Abstract
A novel reversed phase restrict access material was prepared via two steps of sur. face. initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI. ATRP). The stearyl methacrylate (C-18) and glycidylmethacrylate (GMA) were grafted on inner and outer surfaces of modified silica, allowing brominated silica and CuBr/2, 2-pyridine to serve as macro. initiator and catalyst system. After hydrolysis, we got a hydrophilic reversed phase restrict access material with rich glycol group, which was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrum, elementary analysis and thermogravimetric (TGA) analysis. The static adsorption experiment was employed for evaluating the binding capacity of the novel reversed phase restrict access material. The maximum adsorption amounts of sulfadimethoxine and oxytetracycline were 18.02 and 4.80 mg/g, respectively. The properties of material for the exclusion of proteins like bovine serum albumin (BSA) were evaluated using solid. phase extraction (SPE) and its exclusion value up to 90%. The novel reversed phase restrict access material was used for the separation and enrichment of oxytetracycline in milk. The high. performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to detect the oxytetracycline and the average recovery was 89.19% with the relative standard deviation (RSD) of 3.03%. It is expected that the novel inversed restrict access material combined with HPLC or liquid chromatography. mass (LC-MS) analysis system is applied to the extraction and detection of biological samples.

Abstract
As a result of manure application to arable lands, agricultural ecosystems are often contaminated by veterinary antibiotics. In this study the aptitude of Salix fragilis L. to accumulate and tolerate sulfadimethoxine (SDM) was evaluated, together with the antibiotic effects on the plant development, with particular attention focused on roots.Results showed an antibiotic presence in root tissues, but not in leaves, after one month of SDM exposure to 0.01, 0.1, 1 and 10mg l(-1). A hormetic growth of the hypogeal system was observed, however stress symptoms on the root development were only noticed after treatment to the highest dose. Results obtained from a second test, where new cuttings were exposed to 10mg SDM l(-1)for different periods, suggested that willow tolerance to SDM increased with the exposure duration, probably because of the onset of particular acclimation mechanisms. Therefore, the present work indicates that this woody species could be utilized in the phytoremediation of sulfonamide antibiotics at doses comparable to that found in agricultural ecosystems once obtained appropriate confirmations through future studies at a laboratory and field scale.
