[Clinical and morphological comparisons in pulmonary tuberculosis in workers from pneumoconiosis-risk industries].

The relationship between the efficiency of treatment and the nature of morphological changes in the lung was studied in 125 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis without X-ray signs of pneumoconiosis who worked at coniosis-risk enterprises (CRR). Despite adequate specific and pathogenetic therapy, tuberculomas formed and decay cavities preserved in the patients, in this connection they had surgical treatment. Three types of morphological changes were identified. Quartz-containing industrial dust was found to exert an adverse potentiating effect on the course of tuberculosis in most CRE patients: increases in the delimiting a specific process of respiratory disorders and postoperative complications. These specific features should be borne in mind in drawing up a treatment protocol for patients working exposed to industrial dust.

Quantification and prediction of the detoxifying properties of humic substances related to their chemical binding to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Effects of 27 different humic materials on the toxicity of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) were studied for crustacean Daphnia magna. Sources included isolated humic acids, fulvic acids, and their combination from soil, peat, and freshwater. The PAH used were pyrene, fluoranthene, and anthracene. The observed reduction in toxicity of PAH in the presence of humic substances (HS) was shown to be a result of the detoxification effect caused by the chemical binding of PAH to HS and of the direct effect of HS on D. magna. An approach was developed to quantify the detoxifying impact of humic materials related to their chemical binding to PAH with a use of the "constant of detoxification" or "toxicological partition coefficient" K(oc)D. The latter was proposed to determine by fitting the experimental relationships of the detoxification effect versus concentration of HS. The obtained K(oc)D values were well tracked by the corresponding partition coefficients determined by the fluorescence quenching technique (K(oc)fq): K(oc)D=b x K(oc)fq, b (mean+/-Cl, n=26, P=95%)=2.6+/-0.3, 4.6+/-0.6, and 6.0+/-1.4 for pyrene, fluoranthene, and anthracene, respectively. The predictive relationships between the structure and detoxifying properties of humic materials in relation to PAH were developed. It was shown that the magnitude of the K(oc)D values correlated closely with the aromaticity of humic materials characterized with the 13C NMR descriptors (sigma(C)Ar, sigma(C)Ar/sigma(C)Alk) and atomic H/C ratio. The obtained relationships showed the highest detoxifying potential of the humic materials enriched with aromatics and allowed a conclusion on the chemical binding as the governing mechanism of the mitigating action of HS on the toxicity of PAH.

Quantitative and qualitative precision improvements by effective mobility-scale data transformation in capillary electrophoresis analysis.

By transforming the time-based x-axis of electropherograms in capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) into the corresponding effective mobility-scale, we propose a simple and robust data representation for a better qualitative and quantitative capillary electrophoresis (CE) analysis. The time scale of the raw electrophoretic data (detection signal versus time) is transformed into an effective electrophoretic mobility scale (mu eff-scale) with account of the electroosmotic flow (EOF) peak or of an internal standard of known effective mobility. With the new scaling (detection signals versus effective mobility), the obtained electropherograms are more representative of the velocity-based electrophoretic separation and the comparison of complete electropherograms is directly possible. This is of importance when tracking peaks in real samples where alteration in EOF stability can occur or when comparing electrophoretic runs from different experimental setups (independence in column length and voltage). Beside the qualitative possibilities, a quantitative improvement is achieved in the mu eff-scale with significant better peak area reproducibility and equal to more precision in quantitative analysis than with the primary time-scale integration.

[Isolation and characterization of humin-like substances produced by wood-degrading fungi causing white rot].

Three samples of high-molecular-weight humin-like substances were obtained by solid-phase cultivation of Coriolus hirsutus and/or Cerrena maxima on oat straw. The yield of humin-like substances amounted to 1.38-2.26% of the weight of the plant substrate consumed. These substances, produced both by individual and mixed cultures of the basidiomycetes, were shown to be similar in their structure and physicochemical properties. According to the data of IR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, the substances contained aromatic fragments and were close to soil humic acids. Studies of the dynamics of laccase production suggested that the humin-like substances were produced bia direct degradation of lignin macromolecules with direct involvement of extracellular laccase.
