Development and optimization of an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the determination of Hexoestrol

An indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of hexoestrol (HES) was developed, optimized and validated for the analysis of HES in pork. Many parameters, such as the volume ratio of solution A and solution B, colour developing time, pH value, incubation time, the volume ratio of the standard solution and diluted antiserum, blocking solution, blocking condition, coating solution and coating condition were studied and optimized in the paper. The regression equation of the final inhibition curve is y = - 0.3345x + 1.4955, R²=0.9913. The linear range is 0.1-8.1 ng/ml, and the IC₅₀ is 0.671 ng/ml. The specificity of the assay was evaluated by the cross-reactivity rates of six compounds, of which two structurally related compounds had a relatively higher cross-reactivity rate of 25% and 6%. HES was added into a pork sample at 5 ng/g level and then the sample was extracted. The recovery is between 49.6% and 79.2%, and the variation coefficient is 0.164.

Microanatomy of endoscope-assisted glabellar nasal keyhole approach.

OBJECTIVE: To make a study of the detailed microanatomy of endoscope-assisted glabellar nasal keyhole approach (GNKA) to be used clinically. METHODS: 10 dry adult Chinese skulls were measured and 10 perfused cadaveric heads were dissected to mimic the GNKA. RESULTS: Average distances between bilateral supraorbital foramen/incisure, supratrochlear incisure, medial orbital wall were 47.71+/-3.61 mm, 33.67+/-3.82 mm and 24.34+/-1.29 mm, respectively, in dry skulls. Average distance from nasion to medial inter-canthus line (ICL) was 10.31+/-1.02 mm in cadaveric heads. The nasion was 3.95+/-0.45 mm above the cribriform plate (CP) and the ICL is 6.25+/-0.71 mm below. With the assistance of endoscopes, GNKA can expose all extradural structures near the midline from the anterior skull base to the ventral brain stem corresponding to the clivus. The exposed clival dura was 19.18+/-1.44 mm in width and 25.44+/-1.25 mm in length. Intradural structures such as frontal base, parasellar area, longitudinal fissure and the third ventricle floor, can also be exposed. CONCLUSION: GNKA is a minimally invasive and effective anterior skull base approach. Determining the inferior margin of incision by ICL instead of nasion is more convenient and can expose the subcranial area better.     

Thickness effects of a carbon-supported platinum catalyst layer on the electrochemical reduction of oxygen in sulfuric acid solution

The influence of the thickness of a carbon-supported platinum catalyst layer on the oxygen reduction reaction (orr) has been studied in sulfuric acid solution by means of a thin-film rotating disk electrode. Pronounced changes in the Pt utilization, electrode activity and the orr kinetics have been observed upon varying the catalyst layer thickness. The thicker film electrode exhibits a higher Pt utilization efficiency and higher activity, and promotes the orr kinetics at potentials relevant to fuel cell operations. The participation of Pt surfaces not in contact with the electrolyte solution in electrochemical reactions via the spillover of adsorbed hydrogen and oxygen species, is proposed to be responsible for the changes. The thicker catalyst layer is likely to modify the Pt particle–particle distance by providing shared Pt sites between adjacent carbon supports, to improve the surface density of active catalyst particles per single carbon support by sharing adjacent catalyst sites, and to increase the ratio of the particle surfaces free of blocking anions to the catalyst|electrolyte interface surfaces. The carbon-supported platinum catalyst layer becomes active at 0.90 V vs RHE only when the catalyst layer is thicker than 1 μm. To provide reasonable activity, the minimum catalyst layer thickness should be around 2–4 μm. These results should be considered in the design of the cathode catalyst layer of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells.
