains the lipidome (lipids), the bottom aqueous fraction is sampled to obtain the transcriptome (RNA) fraction, and the remaining water and pellet is extracted with 60% acetonitrile to isolate the metabolome (<1 kD polar molecules). Finally, steps 4 and 5 use a TRIzol™ liquid-liquid extraction SOP of the pellet to isolate the genome (DNA) and proteome (proteins). This chapter details the multi-omic sequential extraction SOP and potential problems associated with each of the 5 steps, with steps 2, 4, and 5 still requiring validation. The metabolomic and lipidomic extraction efficiencies using the CIPS SOP is compared to conventional solvent extraction SOPs and is analyzed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), respectively. Acetonitrile biospecimen preservation combined with the CIPS multi-omic extraction SOP is green chemistry technology that will eliminate the generation of the hazardous substances associated with biospecimen processing and permits separation and safe disposal of acetonitrile avoiding environmental contamination.

Abstract
In human biomonitoring, a high-throughput extraction and enrichment method for multiple types of organic contaminants at the part-per-trillion level is critical yet challenging, especially in the limited sample volume. When large-scale sample analysis is involved, low cost is often what we should consider. We describe a generic and straightforward cold-induced liquid-liquid extraction (CI-LLE) strategy to meet this need. Current methods for extracting and enriching organic contaminants from biological samples often require multistep sample processing, including specially tailoring the extraction solvent or adsorbents. This method uses cold-induced phase separation to achieve the extraction and enrichment of studied organic contaminants by adjusting the proportion of acetonitrile/water mixture, so as to integrate the extraction and enrichment in one step without additional reagents and adsorbents. In this study, fipronil insecticide was used as a representative compound to determine the key parameters of CI-LLE. The optimized CI-LLE procedure allowed simultaneous extraction and enrichment of studied organic contaminants, providing excellent enrichment factors (especially for lipophilic organic contaminants). CI-LLE was further applied in monitoring early life exposures of fipronil in 109 breast milk samples. This study provided baseline data on fipronil levels in breast milk samples from China. For infants, exposure to fipronil is of concern. In summary, CI-LLE provides a feasible solution for a generic, efficient, and low-cost preparation of biological samples and promotes high-throughput batch analysis of organic contaminants for large-scale human biomonitoring.

Abstract
Sex hormones, including androgens, estrogens, and progestogens, are important biomarkers for various diseases. Quantification of sex hormones is typically conducted by LC-MS/MS. At present, most methods require liquid-liquid extraction or solid phase extraction for sample preparation. However, these pretreatments are prone to compromise LC-MS/MS throughput. To improve on the current standard practices, we investigated cold-induced phase separation for sex hormone extraction. After protein precipitation with acetonitrile and adjusting the solution constitution with water, samples were stored at −30°C for 10 min to generate two distinct phases: an acetonitrile-rich layer on top of a water-rich layer. During this process, the hydrophobic sex hormones spontaneously separate into the upper layer. This simple and reliable cold-induced phase separation-based LC-MS/MS methodology was used here to simultaneously detect estrone, estradiol, estriol, testosterone, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone, progesterone, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone in serum. Validation of this method indicated satisfactory performance, including acceptable linearity, accuracy, precision, and tractability. Compared with the mainstream liquid-liquid extraction-based method, this new method exhibits significant progress in throughput, which shortens the time cost of sample preparation from 90 to 40 min. We propose that this method can be an excellent alternative for sex hormone analysis in routine clinical laboratories.

Abstract
Hydrophobins (HFBs) are a group of highly functional, low molecular weight proteins with the ability to self-assemble at hydrophobic-hydrophilic interfaces. The surface active, cysteine-rich proteins are found in filamentous fungi such as Trichoderma reesei. In the present study multiple extraction solvents and conditions were screened for the mycelium bound hydrophobin HFBI and the effects on the total amount of extracted proteins, HFBI recovery and HFBI gushing activity were investigated to gain a more thorough scientific insight on the extraction efficiency and selectivity. Results indicated the enhanced selectivity for HFBI extraction from the fungal biomass using 60% ethanol compared to solutions containing 1% sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS). Complementing the higher selectivity, HFBI recovery was increased from 6.9 ± 0.6 mg HFBI (1% SDS) to 9.4 ± 0.4 mg HFBI per gram dry fungal biomass for extracts containing 60% ethanol. Furthermore, subsequent to HPLC purification, Cold Induced Phase Separation (CIPS) of acetonitrile-water systems was investigated at different pH levels. CIPS at pH 2.0 was found to effectively remove the majority of sorbicillinoid pigments from the purified HFBI fraction. The improved method resulted in a recovery of 85.4% of the extracted HFBI after final purification.

Abstract
Extensive residues of neonicotinoids (neonics) have been demonstrated in food and the environment by routine monitoring measurement, but little is known about the residue levels in "ready to eat" dietary samples. To obtain a more accurate picture of dietary exposure to total neonics, an ultrasensitive and effective cleanup analytical method for the quantification of neonics in dietary samples was established on the basis of cold-induced phase separation and pre-column dilution injection liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry. A total of 10 neonics were quantified in ultratrace amounts (ng/kg) using stable isotope dilution, with calibration curves spanning 4 orders of magnitude. Satisfactory accuracy (73.5-109.2% for the recoveries) and precision (0.6-13.2% for the relative standard deviation ranges) were obtained in method validation. Moreover, tolerable absolute matrix effects (0.89-1.09) were also obtained in 12 kinds of dietary matrices with weak relative matrix effects (2.8-12.6%). The validated method was applied to the dietary samples collected from the Chinese Total Diet Study, and the results showed that 75% of the samples were contaminated with at least one neonicotinoid.

Abstract
The Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe (QuEChERS) method is a simple and straightforward extraction technique involving an initial partitioning followed by an extract clean-up using dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE). Originally, the QuEChERS approach was developed for recovering pesticide residues from fruits and vegetables, but rapidly gained popularity in the comprehensive isolation of analytes from different matrices. According to PubMed, since its development in 2003 up to November 2018, about 1360 papers have been published reporting QuEChERS as extraction method. Several papers have reported different improvements and modifications to the original QuEChERS protocol to ensure more efficient extractions of pH-dependent analytes and to minimize the degradation of labile analytes. This analytical approach shows several advantages over traditional extraction techniques, requiring low sample and solvent volumes, as well as less time for sample preparation. Furthermore, most of the published studies show that the QuEChERS protocol provides higher recovery rate and a better analytical performance than conventional extraction procedures. This review proposes an updated overview of the most recent developments and applications of QuEChERS beyond its original application to pesticides, mycotoxins, veterinary drugs and pharmaceuticals, forensic analysis, drugs of abuse and environmental contaminants. Their pros and cons will be discussed, considering the factors influencing the extraction efficiency. Whenever possible, the performance of the QuEChERS is compared to other extraction approaches. In addition to the evolution of this technique, changes and improvements to the original method are discussed.

Abstract
Recently, the phenomenon of acute poisoning events caused by glyphosate (GLY) had frequently occurred all over the world. The present work reported a simple liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) method for direct determination of GLY and its metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) in human urine by combining cold-induced phase separation (CIPS) with hydrophilic pipette tip solid-phase extraction (PTSPE). First, a urine sample was mixed with acetonitrile at a 80% concentration to precipitate proteins. After centrifugation, the mixture was performed a CIPS at -20 °C to enrich GLY and AMPA (six-fold) in the lower water phase which was further performed PTSPE procedure. PTSPE as a miniaturized procedure of SPE, combined with a manual accu-jet® Pro Pipette Controller, was used to extract GLY and AMPA, in which a new type of hydrophilic adsorbent (HILIC powder) based on amide-modified silica was selected as the adsorption of GLY and AMPA. The key factors including the type and the amount of adsorbent, the loading extraction solution, the type and volume of eluent, and the number of aspirating/dispensing cycles were investigated in detail. Meanwhile, the selectivity and sensitivity of GLY and AMPA analysis were improved by the use of LC-HRMS based on targeted single ion monitoring (tSIM) mode without tedious derivatization. This method made a full use of the advantages of these techniques by combining efficient enrichment, effective extraction and selective separation in a simple way. Finally, a comprehensive validation of the method was rigorously executed and the results indicated that the validated method afforded desired linearity, precision, accuracy, and sensitivity.
