A specific G. C. method for the determination of carbamazepine in blood.

Carbamazepine is extracted with dichloromethane from whole blood. After a rinsing procedure the residue is gaschromatographed partly in methanol, where two peaks occur, and partly in a methylating reagent, where the same two peaks are seen, the heights of these now being reversed. This reversal is used as a means of identification. Recovery was found to be 94 +/- 12 %. Blood analysis from 12 patients being treated with carbamazepine gave values from 0.6 - 6.5 mg/kg.     

A simple spectrophotometric method for the determination of carboxyhemoglobin in blood

The spectrophotometric method for the determination of carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) in blood reported by Fretwurst and Meinecke was modified so as to give the same values of percentage HbCO (HbCO%) as those determined by the oxygen electrode method. Values of HbCO% of nine practical samples determined by both the oxygen electrode method and the present method were nearly identical regardless of the presence of methemoglobin (Met-Hb) in blood. The present method is suitable for forensic practice.

A method for the quantitative determination of nitrites in gunshot residue cases

This paper describes a method for the quantitative determination of nitrites present in gunshot residues, using an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer routinely employed in colorimetric procedures. The method involves the quantitative formation of a chromophoric complex between the nitrites present in the extracted gunshot residue and the analytical reagents. The procedure has been found to be sensitive enough to detect sub-microgram quantities of nitrites in gunshot residues, and has been successfully employed in the determination of muzzle-to-target distances, a question asked often in forensic science cases.     

基于等位基因特异性PCR原理建立的SNP分型新方法

目的建立一种新方法,对多个单核苷酸多态性(singlenucleotidepolymorphism,SNP)位点进行分型。方法基于等位基因特异性PCR原理,采用荧光标记复合扩增和毛细管电泳技术,根据PCR片段长度差异进行分型。选择SNP位点共11个,每个SNP位点设计两条长度不同、3’末端分别与SNP两个等位基因碱基配对的上游引物,同时为了增加特异性,在两条等位基因上游引物的3’末端第3或第4位碱基人为引入错配。在距离上游引物100～300bp范围内的合适位置,设计下游共用引物,并进行荧光标记。所有位点经过复合扩增后,PCR产物经ABIPrismTM310型遗传分析仪电泳分离,确定每个SNP的基因型。结果每个SNP位点纯合子为单一产物峰,杂合子则为长度不同的两个产物峰。不同的SNP位点扩增产物长度不同,根据产物长度和产物峰的数量进行SNP分型,一次完成11个SNP位点分型,其结果与直接测序完全一致。结论荧光标记复合扩增片段长度差异等位基因特异性PCR法是一种简单快速而有效的SNP分型新方法。

A practical method for the accurate determination of methemoglobin in blood containing carboxyhemoglobin

Kinetics of the oxidation of carboxyhemoglobin (HbCO) by potassium ferricyanide was studied photometrically in a weakly acid solution. An increase in the absorbance at 630 nm reached a maximum within 10 min when over a 100-fold excess of ferricyanide to hemoglobin iron was used. A slight decrease in the absorbance was observed after completion of the reaction when over a 500-fold excess of the reagent was used. In the presence of 0.4% Sterox SE, the absorbance began to decrease without complete oxidation. From these findings, a simple, rapid and accurate method for the determination of methemoglobin (Met-Hb) in blood was devised. The method was compared with two other methods, using 11 blood samples containing various amounts of HbCO, and proved to be suitable for blood containing elevated HbCO as well as for ordinary blood.     

HPLC simultaneous determination of glycerol and mannitol in human tissues for forensic analysis

A method for simultaneous determination of glycerol and mannitol in various human tissues was devised and for this we used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Specimens were homogenized in a mixture of chloroform and methanol, phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) and pentaerythritol (IS) solution. After centrifugation, an aliquot of the aqueous layer was evaporated to dryness and derivatized with p-nitrobenzoyl chloride at 50 degrees C for 1h, then applied to HPLC with analytical conditions of: column, CAPCELL PAK C18 MG (250 mm x 3.0 mm i.d., 5 microm, Shiseido Co. Ltd., Tokyo, Japan); column temperature, 1-2 degrees C; mobile phase, 75% acetonitrile-distilled water containing 0.05% trifluoroacetic acid, 0.05% heptafluoro-n-butyric acid and 0.1% triethylamine; flow rate, 0.5 ml/min; wavelength, 260 nm. Calibration curves for both substances were linear in concentration ranges from 1 to 500 microg/0.1g and correlation coefficients exceeded 0.99. The relative standard deviation (R.S.D.) of the method was evaluated at concentrations of 10 and 100 microg/0.1g, and ranged from 0.84 to 10.6%. Using this method, we determined the regional distribution levels of glycerol and mannitol in various tissues from an autopsied brain dead man.

Miniaturized sample preparation method for determination of amphetamines in urine

A simple and miniaturized sample preparation method for determination of amphetamines in urine was developed using on-column derivatization and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Urine was directly applied to the extraction column that was pre-packed with Extrelut and sodium carbonate. Amphetamine (AP) and methamphetamine (MA) in urine were adsorbed on the surface of Extrelut. AP and MA were then converted to a free base and derivatized to N-propoxycarbonyl derivatives using propylchloroformate on the column. Pentadeuterated MA was used as an internal standard. The recoveries of AP and MA from urine were 100 and 102%, respectively. The calibration curves showed linearity in the range of 0.50-50 microg/mL for AP and MA in urine. When urine samples containing two different concentrations (0.50 and 5.0 microg/mL) of AP and MA were determined, the intra-day and inter-day coefficients of variation were 1.4-7.7%. This method was applied to 14 medico-legal cases of MA intoxication. The results were compared and a good agreement was obtained with a HPLC method.     

A method for the determination of syringe needle punctures in rubber stoppers using stereoscopic light microscopy

The ability to accurately determine the number of syringe needle penetration holes through the rubber stoppers in pharmaceutical vials and rubber septa in intravenous (i.v.) line and bag ports has been a critical factor in a number of forensic cases involving the thefts of controlled substances or suspected homicide by lethal injection. In the early 1990s, the microscopy and microanalysis group of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Forensic Chemistry Center (FCC) developed and implemented a method (unpublished) to locate needle punctures in rubber pharmaceutical vial stoppers. In 1996, as part of a multiple homicide investigation, the Indiana State Police Laboratory (ISPL) contacted the FCC for information on a method to identify and count syringe needle punctures through rubber stoppers in pharmaceutical vials. In a joint project and investigation using the FCC's needle hole location method and applying a method of puncture site mapping developed by the ISPL, a systematic method was developed to locate, identify, count, and map syringe punctures in rubber bottle stoppers or i.v. bag ports using microscopic analysis. The method requires documentation of punctures on both sides of the rubber stoppers and microscopic analysis of each suspect puncture site. The final result of an analysis using the method is a detailed diagram of puncture holes on both sides of a questioned stopper and a record of the minimum number of puncture holes through a stopper.     

A metric method for sex determination using the proximal femur and fragmentary hipbone

The pubic bone is considered one of the best sources of information for determining sex using skeletal remains, but can be easily damaged postmortem. This problem has led to the development of nonpelvic methods for cases when the pubic bone is too damaged for analysis. We approached this problem from a different perspective. In this article, we present an approach using new measurements and angles of the proximal femur to recreate the variation in the pubic bone. With a sample from the Terry Collection (n > 300), we use these new variables along with other traditional measurements of the femur and hipbone to develop two logistic regression equations (femur and fragmentary hipbone, and femur only) that are not population specific. Tests on an independent sample (Grant Collection; n = 37-40) with a different pattern of sexual dimorphism resulted in an allocation accuracy of 95-97% with minimal difference by sex.     

Simultaneous determination of thirteen beta-blockers and one metabolite by gradient high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode-array UV detection

A new rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the simultaneous identification and quantification in human plasma of the 13 most commonly prescribed beta-blockers and one active metabolite-atenolol, sotalol, diacetolol, carteolol, nadolol, pindolol, acebutolol, metoprolol, celiprolol, oxprenolol, labetalol, propranolol, tertatolol and betaxolol. It involves liquid-liquid extraction procedures followed by liquid chromatography coupled to photodiode-array UV detection with a fixed wavelength at 220 nm for quantification. Compounds were separated on a 5 microm Hypurity C(18) (ThermoHypersil) analytical column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, i.d.) using a gradient of acetonitrile-phosphate buffer pH 3.8 at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. The total analysis time was 26 min per sample. Extraction recoveries were between 74 and 113% for the polar compounds and between 20 and 56% for the most apolar compounds. Calibration lines were linear in the range from 25 to 1000 ng/ml for all compounds excepted carteolol and nadolol (50-1000 ng/ml), all of them with coefficients of determination (r2 values) >/=0.994. Limits of detection (LODs) ranged from 5 to 10 ng/ml. Intra-assay and inter-assay precision and accuracy were studied at two concentration levels (100 and 500 ng/ml). The intra-assay coefficients of variation (CVs) for all compounds were 相似文献
