Automated in-syringe single-drop head-space micro-extraction applied to the determination of ethanol in wine samples

A novel approach of head-space single-drop micro-extraction applied to the determination of ethanol in wine is presented. For the first time, the syringe of an automated syringe pump was used as an extraction chamber of adaptable size for a volatile analyte. This approach enabled to apply negative pressure during the enrichment step, which favored the evaporation of the analyte. Placing a slowly spinning magnetic stirring bar inside the syringe, effective syringe cleaning as well as mixing of the sample with buffer solution to suppress the interference of acetic acid was achieved.     

Automated flow-based anion-exchange method for high-throughput isolation and real-time monitoring of RuBisCO in plant extracts

In this work, a miniaturized, completely enclosed multisyringe-flow system is proposed for high-throughput purification of RuBisCO from Triticum aestivum extracts. The automated method capitalizes on the uptake of the target protein at 4 °C onto Q-Sepharose Fast Flow strong anion-exchanger packed in a cylindrical microcolumn (105 × 4 mm) followed by a stepwise ionic-strength gradient elution (0-0.8 mol/L NaCl) to eliminate concomitant extract components and retrieve highly purified RuBisCO. The manifold is furnished downstream with a flow-through diode-array UV/vis spectrophotometer for real-time monitoring of the column effluent at the protein-specific wavelength of 280 nm to detect the elution of RuBisCO. Quantitation of RuBisCO and total soluble proteins in the eluate fractions were undertaken using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and the spectrophotometric Bradford assay, respectively. A comprehensive investigation of the effect of distinct concentration gradients on the isolation of RuBisCO and experimental conditions (namely, type of resin, column dimensions and mobile-phase flow rate) upon column capacity and analyte breakthrough was effected. The assembled set-up was aimed to critically ascertain the efficiency of preliminary batchwise pre-treatments of crude plant extracts (viz., polyethylenglycol (PEG) precipitation, ammonium sulphate precipitation and sucrose gradient centrifugation) in terms of RuBisCO purification and absolute recovery prior to automated anion-exchange column separation. Under the optimum physical and chemical conditions, the flow-through column system is able to admit crude plant extracts and gives rise to RuBisCO purification yields better than 75%, which might be increased up to 96 ± 9% with a prior PEG fractionation followed by sucrose gradient step.     

A comparative study of magnetic resonance venography techniques for the evaluation of the internal jugular veins in multiple sclerosis patients

Background and Purpose

The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess the vascular nature of diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) is a growing field of research. This work reports on the application of MR angiographic (MRA) and venographic (MRV) techniques in assessing the extracranial vasculature in MS patients.

Materials and Methods

A standardized MRI protocol containing 2D TOF-MRV and dynamic 3D contrast-enhanced (CE) MRAV was run for 170 MS patients and 40 healthy controls (HC). The cross-sectional area (CSA) of the internal jugular veins (IJVs) was measured at three neck levels in all subjects for both MRV techniques to determine the presence of venous stenoses. All data were analyzed retrospectively.

Results

For the values where both methods showed signal, the 3D method showed larger CSA measurement values compared to 2D methods in both IJVs, in both MS and HC subjects which was confirmed with student paired t-tests. Of the 170 MS patients, 93 (55%) in CE-MRAV and 103 (61%) in TOF-MRV showed stenosis in at least one IJV. The corresponding numbers for the 40 HC subjects were 2 (5%) and 4 (10%), respectively. Carotid ectasias with IJV stenosis were seen in 26 cases (15%) with 3D CE-MRAV and were not observable with 2D TOF-MRV. Carotid ectasias were not seen in the HC group. In the 2D TOF-MRV data, banding of the IJVs related to slow flow was seen in 58 (34%) MS cases and in no HC cases. MS patients showed lower average CSAs than the HC subjects.

Conclusion

The 3D CE MRAV depicted the vascular anatomy more completely than the 2D TOF-MRV. However, the 3D CE MRAV does not provide any information about the flow characteristics which are indirectly available in the 2D TOF-MRV in those cases where there is slow flow.

应用高真空重量法(分别以苯和正庚烷为吸附质)和低温N2吸附法对REUSY-Ex的吸附性能和二次孔结构进行了研究.结果表明,在水热处理过程中可产生二次孔结构,且二次孔的形成与水热处理的脱铝深度相关.稀HCl浸取REUSY不仅能浸取出位于其二次孔中的非骨架铝(EFAL)碎片,而且还能浸取出位于微孔中的EFAL。29Si MAS NMR的结果显示,稀HCl浸取后,骨架Si(OAl)的谱宽变窄,裂分效果提高,表明其化学环境单一或均匀.     

Improvement of the capabilities of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry by replacing the desolvation system of an ultrasonic nebulization system with a pre-evaporation tube

The effect of replacing the desolvation system (i.e., heater/condenser (HC) and membrane desolvator (MD)) of an ultrasonic nebulizer (USN) system with a pre-evaporation tube (PET) that is heated to about 400 °C on the analytical capabilities of inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP–OES) was investigated. A multivariate optimisation was conducted in each case to find operating conditions maximizing plasma robustness. Under optimum conditions, the analytical performance of ICP–OES was significantly improved (i.e., better sensitivity, detection limit and plasma robustness) with USN–PET compared to that achieved with both the commercially-available USN–HC–MD and a conventional pneumatic nebulizer/spray chamber sample introduction system. However, only the USN–PET approach allows the determination of Hg, which appears to otherwise be lost in the heater/condenser system. Using a simple external calibration, without any matrix matching, and using an argon emission line for internal standardization, the results obtained for the determination of trace elements in certified soil reference materials (SRM 2710 and 2711) by USN–PET were in good agreement with certified values. This is unlike with conventional sample introduction systems where internal standardization using an Ar line is unusual, as it does not compensate for physical interferences, and either internal standardization (with internal standards added to the sample and standard solutions) or matrix-matched calibration is required.     

Purification and stability of glutaryl-7-ACA acylase from pseudomonas sp.

The enzyme glutaryl-7-ACA acylase fromPseudomonas sp. NCIMB 40474, produced by a recombinantEscherichia coli host, was purified to homogeneity. The enzyme is a tetramer composed of two couples of asymmetric dimers, each of them constituted of two subunits of mol wt 18 and 52 kDa, respectively. It was found that glutaric acid, one of the products of the substrate hydrolysis, is an effective acylase inhibitor. Between pH 6.0 and pH 10.0, the enzymatic activity is almost constant, but below pH 6.0 it progressively declines. The acylase activity decreased sharply as a function of guanidine HC1 concentration. The loss is significant even at concentrations of denaturant lower than those causing unfolding, as suggested by UV spectroscopy and fluorescence emission studies. In these conditions (low denaturant concentration and low pH) the inactivation of the enzyme is caused by the tetramer dissociation into dimers. The lability of the quaternary structure of the enzyme is a key feature that must be taken into account for the improvement of the catalyst stability.     

不同金属改性对Pt/β-分子筛催化柴油车尾气中HC、CO及SO_2氧化性能的影响

采用共浸渍法制备了Ce、Cr、Mo和Cu改性的Pt/β-分子筛催化剂,运用氮吸附、XRD、H_2-TPR、NH_3-TPD和XPS等手段对该催化剂进行了表征,研究了不同金属改性对催化剂的织构性质、骨架结构、表面酸性以及在模拟柴油车尾气中抑制SO_2氧化性能和催化HC、CO氧化活性的影响。结果表明,金属改性对催化剂织构性能和骨架结构影响较小。Cr、Mo和Cu的添加可以调变催化剂酸强度,进而抑制SO_2的氧化;Cu改性的催化剂具有最好的抑制SO_2氧化的能力,在350和450℃条件下,与未改性Pt/β-分子筛催化剂相比,Cu改性催化剂上SO_2转化率分别下降了70.4%和70.2%。然而,改性金属与Pt物种之间产生的相互作用,会使Pt物种更难还原,导致Pt对HC和CO氧化的催化活性降低。     

Ion-Pairing High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic Determintation of Pyridoxine and Pyrithioxine in Dosage Forms

Abstract

An ion-pairing High-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the simultaneous determination of pyridoxine HCI and pyrithioxine 2HCI in dosage forms. A reversed-phase chromatography using tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as the counter-ion was employed. the analysis was carried out utilizing an Aminopropylsilicon-(APS-Hypersil) 5 μm column. Calibration curves were rectilinear over the concentration range 5–40 μg/ml for pyridoxine HCI and 10–100 μg/ml for pyrithioxine 2HCi with minimum detectability (S/N=2) of 0.02 and 0.08 μg/ml respectively. the proposed method was applied to tablets containing the two species, and the results obtained were accurate and precise.
