Refractive index measurement using an interferometric imaging system and observation of chemical wave shapes were carried out during chemical wave propagation of a cerium-catalyzed Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. Densities increased as chemical waves propagated in samples without NaBr, and decreased in samples with NaBr. Concentration changes of malonic acid, bromomalonic acid, and BrO3- were estimated from Raman spectral measurements in a stirred batch BZ reaction, and these also exhibited differences between samples with and without NaBr. It is proposed that a reaction subset yielding low molecular weight carboxylic acids is predominant in samples with NaBr, whereas a pathway leading to dibromoacetic acid or tribromoacetic acid production is the major process in samples without NaBr.

Mixed-mode separation of antisense oligonucleotides using a single column with complementary anion-exchange and hydrophobic interaction chromatography approaches.
J Chromatogr A
January 2025
Genetics Guided Dementia Discovery (G2D2), Eisai, Inc. 35 Cambridge Park Drive, Suite 200, Cambridge, MA, 02140, USA.
The current study investigates the use of mixed-mode chromatography as a combination of anion-exchange (AEX) and hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) for the analysis and purification of single-stranded antisense oligonucleotides with stereo-controlled phosphorothioate inter- nucleotide linkages. Initially a Scherzo-SS-C18 trimodal stationary phase with reversed-phase/AEX/ cation-exchange (CEX) functionalities is systematically evaluated to reveal the presence of U-shaped retention composed of two retention modes namely AEX and HIC, where the latter was also observed on related trimodal Scherzo SM and SW analogues. For the first time, retention and separation of deprotected oligonucleotides was described on a single mixed-mode column using a combination of AEX and HIC.

Article Synopsis
- - The study compares two decellularization methods (enzyme-detergent and detergent-detergent) to see how they affect the structure and mechanics of human urethral tissue, using samples from 18 individuals.
- - Both methods successfully removed cellular content while maintaining essential extracellular matrix components like collagen and elastic fibers, indicating they preserved the tissue's structural integrity.
- - Biomechanical tests showed that the detergent-detergent method resulted in lower stress levels compared to native tissues, and both methods had reduced elasticity, but none were toxic to stem cells, suggesting they are viable for tissue engineering and biobanking.
Determination of Minor and Trace Elements in Breast Milk of Lactating Mothers in Early Lactation from Tehran, Iran Using Neutron Activation Analysis Method.
Biol Trace Elem Res
November 2024
Pediatrics Infectious Diseases Research Center, Institute of Immunology and Infectious Diseases, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
This study aimed to evaluate the concentrations of both essential and non-essential elements in the breast milk of lactating mothers from Tehran, Iran, during the colostrum period. Neutron activation analysis (NAA) was used to measure the element concentrations. Additionally, the study assessed how these element concentrations were influenced by maternal factors such as age and economic status.

Universite Claude Bernard Lyon 1, CNRS, IRCELYON, UMR 5256, F-69626 Villeurbanne, France.
Article Synopsis
- The study reveals that hydrogen peroxide (HO) is spontaneously produced at the liquid-ice interface when freezing dilute salt solutions, including various salts like NaCl and NaI.
- The rate of HO production correlates with salt concentration and aligns with the Workman-Reynolds freezing potential (WRFP) values, suggesting a connection between salt concentration and hydrogen peroxide formation.
- The mechanism involves the self-recombination of hydroxyl radicals (OH·) created by the high electric field at the aqueous-ice interface, with oxygen potentially enhancing radical production, leading to increased HO generation.
Identification of organic contaminants in water and related matrices using untargeted liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry screening with MS/MS libraries.

Water Research Institute, Nábr. arm. gen. L. Svobodu 5, 81249, Bratislava, Slovakia.
Nontargeted and suspect screening with liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) has become an indispensable tool for quality assessment in the aquatic environment - complementary to targeted analysis of organic (micro)contaminants. An LC-HRMS method is presented, suitable for the analysis of a wide variety of water related matrices: surface water, groundwater, wastewater, sediment and sludge, including extracts from passive samplers and on-site solid phase enrichment, while focusing on the data processing aspect of the method. A field study is included to demonstrate the practical application and versatility of the whole process.
