Determination of pyrroloquinoline quinone by capillary zone electrophoresis.

A new method for the determination of pyrroloquinoline quinone by capillary zone electrophoresis has been developed. Separation conditions have been optimised with the respect to different parameters including pH and ionic strength of the background electrolyte, separation voltage and temperature of the capillary. A buffer consisting of 50 mM beta-alanine-HCl pH 3.0 was found to be the most suitable electrolyte for this separation. An applied voltage of 25 kV (negative polarity) and a temperature of 25 degrees C gave the best analysis of pyrroloquinoline quinone. The linear detection range for concentration versus peak area for the assay is from 5 to 500 microM (correlation coefficient 0.9998) with a detection limit of 0.1-0.2 microM. The inter-day reproducibility of the peak area was 2.5% and the inter-day reproducibility of the migration time was below 0.18%.

[History of the Surgery Clinic at the Slovak University Medical School in Bratislava during the war years (1941-1945)].

The aim of the present study was to contribute to a good and objective understanding of the development of the Department of Surgery of the Medical School in Bratislava over the war years of 1941-1945. After Prof. MUDr. Kostlivý had left Slovakia, his student, Prof. MUDr. Konstantín Cársky was appointed head of the Clinic of Surgery, as it was officially named. Already during the period of World War II, Prof. Cársky became a remarkable and reknown personality of the School of Medicine of the Slovak University in Bratislava. The first Slovak school of surgery developed under his guidance. On the basis of archival sources and documents, the paper presents statistical data concerning some aspects of the pedagogical activities of the Clinic of Surgery, its staffing, and the complicated process of competence growth, particularly appointments to the highest academic ranks.

[Pregnancy and obesity. II. Hormonal and metabolic changes].

28 obese women were investigated in the course of the 21st (A) and 30th (B) week of pregnancy. Increased serum levels of GH, T4 and T3 were found in both samples of blood (A and B), while serum insulin, cholesterol and triacylglycerols were increased only at time B. It was suggested that the similar increase of GH, T4 and T3 at time A and B was due to pregnancy because the level of these hormones is usually not increased in non-pregnant obese women, while hyperinsulinemia and often increased values of cholesterol and triacylglycerols are a common finding in non-pregnant obesity. This presumption was confirmed only partially--body weight and the skin folds correlated only with insulin and T3, while GH, cortisol, T4, cholesterol and triacylglycerols correlated only exceptionally. High levels of insulin and T3 may be due to overeating.
