the protective effects of rheum tanguticum polysaccharide 1 (rtp1), which is extracted from the chinese traditional medicine rheum tanguticum, on radiation-induced intestinal mucosal injury was investigated. rat intestinal crypt epithelial cells (iec-6 cells) and sprague-dawley rats were each divided into control, irradiated and rtp1-pretreated irradiated groups. after irradiation, cell surviva...

In this paper, a novel flow injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) method is proposed for the determination of picomolar L(-1) levels of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) in exhaled breath condensate (EBC). This method is based on the oxidation of a low concentration of luminol (10(-7) M) by H(2)O(2) at a low concentration level (< 10(-8) M) in an alkaline medium catalyzed by a complex, K(5)[Cu(HIO(6))...
