A method for the indirect determination of trace bound selenomethionine in plants and some biological materials.

An indirect method for the determination of trace bound selenomethionine (SeMet) has been developed. SeMet reacts with cyanogen bromide (CNBr) quantitatively in the presence of SnCl2 to form CH3SeCN, and after extraction with CHCl3 is acid-digested to form Se(IV). Selenium(IV) reacts with 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine reagent to form 5-NO2-piazselenol which is then determined by gas chromatography equipped with electron capture detector. The sensitivity of this method (CNBr-piazselenol-GC method) is 6 ng SeMet/g of sample. Trace-bound SeMet in plants and some biological materials has been successfully determined by this method and its content has been compared with the total selenium in the sample.

A neuromagnetic study of acupuncturing LI-4 (Hegu).

The brain magnetic fields evoked by acupuncturing LI-4(Hegu) were measured by using SQUID (superconductive Quantum Interference Device) Biomagnetometer, and the morphological characters of these biomagnetic fields were examined in 12 subjects. The observed phenomenon of the LI-4(Hegu)'s projection area overlapping on the jaw's and face's projection area suggests that excitation of LI-4 (Hegu)'s projection area activated by acupuncturing LI-4(Hegu) could inhibit action of the jaw's and face's projection through the overlapping area, and this is the reason why the acupuncturing LI-4(Hegu) could effectively case pains in the treatment of dental pain.
