Novel Y-Chromosome Long Non-Coding RNAs Expressed in Human Male CNS During Early Development.

Global microarray gene expression analyses previously demonstrated differences in female and male embryos during neurodevelopment. In particular, before sexual maturation of the gonads, the differences seem to concentrate on the expression of genes encoded on the X- and Y-chromosomes. To investigate genome-wide differences in expression during this early developmental window, we combined high-resolution RNA sequencing with qPCR to analyze brain samples from human embryos during the first trimester of development.

Determination of cadmium by differential pulse adsorptive stripping voltammetry.

A study of the adsorptive stripping voltammetry of cadmium on a mercury drop electrode is reported in which 2-mercapto-5-phenyl-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole (MPATD), synthesized at home has been used as a chelating agent. The most suitable operating conditions and parameters such as buffer, pH, deposition potential, deposition time, ligand concentration, scan rate and others were selected and the determination of cadmium from aqueous solutions using the standard additions method was possible. As validation criteria, the linearity and range, repeatability of the signal, repeatability of the concentration and accuracy were investigated.

Spectrophotometric determination of fluoride in dosage forms and dental preparations.

The method is based upon the reaction between fluoride ions and the coloured complex of Fe(III) with methyl salicylate to form the stable, colourless hexaflouride complex of iron. The conditions of the method (pH, time and combination ratio) were studied and a standard curve was obtained for 0.01-0.
