[A role of ultrasound in radiotherapy of metastatic bone tumors].

The efficacy of ultrasonography was evaluated in radiotherapy for 32 patients with 82 metastatic bone tumor regions. Except for vertebral columns, ultrasonography was useful to detect metastatic bone tumors. Ultrasonography was applied to the radiotherapy planning in 21 regions, and was useful for the evaluation of radiotherapy effects in 22 regions. An appearance of "anechoic band" was useful for estimating tumor localization, and may be useful for the determination of the adequate dosage for palliative irradiation. Ultrasonography enable accurate localization of tumors such as sternal or costal metastases that are difficult by fluoroscopy. This means should be executed by radiotherapists.

Capillary gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric determination of acid herbicides in soils and sediments.

A capillary gas chromatographic method with selected-ion monitoring (GC-SIM) was applied to eight common herbicides: 2-(4-chloro-o-tolyl-oxy)propionic acid, 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid, 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, 2,3,6-trichlorobenzoic acid, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyloxy-acetic acid, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid and alpha-(2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxy) butyric acid. The method involves extraction with saturated calcium hydroxide solution, esterification with pentafluorobenzyl bromide, clean-up with a silica gel column and determination by capillary GC-SIM. Recoveries from soil and sediment are over 89% (with the exception of 77% for TBA) with coefficients of variation below 5% (n = 7). The method is suitable for the simultaneous determination of the eight herbicides in environmental samples with high sensitivity and accuracy.

Capillary gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric determination of pyridine bases in environmental samples.

A method is described for the determination of pyridine bases in environmental samples such as river water and bottom sediments. After distillation from environmental samples, the pyridine bases are concentrated on a rotary evaporator, extracted with n-hexane and determined by capillary gas chromatography-selected-ion monitoring (GC-SIM). The determination of twenty pyridine bases is possible using a 15 m X 0.53 mm I.D. capillary column coated with DBWAX (equivalent to PEG 20M) followed by SIM. The detection limits were 0.01-0.1 ng and recoveries from river water and bottom sediment were over 90% with coefficients of variation below 4% (n = 7) except for pyridine. This method is capable of the simultaneous determination of twenty pyridine bases with sufficient sensitivity and accuracy to be applicable to environmental samples.
