Alternating Layers Of Iron(iii) Tetra(n-methyl-4-pyridyl) -porphyrin And Copper Tetrasulfonated Phthalocyanine For Amperometric Detection Of 4-nitrophenol In Nanomolar Levels

The present work describes the development of a highly sensitive amperometric sensor for 4-NP in nanomolar levels using a glassy carbon electrode modified with alternating layers of CuTSPc and FeT4MPyP. After optimizing the operational conditions, the sensor provided a linear response range for 4-NP from 5 up to 100 nmol L-1 with sensitivity, detection, and quantification limits of 14 nA L nmol-1, 1.9 nmol L-1, and 5.4 nmol L-1, respectively. The proposed sensor showed a stable response for at least 200 successive determinations. This modified electrode can be used to the determination of 4-NP in water samples. © 2008 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Determination of serum aluminum, platelet aggregation and lipid peroxidation in hemodialyzed patients

Aluminum (Al3+) overload is frequently associated with lipid peroxidation and neurological disorders. Aluminum accumulation is also reported to be related to renal impairment, anemia and other clinical complications in hemodialysis patients. The aim of the present study was to determine the degree of lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation and serum aluminum in patients receiving regular hemodialytic treatment. The level of plasma lipid peroxidation was evaluated on the basis of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Mean platelet peroxidation in patients undergoing hemodialysis was significantly higher than in normal controls (2.7 ± 0.03 vs 1.8 ± 0.06 nmol/l, P<0.05). Platelet aggregation and serum aluminum levels were determined by a turbidimetric method and atomic absorption spectrophotometry, respectively. Serum aluminum was significantly higher in patients than in normal controls (44.5 ± 29 vs 10.8 ± 2.5 µg/l, P<0.05). Human blood platelets were stimulated with collagen (2.2 µg/ml), adenosine diphosphate (6 µM) and epinephrine (6 µM) and showed reduced function with the three agonists utilized. No correlation between aluminum levels and platelet aggregation or between aluminum and peroxidation was observed in hemodialyzed patients
