Dosage polarographique du brome a l'echelle du nanogramme: Application à la determination du brome sanguin et urinairePolarographic determination of bromide at nanomolar levels. Application to the determination of bromide in blood and urine

Polarographic determination of bromide at nanomolar levels. Application to the determination of bromide in blood and urine.Colorimetric methods for bromide determination lack adequate sensitivity for normal levels in biological fluids. A sensitive amplification process is recommended: bromide is oxidized to bromate with hypochlorite; after reaction between bromate and excess of bromide, the bromine formed is extracted into chloroform and then reduced to bromide by ammonia; these different steps can be repeated. Alternating current polarography of bromate allows selective evaluation in biological fluids. The detection limit is 10^-6 M and can be reduced to 10^-9 M with further amplification steps. The effects of iodide and of instrumental parameters are discussed.     

两组份互穿网络聚合物的合成研究

以蓖麻油聚氨酯和聚醚聚氨酯的不同重量比与光敏剂、催化剂、稀释剂、促进剂所组成的多相体系为反应物,分别在紫外光照射和加热的条件下合成网络Ⅰ和网络Ⅱ的互穿网络聚合物(IPN)。改变网络Ⅱ聚醚聚氨酯中各组份的摩尔比制得系列样品。红外光谱,应力-应变曲线和动态力学性能测定发现,样品的力学性能与两组份重量比和网络Ⅱ中不同组成都存在着一定关系。这些结果,为该体系IPN的合成和应用提供了一定依据。

Spectrophotometry Determination of Copper and Palladium Using Some 1,3,5-Triphenylformazans

A new rapid and accurate method for the spectrophotometric microdetermination of Cu(II) and Pd(II) using some 1,3,5-triphenylformazans (I) is given. The optimum conditions for the formation of the complexes are extensively investigated. The ligands form 1:1 and 1:2 (M:L) complexes with Cu and Pd ions, Beer's law is obeyed up to 3.8 and 6.5 ppm Cu and Pd respectively. The influence of foreign ions is investigated. The ligands were used successfully as indicators in spectrophotometric titration of Cu and Pd ions with EDTA and CDTA.     

Über die Phosphidierung des Nickels durch Phosphortrichlorid

On the Phosphidation of Nickel by Phosphorus Trichloride The phosphidation of nickel sheets by phosphorus trichloride vapor of 30 and 50 Torr has been studied kinetically by gravimetric means in the temperature range of 400–650°C in hydrogen atmosphere. The phosphidation proceeded generally according to the parabolic rate law. The parabolic rate constant increased with an increase of temperature, and its temperature dependence yielded the activation energies of about 33 and 47 kcal/mole for 400–550 and 550–650°C, respectively. X-ray and electron microprobe analyses showed that surfaces of the specimens phosphidized are made up of mixtures of Ni₂P and Ni₆P₅, and that at the phosphide/metal interface the compound Ni₂P is formed. The experiments using argon as carrier gas resulted in the formation of both the phosphides and the chlorides, and this fact could be explained in terms of thermodynamics.     

Formation of pyrazine derivatives from D-glucosamine and their deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strand breakage activity

Two pyrazine derivatives [fructosazine (3) and deoxyfructosazine (6)] were simultaneously formed in a solution of D-glucosamine hydrochloride under various conditions. They showed deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strand breakage activity in plasmid pBR322 comparable to that of D-glucosamine. The DNA strand breakage by fructosazine (3) was stimulated by Cu2+.     

Prospective study to assess the clinical efficacy of bone scintigraphy--some analyses of clinical data

The value of preoperative bone scans in patients with primary breast and prostate cancer was evaluated prospectively. Of 414 patients with breast cancer, clinical stage I is 14, II is 219, IIIA is 59, IIIB is 39 and IV is 14. Of 88 patients with prostate cancer, clinical stage I is 14, II is 15, III is 18 and IV is 41. 11 percent of patients with breast cancer and 54 percent of patients with prostate cancer had bone metastases. Clavicle, ribs, thoracic spine, lumbar spine and pelvis metastasized most frequently. The incidences of bone metastases were 18.4% with Scirrhous carcinoma, 15.4% with Medullary tubular carcinoma and 3.8% with Papillotubular carcinoma. The methodology and results of ROC analysis were described in our other papers. Some results of data analysis were described in this paper.     

Determination of phenol and catechol concentrations with oxygen probes coated with immobilized enzymes or immobilized cells

The enzyme phenol 2-hydroxylase was immobilized on Sepharose and used in conjunction with an O₂ electrode for quantitating phenol. Similarly, catechol 1,2-oxygenase was used for quantitating catechol. A third probe was prepared by immobilization ofTrichosporon cutaneum cells rather than purified phenol 2-hydroxylase for phenol quantitation. The whole cell system gave results comparable to the immobilized enzyme system.     

A Study of the Silylation of 1,8-Dihydroxynaphthalene

Twelve compounds each having a six membered Si-contained heterocycle, have been successfully synthesized. Of these eleven compounds have never been reported in the literature. The structures were confirmed by Spectral analysis and elementary analysis. The stability and properties of these compounds is also discussed.     

Direct determination of gentamicin components by capillary electrophoresis with potential gradient detection

A simple and fast method was developed to determine non-UV active compounds directly without derivatization. The usefulness of the method was demonstrated by detecting the major components in aminoglycoside antibiotic mixtures using capillary zone electrophoresis with potential gradient detection. Under optimized separation conditions (0.2 mM cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB), 1 mM ammonium citrate, pH 3.5), gentamicin was separated into three major peaks (C1, C1a, and C2+C2a) within 15 min. This method showed better sensitivity than other capillary electrophoresis (CE) methods for determining underivatized gentamicin. The linear range was from 10 to 500 ppm. Because of its good repeatability and simplicity, this new method could be a good alternative for the current assays given by US Pharmacopoeia and European Pharmacopoeia.
