枸橼酸二乙酯、枸橼酸钠和膦甲酸钠对高钙诱导小鼠血管平滑肌细胞钙化的抑制（英文）

在高钙及不同浓度枸橼酸二乙酯(Et_2Cit)、枸橼酸钠(Na_3Cit)和膦甲酸钠(PFA)存在下培养小鼠血管平滑肌细胞(MOVAS)14 d,分别通过茜素红染色、免疫荧光和annexin V染色检测细胞的分化、凋亡和细胞钙沉积量,研究了Et_2Cit、Na_3Cit和PFA对高钙诱导MOVAS细胞钙化的抑制效果及可能的作用机制。结果表明,Et_2Cit、Na_3Cit和PFA均能减少高钙诱导的MOVAS钙化,减少细胞外钙化斑块和钙沉积量。这些抑制剂均能抑制平滑肌细胞向成骨样细胞表型转化,导致向成骨细胞转化的标记物碱性磷酸酶(ALP)活性降低。抑制效果均存在浓度依赖性。当抑制剂浓度相同时,其抑制效果从大到小为:PFANa_3CitEt_2Cit。低浓度的Et_2Cit和Na_3Cit可通过减少细胞凋亡来抑制钙化,但高浓度的Et_2Cit、Na_3Cit和PFA自身具有毒性,这增加了细胞的凋亡。作为血液抗凝剂的Et_2Cit和Na_3Cit可以有效地抑制MOVAS的钙化。

关于在钾与负氢混合物中钾钙嬗变的检测

报道了在室温下钾与负氢混合物中钾钙发生嬗变的现象，负氢是由NaBH₄、LiBH₄和NH₃BH₃提供的.实验中的钾和钙的浓度分别用诱导耦合等离子发射光谱法（ICP-OES）和诱导耦合等离子质谱法（ICP-MS）进行检测.ICP-OES结果表明随着混合物中钾浓度的降低伴随着钙的浓度增加.此外ICP-MS结果还表明⁴⁰Ca浓度的增加伴随着⁴¹K浓度的增加，可能表明在负氢存在的条件下混合物中⁴⁰Ca的生成与⁴¹K物种有关.

The salting-out effect and phase separation in aqueous solutions of tri-sodium citrate and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide

The aim of this work is to obtain further evidence about the salting-out effect produced by the addition of tri-sodium citrate to aqueous solutions of water miscible ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₄mim][Br]) by evaluating the effect of tri-sodium citrate on the thermodynamic properties of aqueous solutions of this ionic liquid. Experimental measurements of density and sound velocity at different temperatures ranging from (288.15 to 308.15) K, the refractive index at 308.15 K and the liquid–liquid phase diagram at different temperatures ranging from (288.15 to 338.15) K for aqueous solutions containing 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([C₄mim][Br]) and tri-sodium citrate (Na₃Cit) are taken. The apparent molar volume of transfer of [C₄mim][Br] from water to aqueous solutions of Na₃Cit have positive values and it increases by increasing salt molality. Although at high IL molality, the apparent molar isentropic compressibility shows similar behaviour with that of the apparent molar volume. However at low concentrations of IL, the apparent molar isentropic compressibility of transfer of [C₄mim][Br] from water to aqueous solutions of Na₃Cit have negative values. The effects of temperature and the addition of Na₃Cit and [C₄mim][Br] on the liquid–liquid phase diagram of the investigated system have been studied. It was found that an increase in temperature caused the expansion of the one-phase region. The presence of Na₃Cit triggers a salting-out effect, leading to significant upward shifts of the liquid–liquid de-mixing temperatures of the system. The effect of temperature on the phase-forming ability in the system investigated has been studied based on a salting-out coefficient obtained from fitting the binodal values to a Setschenow-type equation for each temperature. Based on cloud point values, the energetics of the clouding process have been estimated and it was found that both of entropy and enthalpy are the driving forces for biphasic formation.     

Citrate and calcium determination in flavored vodkas using artificial neural networks

The development of multianalyte sensing schemes by combining indicator-displacement assays with artificial neural network analysis (ANN) for the evaluation of calcium and citrate concentrations in flavored vodkas is presented. This work follows a previous report where an array-less approach was used for the analysis of unknown solutions containing the structurally similar analytes, tartrate and malate. Herein, a two component sensor suite consisting of a synthetic host and the commercially available complexometric dye, xylenol orange, was created. Differential UV-Visible spectral responses result for solutions containing various concentrations of calcium and citrate. The quantitation of the relative calcium and citrate concentrations in unknown mixtures of flavored vodka samples was determined through ANN analysis. The calcium and citrate concentrations in the flavored vodka samples provided by the sensor suite and the ANN methodology described here are compared to values reported by NMR of the same flavored vodkas. We expect that this multianalyte sensing scheme may have potential applications for the analysis of other complex fluids.     

Effects of citrate on the composition and enzymic coagulation of colloidal bovine casein aggregates

Colloidal casein aggregates (CCA) prepared from soluble whole bovine caseinates in the presence of Ca²⁺ and phosphate (Pi) ions by addition of different citrate (Cit) concentrations showed different mineral and proteic composition. Citrate concentration conditions the Ca and Pi concentrations incorporated into CCA, probably due to the complexing effect of this anion on calcium. A significant change in the incorporated Ca/Pi ratio at 8 mM citrate could very likely be associated to changes in CCA net charge. The incorporation of individual caseins to the colloidal particles obtained, as well as their average size and size distribution, depended also on the Cit concentration used [Cit]_P. α_S- and β-caseins assembled in the CCA structure sharply decreased at a [Cit]_P higher than 15 mM, i.e., at a low Ca²⁺ concentration in the aggregates, showing that the presence of this cation is necessary for the incorporation of these caseins. An inverse relationship between the aggregation step rate in CCA enzymic coagulation and their average size was observed. The aggregation rate vs the average size curve obtained at [Cit]_P 8 mM clearly differed from the curves obtained at 10 and 12 mM, respectively, a fact probably related to a change in the CCA net charge. This behavior showed the effect of citrate concentration on CCA functional properties.

Critical Reappraisal of Methods for Measuring Urine Saturation with Calcium Salts

Background: Metabolic and physicochemical evaluation is recommended to manage the condition of patients with nephrolithiasis. The estimation of the saturation state (β values) is often included in the diagnostic work-up, and it is preferably performed through calculations. The free concentrations of constituent ions are estimated by considering the main ionic soluble complexes. It is contended that this approach is liable to an overestimation of β values because some complexes may be overlooked. A recent report found that β values could be significantly lowered upon the addition of new and so far neglected complexes, [Ca(PO₄)Cit]⁴⁻ and [Ca₂H₂(PO₄)₂]. The aim of this work was to assess whether these complexes can be relevant to explaining the chemistry of urine. Methods: The Ca–phosphate–citrate aqueous system was investigated by potentiometric titrations. The stability constants of the parent binary complexes [Cacit]⁻ and [CaPO₄]⁻, and the coordination tendency of PO₄³⁻ toward [Ca(cit)]⁻ to form the ternary complex, were estimated. β_CaOx and β_CaHPO4 were then calculated on 5 natural urines by chemical models, including or not including the [CaPO₄]⁻ and [Ca(PO₄)cit]⁴⁻ species. Results: Species distribution diagrams show that the [Ca(PO₄)cit]⁴⁻ species was only noticeable at pH > 8.5 and below 10% of the total calcium. β values estimated on natural urine were slightly lowered by the formation of [CaPO₄]⁻ species, whereas [Ca(PO₄)cit]⁴⁻ results were irrelevant. Conclusions: While [CaPO₄]⁻ species have an impact on saturation levels at higher pHs, the existence of ternary complex and of the dimer is rejected.

Vapor–liquid equilibria of binary tri-potassium citrate + water and ternary polypropylene oxide 400 + tri-potassium citrate + water systems from isopiestic measurements over a range of temperatures

Water activity measurements have been carried out on the aqueous solutions of both tri-potassium citrate (K₃Cit) and polypropylene oxide (PPO) 400 + K₃Cit over a range of temperatures at atmospheric pressure. The data obtained is used to calculate the vapor pressure as a function of temperature and concentration. The effect of temperature on the constant water activity lines of aqueous PPO + K₃Cit systems has been studied and it was found that, at higher temperatures the higher concentration of polymer is in equilibrium with a certain concentration of the salt. Also it was found that the vapor pressure depression for an aqueous PPO + K₃Cit system is more than the sum of those for the corresponding binary solutions. The experimental water activities have been correlated successfully with the segment-based local composition Wilson model. The agreement between the correlation and the experimental data is good.     

Flow-Injection Spectrophotometric Determination of Oxalate,Citrate and Tartrate Based on Photochemical Reactions

Abstract

A flow-injection configuration for the spectrophotometric determination of oxalate, citrate and tartrate is proposed. The procedure is based on the photochemical decomposition of the complexes formed between iron(III) and these anions. The iron(II) produced in the photochemical reactions was detected by measuring the absorbance after complexation with ferrozine (λ_max=562 nm). Linear calibration graphs were obtained over the concentration ranges 5.0 × 10^?6 - 1.0 × 10^?4 M, 8 × 10^?6 - 1.8 × 10^?4 M and 1.0 × 10^?6 - 2 × 10^?5 M for oxalate, citrate and tartrate, respectively. The relative standard deviations at the 1x10^?5 M concentration level were within the range 1.29 - 1.47 %. The sampling frequency was about 40 samples h^?1. The usefulness of the method was tested in the determination of oxalate in urine and spinach, of citrate in pharmaceuticals and soft drinks and of tartrate in pharmaceuticals. For the determination of oxalate in urine samples a prior separation of the analyte by precipitation with calcium chloride is recommended.
