Objectives: the aim of this work was to define the range of possible values for each isotope of carbon-13 and nitrogen-15 for cocaine and marijuana seized in Botucatu-SP, with the intention of distinguishing the geographical origin of the drug. Materials and Methods: samples of marijuana and cocaine were collected at the time of incineration. Then, at the Stable Isotope Center from São Paulo State University in Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil, samples of marijuana were subjected to the drying process and subsequent grinding. Samples of cocaine were not submitted to the processes of drying and grinding because they were already in adequate granulometry. Subsequently, the samples of both drugs were weighed in accordance with the standards for carbon-13 and nitrogen-15. Lastly, CO2 and N2 gases were obtained from the samples through the elemental analyzer. They were then analyzed in a mass spectrometer to obtain values of δ13C and δ15N in ‰. Results and Discussion: the results of marijuana allowed for comparison with regions of Queensland, Australia, according to the range of δ13C between -29.9 ‰ and -29.3 ‰ and δ15N range from 4.1 ‰ to 5.8 ‰. The results were also consistent with those of the state of Pará, Brazil, where the values of δ13C and δ15N were -30.3 ± 0.7 ‰ and 5.0 ± 1.3 ‰, respectively. Also the results were in accordance with those from the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, in which δ13C values varied by -28.7 ± 1.3 ‰, and δ15N values varied by 6.6 ± 1.1 ‰, respectively. In both regions, the samples identified as being from Pará and Mato Grosso do Sul showed an overlap. In addition, the results fitted with data from the state of Maranhão, in which the values of δ13C and δ15 N were -28.8 ± 1.6 ‰ and 2.9 ± 2.5 ‰, respectively. In the case of cocaine, the present study could not be related to the results from the literature. One possible explanation may be related to the non-purification of ...

A study was conducted to determine the optimal time for collecting the breath examination urea breath marked with the stable isotope 13C. We selected patients before undergoing the examination of endoscopy at the Endoscopy Section of the University Hospital of Botucatu - SP. A screening was performed to determine which patients wanted and could participate. Before performing endoscopy basal sample was collected from the patient and then the labeled urea ingested. The blows were collected in double every 2.5 minutes until an interval of 30.0 minutes after were collected every 5.0 minutes until the time of 45.0 minutes . The samples were analyzed in a mass spectrometer for isotope ratio, located in the center of Stable Isotopes, Institute of Biosciences, UNESP - Botucatu campus. The data were studied and arranged in the form of graphics to better interpretation of results. Based on the obtained results it was determined that a standby time of 15.0 minutes to collect the wind is sufficient for accurate diagnosis and effective

A análise das razões de isótopos estáveis de carbono (δ13C) e nitrogênio (δ15N) vem sendo utilizada para identificar as fontes primárias de carbono dos ecossistemas e traçar as interações tróficas entre seus componentes. Nesse contexto, a variabilidade espacial e temporal da trama trófica bentônica da Baía de Santos e da plataforma continental interna e média, ao largo da costa sul do estado de São Paulo, Brasil (23,9-24,5°S), foi investigada durante o inverno de 2005 e o verão de 2006. A matéria orgânica particulada em suspensão (MOPS), zooplâncton, macroalgas, vegetais terrestres (C3), sedimento e 21 categorias de consumidores bentônicos foram analisados. Segundo os valores de δ13C, a MOPS foi a principal fonte primária de matéria orgânica. A análise de regressão entre os valores médios de δ15N e δ13C indicou, no inverno, semelhanças nas assinaturas isotópicas dos consumidores bentônicos entre a plataforma interna e média e diferenças entre essas e as da baía. Por outro lado, no verão, foram observadas diferenças nessas assinaturas entre a baía, a plataforma interna e a média. Os valores de 13C dos consumidores decresceram do ambiente costeiro em direção à plataforma média, enquanto os de 15N aumentaram. Em relação ao δ13C, houve diferença da MOPS, possivelmente pela contribuição de produção primária nova (PPN) ou do microfitobentos no verão. Quanto ao δ15N, o enriquecimento da mesma categoria trófica no gradiente ambiental pode ser devido às diferenças na MOPS, resultante da PPN na plataforma interna no verão, decorrente da entrada da Água Central do Atlântico Sul (ACAS), que enriquece a água oligotrófica nessa área
