Studying dispersoid systems

Summary Measurements of energy transformation in mitochondria are done on a capillary differential titration calorimeter CTD2156. It is important to mention that a sediment is quickly formed by the mitochondria suspension without mixing by means of a vibrating needle. During the measurements, the vibrating needle is located inside the working volume of the chamber. The design of the calorimeter is substantiated theoretically. It provides a new mode of a reagent input in the measuring volume of the calorimetric chambers. It expands the spectrum of tasks that can be solved using this instrument. In the capillary calorimeter the calorimetric chambers unit is simple and small in size. These advantages of capillary chambers provide an opportunity to unite 20 capillary calorimetric chambers in one calorimetric block. It allows designing a multi-channel titration calorimeter. There are obvious advantages of such a calorimeter over other instruments in screening researches and in researches of objects maintaining stability only for a short time.

Fast simultaneous determination of 23 veterinary drug residues in fish,poultry, and red meat by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry

The misuses of veterinary drugs can result in the accumulation of residues in food of animal origin that can make its way to the final consumer. Herein we describe a simple method for the accurate determination of beta-lactams, quinolones, sulphonamides, and tetracyclines in fish, poultry, and red meat. No extraction cartridges were used; instead, the extraction process consisted of the addition of an organic solvents, shaking, centrifugation, and dilution. An extensive validation process demonstrated an excellent linearity (R² ≥ 0.99) for 23-drug residues. The recovery of drugs in different matrices at two concentration levels (n = 6) was in the range of 82–119%. The method was proved to be repeatable and reproducible with intra/inter-day measurements (RSDs lower than 20%). The quantification limits of drug residues were in the range of 0.8 to 45.3 ug/kg, which is well below the maximum residue limits set by most regulatory authorities. This method was successfully applied to the routine analysis of 20 fish, poultry, and red meat samples (n = 60).     

Comparative bioanalytical study of3H-deramciclane in dog plasma, using a gas chromatography-nitrogen-selective detection (GC-NPD), a new GC-radiochemical detection (GC-RD) and a liquid scintillation method

Summary A new, highly sensitive and selective gas chromatography method, using radiochemical detection (GC-DR) was developed for the selective determination of³H-labelled deramciclane and its N-desmethyl metabolite in dog plasma. Inter-day accuracy and precision, as well as system suitability of the GC-RD method was investigated during the method validation. The calibration curve was proved to be linear (r=0.9986) in a wide concentration range (13–1000 ngeqv mL⁻¹) The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 13.7 ngeqv mL⁻¹, and the limit of the detection (LOD) was 1 ngeqv mL⁻¹. Using this new GC-RD method, plasma levels of³H-labelled deramciclane and its metabolite were determined in dogs, after the administration of a single 10 mg kg⁻¹ oral dose. Pharmacokinetic curves and the calculated pharmacokinetic parameters were compared to those obtained using a previously elaborated gas chromatography-nitrogen selective detection method (GC-NPD) and to those obtained by measuring the plasma level of total radioactivity (liquid scintillation counting, LSC). Pharmacokinetic curves and the calculated pharmacokinetic parameters obtained with the two different gas chromatography detection methods (NPD and RD) showed good correlation. Comparison of these results to those acquired by total radioactivity measurement demonstrated that deramciclane was intensively metabolised. Moreover, the biological half-life (t ₁ ^2/β ) of the unknown metabolites proved to be more than a magnitude longer than the half-life of the parent compound or that of N-desmethyl metabolite.

Magnetic susceptibility of liquid gold-indium-zinc alloys

Summary Alloys of the ternary system gold-indium-zinc with a variable content of goldx _Au at a constant ratio ofx _In:x _Zn=1:1 have been investigated by susceptibility measurements from 300 K up to 1500 K with emphasis on the liquid state. The magnetic susceptibilities of the homogeneous liquids were found to vary in a non-linear manner with temperature and composition. At temperatures close to the liquid-solid transition, the susceptibilities pass through a characteristic minimum which tends to disappear with increasing temperature. The anomaly located atx _Au 0.6 seems to be related to a particular valence electron concentration ofe/a 1.6.

Magnetische Suszeptibilität von flüssigen Gold-Indium-Zink-Legierungen

Zusammenfassung Legierungen des ternären Systems Gold-Indium-Zink mit einem variablen Goldgehaltx _Au bei konstantem Indium-Zink-Verhältnis (x _In:x _Zn=1:1) wurden zwischen 300 und 1500 K auf ihre magnetische Suszeptibilität untersucht. Das Hauptaugenmerk wurde dabei auf den flüssigen Zustand gelegt. Die magnetischen Suszeptibilitäten der homogenen Schmelzen variieren nichtlinear mit Temperatur und Zusammensetzung. Bei Temperaturen nahe dem übergang flüssig-fest tritt ein charakteristisches Minimum der Suszeptibilität auf, das mit steigender Temperatur verschwindet. Die Anomalie bei einemx _Au vonca. 0.6 scheint mit einer speziellen Valenzelektronenkonzentration (e/a) von etwa 1.6 verknüpft zu sein.
