Determination of selected neonicotinoid insecticides by liquid chromatography with thermal lens spectrometric detection

We studied the analysis of trace amounts of neonicotinoid insecticides by liquid chromatography coupled with a thermal lens spectrometric detector (TLS). This multi-residue analysis method is based on the reversed phase separation on C₁₈ column, isocratic elution and collinear dual beam TLS detection. The insecticides thiamethoxam, imidacloprid, acetamiprid and thiacloprid were detected with retention times of 4.4, 5.7, 6.5 and 8.5 min and limits of quantifications of 50, 89, 10, and 25 μg/L, respectively. The retention times agreed well with those obtained by the same chromatographic method but using a diode-array detector (DAD). The limits of quantifications for imidacloprid were identical in both techniques. However, the limits of quantifications for thiamethoxam, acetamiprid and thiacloprid were up to 8.5 times lower using the TLS detector compared to the diode-array detector. The applicability of the developed procedure was tested on spiked river water and potato samples.     

Hepatologie Neuere Forschungsergebnisse in ihrer Bedeutung für das Verständnis von Leberkrankheiten

By two exemplary clinical situations — acute viral hepatitis, acute-phase reaction of the liver — the significance of basic research for the understanding of clinical phenomena and for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures is demonstrated. The very different phenomena following infection with the hepatitis-B-virus can be explained by the variation in the interactions of virus and liver cell, by the immune reaction of the host, and by mutants of the virus. The reaction of the liver to an extrahepatic infection is mediated by interleukin-6, and characterized by an alteration in protein metabolism. The synthesis of acute-phase proteins is increased. The proteins confine the local injury and establish the homeostasis of the organism.     

厌氧颗粒污泥反应器修复模拟受PCP污染地表水的性能研究

研究了用于修复模拟受ＰＣＰ污染地表水的厌氧颗粒污泥反应器降解ＰＣＰ活性的维持条件和修复性能．结果表明，降解ＰＣＰ活性可通过连续提供电子供体和选择压力来维持，操作条件为ＣＯＤ进水／ＰＣＰ进水＞３０，此时反应器具有稳定的ＰＣＰ去除和产甲烷性能；颗粒污泥反应器修复受ＰＣＰ污染地表水的性能与过程稳定性受电子供体类型、数量的影响．当ＣＯＤ／ＰＣＰ＞１５０—２００，ＨＲＴ为０５ｄ时，含ＰＣＰ１２９１ｍｇ／Ｌ的模拟受污地表水经厌氧反应器修复后，其ＰＣＰ浓度可低于１ＰＰｂ，生物毒性明显降低．
