Effect of in situ aspartame mouthwash to prevent intrinsic and extrinsic erosive tooth wear
2020
Background The aim was to evaluate whether aspartame regular mouthwash prior to erosive challenges with citric or hydrochloric acids would be able to prevent erosive enamel wear. Material and methods This randomized, single blind in situ study was conducted with 3 crossover phases of 5 days. Polished bovine enamel blocks (n=252) were randomly divided among 6 groups/ 3 phases/ 21 volunteers. The groups under study were: aspartame solution (0.024% of aspartame in deionized water - experimental group), deionized water (negative-control) and stannous-containing solution (Elmex® Erosion Protection Dental Rinse; positive-control); subjected to erosion on citric acid or hydrochloric acid. Four tim…
Anti-erosive effect of calcium carbonate suspensions
2018
Background This study aimed to investigate the ability of different concentrations of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) suspensions to control enamel surface loss. Material and methods Seventy-five enamel slabs were embedded, ground and polished in a pneumatic grinder-polisher machine. Reference areas were created with UPVC tape and the specimens were randomly allocated into five groups (n = 15) for exposure to hydrochloric acid solution to simulate gastric juice (0.01 M, pH 2) for 2 minutes. The samples were then exposed to suspensions containing 0.0001, 0.001, 0.01 or 0.1 mmol/L CaCO3 for 1 minute. Artificial saliva was used as control. The samples were subjected to a total of five erosive cycles…
Synthesis of a Tetraazido-Substituted 2-Tetrazene from 1,5-Cyclooctadiene and Iodine Azide
1997
In contrast to the addition of iodine azide to cyclooctene (1) or 1,3-cyclooctadiene (5), its reaction with 1,5-cyclooctadiene (12) leads mainly to the surprisingly stable tetraazido-substituted 2-tetrazene 14 The structure of this was established by 15N-NMR studies and an X-ray structural analysis. Treatment of 14 with hydrochloric acid yields the diazido-substituted 9-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane 20.
Optimization of selenium determination in human milk and whole blood by flow injection hydride atomic absorption spectrometry.
1998
abstract A flow injection hydride atomic absorption spectrometry (FI-HAAS) method was developed for determining selenium in human milk and whole blood after microwave digestion of the sample. The sample (2 mL human milk or 0.25 mL blood) was introduced into the microwave vessel with 1.5 mL HN03 and 0.25 mL H202 and 300 W (4 min) and 600 W (4 min) were applied. The digestion was completed by heating to 140 C (2-3 h). Se (VI) was reduced to Se (IV) with hydrochloric acid. The instrumental conditions for FI-HAAS (concentrations of reducing agent and carrier acid, flow rate of argon carrier gas, and sample volume injected) were optimized. The detection limit of the proposed method was 0.23 ng/m…
In Vitro Bioavailability of Phenolic Compounds from Five Cultivars of Frozen Sweet Cherries (Prunus aviumL.)
2008
The bioavailability of phenolic compounds from five cultivars of frozen sweet cherries was assessed by a digestion process involving pepsin-HCl digestion (to simulate gastric digestion) and pancreatin digestion with bile salts (to simulate small intestine conditions) and dialyzed to assess serum- and colon-available fractions. After pepsin digestion, the % recovery of total phenolics, relative to the original starting material, increased, whereas the % anthocyanins did not change. Following pancreatic digestion and dialysis, the total phenolics in the IN (serum-available) fraction was about 26–30% and the OUT (colon-available) fraction was about 77–101%. The anthocyanin content in the IN fr…
Effects of Extraction Conditions on Bioactive Anthocyanin Content of Vaccinium Corymbosum in the Perspective of Food Applications
2012
Abstract Bioflavonoids, in particular anthocyanins have made the topic of many scientific research, mainly for two reasons: their beneficial effects on human health and applications as potential sources of natural food dyes. Natural extracts of these pigments may also find useful application for textiles dying, as an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic dyes. The aim of the present paper was to apply conventional extraction procedures in order to isolate an enriched crude extract of pigments from highbush blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.). Water, hydroalcoholic solution and acidified alcoholic solvent were tested to extract anthocyanins by a discontinuous process. Also, temperatures of…
The determination of antimony and arsenic concentrations in fly ash by hydride generation inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry
2011
Abstract Hydride generation inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (HG-ICP-OES) was used in the determination of As and Sb concentrations in fly ash samples. The effect of sample pre-treatment reagents and measurement parameters used for hydride generation was evaluated. Due to memory effects observed, the appropriate read delay time was adjusted to 60 s resulting in RSDs 0.6% and 2.3% for As and Sb, respectively. The most suitable volumes of pre-reduction reagents for 10 mL of sample were 4 mL of KI/ascorbic acid (5%) and 6 mL of HCl (conc.). The determination of Sb was significantly interfered by HF, but the interference could be eliminated by adding 2 mL of saturated bo…
SVET, AFM and AES study of pitting corrosion initiated on MnS inclusions by microinjection
2003
As pitting is a random phenomenon, it is difficult to predict where a pit will appear on the surface and consequently the use of local probes is rendered difficult. In this work, a new method to study pitting corrosion on a MnS inclusion on 316L stainless steel is proposed. It consists in modifying locally the chemistry in its vicinity by injecting with a microcapillary an aggressive solution of NaCl, H2SO4 or HCl. Once a pit appears, scanning vibrating electrode technique (SVET) is used to follow the current fluctuations over and around the pit when the metal is polarized at a passive potential. In another series of experiments the effect of local activation of MnS inclusion was studied ex…
Modelling Cd(II) removal from aqueous solutions by adsorption on a highly mineralized peat. Batch and fixed-bed column experiments
2006
This paper evaluates the potential use of a locally available organic soil amendment as a low-cost adsorbent. The removal of cadmium from aqueous solutions was studied by means of kinetic, batch and fixed-bed experiments. Batch experiments were conducted to evaluate the process kinetics and the removal equilibrium over a broad pH range. Pseudo-second-order kinetics and Freundlich equilibrium parameters were obtained. Six column experiments were carried out at different flow-rates and feed concentrations. Breakthrough curves showed higher metal retention than expected from the batch adsorption isotherms. Column modelling assuming rate-controlled pore diffusion was successfully performed. The…
Die selektive invers-voltammetrische Bestimmung des Antimons in salzsauren Lösungen nach Lösungswechsel in einer einfachen Durchflußzelle
1987
The selective invers-voltammetric determination of antimony in a simple flow-through cell in hydrochloric acid solutions is described. After double medium exchange for post-electrolysis and inverse-voltammetric determination, the determination of antimony is possible in the presence of a large excess of copper, bismuth and other elements. The limit of determination is 0.2–0.3 ppb Sb, the reproducibility 1.5% (10 ppb Sb).
