AbstractThere is no certified control material for hemoglobin analysis which has the hemoglobin (Hb)AWashed and dialysed erythrocytes of normal individuals and patients with β-thalassemia trait, HbE trait, β-thalassemia/HbE disease, homozygous HbE were lysed in 5% sucrose solution. The lyophilized hemoglobin control materials were prepared by using a freeze-drying (lyophilization) method. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of lyophilized hemoglobin was performed after storing at –20°C for 1, 15 and 30 days and for 3 months.The chromatograms of lyophilized hemoglobin control materials showed similar patterns and similar levels of HbA, HbAThe lyophilized hemoglobin could be developed and used as control materials for hemoglobin analysis.

AbstractTo date, the hemoglobin (Hb) typing control materials for laboratory investigation of thalassemia with low (1.8%–3.2%) and high (4%–6%) levels of HbAErythrocytes of blood samples containing Hb Bart’s, HbH, HbE, HbF, Hb Constant Spring (CS), Hb Hope, and Hb Q-Thailand were washed and dialysed with 0.85% saline solution. The erythrocytes were then lysed in 5% sucrose solution. The lyophilized Hb typing control materials were prepared by using a freeze drying (lyophilization) method. The high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of lyophilized Hb was performed after the storage at −20 °C for 1 year and also after reconstitution and storage at 4 or −20 °C for 30 days. In addition, the Hb analysis was compared between the three different methods of HPLC, low pressure liquid chromatography (LPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE).Following a year of storage at −20 °C, the HPLC chromatograms of lyophilized Hb typing control materials showed similar patterns to the equivalent fresh whole blood. The stability of reconstituted Hb typing control materials was also observed through 30 days after reconstitution and storage at −20 °C. Moreover, the Hb typing control materials could be analyzed by three methods, HPLC, LPLC and CE. Even a degraded peak of HbCS was found on CE electropherogram.The lyophilized Hb typing control materials could be developed and used as control materials for investigation of thalassemia and hemoglobinopathies.

Oxytetracycline (OTC), also known commercially as Terramycin, was determined to be more stable in honey than in buffered aqueous solutions at similar pH values and temperatures. A rapid high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to detect and quantitate OTC using a 1:1 dilution (wt/wt) of honey samples in water. Using 355 nm as the wavelength of detection, amounts as low as 0.5 μg/ml could be detected in the above solution. The limits of detection were lowered considerably by a double extraction procedure.

HPLC analysis of the true huckleberry species Gaylussacia baccata, G. dumosa, G. frondosa, G. mosieri, and G. ursina identified the 3-monoarabinosides, 3-monogalactosides, and 3-monoglucosides of cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, peonidin, and petunidin. Gaylussacia brachycera contained all anthocyanins, except peonidin-3-arabinoside. Gaylussacia brachycera differed from other species in percent delphinidin-3-arabinoside. It was higher than the other species in percent of the aglycone delphinidin and lower in cyanidin, and also higher in percent of the sugar arabinose. There were no detectable differences among the other species for anthocyanins, aglycones, or aglycone-sugars. The phylogenetic implications of the similarities among species of Gaylussacia and Vaccinium in anthocyanins, aglycones, and aglycone-sugars of the fruit were discussed.Key words: High-performance liquid chromatography, huckleberries, blueberries, chemotaxonomy, taxonomy, biosystematics

Effects of baicalein on release of slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis (SRS-A) or leukotriene (L T) from the sensitized guinea pig lung after antigen challenge and tonus of guinea pig tracheal muscles were studied. Baicalein inhibited release of SRS-A from sensitized guinea pig lung after antigen challenge. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that released SRS-A consisted of LTC 4 and D 4. Baicalein also reduced release of LTC 4 and D 4 from the sensitized lung after antigen challenge. Baicalein relaxed the isolated guinea pig tracheal smooth muscle contracted by LTD 4, carbachol or histamine. However, this compound produced a contraction when the tracheal muscle was contracted by prostaglandin F 2α ( PGF 2α). This contraction by baicalein was abolished by pretreatment with indomethacin, a cyclooxygenase inhibitor. Baicalein elicited a relaxation in the normal non-sensitized tracheal preparation but a contraction in the tissue isolated from actively sensitized guinea pig in 4 among 7 cases. Baicalein also produced a contraction in the trachea pretreated with phorbol dibutyrate and contracted by carbachol, which was eliminated after treatment with indomethacin. The results suggest that baicalein exerts action via, at least, two different mechanisms, the inhibition of releasing SRS-A (LTs) and direct relaxing effects on the trachea. Besides, baicalein seems to produce contraction under certain conditions, which may involve stimulation of the cyclooxygenase pathway.

Abstract The aim of the study was to compare dark beer before and after a freeze drying rehydration cycle. The pH, colour, and concentrations of extract, organic acids, and phenolic compounds were determined. Dark beer before and after freeze drying was analysed using standard brewing analysis methods of the Mitteleuropäische Brautechnische Analysenkommision (MEBAK) and two types of chromatography: high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Increase of pH was not observed in dark beer after freeze drying. Dissolved powdered beer in deionised water was clear, dark brown, without sediments, and reproduced the original commercially available dark beer, with original extract substance content 8.88%. Concentrations of the following organic acids were determined: oxalic, tartaric, quinic, malic, ascorbic, lactic, acetic, citric, fumaric, and succinic. Volatile compounds by GC/MS analysis were isolated from dark beer before and after freeze drying.
