I N 1948, Laki and Lorand1 observed that “fibrin clots” formed by the addition of calcium throm in to purified fibrinogen solutions were readily soluble in 5 NI urea and 1 per cent monochloroacetic acid. “Plasma clots” formed Iw the recalcification of oxalated plasma were insoluble in these solvents. Urea insolube clots could also be prepared 1w the addition of small amounts of plasma to the pu...

Haloacetic acids (HAAs) are a group of disinfection by-products formed in chlorinated water. Due to their potential health effects and widespread occurrences, HAAs are regulated in drinking water in the United States under a promulgated regulation. To better control the formation of HAAs in drinking water, a reliable and accurate analytical method is needed for HAA monitoring. In the present st...

Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) has been associated with a variety of infective as well as non-infective causes. HUS as a toxic manifestation of exposure to herbicides/pesticides has not been reported so far in literature. We report a subject who presented with clinical features of features of HUS after intentional suicidal ingestion of the herbicidal agent monochloroacetic acid (MCA). A 55-yea...

background and objectives: betulinic acid (ba), oleanolic acid (oa) and ursolic acid (ua) are well-known pentacyclic triterpenoids (pts), which are produced by plants. they possess a variety of beneficial effects including anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, antitumor, anti-hiv, antimicrobial, gastroprotective, and antihyperlipidemic activities. in the present study, quantitative determination...

A procedure has been developed for the measurement of total protein in cerebrospinal fluid (C SF) based on light scattering of antigen-antibody com­ plexes formed with anti-whole human serum. Twenty-five microliters of CSF are required. Precision of the method is 6.3 percent (R.S.D) and close cor­ relations are obtained with the trichloroacetic acid turbidimetric procedure. The essential condit...
