Analysis of selected pesticides and alkylphenols in human cord blood by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer

A total of seven pesticides and eight alkylphenols were monitored using this method for the determination of their trace levels in human cord blood. The pesticides are lindane, diazinon, α-endosulfan, β-endosulfan, endosulfan sulfate, chlorpyrifos and endrin; while the alkylphenols are 4-n-butylphenol, 4-n-pentylphenol, 4-n-hexylphenol, 4-t-octylphenol, 4-n-heptylphenol, nonylphenol, 4-n-octylphenol and bisphenol A. The pesticides and alkylphenols in the cord blood samples were extracted with solid phase extraction IST C18 cartridges and analyzed by selected ion monitoring mode using quadrapole detector in Shimadzu QP-5000 gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer. Trace levels of pesticide and alkylphenols in the range of non-detectable to 15.17 ng ml⁻¹, were detected in the human cord blood samples. This technique of monitoring the levels of endocrine-disruptors in blood samples is consistent, reliable and cost effective while reducing wastage of time and solvents.     

Real-time measurement of nitric oxide using a bio-imaging and an electrochemical technique

Nitric oxide (NO) is an important mediator responsible for numerous physiological phenomena. Transient levels of NO in biological systems usually range from nanomolar to micromolar concentrations, with a rapid return to basal levels normally seen following these increases. Because NO can diffuse only over a local area in limited time due to such low levels of production and due to its short life-time prior to degradation, high spatial and temporal resolutions are required for direct and continuous NO measurement if the physiological role of NO is to be investigated in any system. For such purposes, analytical methods based on bio-imaging and electrochemical techniques for the measurement of NO are useful. In this paper, we describe the successful application of these methods to a number of biological systems. Specifically, complementary application of these methods demonstrate that it is possible to detect real-time NO production from nervous tissue with high spatial and temporal resolutions.     

富锂掺杂Li1.06Co0.05Cr0.1Mn1.85O4的合成及电化学性能研究

锂离子电池具有比能量高、功率大、使用寿命长、无记忆效应、性能价格比高等优点,从而成为可充式电源的主要选择对象.锰由于资源丰富、价廉、环境友好等优点,使锰酸锂(LiMn2O4)成为最有希望取代钴酸锂的正极材料.但锰酸锂的放电容量相对较低,结构欠稳定,容量衰减严重,作为正极材料还无法与钴酸锂相比,近年来做了大量的研究工作以改善它的电化学性能[1～6].最近Youngjoon Shin等研究发现[7]用少量的Li与Ni共同替代LiMn2O4中的Mn得到的LiMn2-2yLiyNiyO4的电化学性能要优于单元素替代的LiMn2-xMxO4(M=Li,Cr,Fe,Co,Ni)的电化学性能.     

232例脐带异常对围产儿的影响

目的：探讨脐带异常的因素及对围产儿的影响。方法：对2001年1月至12月住院分娩的746例中232例脐带异常者进行回顾性分析。结果：脐带异常的发生率为31．10％，其中脐带缠绕占77．29％，脐带扭转占12．50％，脐带过长占3．88％，脐带过短占3．02％，脐带水肿占1．72％，脐带先露及脐带脱垂各占0．86％，帆状脐带占0．43％。脐带异常组胎儿宫内窘迫、新生儿窒息，死胎、死产及新生儿死亡率明显高于脐带正常组。胎心监护中跳跃型基线变异和变异减速型符合率较高，分别为91．4％和94．2％。结论：脐带异常对围产儿存在严重危害，产前产时监护具有重要性。

目的：研究益肾骨康方对骨转移癌疼痛大鼠脊髓背角GFAP、c-fos、P物质蛋白表达的调控作用。方法：在裸鼠肺腺癌溶骨性骨转移模型的基础上,采用免疫组织化学染色的方法,分别观察各组裸鼠脊髓背角GFAP、c-fos、P物质等蛋白的表达。并使用MIA4.0图像分析软件进行图像分析,每张切片取五个视野,显微镜放大倍数为400倍,统计每个高倍镜视野中表达的阳性物质的光密度值。结果：模型组裸鼠发生了100%的骨转移,免疫组织化学结果显示模型组脊髓背角GFAP、c-fos、P物质蛋白过表达；而“益肾骨康方”低剂量组与中 西药组裸鼠未发生骨转移,免疫组织化学结果显示GFAP、c-fos、P物质蛋白的表达处于较低的水平(P<0.01)；“益肾骨康方”中、高剂量组裸鼠也发生了骨转移,但是这两组裸鼠脊髓背角GFAP、c-fos、P物质蛋白等与疼痛相关的蛋白表达明显低于模型组(P<0.05)。结论：“益肾骨康方”可能通过抑制裸鼠脊髓背角GFAP、c-fos、P物质等蛋白的表达,从而抑制肺腺癌细胞的骨侵袭与转移所引起的疼痛,即“益肾骨康方”通过抑制裸鼠脊髓背角GFAP、c-fos、P物质蛋白的表达而起到一定的镇痛作用。     

胎儿脐带血铅水平与钙、锌、铁的关系研究

目的研究胎儿脐带血中的铅与钙、锌、铁的含量以及两两之间的相关性。方法采用原子吸收光谱法对398例脐带血铅和钙、锌、铁的含量进行测定,并对它们进行相关性分析。结果 398例脐带血铅和钙、锌、铁的质量浓度分别为铅(37.96±17.78)μg/L、钙(1.51±0.29)mmol/L、锌(30.01±11.14)μmol/L、铁(8.63±1.39)mmol/L。线性回归分析显示:铅与钙(r=-0.563,P0.01)、铅与锌(r=-0.424,P0.01)有相关性,铅与铁无显著相关(r=0.018,P0.05)。结论随着胎儿体内血铅水平的上升,二价元素钙、锌含量有下降趋势,即中毒元素铅会干扰胎儿体内的必需二价元素的代谢。
