Method and portable device for rapidly detecting nitrite in saliva
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medical examination, and particularly relates to a method and a portable device for rapidly detecting nitrite in saliva.
Background
Nitrite, a generic term for a class of inorganic compounds that are widely found in the human environment, is one of the most prevalent nitrogen-containing compounds in nature. If a person takes excessive nitrite, the nitrite oxidizes ferrous hemoglobin in blood to generate methemoglobin in vivo, so that the ferrohemoglobin loses the functions of carrying oxygen and transporting oxygen, thereby causing hypoxia of tissues. The sources of nitrite in the human body are of two types, food intake and self-production. Nitrite is used as an excellent bacteriostatic agent and preservative, and is widely used in the processing of meat products. Nitric oxide is a simple free radical gas molecule and is also a very important signal transduction molecule of human body, and the physiological, pathological and medicinal values of nitric oxide are widely accepted. Under the condition of normal oxygen, L-arginine is catalyzed and oxidized by nitric oxide synthetase to generate L-citrulline and nitric oxide at the same time. Nitrite, nitrate are the major and stable metabolites of nitric oxide. In addition, the oral symbiotic nitrate reductase also converts ingested nitrate to nitrite. Nitrite can react with amine substances in an external or in-vivo acidic environment to finally form a strong carcinogenic substance, namely nitrosamine, so that canceration of a digestive system is induced in vivo. After a large amount of nitrite enters a human body, hypoxia, enterogenous cyanosis, teratogenesis and the like are caused to harm human health. The nitrite content in humans is a marker of inflammation and possibly of the occurrence of tumors or cancer, and a high nitrate content in saliva means the occurrence of disease or inflammation and unhealthy diet. The determination of the nitrite content in saliva can be an important indicator of the body's function.
At present, the experimental methods for detecting nitrite reported at home and abroad include ion chromatography, spectrophotometry, fluorescence photometry, high performance liquid chromatography and the like. The determination of nitrite content in the national food safety standard GB 5009.33-2016 also adopts ion chromatography or spectrophotometry, and nitrite in blood or urine is usually detected by Griess kit or high performance liquid chromatography. For example, the Chinese patent application (application publication No. CN103760121A, application publication date 2014.04.30) discloses a method for detecting nitrite in blood, which uses a porous plate and an enzyme-labeling instrument to measure the absorbance of a colored complex formed by nitrite and Griess, and uses blood without nitrite as a base solution for preparing a working curve, thereby eliminating the interference of a blood base and improving the sensitivity and accuracy of detection. The method has the characteristics of high accuracy, large detection sample quantity, small detection sample quantity, high detection efficiency and the like.
For example, the Chinese patent application (application publication No. CN 103235093A, application publication No. 2013.08.07) discloses a method for detecting nitrate and nitrite in blood, urine and tissue, wherein nitrate ions and an ion pair reagent form an ion pair under a weak acid condition, and the nitrite and a Griess reagent undergo a diazotization coupling reaction to form an azo compound, so that the nitrate and nitrite which cannot be retained on a chromatographic column and have no ultraviolet absorption can be subjected to liquid chromatography analysis at different wavelengths simultaneously, and mutual interference is eliminated. The method has great applicability to the detection of nitrate and nitrite in blood, urine and tissues with great matrix interference and low content, and the detection limits of the nitrate and the nitrite are 0.2 mu g/mL and 0.05 mu g/mL respectively. The method has the characteristics of simple operation, quick, effective and accurate measurement and the like.
For another example, the Chinese patent application (application publication No. CN 104280383A, application publication No. 2015.01.14) discloses a method for rapidly detecting nitrite in blood and urine, which comprises the steps of carrying out diazotization coupling reaction on nitrite and Griess reagent to form azo compound, carrying out cloud point extraction, depositing colored azo compound at the bottom of a centrifugal tube, comparing the red color of the tube bottom with a standard color scale, and judging the content according to the color depth. However, because the enrichment times of cloud point extraction are large, and the blood and urine are decolorized and deproteinized, the interference is greatly eliminated, and the detection limit of nitrite in the system can reach 0.01 mu g/mL. The invention has the characteristics of simplicity, rapidness, high sensitivity, field detection and the like.
For another example, the chinese invention patent application (application publication No. CN 104458712A, application publication date: 2015.03.25) discloses a high-sensitivity rapid detection method for nitrite in blood and urine, which utilizes the diazo coupling reaction between nitrite and Griess reagent to form azo compound, uses nonionic surfactant including fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether AEO series to perform cloud point extraction, and has the characteristics of mild operation conditions, low cloud point temperature, short phase separation time, high extraction efficiency, and the like. The detection limit of nitrite in the system can reach 0.005 mu g/mL. The invention has the characteristics of simplicity, rapidness, high sensitivity, field detection and the like.
Although the detection methods reported in the patent documents have uniqueness, the detection processes all need professional personnel and professional instruments, and the operation process is complicated, long in time consumption, high in cost and limited to a certain extent.
Generally, the method can be applied to the field and can give out a detection result within 30min, namely, the method can be regarded as a field rapid detection method. The existing method for rapidly detecting nitrite mainly determines the content of nitrite according to the color reaction of the nitrite and a color developing agent, generally adopts the forms of test paper, a kit and the like, but lacks a portable rapid and accurate detection device. Although the test paper can achieve the purpose of rapidness and portability, the test paper can only detect the content of the nitrite qualitatively and semi-quantitatively, and a portable method and a portable device which can conveniently detect and accurately quantify are clinically and particularly needed to be applied to clinical and individual self-detection. In recent years, the relationship between nitrate and nitrite and inflammation and disease in the human body has been receiving increased attention and has been reported. Saliva, a body fluid that is abundant and easy to collect, is most suitable as a first choice for detecting diseases and inflammations. With the increasing severity of health and safety problems, how to realize the rapid, sensitive, simple, convenient and accurate detection of the content of nitrite in saliva by using a portable device has a very important significance for the healthy life of people.
