RESUMO

The research on oligosaccharides is growing and gaining in importance at a rapid pace. The efforts to understand their bioactivity and to develop new products based on oligosaccharides in biotherapeutics and food industry require effective and reliable tools for analysis of oligosaccharides. Here we present a dual electrolytic eluent generation platform for the analysis of oligosaccharides by high-performance anion-exchange liquid chromatography (HPAE) in both analytical and capillary column formats. The system consists of one eluent generator producing methanesulfonic acid (MSA) connected in series with a second eluent generator producing potassium hydroxide (KOH). Through manipulating the concentration output of both eluent generators, chromatographic performance comparable to that obtained using the conventional sodium acetate/sodium hydroxide (NaOAc/NaOH) eluents is achieved using the electrolytically generated potassium methanesulfonate/potassium hydroxide (KMSA/KOH) eluent. This platform utilizes deionized water as the only carrier stream through a single isocratic pump, overcomes the various drawbacks associated with manually prepared NaOAc/NaOH eluents, and offers an easy to use, simplified operation solution for oligosaccharides profiling with increased precision and accuracy.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: A major cause of mortality in hemodialysis patients is cardiac disease. Most complementary and alternative therapies, including Chinese herbal medicine, have been useful in the treatment of cardiac disorders. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 46 year old Asian woman with chronic renal failure was admitted to the clinic for hemodialysis. In the course of the fifth session of standard dialysis, she developed shock followed by a ventricular tachycardia which rapidly degenerated into cardiac arrest, from which she was resuscitated through cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. The following therapeutic strategies were applied: low discharge oxygen inhalation; stricter water and salt restriction; dialysate temperature set at 36.0 °C; rhEPO 3000u, per week, low molecular weight iron dextran, 200mg/day, intravenously for five days; the patient received Chinese herbal concoction orally. RESULTS: The patient obtained efficient standard dialysis without any cardiac syndrome. CONCLUSION: Chinese herbs are useful in the management of cardiac disorders in hemodialysis. Chinese herbs may provide more benefits by adjusting dialysis strategies.

RESUMO

Films of human cytochrome P450 1A2 (cyt P450 1A2) and polystyrene sulfonate were constructed on carbon cloth electrodes using layer-by-layer alternate absorption and evaluated for electrochemical- and H(2)O(2)-driven enzyme-catalyzed oxidation of styrene to styrene oxide. At -0.6 V vs. saturated calomel reference electrode in an electrochemical cell, epoxidation of styrene was mediated by initial catalytic reduction of dioxygen to H(2)O(2) which activates the enzyme for the catalytic oxidation. Slightly larger turnover rates for cyt P450 1A2 were found for the electrolytic and H(2)O(2) (10 mM) driven reactions compared to conventional enzymatic reactions using cyt P450s, reductases, and electron donors for cytochromes P450 1A2. Cyt P450(cam) gave comparable turnover rates in film electrolysis and solution reactions. Results demonstrate that cyt P450 1A2 catalyzes styrene epoxidation faster than cyt P450(cam), and suggests the usefulness of this thin-film electrolytic method for relative turnover rate studies of cyt P450s.

RESUMO

An ion chromatographic method was developed for the determination of nine inorganic and organic acid anions at sub- to low-microg/l levels in power plant water samples. In this method, samples were injected using a large-volume direct injection technique, the analyte anions were separated on a hydroxide-selective anion-exchange column using high-purity hydroxide eluents generated by an on-line electrolytic eluent generator and detected using the suppressed conductivity detection method. The method performance was evaluated by analyzing synthetic water samples containing additives encountered in the power plant water samples and four water samples from a fossil fuel power plant. The relative standard deviations of retention times of analyte ions separated on the hydroxide-selective anion-exchange column were less than 0.4%. The recoveries of analyte ions spiked into the synthetic water samples at concentrations of 0.13-1.0 microg/l were in the range of 70-120%. The method detection limits for analyte ions in deionized water were 0.0099, 0.0056, 0.019, 0.057, 0.0084, 0.023, 0.067, 0.037, and 0.079 microg/l for fluoride, acetate, formate, chloride, nitrite, sulfate, bromide, nitrate, and phosphate, respectively.
