Large perfusive silica beads (particle size 110 microm, through pore approximately 2 microm) held in place by the keystone effect were used as single-particle frits for the manufacture of particulate packed capillary columns. High-quality capillary electrochromatographic separations of a standard test mixture of alkylbenzenes were obtained over the full voltage range of 5-30 kV, with no requirement for pressurization. Excellent robustness was demonstrated by the reproducibility of migration times, peak efficiencies, and resolution during 100 consecutive runs at the highest voltage (30 kV) without thermostating and pressurization. Superior performance relative to traditional sinter-fritted columns is ascribed to the heat-free fritting process and short frit length of approximately 110 microm.

Pioglitazone (PIO) is a thiazolidindione antidiabetic agent which improves insulin sensitivity and reduces blood glucose in experimental animals and treated patients. At the cellular level the actions of PIO in diabetic heart are poorly understood. A previous study has demonstrated shortened action potential duration and inhibition of a variety of transmembrane currents including L-type Ca(2+) current in normal canine ventricular myocytes.

Methods: Bean sprout samples were extracted by acetonitrile and QuEChERS extraction kit, purified by C18 powers.
This study aims to develop a method for determination of beta-elemene, curcumol, germacrone and neocurdione in the volatile oil of Curcuma phaeocaulis, and to provide the basis of the quality control method for the volatile oil of C. phaeocaulis and the related preparations. Based on GC-MS, the 4 main compounds were simultaneously determined, with the internal standard n-tridecane.

Corticosteroid and endocannabinoid actions converge on prefrontocortical circuits associated with neuropsychiatric illnesses. Corticosteroids can also modulate forebrain synapses by using endocannabinoid effector systems. Here, we determined whether corticosteroids can modulate transmitter release directly in the frontal cortex and, in doing so, whether they affect presynaptic CB1 cannabinoid receptor- (CB1R) mediated neuromodulation.

Considering the effects of alcohol on cardiac electrical behavior as well as the important role of the inward rectifier potassium current I(K1) in arrhythmogenesis, this study was aimed at the effect of acetaldehyde, the primary metabolite of ethanol, on I(K1) in rat ventricular myocytes. Acetaldehyde induced a reversible inhibition of I(K1) with IC(50) = 53.7+/-7.
