Gaistošo organisko savienojumu emisijas no kuņģa vēža audiem un to potenciālā bioloģiskā saistība
2018
Gaistošā organiskā savienojuma (VOC) emisija, ko var novērot izelpā, ir strauji augoša diagnostikas metode audzēju izmeklēšanā. VOC ir savienojums, kam istabas temperatūrā ir augsts tvaika spiediens, kas veicina tā iztvaikošanu gāzes formā. Šo gāzi var noteikt cilvēka audos un šķidrumos.( Haick et al 2014) Galvenokārt ir pētīta VOC saistība ar plaušu vēzi. Taču aizvien vairāk tiek veikti pētījumi, lai noteiktu, kādas ir iespējas VOC pielietot arī kuņģa audzēja gadījumā. Tā kā VOC molekula spēj mijiedarboties ar šūnu metabolītiem, apkārtējo vido, mikrobiem u.c., ir grūti saprast tā rašanās vietu. Šajā pētījumā tiks izmeklētas potenciālās savienojuma vietas, no kurām tas cēlies. Ir dažādi vie…
Land Snails as a Valuable Source of Fatty Acids: A Multivariate Statistical Approach
2019
The fatty acid (FA) profile of wild Theba pisana, Cornu aspersum, and Eobania vermiculata land snail samples, collected in Sicily (Southern Italy), before and after heat treatment at +100 °C were examined by gas chromatography with a flame ionization detector (GC-FID). The results show a higher content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in all of the examined raw snails samples, representing up to 48.10% of the total fatty acids contents, followed by monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). The thermal processing of the snail samples examined determined an overall reduction of PUFA levels (8.13%, 7.75%, and 4.62% for T. pisana, C. aspersum and E. vermiculata samples, respectively) and a spe…
Study on Trichothecene and Zearalenone Presence in Romanian Wheat Relative to Weather Conditions
2019
To evaluate the influence of weather conditions on mycotoxin presence in wheat, deoxynivalenol (DON), 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3AcDON), 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15AcDON), fusarenon-X (FUS-X), nivalenol (NIV), HT-2 toxin (HT-2), T-2 toxin (T-2), diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS), neosolaniol (NEO) and zearalenone (ZEN) were evaluated in 102 Romanian wheat samples coming from five wheat growing areas during 2015. Only six mycotoxins were detected, while FUS-X, DAS, NEO and NIV were not present in the wheat samples. Mycotoxin concentrations were correlated with precipitation and temperature values during anthesis and the preharvest period. Overall, the highest frequency was registered for DON, while the…
Characterisation of the volatile fraction of aromatic caramel using heart-cutting multidimensional gas chromatography
2014
The first aim of our study was to improve characterisation of the volatile fraction of aromatic caramel by applying heart-cutting multidimensional gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry and olfactometry (MDGC-MS-O) on targeted odorant fractions. The second aim was to compare the volatile composition of two caramel samples, which differed in terms of their carbohydrate composition and cooking process. MDGC analyses enabled identification of 37 compounds (17 with the addition of pure standard) in the burnt sugar caramel, 20 of which were reported for the first time in caramel. Fifteen compounds were identified as odour-active and described using a range of attributes such as floral, …
The Chameleon on the branches: spectral state transition and dips in NGC 247 ULX-1
2021
Soft Ultra-Luminous X-ray (ULXs) sources are a subclass of the ULXs that can switch from a supersoft spectral state, where most of the luminosity is emitted below 1 keV, to a soft spectral state with significant emission above 1 keV. In a few systems, dips have been observed. The mechanism behind this state transition and the dips nature are still debated. To investigate these issues, we obtained a long XMM-Newton monitoring campaign of a member of this class, NGC 247 ULX-1. We computed the hardness-intensity diagram for the whole dataset and identified two different branches: the normal branch and the dipping branch, which we study with four and three hardness-intensity resolved spectra, r…
Unveiling the disc structure in ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 55 ULX-1
2022
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are the most extreme among X-ray binaries in which the compact object, a neutron star or a black hole, accretes matter from the companion star, and exceeds a luminosity of 1039 ergs−1 in the X-ray energy band alone. Despite two decades of studies, it is still not clear whether ULX spectral transitions are due to stochastic variability in the wind or variations in the accretion rate or in the source geometry. The compact object is also unknown for most ULXs. In order to place constraints on to such scenarios and on the structure of the accretion disc, we studied the temporal evolution of the spectral components of the variable source NGC 55 ULX-1. Using rec…
New insights into the composition of historical remedies and pharmaceutical formulations: the identification of natural resins and balsams by gas chr…
2020
AbstractThe present paper reports one of the first studies on the identification of natural resins and balsams in modern era drug formulations. Gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was applied to investigate the composition of ancient remedies and pharmaceutical formulations coming from the Spezieria di Santa Maria della Scala in Rome, founded at the end of the seventeenth century by the Discalced Carmelites. The obtained results highlight the presence of complex mixtures containing resinaceous and lipidic-based compounds. Thanks to the detection of characteristic markers, it was possible to identify several natural resins, such as guaiacum resin, ladano resin and scamm…
