Published: August 2009

Soluble organic fractions from soils of two agricultural sites from Brittany (France) have been analyzed to (i) identify the source of polar compounds in soils and (ii) evaluate the impact of organic fertilization and crop type on the distribution and concentration of polar compounds in soils. The main sources of polar compounds in soils are higher plants; they represent >70% of the polar compounds from the experimental sites and mainly originate from crop residues and animal manure. Crop type and animal manure application significantly increase the polar compound concentrations in soils. Among polar compounds, fatty acids cannot be used as specific markers because their distributions in soils whatever the crop type or organic fertilization type are the same. On the other hand, analysis of steroids provides interesting information. Cow and poultry manure applications increase only the concentration of steroids. Pig slurry fertilization modifies both the concentration and distribution of steroids. The identified pig slurry steroid fingerprint can persist in the soil for 9 years after the slurry application has been stopped. Those compounds are then robust markers to detect pig slurry contribution in soils.

Introduction: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (BMSC-EVs) are widely used for therapeutic purposes in preclinical studies. However, their utility in treating diabetes-associated atherosclerosis remains largely unexplored. Here, we aimed to characterize BMSC-EV-mediated regulation of autophagy and macrophage polarization.

In the current investigation, the efficiency inhibition of two newly synthesized bi-pyrazole derivatives, namely 2,3-bis[(bis((1 H-pyrazol-1-yl) methyl) amino)] pyridine (Tetra-Pz-Ortho) and 1,4-bis[(bis((1 H-pyrazol-1-yl) methyl) amino)] benzene (Tetra-Pz-Para) for corrosion of carbon steel (C&S) in 1 M HCl medium was evaluated. A Comparative study of inhibitor effect of Tetra-Pz-Ortho and Tetra-Pz-Para was conducted first using weight loss method and EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) and PDP (Potentiodynamic Polarisation) techniques. Tetra-Pz-Ortho and Tetra-Pz-Para had a maximum inhibition efficacy of 97.

Background: Persistent and mobile organic compounds (PMOC) are of great concern for water quality and human health. The recent improvement and availability of high-resolution mass spectrometry in combination with liquid chromatography have widely expanded the potential of analytical workflows for their detection and quantitation in water. Given their high polarity, the detection of some PMOC requires alternative techniques to reversed-phase chromatography, such as hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC).

Experimental and computational analysis of lipophilicity and plasma protein binding properties of potent tacrine based cholinesterase inhibitors.

The lipophilicity of thirteen tacrine/piperidine-4-carboxamide derivatives was assessed using reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography (RP-TLC) with MeOH and acetonitrile (ACN) as organic modifiers. Among the parameters evaluated, the R and C values obtained using MeOH were identified as the most reliable for characterizing the lipophilicity of the investigated compounds. The observed differences in lipophilicity among the derivatives resulted from a delicate interplay of substituent effects (hydrophobicity, polarity, steric hindrance, and electronic effects), positional influence, and characteristics of the organic modifier.
