Quantificação volumétrica da hiperplasia neointimal em artérias ilíacas após implante de suporte intravascular metálico

OBJETIVO: Quantificar a hiperplasia neointimal em artérias ilíacas após stent, correlacionando fatores clínicos, arteriais e materiais dos stents. MATERIAIS E MÉTODOS: De junho de 2003 a agosto de 2005, 60 pacientes realizaram angioplastia transluminal percutânea e stent. Desses, 30 foram reestudados com ultrassonografia intravascular. Os dados foram analisados no laboratório de análise quantitativa. RESULTA-DOS: Dezesseis pacientes eram do sexo masculino (53,3%) e 14 (46,7%), do sexo feminino. A média de idade foi de 60,3 anos. Apresentaram hipertensão arterial 22 pacientes (73,3%), tabagismo, 18 (62,1%), hiperlipidemia, 20 (66,7%), e diabetes, 9 (30%). Foram implantados 20 stents de nitinol (66,7%) e 10 de aço inoxidável (33,3%). Quatro pacientes eram TASC A (13,3%), 15 eram TASC B (50%) e 11, TASC C (36,7%). O volume da hiperplasia variou de 49,02 mm³ a 112,87 mm³ (média de 80,33 mm³). O percentual de obstrução intra-stent variou de 18% a 47% (média de 27,4%). Os resultados clínicos obtidos com stent se mantiveram até o reestudo. CONCLUSÃO: A hiperplasia neointimal sempre ocorre após a angioplastia transluminal percutânea e stent, porém os percentuais de obstrução não foram superiores a 50% em nenhum caso. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante dos percentuais de obstrução intra-stent quanto aos materiais dos stents, aos fatores clínicos e aos fatores arteriais.

Ultra-trace monitoring of copper in environmental and biological samples by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry after separation and preconcentration by using octadecyl silica membrane disks modified by a new schiff's base

Ultra-trace amounts of Cu(II) were separated and preconcentrated by solid phase extraction on octadecyl-bonded silica membrane disks modified with a new Schiff,s base (Bis- (2-Hydroxyacetophenone) -2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediimine) (SBTD) followed by elution and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometric detection. The method was applied as a separation and detection method for copper(II) in environmental and biological samples. Extraction efficiency and the influence of sample matrix, flow rate, pH, and type and minimum amount of stripping acid were investigated. The concentration factor and detection limit of the proposed method are 500 and 12.5 pg mL-1, respectively.

Avaliação da concentração de retinol em leite UHT ("Ultra High Temperature") comercializado em Natal, Rio Grande do Norte

Deficiency of micronutrients is a public health problem. Cow milk is a source of retinol. The objective of this study is to evaluate the retinol concentration in milk commercialized in Natal/RN. Ten samples were taken of each brand of UHT milk. Vitamin content was determined by HPLC using the Shimadzu LC-10 AD Chromatograph, coupled to the Shimadzu SPD 10 A UV-VIS Detector and the Shimadzu C-R6A Chromatopac Integrator with Shim-pack CLC-ODS (M) column, measuring 4.6 mm x 25 cm. The mobile phase was 100% methanol, with a flow of 1 mL/min. The mean retinol concentration varied between 22.7 ± 4.9 µg/100 mL and 44.1 ± 4.1 µg/100 mL, with the differences statistically significant (p<0.001). Only one of the 7 brands had retinol concentration below the normal requirements for human consumption.

O estado da arte da cromatografia líquida de ultra eficiência

Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC) retains the same principles as High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), but uses 1-2.1 mm i.d. columns with sub-2 µm particles. It is considered the newest advance in analytical separation science. The use of these small particles with mobile phases at high linear velocities increases resolution and detectability and decreases analysis time. Thus, the analyses are faster, the solvent volume is smaller, the efficiency is higher and the detectability is 2-3 times higher when compared with HPLC analysis.
