background : rhoptries are unique secretory/excretory organelles that are found exclusively in the apicomplexa, and their contents are discharged at the time of invasion and are critical in the establishment of productive infection. several rhoptry proteins have been identified in toxoplasma gondii , plasmodium falciparum and neospora caninum and have been linked not only with the parasites’ ad...

abstract        background and objective: measurement of amino acids is an important tool for metabolic studies and evaluation of patients’ clinical condition. the aim of this study was to analyze the plasma amino acids using reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography techniques (rp-hplc) with pre-column derivatization by o-phthalaldehyde (opa) in combination with 3- mercaptopropionic...

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) using a cationic surfactant as a pseudostationary phase was examined to separate anionic metal cyclohexane-1,2-diaminetetraacetic acid (CDTA) complexes. Cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) was employed as the cationic surfactant micelle, its addition leading to EOF reversal. Cu(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Mn(II) and Pb(II) were used as test analytes, an...

The stratification of thin liquid films formed from micellar solutions or latex suspensions can be explained by layer-by-layer destruction of a colloid crystal structure inside the film. The stepwise decrease of the film thickness is due to appearance and growth of dark spots (of less thickness) in the film. This phenomenon is analyzed in the present paper, and an explanation is proposed. The d...

Using complementary physical-chemical techniques we defined five different crystallization pathways as functions of time (30 days) and increasing lecithin (egg yolk) content in pathophysiologically relevant model biles super-saturated (cholesterol saturation indices, 1.2 - 2.7) by dilution of approximately equal to 29 g/dl bile salt-lecithin-cholesterol micellar solutions. As evidenced by quasi...

a high performance liquid chromatography method was studied for determination of 18 ?-glycyrrhetinic acid in glycyrrhiza glabra l. (licorice) extract. the operating condition were c-18 reversed phase column (vp-ods, (250×4.6 mm, 5 mm)) at room temperature, acetonitril/phosphoric acid (3/1) as mobile phase, at flow rate of 0.6ml/min (0-8min), 0.4ml/min (8-20min) and uv detection at 230 nm. the r...

In this study, I separated gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) using the reversed electrode polarity stacking mode (REPSM) of a capillary electrophoresis system for on-line enhancement prior to performing micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC). In the first part of this paper, I discuss the effects of several new and important parameters, the nature of the added salt, the pH of the sample matrix...

this study propose a new analytical protocol for the determination of benzene, xylene, toluene and styrene in water samples using homogeneous liquid-liquid microextraction via flotation assistance (hllme-fa) technique followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (gc-ms). in this research, a special extraction cell was designed to facilitate collection of the low-density solvent extraction. ...
