Study on the use of oxidant scrubbers for elimination of interferences due to nitrogen dioxide in analysis of atmospheric dimethylsulfide

Neste trabalho foi avaliado o desempenho de filtros para dióxido de nitrogênio, buscando evitar perdas durante a amostragem de sulfetos orgânicos, provocadas por oxidantes atmosféricos. Diferentes compostos e misturas foram usadas para recobrir superfícies sólidas empregadas na preparação destes filtros. Um sistema automatizado de análise em fluxo foi utilizado para comparar a eficiência de retenção de dióxido de nitrogênio pelos filtros. Entre os materiais testados na preparação dos filtros, as melhores escolhas foram papel ou lã de vidro impregnados com a mistura de sulfato de ferro (II), ácido sulfúrico e ácido pirogalico e ainda os filtros feitos de papel impregnados com trietanolamina. Os resultados obtidos em laboratório com mistura de gás padrão de dimetilsulfeto e experimentos em campo confirmaram a qualidade dos filtros e indicaram que eles podem ser utilizados para evitar a oxidação de sulfetos orgânicos durante a sua amostragem.

Circulating leukocyte heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and oxidative stress markers in rats after a bout of exhaustive exercise

A novel method to measure oxidative stress resulting from exhaustive exercise in rats is presented. In this new procedure we evaluated the erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes, catalase ( CAT) and glutathione reductase (GR), the plasma oxidative attack markers, reactive carbonyl derivatives (RCD) and thiobarbituric reactive substances (TBARS). Muscular tissue damage was evaluated by monitoring plasma creatine kinase (CK) and plasma taurine ( Tau) concentrations. Also, we monitored total sulphydryl groups (TSG) and uric acid (UA), and the level of the 70 kDa heat shock protein (HSP70) in leukocytes as a marker of oxidative stress. In the study we found a correspondence between erythrocyte CAT and GR activities and leukocyte HSP70 levels, principally 3 h after the acute exercise, and this suggested an integrated mechanism of antioxidant defense. The increase in levels of plasma Tau was coincident with the increasing plasma levels of CK and TBARS, principally after two hours of exercise. Thus tissue damage occurred before the expression of any anti-oxidant system markers and the monitoring of Tau, CK or TBARS may be important for the estimation of oxidative stress during exhaustive exercise. Furthermore, the integrated analyses could be of value in a clinical setting to quantify the extent of oxidative stress risk and reduce the need to perform muscle biopsies as a tool of clinical evaluation.
