Chromatographic and mass spectrometric characteristics of 20-dihydroaldosterone.
1992
The 20 alpha-reduced derivative of aldosterone, 20 alpha-dihydroaldosterone, was needed as reference compound in order to continue the studies on 18-hydroxylation in the Y-1 adrenal cell line. It was obtained by reduction of aldosterone with sodium borohydride. Analysis of the products of the reaction as methoxime trimethylsilyl (MO-TMS) derivatives by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) showed three possible forms of the compound. Their identification was confirmed by comparison with the products obtained by stereospecific reduction of aldosterone using 3 alpha,20 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Chromatographic behavior and mass spectra are given for the three forms…
Multivariate optimization of the hollow fibre liquid phase microextraction of muscimol in human urine samples.
2016
Abstract A liquid phase microextraction based on hollow fibre followed by liquid chromatographic determination was developed for the extraction and quantitation of the hallucinogenic muscimol from urine samples. Method applicability on polar hallucinogens was also tested on two alkaloids, a psychedelic hallucinogen, tryptamine and a polar amino acid, tryptophan which exists in its charged state in the entire pH range. A multivariate design of experiments was used in which a half fractional factorial approach was applied to screen six factors (donor phase pH, acceptor phase HCl concentration, carrier composition, stirring rate, extraction time and salt content) for their extent of vitality i…
VESICAL IMAGING-REPORTING AND DATA SYSTEM – A NEW APPROACH TO BLADDER CANCER STAGING
2022
The aim: To present the assumptions and to show the usefulness of Vesical Imaging-Reporting and Data System (VI-RADS) based on multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) in the diagnostic pathway management of patients with a bladder cancer. Materials and methods: The review is based on available literature from last 10 years from PubMed database and the Przegląd Urologiczny journal focusing on articles on VI-RADS. Overall, 18 articles were included. Presented magnetic resonance images come from the examinations of the patients who were diagnosed with bladder cancer from 2019 to 2021 at Department of Diagnostic Imaging in University Clinical Hospital in Opole, Poland. Conclusions: T…
Development of a European consensus from dentists, dental hygienists and physicians on a standard for oral health care in care-dependent older people…
2020
ObjectivesThis study aimed to obtain a consensus on oral health policy, access to dental care, oral hygiene measures and training levels.BackgroundPoor oral health is widespread in care-dependent older people, but no consensus for a minimum standard of oral health care exists yet.MethodsThe e-Delphi approach was applied to a selected panel of interdisciplinary experts. Data analysis was based on three measurements: (a) ≥70% of experts’ opinion fall into category “agree or strongly agree,” (b) median score on the 5-point Likert scale ≥4, (c) interquartile range ≤1.ResultsA total of 31 experts from 17 European countries participated in this survey. Agreement was achieved for a compulsory dent…
Two new triterpene saponins from Eryngium campestre.
2005
Two new triterpene saponins, 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)]-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl-22-O-angeloyl-R1-barrigenol (1) and 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->2)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1-->4)]-beta-D-glucuronopyranosyl-22-O-beta,beta-dimethylacryloyl-A1-barrigenol (2), were isolated from the roots of Eryngium campestre (Apiaceae). Their structures were established mainly by 2D NMR techniques and mass spectrometry.
Characterization of aquatic humic substances and their metal complexes by immobilized metal-chelate affinity chromatography on iron(III)-loaded ion e…
2001
The analytical fractionation of aquatic humic substances (HS) by means of immobilized metal-chelate affinity chromatography (IMAC) on metal-loaded chelating ion exchangers is described. The cellulose HYPHAN, loaded with different trivalent ions, and the chelate exchanger Chelex 100, loaded to 90% of its capacity with Fe(III), were used. The cellulose HYPHAN, loaded with 2% Fe(III), resulted in HS distribution coefficients Kd of up to 10(3.7) mL/g at pH 4.0 continuously decreasing down to 10(1.5) at pH 12, which were appropriate for HS fractionation by a pH-depending chromatographic procedure. Similar distribution coefficients Kd were obtained for HS sorption onto Fe(III)-loaded Chelex 100. …
On the determination of underivatised fatty alcohol ethoxylates by electrospray ionisation–mass spectrometry
2006
Abstract The oligomers of fatty alcohol ethoxylates (FAEs) exhibit large sensitivity differences in mass spectrometry with electrospray ionisation (ESI–MS) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). Standards of the oligomers from m = 1 to 7 ethylene oxide units (EOs) and linear alkyl chains from n = 10 to 18 carbon atoms were infused to examine the relative sensitivities or response factors in several media. The response factors of the [M + H]+ and [M + Na]+ peaks in 9:1 acetonitrile/water and methanol/water media containing acid buffers increased following irregular patterns when n and m increased. In methanol/water the response factors depended on the parity of m, being larger …
ChemInform Abstract: Pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine Derivatives as COX-2 Selective Inhibitors: Synthesis and Molecular Modelling Studies.
2009
The pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidine system shows a multitude of interesting pharmacological properties. Owing to the potential anti-inflammatory activity of 5-benzamido-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one derivatives and considering the easy synthesis of this class of compounds, a set of new 5-benzamido-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-ones has been prepared in 42-80% yields by reacting 5-aminopyrazole-4(N-benzoyl)carbohydrazide derivatives and the opportune triethylorthoesters. Compounds 8a, b, 10a-d, and 11a, b revealed a superior inhibitory profile against COX-2, when compared to that of reference standards NS398 and indomethacin. Molecular modelling studies confirmed the obtained biological results.

Cuantificación de la fibrosis hepática mediante biomarcadores de imagen
2018
There is a need for early identification of patients with chronic liver diseases due to their increasing prevalence and morbidity-mortality. The degree of liver fibrosis determines the prognosis and therapeutic options in this population. Liver biopsy represents the reference standard for fibrosis staging. However, given its limitations and complications, different non-invasive methods have been developed recently for the in vivo quantification of fibrosis. Due to their precision and reliability, biomarkers' measurements derived from Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance stand out. This article reviews the different acquisition techniques and image processing methods currently used in the evalu…
