Abstract

Several two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) databases have been established and updated for more than 15 years. Only recently have developments of computer networks and high-speed transfer protocols provided the required tools for sharing comprehensive and hypermedia 2-D PAGE databases. This publication describes the SWISS-2DPAGE database structure. Proteins present in samples of human tissue, cells, cell lines and body fluids are assembled and described in an accessible uniform format. SWISS-2DPAGE can be freely accessed through the World-Wide Web (WWW) network on the ExPASy molecular biology server.

Calcium level-responsive in-vitro zinc release from zinc containing tricalcium phosphate (ZnTCP).

The in vitro Zn release from tricalcium phosphate containing Zn (ZnTCP; 0.63, 6.17, and 12.05 Zn w/w%) was investigated. The rates of release from ZnTCP powders were measured in 25 mL of simulated body fluid (SBF) containing 10 mg/100mL Ca (SBF/H), 5 mg/100mL Ca (SBF/L), or no Ca (SBF/-) at pH 7.25, 37.0+/-0.1 degrees C. The release from 6 and 12% ZnTCP was initially very fast. The rate of release from ZnTCP decreased as the concentration of Ca in the dissolution media increased, but increased as concentration of Zn in TCP increased. The dissolution kinetics of ZnTCP followed the Hixon-Crowell equation at the initial stage of dissolution, and the initial dissolution rate constant (IDR) was calculated by the least-squares method. The effect of Ca concentration on percent IDR of ZnTCP suggested that Zn release from 0.6% ZnTCP was significantly high compared to that from 6 or 12% ZnTCP. The relationship between the amount of Ca precipitated and Zn release of various ZnTCP samples suggested that the release from 0.6% ZnTCP was significantly different compared to that from 6 and 12% ZnTCP, consistent with the data for percent Zn IDR. X-ray diffraction data suggested that 0.6% ZnTCP contained 5% hydroxyapatite, a low solubility material, which acted as seed crystal during the dissolution test.

Detection of psilocin in body fluids.

Active compounds of some mushrooms e.g. Psilocybe cubensis, Paneolus subalteatus or Stropharia coronilla, the psychotropic agents psilocybin and psilocin, have hallucinogenic effects. In one case of 'magic mushroom' intake, we had to analyse blood and urine. Psilocin was detected in the urine with REMEDi HS. Most of the psilocin was excreted as the glucuronide. Therefore an enzymatic hydrolysis should be the first step in analysis. Free psilocin was determined at a concentration of 0.23 mg/l while the total amount was 1.76 mg/l urine. The concentration of psilocin in serum was too low for detection with REMEDi HS. We proved a GC-MS-method with d(3)-morphine as internal standard and silylation with MSTFA. Similarly to urine, most of the psilocin in serum was found in the conjugated form. The concentration of free psilocin was 0.018 mg/l, that of total psilocin, 0.052 mg/l serum.
