The lung, spleen, brain, liver, kidney and testis of each rat were digested in the microwave digestion instrument by adding 2 mL 65% nitric acid (HNO3). The digested samples were diluted to 10 mL using ultra-pure water. The indium concentration in tissues was determined using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS 7500a, Agilent, USA). Rhodium was used as an internal standard for the indium measurement. The quantitative detection limit of indium was 0.045 µg/g for lung tissue. For all measurements, nitric acid blank and indium standards were prepared and concurrently tested with test samples. Tissues from the control group at different time points were dissolved similarly. The tissue concentration of indium was calculated using the following equations: [indium] treated tissue (μg/g wet tissue) = [indium] tissue suspension/wet weight of tissue.

We determined total As and As speciation according to the previous methods used for algal sample preparation and As analysis [9 ]. In brief, approximately 0.02 g of oven-dried algal samples were treated overnight by means of microwave assisted digestion. Afterwards, samples were further diluted to measure As using ICP-MS. We had a good recovery rate (92.3% ± 5.6%) using a standard reference sample (GBW08521, the National Research Center for Standard Materials of China). Additionally, approximately 0.02 g of the freeze-dried algal samples was treated overnight. After microwave assisted digestion, samples were filtered using 0.45 μm filters. We then used HPLC-ICP-MS (Agilent LC1100 series coupled with the Agilent ICP-MS 7500a) to measure As speciation in algal extracts and media.

Bone marrow samples were homogenized at 4℃ (Bench top Homogenizer 300 DS PRO Scientific, Inc., Oxford, CT, USA). Total lipids from 0.8 g of the homogenized tissue were extracted [19 (link)]. Extracted lipids and oils blend samples were transmethylated, using 14% boron trifloride in methanol, to fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) [20 (link)].

PGE2 analysis was performed in duplicate using a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique using a rabbit polyclonal antibody PGE2 kit (Oxford Biomedical Research, Inc., Oxford, MI, USA). PGE2 levels were expressed as ng/g bone.
Measurements of Ca, Mg, and Zn concentrations were performed in triplicate using an inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (ICP-MS 7500A, Agilent Technologies, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA), and P concentration was measured in triplicate using the molybdo-vanadate colorimetric method according to the AOAC [21 ]; optical density was measured at 410 nm using a UV/Visible 160A Shimadzu spectrophotometer, Kyoto, Japan. Mineral concentration was expressed as mg/g bone.

The extinction spectra were measured using a Shimadzu UV-3600 Plus ultraviolet/visible/near-infrared spectrophotometer with 0.5 cm optical path length plastic cuvettes. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging was carried out using a microscope (Hitachi HT 7700) operating at 120 kV. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) imaging, high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy (HAADF-STEM) characterization and elemental mapping were performed using an FEI Tecnai F20 microscope operating at 200 kV, which was equipped with an Oxford energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis system. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed using a Panalytical Empyrean diffractometer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed using a SHIMADZU AXIS Ultra DLD. Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns were captured using a ThermoFisher Talos F200X.

The dispersion characteristic of inorganic nanoparticles in hydrogels was analyzed by LA-ICPMS. Briefly, 100 μL of the gel solution was transferred to a cover glass. The size and shape of the test samples were similar to those formed using a 48 well plate. Then, the slide was placed into the incubator to allow for gelation. A laser ablation system (Model: UP-213, New Wave Re- search Inc., Fremont, CA, Nd:YAG 213 nm wavelength) was used for sample ablation and the ablated fouling samples were introduced into a inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (7500a ICP-MS, Agilent Technology, Inc. USA) for element determination. The line scan mode was conducted under the following condition: a pulse rate of 10 Hz, a 150 μm diameter beam at a traveling velocity 100 μm/s, energy output 4 J/cm2, focused spot size 110 μm, transport Ar gas flow 1.01 L/min, dwell time 8 s, and intersite pause 1 s. The LA-ICP-MS scan range was 3000 μm × 2850 μm and a total of 900 lines covered the entire area of the tested gel sample.

For in situ B distribution, fresh main‐veins of boric acid‐treated Citrus leaves were transversely sectioned (24 µm) with an MEV freezing microtome (Slee Medical, Mainz, Germany). Cryosections were mounted on poly‐l‐lysine‐coated glass slides and then freeze‐dried at −40°C immediately to minimize B diffusion. Prepared slides were photographed with a light microscope before being applied to GeoLasPro LA‐ICP‐MS (Coherent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). Laser ablation was performed in line scanning mode with carrier helium gas flow of 600 ml min−1, laser power set to 20% and laser spot diameter of 20 µm. The 7500a ICP‐MS (Agilent) was set up in time‐resolved analysis mode, and the resulting amounts of B were reported in counts per second. Finally, a B distribution contour was generated from the ICP‐MS data that represents the total count of the B signal at each time point using OriginPro 9.0 (Origin Lab, Northampton, MA, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
