    Notes: Abstract A compound was isolated from the urine of workers exposed to carbon disulfide during the production of rayon. The compound was identified as 2-thiothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (TTCA) by GC/MS and NMR. A HPLC method for the quantitative determination of TTCA was elaborated and applied to urine samples. The method allowed detection of TTCA concentrations in urine as low as 5 × 10−7 M. No TTCA was detected in urine of workers occupationally exposed to organic solvents other than CS2. High concentrations of TTCA (upto 32×10−5 M) were shown to be present in urine of spinners exposed to CS2 concentrations of approximately 100 mg/m3. It is suggested that the assay of urinary TTCA is suitable for detection of occupational exposure to CS2.

    Notes: Abstract The effects of ethanol-feeding to rats, over a 6-week period, on the activation of genotoxic compounds of different chemical classes, requiring metabolic conversion to exert their mutagenic activity, were studied in isolated rat hepatocytes. The influence of such treatment on cytochrome P-450 content and N-acetylation in isolated hepatocytes was also investigated. Benzidine (BZ), dimethylnitrosamine (DMN), diethylnitrosamine (DEN), isoniazid (INH) and cyclophosphamide (CP) were more effectively activated to products mutagenic towards Salmonella typhimurium by hepatocytes from ethanol-pretreated rats than by hepatocytes from controls. The mutagenic potency of 2-aminofluorene (2-AF) and 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF) was not influenced by ethanol pretreatment. Ethanol consumption was found to be associated with increased cytochrome P-450 content and enhanced N-acetylation in the isolated hepatocytes. Our results support the hypothesis that an alteration of the hepatic drug-metabolizing system may be responsible for the ethanol-induced increase in susceptibility to certain genotoxic compounds.

    On the patterns of biomass transfer in the benthic fauna of an amazonian black-water river, as evidenced by 32P label experiment (1991)

    Notes: Abstract Leaf litter colonised by aquatic decomposition fungi was labelled with Na2H32PO4 and placed in a submerged litter bank in the Central Amazonian river Tarumã-Mirim. Of a total of 540 animals subsequently collected and analysed, 17% were definitely labelled. The phase-spatial pattern of label indicated that most species, notably fish and shrimps, were territorial with a radius of movement rarely exceeding 1 m; while chironomids and other microfauna are virtually stationary. From the distribution of labelled individuals within the litter bank and the gradual buildup of label it seems the fish feed within the same small area over periods of several weeks. The appearance of label in the shrimps was more erratic. The 32P appeared to be firmly retained within the living cells throughout the experiment and passed via the foodchains previously established by analysis of gut contents. The observed predator/prey density and foraging pattern have important implications for competition theory and the maintainance of species richness.
