HPLC and HPLC-MS analysis of urinary N(epsilon)-monomethyl-lysine.

Administration of (14)C-labelled L-deprenyl to rats results in the urinary elimination of a 14C-labelled compound. The 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl chloride-reacted urine sample is fractionated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on an octadecyl silica stationary phase. N(epsilon)-Monomethyl-lysine is identified in the fraction containing the majority of the radioactivity. Structural elucidation is carried out using HPLC-mass spectrometry in atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mode. Identification of the 14C-labelled fragment in Ne-monomethyl-lysine is an experimental proof that an N-methylated amino acid is generated by transmethylation from a well-known drug. This type of transmethylation may have basic importance in the positive side effects of certain drugs.

[Determination of amphetamine derivatives in urine with solid phase micro-extraction (SPME)].

Amphetamine derivatives (amphetamine A, methamphetamine MA, 3,4-methylene-dioxy-methamphetamine MDMA, 3,4-methylene-dioxy-amphetamine MDA and 3,4-methylene-dioxy-N-ethyl-amphetamine MDE) are the first most frequently group of abused illegal drugs in Hungary. This experimental work deals with in the determination of amphetamines in connection with the forensic toxicological applicability of a relatively new isolation process, the SPME using by GC-NPD analysis. The paper demonstrates 14 types of amphetamine investigation from spiked urine samples and reports two typical amphetamine cases for SPME isolation method.

[Corrective possibilities by subcapital metatarsal osteotomy in the management of hallux valgus and metatarsus primus valgus].

The extent of correction achievable by inclined subcapital osteotomy of the metatarsus I. was studied in 100 cases of the deformation. The different angular values and dimensions were compared in the X-ray plates taken pre- and postoperatively and the clinical changes of the patients were evaluated on the basis of subjective complaints and objective symptoms. The angular limit values of the performability of osteotomy were determined. In deformations larger than the limit values wedge and half-wedge osteotomy, basisosteotomy, respectively, are the expedient methods.

[The role of imitation in suicidal behavior].

The authors analyse the modelling effect of the suicide of the first Hungarian beauty queen. After the publication of a book, a film and the newspapers about her suicide increased significantly the number of suicides committed by young females by the same method (Lidocain pill). During this period the consumption of Lidocain pills decreased in Hungary. The monthly and seasonal fluctuation of suicides committed by other methods is different from these changes. The suicide of celebrities mediated by the mass media can become modell through identification for a people in crisis situation.

Toxicological analysis of amobarbital and glutethimide from bone tissue.

Author examined cadaver organs and bone samples (sternum, rib) of drug poisoning cases. Following suitable procedures, active drug components (amobarbital, glutethimide, and so forth) were identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Based on results of quantitative GC analysis, relationships were sought between the active agent concentrations measured in the organs and the bone samples.

Comparative pyrogen reactivity of rabbit and man to human albumin and immunoglobulin solutions.

According to the prescriptions of the Hungarian Pharmacopoeia regarding the pyrogenicity of human albumin and immunoglobulin solutions, the temperature increase should not exceed 0.5 degrees C in rabbits. If the average rise in temperature of rabbits is between 0.6 to 1.1 degrees C, the preparation--in other respects meeting the requirements--can be tested in man (generally 20 persons per preparation). Products causing an average rise in temperature less than 0.6 degrees C and provoking individual rises of temperature below 1 degrees C in man, can be issued. On the basis of these data going back for many years, no reliable correlation could be found between the pyrogen test in rabbits and temperature rise in man. The same preparation which failed to pass the rabbit pyrogen test proved to be apyrogenic in man.

Distribution of HB antigen carriers in the population of Budapest aged 0 to 85 years.

The authors investigated serum samples of 5,000 inhabitants aged 0-85 years in a crowded industrial area, by means of the counterimmunoelectrophoretic method. They evaluate their results in relation to age, sex and occupation. They compare them with data of Hungarian and several other authors. Some possible reasons of the differences are discussed and the importance of non-parenteral transmission is emphasized.

Distribution of HB antigen carriers in the population of Budapest according to age, sex, subtypes and occupation.

The authors investigated serum samples of 5000 inhabitants (age 0 to 85 years) in a crowded industrial area, by means of the counterimmunoelectrophoretic method. They evaluate their results in relation of age, sex and occupation and presented literary data about the subtypes of the carriers in Budapest. They compared them with data of Hungarian and several other authors respectively. Some possible reasons of the differences are discussed and the importance of the non-parental transmission is emphasized.
