Alteration of Elastin, Collagen and their Cross-links in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms

OBJECTIVES: although the mechanism of arterial dilation and aneurysm development has not been clarified, the degradation of elastin and collagen plays undoubtedly a critical role. We evaluated the elastin and collagen content through the detection of their cross-links in aneurysmal and non-aneurysmal abdominal aortic walls. MATERIALS AND METHODS: in 26 human abdominal aortic aneurysm specimens obtained during surgery and in 24 autopsy control samples of non-aneurysmal abdominal aorta the tissue content of elastin and collagen cross-links were measured by HPLC. Collagen was also detected by evaluating two characteristic amino acids, 4-hydroxyproline (4-hypro) with a colorimetric method and 5-hydroxylysine (5-hylys) by gas chromatography. RESULTS: significantly fewer elastin cross-links were found in aneurysm samples compared to controls (desmosines and isodesmosines: 90% reduction; p<0.01). The opposite was true for pyridinoline collagen cross-links (350% increase) and deoxypyridinolines (100% increase, p=0.01). Tissue content of 5-hylys, 4-hypro and total amino acids were reduced significantly by 50% in aneurysmal samples. CONCLUSIONS: beside confirming decreased elastin content in aneurysmal walls, these results show a concurrent increase of collagen cross-links. Since total collagen markers were decreased (decreased 4-hypro and 5-hylys) it is reasonable to suggest that in aneurysmal aortic walls old collagen accumulates cross-links while new collagen biosynthesis is somehow defective.     

Enantiomeric Resolution of Drug Compounds by Liquid Chromatography

Novel techniques have recently emerged to separate chiral drug compounds into pure enantiomers. The mechanism, experimental difficulties, and applicability of these methods can vary greatly, and the choices involved are not straightforward. The most significant new advances in the field of chiral separations have come from work done with liquid chromatographic systems and chiral stationary-phase columns. This review describes several commonly used approaches to chiral separation, diastereomeric derivatization, chiral mobile-phase additives, and three major types of chiral stationary phases. Although no single method can be judged superior for every drug application, it appears that chiral stationary phases have received the most attention recently and they are emphasized here.

A rapid solid-phase extraction and HPLC/DAD procedure for the simultaneous determination and quantification of different benzodiazepines in serum,blood and post-mortem blood

Summary A rapid and quantitative method for the determination of benzodiazepines using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode-array detection (DAD) is reported. The drugs were extracted from serum, blood or post-mortem blood using C₁₈ extraction columns. Brotizolam was used as internal standard. Experiments with spiked serum/blood samples resulted in recoveries between 75% and 94% for all investigated benzodiazepines. Excellent linearity was obtained over the concentration range 5–1500 ng benzodiazepine/ml. The limit of detection was approximately 2 ng/ml. The detection of low therapeutic serum levels of highly potent benzodiazepines is also possible.

急性重复性缺氧小鼠脑组织中儿茶酚胺类神经递质含量变化的研究

用高效液相-电化学检测器测定急性重复性缺氧小鼠脑组织中DOPA、DA、NE和Ep等儿茶酚胺类物质的含量。结果发现:与空白对照组(A组)比较,缺氧1次的实验对照组(B组)及急性重复缺氧4次实验组(C组),随缺氧次数增加,小鼠脑组织中的DA含量显着上升(P<0.01),NE、DOPA含量明显降低(P<0.05或<0.01);A组与急性重复4次缺氧后饲养2d的实验对照组(D组)小鼠脑组织中儿茶酚胺类含量接近,没有统计学意义(P=23.77).结果提示脑组织中儿茶酚胺类物质可能参与急性重复缺氧小鼠的耐缺氧能力的形成,而且是一个可逆的快反应。
