Blood Anticoagulant Activity of Sulphated Ovular Mucins of Amphibians
1957
THE mucin constituting the gelatinous layer which envelops the eggs of Bufo bufo, if digested with papain and then sulphated, shows a marked anticoagulant activity on the fibrinogen and the whole blood plasma1. A similar anticoagulant activity has now been shown by the ovular mucins of other species of amphibians, sulphated without any previous proteolysis.
Rectal perforation during defecography: extraluminal barium impaction removed by TEM (Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery).
2016
Defecography is the standard diagnostic technique for the diagnosis of functional disorders of the posterior pelvic compartment. However it has some limits as radiation exposure, low-contrast resolution, some degrees of embarrassment and discomfort for the patients. Furthermore it often fails to directly visualize the changes that affect the pararectal space. Here we present a never described case of rectal perforation after defecography with barium impaction removed by TEM (Transanal Endoscopic Microsurgery).We present a case of a 50 years old woman with extraluminal barium impaction due to perforation occurred during defecography. Both pelvic MR and endoanal ultrasound confirmed the prese…
A study of electrochemically-induced corrosion of low carbon steel in a medium modelling acid rain
1994
Complementary electrochemical, spectrophotometric and electron microsopic investigations were made in addition to the conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopic (CEMS) measurements to learn more about the mechanism of corrosion of low carbon steel samples in aqueous sulfate and sulfite containing sulfate solutions (pH 3.5, 6.5 and 8.5). Passivation of iron in pure sulfate solution was studied in detail in earlier papers. In the present work, we used a solution containing both sulfate and sulfite anions to obtain more information about the effect of acid rain on low carbon steel samples. The compositions and thicknesses of the passive films formed due to the electrochemical treatments were …
conversion electron Mössbauer study of low carbon steel polarized in aqueous sulfate solution containing sulfite in low concentration
1992
The passivation of low carbon steel was studied in aqueous solution of 0.5 M Na2SO4+0.001 M NaHSO3 at pH=3.5 and 6.5. The found major components at pH-3.5 were: γ-FeOOH and Fe3C, and also FeSO4.H2O could be identified on the surface of the low carbon steel as a minor component. At pH-6.5, the passive film contained only amorphous iron(III)-oxide or oxyhydroxide.
From ‘green’ technologies to ‘red’ antioxidant compounds extraction of purple corn: a combined ultrasound-ultrafiltration-purification approach
2018
A pilot scale process consisting of ultrasound-assisted extraction, ammonium sulfate precipitation, cross-flow ultrafiltration and AB-8 macroporous resins purification aiming to recover anthocyanins and zein from purple corn (PC) was optimized and scaled-up. The effects of five independent variables (ethanol concentration, liquid to solid ratio, ultrasound temperature, time and power) were discussed and the most influential factors were optimized.; Results: The highest total anthocyanin (0.45 ± 0.01 g kg-1 ) and zein (17.14 ± 1.73 g kg-1 ) contents from purple corn were obtained using an ultrasound power of 105 W, an extraction time of 90 min, an ethanol concentration of 74% and a liquid to…
Analysis of the infectious entry pathway of human papillomavirus type 33 pseudovirions.
2002
AbstractHuman papillomavirus type 33 (HPV-33) pseudovirus infection is a slow process dependent on the initial interaction with cell-surface heparan sulfate (T. Giroglou, L. Florin, F. Schafer, R. E. Streeck, and M. Sapp, 2001a, J. Virol. 75, 1565–1570). We have now further dissected the initial steps of pseudovirus uptake using removal of cell-surface proteoglycans and selective inhibition of entry pathways. Treatment of cells with heparinase I, but not with phosphoinositol-specific phospholipase C (PIPLC), prevented binding of papillomavirus-like particles and infection with HPV-33 pseudovirions, indicating that GPI-linked proteoglycans (glypicans) are not required for productive infectio…
Localization of n-alcohols and structural effects in aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate
1997
Small-angle neutron Mattering measurements OD sodium dodecyl sulfate aqueous solutions have been performed in the presence of n-alcohols, from methanol to octanol, at different alcohol concentrations. By modeling the experimental intensities, it was possible to obtain structural information and to derive simultaneously the distribution of the alcohols between the aqueous and the micellar phases. It was found that short chain alcohols tend to remain in the aqueous phase and, by altering the solvent properties, induce a decrease in the aggregation number of sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles. On the other hand, alcohols with longer hydrocarbon chains were found to be present in both phases thoug…
Micellar versus hydro-organic mobile phases for retention-hydrophobicity relationship studies with ionizable diuretics and an anionic surfactant
2004
Abstract Logarithm of retention factors (log k ) of a group of 14 ionizable diuretics were correlated with the molecular (log P o/w ) and apparent (log P app ) octanol–water partition coefficients. The compounds were chromatographed using aqueous–organic (reversed-phase liquid chromatography, RPLC) and micellar–organic mobile phases (micellar liquid chromatography, MLC) with the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), in the pH range 3–7, and a conventional octadecylsilane column. Acetonitrile was used as the organic modifier in both modes. The quality of the correlations obtained for log P app at varying ionization degree confirms that this correction is required in the aqueou…
Binding of fluoride and carbonate by open chain polyammonium cations
2004
The formation of open chain polyammonium cation-fluoride and -carbonate complexes was studied by potentiometric and calorimetric techniques at t=25 degrees C. Several species of H(i)AL (A=amine; L=F(-), CO(3)(2-)) are formed in both systems with a mean stability log K=1.0zeta (zeta=|z(anion)xz(cation)|) and log K=2.0zeta for fluoride and carbonate, respectively. The comparison with analogous systems (chloride and acetate for fluoride and hydrogenphosphate, sulfate and malonate for carbonate) showed that fluoride and carbonate form the most stable species with open chain polyammonium cations, among low molecular weight anions. The N-alkyl substitution does not play negligible role in the sta…
Quantification of rifampicin and rifabutin in plasma of tuberculosis patients by micellar liquid chromatography
2020
A Micellar Liquid Chromatographic method is described to determine Rifampicin and Rifabutin in plasma from Tuberculosis patients. Samples were diluted in mobile phase and then directly injected, avoiding long and tedious extraction steps. The analytes were resolved from the matrix without interferences from endogenous compounds using a mobile phase of sodium dodecyl sulfate 0.15 mol L-1–6%(v/v) 1-pentanol and phosphate buffer at pH 3, running at 1 mL min−1 through a C18 column at 25 °C. Detection was carried out by UV absorbance at 270 nm. Under these conditions, the final chromatographic analysis time was 22 min. The analytical methodology was validated following the FDA 2018 Bioanalytical…
