Quantitative analysis in capillary electrophoresis based on time-scale electropherograms generally uses time-corrected peak areas to account for the differences in apparent velocities between solutes. However, it could be convenient and much more relevant to change the time-scale electropherograms into mass relative distribution of the effective mobility or any other characteristic parameter (molar mass, chemical composition, charge density, ...). In this study, the theoretical background required to perform the variable change on the electropherogram was developed with an emphasis on the fact that both x and y axes should be changed when the time scale electropherograms are modified to get the distributions. Applications to the characterization of polymers and copolymers by different modes of capillary electrophoresis (CE) are presented, including the molar mass distribution of poly-L-lysine oligomers by capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE), molar mass distribution of end-charged poly-l-alanine by free solution CE, molar mass distribution of evenly charged polyelectrolytes by CGE, and charge density distribution of variously charged polyelectrolytes by free solution CE.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the possible bidirectional interrelations between fructose-induced metabolic syndrome (MS) and apical periodontitis (AP).

Methodology: Twenty-eight male Wistar rats were distributed into four groups (n = 7, per group): Control (C), AP, Fructose Consumption (FRUT) and Fructose Consumption and AP (FRUT+AP). The rats in groups C and AP received filtered water, while those in groups FRUT and FRUT+AP received a 20% fructose solution mixed with water to induce MS.

Nitric oxide-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (NO-GC) is a heterodimeric enzyme with an α- and a β-subunit. In its active form as an αβ-heterodimer, NO-GC produces cyclic guanosine-3',5'-monophophate (cGMP) to regulate vasodilation and proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). In contrast to VSMCs, only a few studies reported on the expression of the NO-GC αβ-heterodimer in human pericytes.

A series of Si-H- or Si-Vi-terminated, branched and linear oligomers containing MeSiO segments were prepared by equilibrium polymerization or non-equilibrium polymerization initiated by living anions, respectively. These oligomers were used to improve the defects of concentrated crosslinking points and the high hardness of crosslinked products when using phenyltris(dimethylsiloxy)silane or 1,1,5,5-tetramethyl-3,3-diphenyl trisiloxane as crosslinking agents in the preparation of silicone gel. NMR, FT-IR, and GPC characterized the structure and molecular weight information of the prepared oligomers.

Multicomponent quantitative analysis (MCQA) is necessary for comprehensively characterizing the quality of complex samples, including medicines, foods. However, the limited supply of reference substances and the high costs associated with testing hinder the application of the MCQA using the external standard (ES) method. Here we propose a Molar Mass Coefficient (MMC) method for the quantification of multiple compounds with identical chromophore utilizing a single reference compound (SRC) by a UV detector.
