    Notes: Summary To investigate the influence of the mitochondrial aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) genotype on the clinical features of diabetes, 212 Japanese patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (154 males and 58 females aged 17–83 years; mean age 58.2 years) were investigated. Genotyping of ALDH2 was performed by the polymerase chain reaction — restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The pattern of inheritance of diabetes and various clinical parameters was compared between active and inactive ALDH2 groups. Of the 212 subjects, 120 had active ALDH2 and 92 had inactive ALDH2. The percentage of patients with a diabetic mother was higher in the inactive ALDH2 group (32.6%) than in the active ALDH2 group (19.2%) (p〈0.05). The prevalence of proliferative retinopathy was lower in the inactive ALDH2 group than in the active ALDH2 group (p〈0.05). However, other clinical parameters showed no difference. We conclude that maternal inheritance of diabetes was common in the inactive ALDH2 group. The finding is suggestive of a relationship between alcohol intolerance and inheritance of diabetes. We speculate that the interaction between mitochondrial DNA and ALDH2 inactivity causes an increase of mitochondrial DNA mutations or deletions, thereby inducing the maternal inheritance of diabetes. The relationship of the ALDH2 genotype with proliferative retinopathy is interesting, because it resembles that of chlorpropamide alcohol flushing with severe diabetic retinopathy. The interaction of aldehyde dehydrogenase isoenzymes might have an aetiological role, since aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 plays an important part in oxidation of retinal to retinoic acid. However, the number of affected patients with proliferative retinopathy was small, hence, our result should be considered as a preliminary finding.

    Notes: Summary A porous polymer resin loaded with hydrous zirconium oxide (Zr-gel) was evaluated as a stationary phase for the liquid chromatographic separation of disubstituted aromatic compounds. The prepared Zr-gel was used to separate disubstituted phenols andortho-substituted benzoic acid derivatives in reversed-phase mode. The retention time of catechol was greater than those of other disubstituted phenols; this implies that the Zr-gel has specificity for the phenolic hydroxyl group. The retention behavior ofortho-substituted benzoic acid derivatives on the Zr-gel was also evaluated in reversedphase mode using buffer. Phthalic acid was specifically retained in the vicinity of pH 6.0, which has been regarded as the equal adsorbic point. Similar behavior was also observed for salicylic acid, although the retention time of salicylic acid was less than that of phthalic acid. It seems that the specific retention behavior of hydrous zirconium oxide is a result of complexation with ligands such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. The results of this study have revealed that the retention mechanism of hydrous zirconium oxide is a combination of ion exchange and interaction based on complexation with ligands.

    Notes: Summary Silica gel loaded with hydrous zirconium oxide (Zr-gel-S) has been prepared and the influence of the base material on the retention behavior ofo-phthalic acid on the hydrous zirconium oxide was evaluated. The retention behavior of the acid on the Zr-gel-S was compared with that on Zr-gel-5, the polymer-based Zr-gel. Comparable retention behavior,i.e. maximum retention in the vicinity of pH 6, which has been regarded as the equal adsorbic point, was observed for both types of Zr-gel, although there was a large difference in the retention times. The difference in retention on the two types of Zr-gel could be ascribed to nature of the base material. The results in this experiments showed, however, that the specific behavior at pH 6 was an essential characteristic of hydrous zirconium oxide and was not related to the influence of the base materials.

    Notes: Summary The retention mechanism of anions and cations on a mixed-bed column packed with a mixture of strong anion and cation exchange resins has been studied. Organic acids and inorganic anions have showed the same elution behaviour on the mixed-bed column as on a single anion exchange column. In contrast, different elution behaviours for cations have been observed between the mixed-bed column and a single cation exchange column. On the mixed-bed column, cations would be eluted by a mixed retention mechanism. The primary retention mechanism is ion exchange with eluent cation (H+) for all cations. The ion exchange mechanism on the sites occupied by anion exchange groups makes a greater contribution for monovalent cations. A partition mechanism between the stationary phase and mobile phase contributes to the separation of Mg2+ and Ca2+ by forming neutral compounds.
