Abstract A study was made of the analytical method for dithiocarbamate fungicide residues based on decomposition by hot mineral acids to the amine and carbon disulfide and colorimetric measurement of the carbon disulfide. Increased recoveries are obtained by the following modifications: adding a reducing agent (stannous chloride) to the sample before treatment with hot acid; svibstituting diluted sodium hydroxide for lead acetate solution to remove hydrogen sulfide and other interferences; and using boiling diluted hydrochloric acid. With these modifications, recoveries of N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamates from crops ranged from 85.3 to 103.8% (average 94.7%). Ethylenebisdithiocarbamates, with the exception of zineb (range 89.1–96.8%, average 92.0%), gave appreciably lower recoveries, indicating further study is necessary.

Abstract Hydrogen sulfide is formed when free sulfur is heated with fused benzoin. This is the basis of a new and sensitive test for free sulfur in mixtures with organic or inorganic substances. The heating is done in a test-tube, whose mouth carries lead acetate paper. The limit of identification is 0.5µ. Selenium does not interfere. Tests of a wide variety of commercial products gave satisfactory results.

ABSTRACTObjectiveHydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a gaseous signaling molecule and redox factor important for cardiovascular function. Deficiencies in its production or bioavailability are implicated in atherosclerotic disease. However, it is unknown if circulating H2S levels differ between vasculopaths and healthy individuals, and if so, whether H2S measurements can be used to predict surgical outcomes. Here, we examine: 1) Plasma H2S levels in patients undergoing vascular surgery and compare these to healthy controls, and 2) Associations between H2S levels and mortality in surgical revascularization patients.Approach & ResultsPatients undergoing carotid endarterectomy, open lower extremity revascularization or leg amputation were enrolled. Peripheral blood was also collected from a matched cohort of 20 patients without peripheral or coronary artery disease. Plasma H2S production capacity and sulfide concentration were measured using the lead acetate and monobromobimane methods, respectively. Plasma H2S production capacity and plasma sulfide concentrations were reduced in patients with PAD (p<0.001, p=0.013 respectively). Patients that underwent surgical revascularization were divided into high versus low H2S production capacity groups by median split. Patients in the low H2S production group had increased probability of mortality (p=0.003). This association was robust to correction for potentially confounding variables using Cox proportional hazard models.ConclusionsCirculating H2S levels were lower in patients with atherosclerotic disease. Patients undergoing surgical revascularization with lower H2S production capacity, but not sulfide concentrations, had increased probability of mortality within 36 months post-surgery. This work provides insight on the role H2S plays as a diagnostic and potential therapeutic for cardiovascular disease.HIGHLIGHTSVascular disease patients have higher plasma hydrogen sulfide levels than controls without vascular disease as measured by two distinct methods, the lead acetate hydrogen sulfide release method and the HPLC-based monobromobimane method.Only the lead acetate hydrogen sulfide release method robustly predicts survival after vascular surgery intervention over 35 months of follow up.The lead acetate release method measures non-enzymatic hydrogen sulfide release from plasma which requires iron and is catalyzed by vitamin B6.
