[HPLC determination of uracil xanthine, hypoxanthine and uridine in species of animal drugs].

OBJECTIVE: To make further studies on the water-soluble components in animal drugs by determining the contents of uracil, xanthine, hypoxanthine and uridine from ten species of animal drugs. METHOD: The determination was affected by RP-HPLC, using Shim-pack CLC-ODS column(150 mm x 6 mm), 0.05 mol/L dibasic ammonium phosphate solution as mobile phase, flow rate 0.8 ml/min and detection at 254 nm. RESULTS: This method is accurate, rapid and reproducible. Analytical data for Hirudo nipponia, Eupolyphaga sinensis, Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans, Buthus martensii, Bombyx mori, Mylabris cicorri, Aspongopus chinensis, Lytta caraganae, Tabanus bivittatus and Huechys sanguinea are given. CONCLUSION: There are marked discrepancies in the contents of the four components as shown on the chromatograms, a point that may be helpful in identifying the above-cited ten species of animal drugs.

[Fatal self-poisoning with the tetracyclic antidepressive drug, ludiomil (author's transl)].

The clinical and analytical data are presented of a case of severe Ludiomil self-poisoning (assumed total ingested dose: 3000 mg). Ludiomil resembles the tricyclic antidepressive drugs in regard to its toxic effects. Two essential observations made in Ludiomil poisoning are: 1) the limited therapeutic possibilities due to delayed elimination and 2) the severe degree of respiratory distress.

A shotgun wedding: business decision support meets clinical decision support.

By effectively closing the loop between the data, analytics, processes, and methods supporting business and clinical decision making, a healthcare organization closes the loop between its knowledge generation activities and its actions at the bedside: knowledge guiding actions, actions generating knowledge.

Multiple regression in rehabilitation research.

This article examines applications of multiple regression in rehabilitation research. The authors address the logic and assumptions of correlational research, annotated with examples from the contemporary rehabilitation and allied health literature. As a means of testing relationships between a set of independent variables and one dependent variable, multiple regression is presented as a flexible and useful data analytic strategy.

[The comparison of contents of uracil, xanthine and hypoxanthine in five species of leech].

Three constituents(uracil, xanthine, hypoxanthine) were isolated from five species of leech and determined by reversed phase HPLC. The column employed was Shim-pack CLC-ODS C18(150 mm x 6 mm). The mobile phase was 0.05 mol/l ammonium phophate dibasic solution(pH = 8.4). The flow rate was 0.8 ml/min and detection was effected at 254 nm. This method is accurate, rapid and reproducible. Analytical data for five species and Whitmania pigra samples from different places were given.

[Characterization of PM10 in different environmental situations: studies in 2 urban sites and a rural site].

BACKGROUND: Among the atmospheric pollutants detectable in the environment, the inhalable airborne particulate (PM10) is regarded with increasing concern. Indeed a number of epidemiological studies support the correlation between both acute and chronic adverse health effects and the presence of PM10 levels even lower than the WHO guide lines. Despite these epidemiological findings, it is yet unclear and still widely debated which characteristics of particulate matter are responsible for the observed health effects. The identification of one or more components of PM10 related to the health effects observed in the urban population is a research subject of primary importance for the coming years. OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to characterise from a physical-chemical point of view the "coarse" (PM10-2.1) and the "fine" (PM2.1) fractions of the airborne particulate matter (PM10) sampled in three different sites dissimilar with regard to the weather conditions, the residential density and industrial activities. METHODS: The particles were collected by an eight-stage cascade impactor (Andersen particle fractionating sampler) with a pre-separator stage able to remove particles with aerodynamic diameter > 10 microns. Analysis of the particle samples was performed by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with a thin-window system for X-ray microanalysis by energy dispersion spectrometry. RESULTS: The Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) of the analytical data revealed the presence of seven different particulate types (particle clusters) in the sampling sites: C-rich particles (cluster 1); Ca and Mg carbonates (cluster 2); Ca sulphates (cluster 3); silica particles (cluster 4); silicates (cluster 5); Fe-rich particles (cluster 6); metal compounds (cluster 7). CONCLUSIONS: Data obtained in this study demonstrated a significant correlation between the "coarse" fraction (PM10-2.1) composition and the characteristics of the sampling site. On the contrary the "fine" fraction (PM2.1) composition showed an unexpected uniformity in all the environments.

Role of kidney in hypertension.

Renin angiotensin system in the genesis of hypertension was established long after Goldblatt's belief that the minute capillaries of the kidney regulate blood pressure and he also suggested kidney released a pressure substance which lead to rise of blood pressure. Guyton provided experimental and analytical data supporting the role of renal pressure natriuresis in the regulation of normal circulation and its function resulting in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Hady and Overbeck proposed that the blood pressure of volume expanded hypertension was raised by a circulating inhibitor of the Na+/K+ ATPase pump. Brenner et al proposed that hypertension may arise from a congenital reduction in the number of nephrons or in the filtration surface area per glomerulus, thereby limiting ability to excrete sodium, raising blood pressure. Renin angiotensin system can be interrupted at four sites by adrenergic blocker, renin inhibitor, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor and angiotensin receptor blocker. Non-modulation in the face of relatively high dietary sodium could explain the pathogenesis of sodium sensitive hypertension and provide a more targeted, rational therapy for its correction.
