The stability of biologically important molecules, such as amino acids, being subjected to highradiation fields is relevant for chemical evolution studies. Bodies of water were very important in the primitive Earth. In these bodies, the presence of dissolved salts, together with organic molecules, could influence the behavior of the systems in prebiotic environments.The objective of this work is to examine the influence of sodium chloride on the stability of the amino acid glycine when subjected to high radiation doses. The analysis of the irradiated samples was followed by HPLC coupled with a UV-VIS detector. The results show that glycine in aqueous solutions (without oxygen) decomposed around 90% at a dose of 91 kGy. In the presence of salts, up to 80% of the amino acid was recovered at the same dose. Laboratory simulations demonstrate a protective role for sodium chloride (specifically the chloride ion) to glycine against an external source of ionizing radiation.

Sodium chloride has been found to increase the ammonia yield from Co60γ-irradiated cystine in 0.02 M H2SO4. The effect is attributed to the participation of chlorine atoms, which deaminate the amino acid to a greater extent than hydroxyl radicals. The ratio of the rate constants [Formula: see text] is determined to be 24 in 0.02 M H2SO4.

The Stability

Abstract Background Bendamustine is used for the treatment of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and myeloma. The stability of bendamustine is highly dependent on temperature and chloride-ion concentration. Limited stability data are available. The objective of this work was to study the stability of the bendamustine reconstituted solution at 2.5 mg/mL and the diluted solution in normal saline and 1.5 % sodium chloride to evaluate a potential increase in stability. Methods A stability indicating High Performance Liquid Chromatography method with Diode Array Detection was used. A first study was carried out in glass vials and then in polyolefin containers at 0.25 and 0.60 mg/mL. Solutions were stored at room temperature and at 2–8 °C for 7 days. Results Stability was defined as a concentration above 95 % of the initial concentration [10]. The reconstituted solution at 2.5 mg/mL was stable for only 2 hours at room temperature and 8 hours at 2–8 °C. The stability of diluted solutions was in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations of 3.5 hours at room temperature and 48 hours at 2–8 °C. The addition of sodium chloride doesn’t increase the stability for preparation in infusion in daily practice. Conclusions The information brought by this study is an 8-hour stability of the reconstituted solution at 2–8 °C.

The RNase activity and properties of ribosome and polysome preparations from normal rat liver and some hepatomas have been examined. Polysome and ribosome preparations from the Novikoff, McCoy MDAB, and Dunning hepatomas had considerably higher specific RNase activity than corresponding preparations from normal rat liver, Novikoff ascites, or Morris 5123 hepatomas. The optimum pH of the RNase was approximately 8.5 for all samples tested, and the samples showed no evidence of latent RNase activity when treated with 3 M sodium chloride, EDTA, urea, or p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid. The RNase activity appeared to be associated principally with breakdown products and/or subunits smaller than 80S. In the presence of Mg++ ions, subunits could reaggregate to form monomer ribosomes indistinguishable from the natural products, but some of the reassociated ribosomes could contain RNase activity which had been bound to the smaller particles. Similar results were obtained with spermine. In the hepatomas, evidence was obtained for the preexistence of considerable amounts of the smaller, RNase-containing subunits in the cell. When a small amount of crystalline bovine pancreatic RNase was added to partly dissociated ribosomes, the RNase was found only in association with the smaller subunits, and little or no enzyme was taken up by ribosomes or polysomes. The results have led to the conclusion that RNase is not a normal constituent of the ribosome or polysome, but that RNase may become associated with these particulates if dissociation and reassociation take place. Some implications of these findings for the stability of messenger RNA and for the mechanism of its breakdown are discussed.

Abstract Two different blood-gas analyzers were tested to determine the effects on blood pH measurement of changing the reference bridge solution from saturated KCl to normal saline (0.16 mol of NaCl per liter). This change, which necessitated the preparation of modified buffers equimolal in NaCl with respect to blood, virtually eliminated salt depletion of the bridge solution and improved the stability of the liquid-junction potential between the bridge solution and the sample. The instruments we used were the Corning 165 pH Blood Gas Analyzer and the Radiometer E5021 pH Electrode with PHM72 Acid Base Analyzer. Comparison of results on clinical blood samples indicates that performance with the modified bufferbridge system is the same as that obtained with the conventional scheme. Analytical performances of the Corning and Radiometer instruments for PO2 and PCO2, as well as for pH, were comparable.

Summary1. The rates of sedimentation of a kaolin suspension in presence of varying concentrations of a salt (sodium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium sulphate, di-sodium hydrogen phosphate, sodium citrate, calcium chloride, calcium sulphate, monocalcium phosphate, “superphosphate”, aluminium chloride, ferric chloride or lanthanum chloride) have been compared at various pH values. Abnormal results are obtained with sodium chloride, monocalcium phosphate, aluminium, ferric and lanthanum chlorides.2. Sodium chloride increases the rate of sedimentation in alkaline solution, but actually inhibits it in acid solution.3. In concentrations of monocalcium phosphate above 0·06 per cent, abnormal sedimentation in alkaline solution takes place, with the result that it is much more complete than at the corresponding concentrations in acid solution.4. In acid solution the tervalent ions, aluminium, ferric and lanthanum have little effect, but a zone of very marked flocculation occurs at pH 7–8. This zone separates a region within which the unsedimented particles are negatively charged from a region within which they are positively charged.

In this study, the chloride adsorption behaviors of CaAl-Cl LDH precursors with various Ca:Al ratios were investigated. The optimal chloride ion removal rate was 87.06% due to the formation of hydrocalumite. The chloride adsorption products of CaAl-Cl LDH precursors were further characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and atomic structure analysis, the adsorption mechanism was considered to be co-precipitate process. The chloride adsorption behaviors of cementitious materials blended with CaAl-Cl LDH precursors were further investigated. Leaching test according to Test Code for Hydraulic Concrete (SL352-2006) was performed to testify the stability of chloride ions in the mortar. The results show that more than 98.3% chloride ions were immobilized in cement mortar blended with CaAl-Cl LDH precursor and cannot be easily released again. The inhibition performance of steel in the electrolytes with/without CaAl LDH precursor was investigated by using electrochemical measurements. The results indicate that CaAl LDH precursor can effectively protect the passive film on steel surface by chloride adsorption. Considering the high anion exchange capacities of the LDHs, synthesized chloride adsorbent precursor can be applied as new inhibitors blended in cementitious materials to prevent the chloride-induced deterioration. Moreover, the application of chloride adsorption on CaAl-Cl LDH could also be of interest for the application of seawater blended concrete.
