Self-concept and sociometric outcomes: a comparison of only children and sibling children from urban and rural areas in the People's Republic of China.

We investigated differences in self-concept between 360 only children and 555 sibling children in the sixth grade of three urban schools and three rural schools in the People's Republic of China. Peer perceptions and teacher perceptions were also collected using sociometric measures. Self-concept was determined by the Self-Perception Profile for Children (Harter, 1985). Comparisons of sibling children and only children showed no differences on self-concept; however, urban residents had higher self-concept scores than children from rural areas, and boys scored higher than girls. No significant interaction effects between sibling status, gender, and residence were found.

Bile acids. LXXII. High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of bile acid coenzyme A derivatives.

The mobilities of coenzyme A and coenzyme A derivatives of cholate, chenodeoxycholate, deoxycholate, lithocholate, and their 5 alpha analogs were studied in reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. With a C18 Radial-PAK A cartridge (10-micron particles) and a solvent mixture of 2-propanol/10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0, 140:360), separation of the chenodeoxycholyl and deoxycholyl coenzyme A derivatives was not observed. An increase in ionic strength of the buffer to 50 mM afforded separation, which was markedly augmented with a C18 Radial-PAK A cartridge with 5-micron particles. Lowering the pH of the buffer to 5.5 did not materially change the separations regardless of the ionic strength. Quantitation was carried out to a lower level of 8.5 X 10(-12) mol.
