A spectrophotometric method for determination of a microgram quantity of cerium with N-p-tolyl-p-chlorobenzohydroxamic acid is described. The orange-red-colored complex is extracted from chloroform at pH 9 which absorbs between 460 and 465 nm. Beer's law is obeyed at this wavelength. A clean-cut separation from many commonly occurring metal ions is easily accomplished. The system obeys Beer's law within the range of 0.5–28 ppm of cerium(IV). The molar absorptivity of cerium-N-p-tolyl-p-chlorobenzohydroxamic acid complex is 4.5 × 103 liters mol?1 cm?1. 相似文献
The kinetics of vesicle formation from a hydrotrope (sodium xylenesulfonate) solution of a surfactant (Laureth 4) is studied
by the use of a stopped-flow apparatus combined with a dynamic light scattering device to determine vesicle size in the system.
The hydrotrope system studied presents a system with a high surfactant solubilization combined with vesicle formation simply
by dilution with water. The kinetic results show a single exponential decay time. The kinetic analysis indicates that the
vesicles are formed from a molecular solution which resulted from the shear in the stopped-flow device and grow by monomeric
association.

Abstract— Hydroxyl radicals ('OH) are scavenged by 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) at a diffusion-controlled rate of 1.25 ± 0.1 × 109 M -1s-1. Unlike other efficient 'OH scavengers which exhibit protection of bacteria against irradiation both in oxic and hypoxic conditions, DABCO has been shown to protect Serratia marcescens and various strains of Escherichia coli only in oxic conditions. DABCO appears to eliminate a component of the sensitization afforded by oxygen in all strains of E. coli tested. The level of this protection increases from ∼15% in the wild type AB 1157 to ∼100% in the recA uvrA mutant AB 2480. It is suggested that DABCO protects against lethal events that can occur on macromolecules other than DNA such as the cell membrane. Results with added glycerol, as well as work in D2O solution, indicate that DABCO is more likely to be acting by scavenging radicals rather than by quenching 1O2. If 1O2 is a component of the sensitization afforded by oxygen, then it is unlikely to be formed in a hydrophilic environment in the cell. 相似文献
The International and European standards for radiation sterilization require evidence of the effectiveness of a minimum sterilization dose of 25 kGy but do not provide detailed guidance on how this evidence can be generated. An approach, designated VDmax, has recently been described and computer evaluated to provide safe and unambiguous substantiation of a 25 kGy sterilization dose. The approach has been further developed into a practical method, which has been subjected to field evaluations at three manufacturing facilities which produce different types of medical devices. The three facilities each used a different overall evaluation strategy: Facility A used VDmax for quarterly dose audits; Facility B compared VDmax and Method 1 in side-by-side parallel experiments; and Facility C, a new facility at start-up, used VDmax for initial substantiation of 25 kGy and subsequent quarterly dose audits. A common element at all three facilities was the use of 10 product units for irradiation in the verification dose experiment.
The field evaluations of the VDmax method were successful at all three facilities; they included many different types of medical devices/product families with a wide range of average bioburden and sample item portion values used in the verification dose experiments. Overall, around 500 verification dose experiments were performed and no failures were observed. In the side-by-side parallel experiments, the outcomes of the VDmax experiments were consistent with the outcomes observed with Method 1.
The VDmax approach has been extended to sterilization doses >25 and <25 kGy; verification doses have been derived for sterilization doses of 15, 20, 30, and 35 kGy. Widespread application of the VDmax method for doses other than 25 kGy must await controlled field evaluations and the development of appropriate specifications/standards. 相似文献
In the present paper an isotropic sample of air-dried elastoidin has been studied considering it to be a non-ideal two-phase densely packed system after the theories by Vonk [1]. The relevant important physical parameters obtained for the sample areE, the width of the transition layer,D, the average periodicity transverse to the layers, S/V, the specific inner surface
1 and
2, the volume fraction of two phases, i. e. matter and void,l1 andl2 the transversal lengths,lr, the range of inhomogeneity,lc, the length of coherence and 2E/D, the volume fraction of the transition layer. The values ofE obtained by two approches as given by Vonk [1] and Ruland [2] show but a small difference indicating the correctness of the analysis. 相似文献
Reactions of α,β-epoxy ketones with nucleophilic bases generally take one of two courses: (1) α-displacement followed by β-elimination of water or (2) Favorskii rearrangement via a cyclopropanone or zwitterion intermediate. Among the factors that appear to control these reactions, it is suspected that an α′-substituent effect may operate. Such an effect has been confirmed by observing the conversion of 3,5,5,6 - tetramethyl - 2,3 - epoxycyclohexanone (1) to the ring-contracted γ-lactone 3, together with other Favorskii rearrangement products, on treatment with refluxing methanolic potassium hydroxide. The α′-methyl substituted steroid 2 under similar reaction conditions was transformed into roughly equal amounts of 4, 5 and 4 (all rationalized by a Favorskii-like mechanism). In each case the analogous epoxy ketone lacking an α′-Me substituent failed to give any Favorskii products. 相似文献
S-Methyldithizone(5-methylmercapto-1,5-diphenylformazan) reacts with the chlorides of copper(II), mercury(II) and phenylmercury(II) to give the 1:1 chelates [CuCl(MeDz), HgCl(MeDz) and C6H5Hg(MeDz)] and with nickel(II) and palladium(II) to give the 1:2 chelates, M(MeDz)2. All these complexes are intensely coloured in chloroform solution. No complexes are formed from cobalt(II), manganese(II) or zinc(II) or from the nitrates or acetates of copper and mercury. Coordination increases the reactivity of the sulphur atom in dithizone. Whereas dithizone is unaffected by methyl iodide, nickel dithizonate, Ni(HDz)2, gives Ni-(MeDz)2 when heated with methyl iodide in ethanol in the presence of sodium acetate; palladium dithizonate behaves similarly. The 1:1 adduct of nickel dithizonate with 2,2'-bipyridyl gave only Ni(MeDz)2 on treatment with methyl iodide, and this complex would not form an adduct with bipyridyl. On standing in the light, Ni(MeDz)2 reacted photochemically to give the yellow isomer of S-methyl-dithizone. 相似文献
The isocratic reversed-phase liquid chromatography of the angiotensins and a number of their synthetic analogues is described. Complete separation of 10 out of 12 peptides was achieved through a solvent optimization strategy with a total analysis time of about 20 min. The retention behavior of the angiotensins studied was described in terms of the hydrophobic contribution of their amino acid residues; there was good correlation between predicted and experimental retention for those peptides that were retained by a common mechanism. However, because ion-pair chromatography was required for good peak symmetry, retention was substantially modulated by the presence of acidic and basic residues. The limit of detection of these peptides was 3-5 pmol by UV absorbance at 214 nm. For those peptides containing a primary amino group the detection limit was improved by two orders of magnitude by fluorogenic derivatization with naphthalene-2,3-dicarboxaldehyde/cyanide to the corresponding N-substituted 1-cyanobenz[f]isoindole (CBI) derivatives. The contribution of the CBI ring system to retention was also investigated. 相似文献
A structurally related series of fluorinated nonionic oxyethylene glycol surfactants of the type C(m)F(2m+1)(CH(2))(n)O[(CH(2)CH(2)O)(p)H], denoted C(m.n)E(p) (where m=4, 6, or 7, m=1 or 2, and p=4 or 6) were synthesized and their surface behavior in aqueous solution was characterized. The ability of these surfactants to form water-in-hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) propellant 134a microemulsions suitable for use in the aerosolized delivery of water-soluble drugs has been investigated. Phase studies showed that, regardless of the composition used, clear one-phase systems could not be prepared if a fluorinated nonionic surfactant was used alone, or in combination with a short or medium fluorocarbon alcohol cosurfactant. Clear one-phase systems could, however, be prepared if a short-chain hydrocarbon alcohol, such as ethanol, n-propanol, or n-pentanol, was used as cosurfactant, with the extent of the one-phase region increasing with decreased chain length of the alcohol cosurfactant. Light-scattering studies on a number of the hydrocarbon-alcoholcontaining systems in the propellant-rich part of the phase diagram showed that only systems prepared with C(4.2)E(6) and propanol contained microemulsion droplets (all other systems investigated were considered to be cosolvent systems). 相似文献
