Detecting intermediate particles in the growth of colloidal zinc oxide nanoparticles in different chemical routes using MCR–ALS

Published: Jul 14, 2013

Author(s): M. Reza Hormozi‐Nezhad, Mehdi Jalali‐Heravi, Fatemeh Kafrashi

Journal: Journal of Chemometrics

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles have been used in a wide‐ranging of applications such as transparent UV protection, light emitting diodes, sensors and photovoltaic cells. Many applications of ZnO nanoparticles could be improved by changing the particle size, shape and morphology. Therefore, studying the mechanism of shape evolution is crucial for size and shape controlled synthesis of nanocrystaline ZnO particles. As an alternative to...

Identification of the metabolites of anti‐inflammatory compound clematichinenoside AR in rat intestinal microflora

Published: Jul 12, 2013

Author(s): Feng Li, Dawei Wang, Ping Xu, Jie Wu, Li Liu, Xiaodong Liu

Journal: Biomedical Chromatography

ABSTRACT Clematichinenoside AR (C‐AR), a pentacyclic triterpenoid saponin with anti‐inflammatory and anti‐rheumatoid activities, is the main active component of the traditional Chinese medicine Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma. However, its poor oral absorption indicated that not only the parent compound C‐AR itself, but also its metabolites could be responsible for the pharmacological effects in rats. The present study aimed to investigate the...

Determination of hypoglycaemia induced by insulin or its synthetic analogues post mortem

Published: Jul 11, 2013

Author(s): C. Hess, B. Madea, T. Daldrup, F. Musshoff

Journal: Drug Testing and Analysis

The determination of human insulin or its synthetic analogues in post‐mortem specimens represents a challenge for forensic toxicologists due to its proven instability in post‐mortem blood. We present two cases of an insulin‐induced hypoglycaemia. In the first case, ante‐mortem material was available for the detection of an injection with human insulin. Human insulin was detected by immunopurification with magnetic beads and liquid...

Muzzle‐to‐target distance determination by X‐ray fluorescence spectrometry

Published: Jul 9, 2013

Author(s): J. F. Fonseca, M. M. Cruz, M. L. Carvalho

Journal: X-Ray Spectrometry

One of the most important aspects of the criminal investigation of a shooting incident is the target‐to‐muzzle distance determination. This determination can establish the relative positions of the shooter and the victim or even help to establish the shooters' intent. Forensic laboratories use chemographic tests as the standard procedure for this kind of analysis. These tests require the preparation of...

Author(s): Kidane Fanta Gebremariam, Lise Kvittingen, Florinel‐Gabriel Banica

Journal: X-Ray Spectrometry

Despite the large body of ancient Ethiopian works of art in the form of murals, icons, and illuminated manuscripts, the physicochemical examinations carried out on them are few. This study is an in situ investigation of the wall paintings in the early 12th century Yemrehanna Krestos Church, Ethiopia. Fast, onsite, nondestructive analysis of the painting materials was carried out using a portable X‐ray energy fluorescence dispersive spectrometer. It ...

The adverse health effects of chronic cannabis use

Published: Jul 8, 2013

Author(s): Wayne Hall, Louisa Degenhardt

Journal: Drug Testing and Analysis

This paper summarizes the most probable of the adverse health effects of regular cannabis use sustained over years, as indicated by epidemiological studies that have established an association between cannabis use and adverse outcomes; ruled out reverse causation; and controlled for plausible alternative explanations. We have also focused on adverse outcomes for which there is good evidence of biological plausibility. The focus is on...

Direct resolution and quantitative analysis of flurbiprofen enantiomers using microcrystalline cellulose triacetate plates: applications to the enantiomeric purity control and optical isomer determination in widely consumed drugs

Published: Jul 8, 2013

Author(s): M. Del Bubba, L. Checchini, L. Ciofi, S. Furlanetto, L. Lepri

Journal: Biomedical Chromatography

ABSTRACT Flurbiprofen enantiomers have very different pharmacological properties, since the (S)‐(+) form has a much higher anti‐inflammatory activity than the (R)‐(−) isomer, the latter being responsible for very undesirable side effects, such as gastrointestinal irritation. Based on the different biological properties of flurbiprofen enantiomers, the development of chiral chromatographic methods for the control of the enantiomeric purity is a...

Author(s): Maria Fedorova, Ravi Chand Bollineni, Ralf Hoffmann

Journal: Mass Spectrometry Reviews

Abstract Protein carbonylation, one of the most harmful irreversible oxidative protein modifications, is considered as a major hallmark of oxidative stress‐related disorders. Protein carbonyl measurements are often performed to assess the extent of oxidative stress in the context of cellular damage, aging and several age‐related disorders. A wide variety of analytical techniques are available to detect and...

Multiple‐echo diffusion tensor acquisition technique (MEDITATE) on a 3T clinical scanner

Published: Jul 5, 2013

Author(s): Steven H. Baete, Gene Cho, Eric E. Sigmund

Journal: NMR in Biomedicine

This article describes the concepts and implementation of an MRI method, the multiple‐echo diffusion tensor acquisition technique (MEDITATE), which is capable of acquiring apparent diffusion tensor maps in two scans on a 3T clinical scanner. In each MEDITATE scan, a set of RF pulses generates multiple echoes, the amplitudes of which are diffusion weighted in both magnitude and direction by a pattern of diffusion gradients. As a result,...
