Abstract

The mapping of elemental composition using INAA on the base of whole blood and hair of inhabitants (2500 samples) was made in Uzbekistan (CIS). The average concentrations of 15 elements (24 for hair) were determined. The results obtained were compared to regional medical statistics. The correlations for various diseases were obtained. The maps of human blood composition in comparison to those for human hair composition seem to be less significant in terms of regional contamination (probably because of stronger homeostatic control of blood). On the other hand, specific changes of blood composition were detected for some occupational groups. Relationships of blood and hair elemental composition and their relative significance are discussed.

Comparison of four homologous retention index standard series for qualitative gas chromatography of nitrogenous acidic and neutral drugs.

Four homologous retention index standard series, the alkylmethylhydantoins, alkylhydantoins, alkylmaleimides and alkylbis(trifluoromethyl)phosphine sulphides, were evaluated for the screening of blood samples for acidic and neutral drugs on Ultra 2 and HP-1701 capillary columns over a six-month period. An index series consisting of actual drug substances was used as a standard of comparison. All the series produced high precision, and the precision differences between the series were rather small. Considering the limitations of the other series, the alkylmethylhydantoins and alkylhydantoins turned out to be the most feasible internal retention index standard series in the present dual column setting.

Forensic applications of genetic polymorphisms detected in human body fluids (urine, semen and blood).

The development of a new genetic marker with forensic usefulness is difficult and costly work, but it is necessary. We discovered several new markers detected in urine, semen and blood. In particular, deoxyribonuclease I-polymorphism is one of the most useful markers for practical purposes, since it has a well-balanced gene frequency, high concentration in body fluids, stability against severe conditions, and easy and accurate detectability.

Direct measurement of serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in patients with acute myocardial infarction on admission to the emergency room.

Measurement of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol during acute myocardial infarction in nonfasting patients on initial presentation to an emergency room by any of 3 methods (ultracentrifugation, immunoseparation, or the Friedewald estimate), identifies patients eligible for antilipemic interventions. Although slightly less sensitive, the conventional Friedewald estimate of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels provides clinicians good correlation with ultracentrifugation.
