A reversed-phase h.p.l.c. system, with an ODS-Hypersil column with acetonitrile or methanol in ammonium acetate buffer as mobile phase, is described for the separation of uro-and copro-porphyrinogen isomers. The porphyrinogens are detected amperometrically with sensitivity comparable with that of the fluorescent detection of porphyrins. The effects of pH, buffer concentration and organic modifi...

BACKGROUND Widespread use of herbal medications/supplements among the presurgical population may have a negative effect on perioperative patient care. Thus, the authors' goal was to identify the prevalence of such use in a cosmetic surgery patient population compared with use among the general public; to assess physician awareness of proper management of these herbal medications/supplements; an...

o bjectives: this study aimed to compare a number of new nanocomposites capable of pro- tecting the jaw from ionizing radiation. mat erials and methods: four different types of nano-powders [ti, zr (iv) oxide, ag and co] were mixed in a polymer matrix to create nano-composites with doping values of 8% in weight. small-angle x-ray scattering (saxs) analysis was performed using a hecus- saxs syst...

this study aims to determine the effect of fermentation condition and saccharomyces strains on the ph, foam property and co2 concentration of non-alcoholic beer (ma-al-shaeer). for this, the beer samples were inoculated with four different species of saccharomyces (saccharomyces rouxii 70531, s. rouxii 70535, s. ludwigii 3447 and s. cerevisiae 70424) and fermented for 48h in both aerobic and pe...

in the current study, the effects of ethanol (etoh) on toxicokinetics of methamphetamine (ma) and its metabolite amphetamine (ap) were investigated. a single dose of ma hydrochloride at 15 mg/kg was given intragastrically, either alone (ma group; n = 8) or in conjunction with 3 g/kg etoh (ma+etoh group; n = 8) to rabbits. in placebo group, normal saline only was given (placebo group; n = 4). pl...
