Abstract

The functional diagnostics is a corner-pillar of the difficult diagnostics of pancreas. Despite new tests many wishes remain open. The secretine-pancreozymine test and the Lundh-test give good informations, but they are expensive and for the patients considerably stressing. They certainly are not regarded as screening tests. The suitable and justifiable tests for epidemiologic examinations (estimations of stool enzymes and of serum isoamylase) are less specific and sensitive. A differentiation between chronic pancreatitis and neoplasm of the pancreas is not possible with the help of the functional diagnostics. The results of functional examinations may be correctly evaluated only within all informations which concentrate at the patient's bed.

Simultaneous determination of p-aminobenzoic acid and its metabolites in the urine of volunteers, treated with p-aminobenzoic acid sunscreen formulation.

p-Aminobenzoic acid (PABA) and its metabolites (p-aminohippuric acid, p-acetamidobenzoic acid, and p-acetamidohippuric acid) were detected using high-performance liquid chromatography with an electrochemical (carbon paste) detector (HPLC-ECD). For direct current (dc) mode, with the current at a constant potential, and measurements with suitable experimental parameters, a linear concentration from 0.125 to 1.80 microg/ml was found. The detection limit was approximately 2.0 ng/ml. A carbon paste coulometric detector was used to demonstrate that PABA and its metabolites are electrochemically oxidized in acidic media, and to determine, by analyzing human urine, the percutaneous absorption of PABA and its metabolites. Findings using HPLC-ECD and HPLC with an ultraviolet detector (HPLC-UV) were comparable.

Metabolism of 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid by Bordetella sp. strain 10d: A different modified meta-cleavage pathway for 2-aminophenols.

Bordetella sp. strain 10d metabolizes 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid via 2-hydroxymuconic 6-semialdehyde. Cell extracts from 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoate-grown cells showed high NAD(+)-dependent 2-hydroxymuconic 6-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, 4-oxalocrotonate tautomerase, 4-oxalocrotonate decarboxylase, and 2-oxopent-4-enoate hydratase activities, but no 2-hydroxymuconic 6-semialdehyde hydrolase activity. These enzymes involved in 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoate metabolism were purified and characterized. When 2-hydroxymuconic 6-semialdehyde was used as substrate in a reaction mixture containing NAD(+) and cell extracts from 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoate-grown cells, 4-oxalocrotonic acid, 2-oxopent-4-enoic acid, and 4-hydroxy-2-oxovaleric acid were identified as intermediates, and pyruvic acid was identified as the final product. A complete pathway for the metabolism of 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid in strain 10d is proposed. Strain 10d metabolized 2-hydroxymuconic 6-semialdehyde derived from 4-amino-3-hydroxybenzoic acid via a dehydrogenative route, not via a hydrolytic route. This proposed metabolic pathway differs considerably from the modified meta-cleavage pathway of 2-aminophenol and those previously reported for methyl- and chloro-derivatives.
