A new procedure for bovine milk digestion in a focused microwave oven: gradual sample addition to pre-heated acid

Milk samples can be efficiently digested using a focused microwave oven, however the conventional procedure of addition of concentrated acids to the liquid sample leads to digestates with elevated acidity and residual carbon concentrations. In this work a focused microwave oven was applied for acid digestion of bovine milk samples using a conventional and an alternative procedure based on gradual sample addition to hot and concentrated acids. A two-level 2³ full factorial design experiment with eight runs was carried out to evaluate the optimum experimental conditions for reducing both the residual carbon and the final acidity of digestates. The three studied parameters were: temperature of the digestion medium for sample addition, addition of sulfuric acid before the sample or during the first step, and number of aliquots of the sample gradually added. The best conditions were attained by adding small aliquots of milk (ten-fold a volume of 0.5 ml added during 5.0 min) to a digestion mixture containing 3.0 ml nitric acid plus 1.0 ml sulfuric acid heated at 105 °C. It was demonstrated that the digestion efficiency of the alternative procedure was better than the conventional procedure, i.e. 98 and 80%, respectively. The alternative procedure was applied for determination of Ba, Ca, Cu, K, Mg, Na, P, and Zn in whole and non-fat bovine milk. The accuracy was proved using two certified reference materials (whole and non-fat milk powder).     

DOUBLESLICING: a non-iterative single profile multi-exponential curve resolution procedure. Application to time-domain NMR transverse relaxation data

A new non-iterative curve resolution technique for resolving single decay profiles is proposed. The new technique, called DoubleSlicing, is based on the Decra (Direct Exponential Curve Resolution Algorithm) principle. While the original Decra was designed to resolve several decay curves simultaneously and thus fitting common pure exponentials, DoubleSlicing can resolve single decay profiles by a simple double data transformation followed by an analytical and unique three-way decomposition. The new approach is successfully demonstrated on experimental NMR CPMG relaxation data, measured on combinations of unmixed paramagnetic CuSO(4) solutions. Decay signals of the water component were acquired following an innovative experimental design that ensured no interaction between the components present in each sample under observation. DoubleSlicing proved to be accurate in estimating relaxation times differing in one order of magnitude (range: 19.6-159.4ms). Its performance was comparable to discrete exponential fitting with the advantage of being much faster - in terms of computation time, DoubleSlicing outperformed exponential fitting by a factor of four.     

Fluence Rate Determines PDT Efficiency in Breast Cancer Cells Displaying Different GSH Levels

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) appears as a promising alternative in the treatment of breast cancer since it can be highly effective in curing cancer while preserving normal tissue. However, predicting outcomes in PDT still constitutes a great challenge. One of the parameters that are usually empirically determined is the rate of photon flux delivered to the tissue (light fluence rate). In the present study, we intended to understand why monolayers of human cells derived from mammary adenocarcinomas (MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7) respond quite differently to fluence rates (cells were irradiated either for 6 or for 16 min) at a fixed light dose (4.5 J cm⁻²) delivered with an array of LEDs in a typical methylene blue PDT protocol. While death rates of MDA-MB-231 cells were insensitive to the fluence rate, MCF-7 cells showed a quite impressive (three times) decrease in cell death levels in the shorter irradiation protocol. Independent on cell type cell death was invariably correlated with the depletion of reduced glutathione intracellular levels and consequently with widespread redox misbalance. Our data show the potential to optimize fluence rates to provide exhaustion of the cell antioxidant responses in order to circumvent therapy resistance of breast tumors.     

Thio sol–gel synthesis of titanium disulfide thin films and powders using titanium alkoxide precursors

Titanium alkoxides react at room temperature with H₂S to form an amorphous titanium alkoxy-sulfide precursor which can be converted to TiS₂ by heat-treatment in a flowing H₂S gas stream. The reaction of titanium isopropoxide (Ti(OPrⁱ)₄) with H₂S in n-butylamine solvent has been studied using infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS), XRD and EDAX measurements. Based on these studies, it is shown that a partially sulfidized alkoxide precursor forms through the partial replacement of some alkoxy groups by hydrosulfide moieties. The alkoxy-hydrosulfide is believed to form following a thiolysis–condensation mechanism similar to the hydrolysis–condensation process that occurs during the oxide sol–gel reaction. The alkoxy-hydrosulfide species then undergoes complete sulfidization at 800 °C in a stream of H₂S to yield pure, hexagonal TiS₂ in either film or powder forms.

New di‐ and triorganotin(IV) carboxylates derived from a Schiff base: synthesis,characterization and in vitro antimicrobial activities

A new carboxylic acid, 2‐{[5‐(2‐nitrophenyl)furan‐2‐yl]methyleneamino}benzoic acid (HOBZ), has been produced by reacting 5‐(2‐nitrophenyl)furfural with 2‐aminobenzoic acid. Reactions of NaOBZ with organotin chlorides led to formation of [Me₃Sn(OBZ)] ( 1 ), [Bu₃Sn(OBZ)] ( 2 ), [Me₂Sn(OBZ)₂] ( 3 ) and [Bu₂Sn(OBZ)₂] ( 4 ). Complexes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 have been characterized using elemental analyses and infrared, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopies. In the solid state, the OBZ ligands might coordinate to tin in an anisobidentate fashion via the carboxylate group. The in vitro antimicrobial activity of all compounds has been screened against the following fungi: Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, A. parasiticus, Penicillium citrinum, Candida dubliniensis, C. lusitaniae, C. albicans, C. tropicalis, C. parapsilosis and C. glabrata; and against the following bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus, Streptococcus sanguinis, Escherichia coli, Citrobacter frendii, Salmonella typhimurium and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Complexes 2 and 4 exhibited higher biocide activity in comparison to 1 and 3 and to the control drugs nystatin and miconazole nitrate for the yeasts, and chloramphenicol and ampicillin for the bacteria. The biological activity of 2 was superior to that of 4 . In addition, the toxicity of HOBZ, NaOBz and 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 were determined using Chlorella vulgaris, revealing low toxicity of the complexes at MIC₅₀ concentrations. We also performed cell viability studies, using XTT assay, displaying no change in the mitochondrial function after 2–4 h of exposure of the microorganism to the complexes at MIC₅₀ concentrations. The butyl‐containing complexes 2 and 4 display greater lipophilicities than do the methyl analogues 1 and 3 , thereby endowing 2 and 4 with superior abilities to cross the microbe cell membrane, the possible mechanism of action.

Nanostructure-Driven Indocyanine Green Dimerization Generates Ultra-Stable Phototheranostics Nanoparticles

Indocyanine green (ICG) is the only near-infrared (NIR) dye approved for clinical use. Despite its versatility in photonic applications and potential for photothermal therapy, its photobleaching hinders its application. Here we discovered a nanostructure of dimeric ICG (Nano-dICG) generated by using ICG to stabilize nanoemulsions, after which ICG enabled complete dimerization on the nanoemulsion shell, followed by J-aggregation of ICG-dimer, resulting in a narrow, red-shifted (780 nm→894 nm) and intense (≈2-fold) absorbance. Compared to ICG, Nano-dICG demonstrated superior photothermal conversion (2-fold higher), significantly reduced photodegradation (−9.6 % vs. −46.3 %), and undiminished photothermal effect (7 vs. 2 cycles) under repeated irradiations, in addition to excellent colloidal and structural stabilities. Following intravenous injection, Nano-dICG enabled real-time tracking of its delivery to mouse tumors within 24 h by photoacoustic imaging at NIR wavelength (890 nm) distinct from the endogenous signal to guide effective photothermal therapy. The unprecedented finding of nanostructure-driven ICG dimerization leads to an ultra-stable phototheranostic platform.
