In situ ion microprobe analyses of oxygen isotopes in Yamato-86009 and Murchison chondrites show that they contain abundant olivine-rich inclusions that have large oxygen-16 (16O) excesses, similar to those in spinel grains in calcium-aluminium-rich inclusions in Allende and other carbonaceous chondrites. The existence of 16O-enriched olivine-rich inclusions suggests that oxygen isotopic anomalies were more extensive in the early solar system than was previously thought and that their origin may be attributed to a nebular chemical process rather than to an unidentified 16O-rich carrier of presolar origin.
Clinical and experimental studies have demonstrated the neurotoxicity of aluminium (Al), notably as a result of lipid peroxidation in vitro. We previously showed that Al is able to cross the blood-brain barrier as an L-glutamate complex and be deposited in rat brain. The present work in young mature rats investigated the in vivo effects of chronic Al-L-glutamate treatment on Al and iron movement in plasma and selected brain regions. Brain lipid peroxidation was determined by evaluating the production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) and analysing polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as C20:4n-6 and C22:6n-3. Our results indicate that iron concentration was decreased in plasma and that Al accumulated especially in striatum where iron levels were decreased and in the hippocampus where TBARS were increased without PUFA modifications. These data show that Al administered chronically as an L-glutamate complex is neurotoxic in vivo and thus provides a good model for studying Al toxic mechanisms.
Surface acoustic wave devices (SAWs) based on horizontally polarized shear waves can be used as mass-sensitive immunosensors. If the standard material, aluminium, is used for the interdigital transducers (IDTs) of these devices a pretreatment with a shielding layer of polyimide is necessary to prevent corrosion processes. However, this layer also prevents an easy covalent attachment of the necessary receptive molecules. Therefore, we developed a new activation method of this inert polyimide surface by treating with cyanogenbromide using the established cyano-transfer-technique. With a subsequent covalent attachment of anti-glucose oxidase (anti-GOD) a very sensitive SAW-immunosensor for glucose oxidase (GOD) can be obtained.
