    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: Constipation is a common complaint among geriatric patients and may result in significant morbidity, especially among nursing home residents. The prevalence of constipation increases with advancing age and may be a result of the aging process, but the exact cause is unknown. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of constipation and to determine risk factors for the development of constipation in a large population of nursing home residents. METHODS: The Minimum Data Set is an assessment instrument used in nearly all Medicare-certified and Medicaid-certified nursing facilities. Nursing home residents who were at least 65 years of age and who had assessments at baseline and at three months were included in the study (N = 21,012). Baseline risk factors were included in a multivariate logistic regression to determine their association with the development of constipation. To allow causal implications, nursing home residents with constipation at baseline were excluded. The variables examined included medications, mobility, comorbid illness, and nutrition. RESULTS: The mean age (± standard deviation) of nursing home residents was 83±8 years, and the population was 70 percent female and 83 percent white. At baseline, the prevalence of constipation was 12.5 percent (N=2,627). By the three-month assessment, 7 percent (N=1,291) of nursing home residents had developed constipation. The factors associated independently with the development of constipation were, in order of magnitude, race, decreased fluid intake, pneumonia, Parkinson's disease, and the presence of allergies. Congestive heart failure and the use of a feeding tube were two factors identified as having a protective effect. CONCLUSION: The variables associated with the development of constipation may be used to identify geriatric nursing home residents at risk and to prevent constipation and its potential complications. Further study is needed to demonstrate a causal relationship between the risk factors and the development of constipation.

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: The study was undertaken to determine whether idiopathic fecal incontinence in middle-aged and elderly females is likely to be a result of pudendal nerve damage (neurogenic incontinence) or merely a consequence of aging. METHODS: One hundred seventy-eight females over the age of 50 years with fecal incontinence were studied. The incontinence was classified as idiopathic because none of the patients related the incontinence to trauma (including obstetric trauma) or other events or diseases. All had an anal physiology examination, including determination of nerve conduction velocity of both pudendal nerves (pudendal nerve terminal motor latency). RESULTS: With a cutoff value of 2.4 msec, 79 percent (95 percent confidence limit, 73–85) had normal pudendal nerve terminal motor latency on both sides, 13 bilaterally prolonged latency (7 percent; 4–11), and 25 unilaterally prolonged latency (14 percent; 9–19). With a cutoff value of 2.2 msec, 66 percent (59–73) had normal latency on both sides, 15 percent (9–20) bilaterally prolonged pudendal nerve terminal motor latency, and 20 percent (14–26) unilateral prolongation. No relationship between the groups with normal, bilateral, or unilateral prolongation of pudendal nerve terminal motor latency and anal resting and squeeze pressure was found. Anal resting pressure decreased with increasing age (P〈0.05). CONCLUSION: Our data support the view that idiopathic fecal incontinence in the majority of females is likely to be a result of the aging process and that only a limited number may suffer from anal incontinence of neurogenic origin. Furthermore, unilateral prolongation of pudendal nerve terminal motor latency probably is without clinical significance.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Background: The maximum number of cell divisions of a certain cell population is genetically fixed so that aging cells become non-dividing (senescent) at least. This replicative life span, also known as “hayflick limit”, is probably defined by a “critical” length of the telomeres. Telomeres are special DNA-sequences located at the four ends of the chromosomes which are shortened with each cell cycle. Cells of most, but not all malignant tumours have been shown to reactivate the enzyme telomerase so that telomeres can be reconstructed, “Hayflick limit” can be overcome, and unlimited cell division can be established. This study was undertaken to elucidate whether telomerase reactivation is used by uveal melanoma cells. Materials and Methods: Fresh tumour tissue was removed from 10 untreated uveal melanomas after enucleation. Telomerase activity was determined using a PCR ELISA according to the Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol (TRAP). Normal tissue of the skin and the conjunctiva served as control. Result: Telomerase activity was detectable in 90% of the investigated uveal melanomas. All control specimens were telomerase negative. Conclusions: Uveal melanoma growth seems to depend on telomerase reactivation. Thus, telomerase inhibition could offer a new principle for uveal melanoma therapy in the future.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Hintergrund: Nach einer für jede Zellpopulation genetisch fixierten Zahl von Teilungen treten Zellen als Ausdruck der Alterung in ein Stadium der Teilungsunfähigkeit (Seneszenz) ein. Die als “Hayflick-Grenze” bezeichnete replikative Lebensspanne ist wahrscheinlich dann erreicht, wenn die Telomeren – hierbei handelt es sich um spezielle DNS-Abschnitte an den 4 Chromosomenenden, die bei jeder Zellteilung verkürzt werden – eine “kritische” Länge unterschreiten. Zellen der meisten, wenngleich nicht aller maligner Tumoren reaktivieren das Enzym Telomerase. Sie können damit die Telomeren neu aufbauen, die “Hayflick-Grenze”überwinden und unbegrenzte Teilungsfähigkeit herstellen. Mit den vorliegenden Untersuchungen sollte überprüft werden, ob Telomerase- Aktivierung auch für das Wachstum uvealer Melanome eine Rolle spielt. Material und Methoden: Von 10 unbehandelten Aderhautmelanomen wurde nach Enukleation Tumorgewebe entnommen. Die Bestimmung der Telomeraseaktivität erfolgte mit einem PCR ELISA nach dem Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol (TRAP). Als Kontrolle diente normales Gewebe von Haut und Bindehaut. Ergebnis: Bei 90% der untersuchten Aderhautmelanome war eine deutliche Telomeraseaktivität feststellbar. Alle Kontrollproben erwiesen sich als Telomerase-negativ. Schlussfolgerungen: Telomerase wird von den meisten uvealen Melanomen aktiviert und scheint daher für das Tumorwachstum von Bedeutung zu sein. Die Hemmung der Telomerase stellt daher auch für Aderhautmelanome ein (noch theoretisches) Behandlungsprinzip dar.

    Notes: Abstract  Although the overexpression of cyclin D1 has been believed to play important roles in neoplastic transformation of some tumors, little is known about the function of cyclin D1 protein in carcinogenesis in human skin. A total of 307 patients with nonmelanocytic skin cancer, being 46 with Bowen’s disease (BOD), 134 with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and 127 with basal cell carcinoma (BCC), were investigated immunohistochemically using monoclonal antibody to cyclin D1 by the LSAB method, to assess the expression of cyclin D1 in skin cancer including its precursors. The positive rates of cyclin D1 immunostaining in BOD, SCC and BCC were 63.0%, 69.4% and 54.3%, respectively. The positive rates in dysplasia adjoining BOD, SCC and BCC were 43.6%, 67.9% and 59.8%, respectively. In morphologically normal skin, however, only 2 cases, 1 of SCC and 1 of BCC, exhibited positive staining. These findings suggested that overexpression of cyclin D1 is an early event in dysplastic lesions of skin. Overexpression of cyclin D1 was related to sun exposure, especially in dysplasia of SCC. The score for cyclin D1 expression in dysplasia of BCC was correlated with age. Expression of cyclin D1 markedly increased from normal skin through dysplasia to BOD, but was not significantly related to the degree of SCC differentiation. These findings demonstrate that the effect of cyclin D1 overexpression is restricted to proliferation of cells, so that they gain a growth advantage, but their differentiation is not increased. Comparison with the results for p53 protein expression in these tumors, a significant correlation with cyclin D1 expression was found in dysplasia in BOD and SCC, and in patients with BCC who were less than 74 years old. These findings suggested the hypothesis that prior aberrant p53 expression may affect or regulate the overexpression of cyclin D1.

    Effect of aging on bladder function and the response to outlet obstruction in female rats (2000)

    Notes: Abstract Bladder dysfunction in the aging population is a significant problem. However the concomitant presence of other diseases in many patients can make it difficult to distinguish between changes in bladder function and other influences. The present study was designed to study, in aging rats, bladder function and the effect of partial bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) on bladder function. Cystometrics were performed in awake, female Fischer 344 rats of four age groups (6, 12, 18 and 24 months) following subcutaneous implantation of a mediport catheter. Cystometric evaluations were carried out in control rats or those subject to three weeks of BOO. Bladder compliance significantly decreased with aging, which reflected an increase in threshold pressure without changes in bladder capacity. Partial BOO caused development of severe bladder instability. Following BOO, bladder capacity and compliance were significantly increased in all age groups. Threshold pressure was lower in obstructed animals, except for 6-month rats. Younger animals were able to generate a higher contraction pressure to compensate for the BOO, whereas older animals did not. Using an awake model of cystometric measurement, we have demonstrated that aging, by itself can affect bladder function. Furthermore, aged animals respond differently to BOO than younger animals. These results demonstrate that both aging and disease can contribute to bladder dysfunction, and suggest that treatment of bladder dysfunction may require a combination of therapies targeted to multiple etiologies.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary With increasing age of an organism, the osseous regenerative potential is reduced. In osteoblast-like cell cultures, cells of older donors that would not proliferate under standard conditions start to proliferate and express a differentiated phenotype when supplemented with the supernatant of fetal osteoblast-like cultures. The aim of this study was an evaluation of the fetal supernatant actions in vivo. Rat calvaria-derived osteoblasts of fetal and 21-day-old donors were isolated enzymatically and cultured. Their osteoblastic phenotype was confirmed by the expression of typical osteoblast synthesis products. The supernatant of the cultures of each age group was collected and pooled. The supernatant was purified by HPLC and concentrated approximately ten times. Additionally, several age-dependent differences within the purified protein fractions were documented by MALDI. After resuspension, the purified supernatant proteins were transferred on a collagen carrier and implanted into critical size defects of the calvaria of adult Wistar rats. In a control group, the collagen carriers were implanted containing isotonic salt solution. After 2, 4, and 8 weeks, a radiographic and histologic analysis of the regeneration process was performed which revealed differences in the progress of mineralization. The methods used in this study might help to identify age-dependent differences regarding the osteoblastic synthesis of osteoanabolic peptides and their impact on the regeneration of osseous defects.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Mit zunehmenden Alter eines Organismus nimmt das knöcherne Regenerationspotenzial ab. Auch Osteoblasten in vitro zeigen mit zunehmendem Alter ein verändertes Wachstumsverhalten. Osteoblastenkulturen älterer Donoren, welche unter Standardbedingungen kein Wachstum zeigen, können jedoch durch Supplementation mit dem Mediumüberstand serumfrei inkubierter Osteoblastenkulturen fetalen Ursprungs zu einem ¶mit jüngeren Kulturen vergleichbaren Wachstum angeregt werden. Ziel dieser Arbeit war die In-vivo-Überprüfung dieses vom Donorenalter abhängigen In-vitro-Effekts. Dazu wurden von fetalen und postnatalen Rattenschädeln durch enzymatische Inkubation Osteoblastenkulturen etabliert und durch RT-PCR von Kollagen Typ I und Osteocalcin phänotypisch dokumentiert. Die Kulturüberstände wurden gepoolt und gleiche Volumina mittels RP-Chromatographie und Batch-Elution aufgereinigt. Das aufgereinigte Medium wurde auf Kollagenkissen aufgetragen und in Critical size defects der Rattencalvaria implantiert. Während in einer Kontrollgruppe, welche mit isotoner Kochsalzlösung behandelt wurde, radiologisch und histologisch keine Knochenregeneration beobachtet werden konnte, zeigte sich in den mit postnatalem Medium behandelten Defekten eine geringfügige und in den mit fetalen Überständen behandelten Defekten eine deutliche Knochenregeneration mit der Folge einer kompletten Defektüberbrückung. Diese Experimente bestätigen die grundsätzliche Möglichkeit, durch die Applikation aufgereinigter Osteoblastenkulturüberstände in Knochendefekten jenseits des autogenen spontanen Regenerationspotenzials eine vollständige Defektregeneration zu erzielen. Dabei spielt der Altersfaktor des Donororganismus im Hinblick auf die osteogene Potenz der Kulturüberstände eine bestimmende Rolle. Durch weiterführende Aufreinigungsschritte konnten mittels MALDI zahlreiche qualitative Unterschiede im Hinblick auf die Peptidzusammensetzung der fetalen bzw. postnatalen Osteoblastenkulturüberstände detektiert werden.

    Notes: Abstract  We have analyzed variation in the structure of the human photoreceptor mosaic as a function of age, sex, and retinal location using the nearest neighbor and density recovery profile methods. In contrast to most previous work, we have focused our analysis on the mid- and far-peripheral human retina. Video-enhanced differential interference contrast optics was used to characterize differences in the nasal and temporal periphery of unstained wholemounts from 12 males and 12 females ranging in age from 15- to 83-years-old. At sites matched for cone density (∼5,000 cones/mm2), the mosaic is far more orderly in the temporal than in the nasal periphery. This is true at all ages and in both sexes. Despite their increased local order, regularity ratios of adjacent temporal fields tend to be much more variable than are those of adjacent nasal fields. These marked nasal-temporal differences are eliminated when eccentricity is held constant and cone density is allowed to vary. There is a mild, statistically significant age-related decline in the regularity of the cone mosaic, but only in the nasal periphery. There are no significant differences in the precision of the cone mosaic between sexes. The equivalence of the regularity of the mosaic at matched eccentricities, but not at matched cone densities, suggests that the irregularity of the mosaic is secondary to developmental gradients and, more generally, to reduced selection for high acuity vision in the retinal periphery.

    Notes: Abstract  Apoptotic cell death is thought to play a crucial role in the manifestation of insulin- and non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Therefore, apoptosis and apoptotic markers were studied in the rat endocrine pancreas to get insight into the possible life cycle of Langerhans islets.The islets were investigated at 13 time points between day E19 and 18 months. At each time point, histologic sections were treated with the direct fluorescein-labelled TUNEL method and immunostained for pancreatic hormones (glucagon, insulin), apoptotic promoters (Bak, Bax, Fas, Fas Ligand) as well as for the anti-apoptotic peptide Bcl-2. All tissue sections were investigated using confocal laser scanning microscopy under identical settings for semiquantitative estimation of staining intensity. TUNEL-positive cells occurred in all pre- or postnatal stages.The findings indicated a biphasic apoptotic activity in the endocrine pancreas during the lifetime of rats. The first phase began at E19 and peaked at P5 accompanied by a considerable increase in Bak fluorescence staining intensity, while the second phase began at P30 and peaked at 18 months with increasing amounts of Fas and FasL staining intensities in the islet cells. The presented in situ data may be important for understanding the increased age-related vulnerability of islet cells and for studies of isolated and cultivated rat islets.

    Notes: Abstract Oxygen free radicals have been proposed to be involved in the process of aging. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase are important for antioxidative defense. In this study, profiles of SOD, catalase, and their mRNA levels were investigated in the frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes, subcortex and cerebellum of male Wistar rats at ages 1–21 months. The total SOD and Mn SOD activities increased with age and exhibited higher levels at 6 and 12 months but decreased thereafter. Activity of catalase showed a similar trend and notably peaked at 12 months. The mRNA levels of Cu/Zn SOD, Mn SOD, and catalase remained constant in all areas tested (frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital lobes, and subcortex) except the cerebellum. Post-transcriptional regulation was involved in modulating the enzymes' activities during aging. Furthermore, the rate of mitochondrial generation of the superoxide anion $$(O_2^{\bar .} )$$ increased gradually with aging. Taken together, the results suggest that the increase of oxidative potential and the loss of proper antioxidant defense in the rats appear to be highly involved in the aging process of the brain.

    Notes: Abstract  It has been suggested that progeria, a congenital disorder associated with clinical features that resemble premature aging, may be the result of a connective tissue abnormality. Although to date the clinical and pathologic features for 14 autopsied cases of progeria have been reported, details as to the renal changes in progeria are scanty. We investigated the histological features from a male and female with progeria who died aged 11 years and 20 years respectively. In our young male subject there was no glomerulosclerosis, while the kidney from the older subject showed focal renal scarring with focal glomerulosclerosis and associated tubular atrophy. Two small papillary adenomas were present within the renal cortex of the latter subject. In both cases non-sclerotic glomeruli were moderately enlarged with expansion of mesangial matrix. Immunohistochemical detection of collagens showed absence of collagen I and III within the mesangium of non-sclerotic glomeruli, while there was moderate to marked expression of collagen IV, V and VI. Collagen V is thought to be involved in matrix assembly while collagen VI probably has a regulatory role in extracellular matrix development and these are either not seen or are very weakly expressed in normal renal mesangium. The distribution of collagen within the mesangium of progeria kidney is evidence in support of the concept that progeria is a primary connective tissue disorder.

    Notes: Abstract In the present study, we analyzed both telomere length and telomerase activity in surgical and autopsy samples of non-neoplastic mucosa and carcinomas of the stomach. Telomere length, determined by Southern blot analysis, demonstrated progressive shortening with age in non-neoplastic gastric mucosal specimens from 38 human subjects aged between 0 and 99 years, with an average annual loss rate of 46 base pairs (bp). The mean (±SD) telomere length in 21 gastric carcinomas was 7.0 ± 1.6 × 103 base pairs (1.6 kbp). In 20 (95%) of the 21 subjects, the values were smaller than those in the non-neoplastic gastric mucosa (mean shortening 1.8 kbp), although a strong correlation was observed for the paired data (r = 0.69, P = 0.0004). Similarly, telomere lengths in carcinomas were shorter than those for intestinal metaplasia (a mean difference of 1.1 kbp). Telomerase activity, estimated using the telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay, was positive in 18 (86%) of the 21 gastric carcinomas, without significant differences among the three histological types (well, moderately, and poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas) or with sex or age. The results suggest that telomere length and possibly shortening rates vary with the individual, and that examination of both non-neoplastic mucosa and tumors is necessary to improve our understanding of the significance of telomerase in neoplasia.

    Notes: Abstract The antibody repertoire changes with age. This change reflects, in part, the age-associated impairment in the production of a diverse population of naive B cells in the bone marrow and, in part, by the decreased diversification of B cells in the germinal center where affinity maturation and isotype switching takes place. B cell number is strictly regulated and despite the decreased output of B cells by the bone marrow does not decline during aging. Self-renewal of peripheral B cells is sufficient to assure the stability of peripheral B cell number. However, when B cell production is stressed as, for example, following drug-induced lymphopenia, the rate of recovery of B cell number as well as of B cell diversity is compromised in old compared to young mice. Finally, aging is associated with the appearance of B cell clonal expansions which not only limit the diversity of the B cell repertoire but very likely give rise to monoclonal serum immunoglobulins and B cell neoplasms.

    Notes: Abstract In an effort to determine whether aging might alter the manner in which pairs of motor units are coactivated, the extent of motor unit synchronization was assessed in the first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle in seven young (mean 28 years) and eight older adults (mean 75 years). During constant-force isometric contractions at either 50% or 100% of maximal effort, motor units were recorded using a four-wire needle electrode and a multi-channel recording technique. Customized software was utilized to identify the occurrences of motor unit action potentials from the resultant three-channel signals. The magnitude of motor unit synchronization was determined using six variables that have been described previously in the literature. The extent of motor unit synchronization was similar in both young and older adults, occurring in nearly every motor unit pair observed. During the 50% maximum voluntary contractions, the CIS synchronization measure (the number of synchronized discharges per unit time) averaged 2.5 in the young subjects and 2.4 in the older individuals. The intensity of motor unit synchronization was somewhat greater during maximal force isometric contractions. We conclude that motor unit synchronization in the FDI muscle is a ubiquitous phenomenon that is not affected by the aging process.

    Notes: Abstract Six young (aged 18–22 years) and six older (aged 66–76 years) healthy humans participated in a visually guided isometric force modulation training program designed to improve accurate control of force during ankle dorsiflexion. Isometric force and the discharge activity of motor units (MU) supplying the tibialis anterior muscle were sampled concurrently at the beginning of the study, following 2 weeks of force modulation training and again after a 4 week retention period which followed immediately. The initial maximal voluntary force (MVC) and MU discharge rates were similar between young and older adults at 10–60% MVC while MU discharge rates during maximal effort were significantly reduced in older adults. Following the 2 weeks of force modulation training, both young and older adults demonstrated significant improvements in force accuracy (44% young, 48% older) and significantly reduced MU discharge rates at 30%, 40%, and 60% MVC. Young adults also demonstrated increased MVC force (11%), while older adults demonstrated significantly increased (30%) maximal MU discharge rate. Thus, following 2 weeks of force modulation training, young and older individuals demonstrated similar MU discharge rates at all force levels. The MU discharge rate adaptations were retained after the 4 week retention period. In young adults, improved force accuracy and increased MVC force were accompanied by significantly reduced MU recruitment thresholds. In the older subjects, improved force accuracy was accompanied by an increase in the difference between the recruitment-derecruitment force threshold and significantly reduced antagonist co-contraction. Age-related alterations in force regulation and MU discharge activity cannot be explained solely on the basis of contractile changes in senescent muscle. Rather, reliance on compensatory neuromuscular changes including antagonist muscle co-contraction is suggested.

    Notes: Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common human neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the progressive deterioration of cognition and memory in association with the presence of senile plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and massive loss of neurons. Most cases of AD are late-onset and sporadic, but in some cases the disease is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Four different genes, the amyloid precursor protein, apolipoprotein E, and presenilins 1 and 2 have been implicated in the etiology of familial AD. It is now generally accepted that massive neuronal death due to apoptosis is a commmon characteristic in the brains of patients suffering from neurodegenerative diseases, and apoptotic cell death has been found in neurons and glial cells in AD. This review summarizes the current findings regarding the evidence for apoptosis in AD and discusses the possible involvement of apoptosis-regulating factors in the pathology of AD. Modification of the apoptotic cascade could be considered as a primary therapeutic strategy for the disease.

    Effects of Aging And Dietary Restriction On The Structural Integrity of Rat Articular Cartilage (2000)

    Notes: Abstract The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of aging and diet restriction on the biomechanical properties of articular cartilage, using a well-controlled rat model (Fischer 344). This animal model is recommended by the National Institute of Aging specifically to study aging and diet issues. The intrinsic biomechanical properties of articular cartilage were obtained using a creep indentation approach. The ages chosen (6, 12, 18, 24 months of age) correspond to approximate human ages of 20 to 80 years old. The diet regimen employed in this study used either an ad libitum fed group or a group fed 60% of the mean food intake of the ad libitum group. The results demonstrate that, unlike bone, rat articular cartilage biomechanical properties are not affected in a discernible manner by diet restriction, despite the fact that diet-restricted animals were significantly lighter in terms of body weight. Age effects on biomechanical properties are found only at 6 and 12 months probably due to developmental reasons, but not at later ages. It appears that aging and diet restriction have profoundly different effects on articular cartilage and bone. Another significant result of this study was to establish the rat as a suitable animal model to study cartilage biomechanical properties. Thus, the rat can be added to the list of animals that can be used to study structure-function and pathophysiological relationships in articular cartilage. © 2000 Biomedical Engineering Society.

    Notes: Abstract The incorporation of polar and non-polar moieties into cerebral cortex (CC) and cerebellum (CRBL) phospholipids of adult (3.5-month-old) and aged (21.5-month-old) rats was studied in a minced tissue suspension. The biosynthesis of acidic phospholipids through [3H]glycerol appears to be slightly increased with respect to that of zwitterionic or neutral lipids in CC of aged rats with respect to adult rats. On the contrary, the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine (PC) from [3H]choline was inhibited. However, the incorporation of [14C]serine into phosphatidylserine (PS) was higher in CC and CRBL in aged rats with respect to adult rats. The synthesis of phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) from PS was not modified during aging. Saturated ([3H]palmitic) and polyunsaturated ([3H]arachidonic) acids were incorporated successfully by adult and aged brain lipids. In addition [3H]palmitic, [3H]oleic and [3H]arachidonic acid were employed as glycerolipid precursors in brain homogenate from aged (28.5 month old) and adult (3.5 month old) rats. [3H]oleic acid incorporation into neutral lipids (NL) and [3H]arachidonic acid incorporation into PC, PE and phosphatidylinositol (PI) were increased in aged rats with respect to adult rats. Present results show the ability and avidity of aged brain tissue in vitro to incorporate unsaturated fatty acids when they are supplied exogenously. They also suggest a different handling of choline and serine by base exchange enzyme activities to synthesize PC and PS during aging.

    Notes: Abstract Nitric oxide and other reactive nitrogen species appear to play several crucial roles in the brain. These include physiological processes such as neuromodulation, neurotransmission and synaptic plasticity, and pathological processes such as neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation. There is increasing evidence that glial cells in the central nervous system can produce nitric oxide in vivo in response to stimulation by cytokines and that this production is mediated by the inducible isoform of nitric oxide synthase. Although the etiology and pathogenesis of the major neurodegenerative and neuroinflammatory disorders (Alzheimer's disease, amyothrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and multiple sclerosis) are unknown, numerous recent studies strongly suggest that reactive nitrogen species play an important role. Furthermore, these species are probably involved in brain damage following ischemia and reperfusion, Down's syndrome and mitochondrial encephalopathies. Recent evidence also indicates the importance of cytoprotective proteins such as heat shock proteins (HSPs) which appear to be critically involved in protection from nitrosative and oxidative stress. In this review, evidence for the involvement of nitrosative stress in the pathogenesis of the major neurodegenerative/ neuroinflammatory diseases and the mechanisms operating in brain as a response to imbalance in the oxidant/antioxidant status are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Purpose: The objective was to determine the effects of women'sage on the ovarian fecundity as assessed by the incidenceof apoptotic granulosa cells. Methods: Twenty-eight normo-ovulatory women underwentovulation induction for standard IVF. The husbands of thesewomen showed severe male infertility factors. The womenwere divided into four groups according to their ages. Womenunderwent follicle aspiration after the administration ofhuman menopausal gonadotropin plus human chorionicgonadotropin. The nuclei of granulosa cells were examinedby using fluorescence microscopy, and the incidence of apoptotic granulosa cells was tabulated. Results: Granulosa cells in the older women revealed asignificant increase in the number of apoptotic cells. Thenumber of total oocytes and the number of mature oocytesobtained significantly decreased with age. However, endometrial thickness and follicular estradiol, progesterone, andfree testosterone levels were not significantly different amongfour different age groups. Conclusions: Age increases apoptotic changes in granulosacells and consequently decreases the ovarian fecundity.

    Notes: Abstract Arterial intimal fibroplasia in renal interlobular arteries but not arteriolar hyalinization was reported to be proportional to the rise of blood pressure with age in the data from all populations examined so far. New findings from Japan offer further insights into the disparities between the two types of renovasculopathy, both of which are called by the same name, `arteriolosclerosis'. PAS stained paraffin sections were prepared from specimens obtained atautopsy in Tokyo and New Orleans, emphasizing basal subjects, i.e. those with no cause of deathknown to be related to hypertension. Severities of fibroplastic vasculopathy, in units of intimal thickness as % of outer diameter, and hyaline vasculopathy, in units of affected arterioles per cm2 of tissue sectional area, were measured morphometrically. Blood pressure data were taken from published population surveys. Fibroplastic renovasculopathy was found to provide a proxy for mean blood pressure (MBP) when comparing groups of men and women of various age groups in the USA and Japan. Hyaline renovasculopathy did not reproduce these patterns. Some of these findings confirm similar results from prior studies, and this reproducibility increases confidence that a true biological difference may exist between these populations.

    Models of health-related quality of life in a population of community-dwelling Dutch elderly (2000)

    Notes: Abstract Objective: Though health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is now commonly measured as an outcome in clinical trials, the relationships between its components remain unclear. The relation of physical symptoms, physical function, and psychological symptoms to each other and to overall quality of life is of special interest. Method: Cross-sectional data from 5279 community-dwelling elders who participated in the Groningen Longitudinal Aging Study were analyzed using structural equation modeling techniques. Three models were examined. One “Linear” model included: number of chronic medical conditions, physical symptoms, physical functioning, activity interference, social function, perceived health and overall quality of life in a simple linear progression. Another ‘non-linear’ model included these variables, but allowed effects between non-adjacent variables. A third ‘non-linear’ model included these variables plus anxiety and depressive symptoms. Results: The Linear Model did not satisfactorily account for the observed data [X 2(15df) = 2946.96], so the saturated Non-Linear Model, incorporating paths between non-adjacent components, is described. When anxiety and depressive symptoms were added to this Non-Linear Model, they fit best in a position mediating the relation between perceived health and overall quality of life [X 2(5df) = 136.78]. Conclusions: Overall quality of life appears to be related to symptom status as directly as it is related to functional status. Anxiety and depressive symptoms appear to mediate the relation between general health perceptions and overall quality of life. Quality of life measures should therefore include assessments of physical and psychological symptom severity as well as functional status if they are to truly reflect what matters to patients. The disability-adjusted life year (DALY) measure used by the WHO may inadequately reflect the effect of symptoms on patient's quality of life.

    Notes: Abstract Qualitative in-person interviews with 114 olderAfrican Americans and whites with chronic illness wereconducted to assess whether they thought of themselvesas healthy or not healthy and the meanings associatedwith that assessment. The first and most frequentlyassigned attribute of healthy was the presence offunctional capacities; for not healthy it was thepresence of medical conditions or physical symptoms. While both African Americans and whites respondedsimilarly regarding the assessment of whether theywere healthy or not healthy, African Americansdescribed the attributes associated with healthy ornot healthy somewhat differently than whites. Also,both groups reported more varied meanings to theconcept of `healthy' than to `not healthy', suggestingthat `healthy' may be a multidimensional constructmore connected to ones' total life experiences than is`not healthy'. This study concludes that social andcultural factors such as race, ethnicity or healthexperiences may influence how individuals perceive anddescribe their health status and the processes used inmaking these assessments.

    Notes: Abstract Both developing and major developed countries of theworld are facing the global aging of their citizenry.The United States and the People's Republic ofChina each share in this phenomenon. Therapid growth of their aging populations comes as bothcountries are experiencing a sustained period ofeconomic stability with an accompanying drop infertility rates (Coale & Watkins 1986; Dyson &Murphy 1985). Together with longer expected lifespans in both countries, these factors have caused ashift in the population structure which will result inincreasingly large portions of the population who willpotentially require assistance with ADL's and/or longterm care (Olson 1990; Kennedy, LaPlante & Kaye1997). The careful assessment and interpretation ofavailable data to define the actual extent of needshould be part of a process to help guide each countryas they prepare for the future.

    Notes: Abstract Data from 2 independent random samples of thepopulation of community-dwelling older adults ineastern North Carolina are used to assess the effectsof Christian religious subdimensions, including churchattendance and participation, belief that religiousfaith affects health, and belief that prayer and Godcombine with medical treatment to cure illness, uponmental health. Self-reported religiosity in thispopulation across dimensions is described and theeffects of selected demographic characteristics uponreligiosity are assessed. Lastly, the main effects ofdemographic characteristics, religiosity, and healthstatus upon the mental health of respondents areexplored. Findings suggest that Christian religiousbeliefs and practices are widespread in this mainlyrural population and that females and African Americanelderly people are more likely than others to professreligious beliefs and to participate in church-relatedactivities. Multivariate results suggest that reducedhealth status, including functional ability, combineswith limited participation in church activities toresult in poorer self-rated mental health and moresymptoms of depression. The implications of thefindings for the role of Christian religiosity inhealth and mental health are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Most research by gerontologists into the relationshipbetween religion and aging has focused upon thepotential health benefits of religious participationamong Americans who follow Judeo-Christian orientedforms of worship and belief. This research has shownthat both as a social institution and source ofexistential meaning, religion provides an importantresource for older people in terms of fellowship andas a means of coping and adapting to social change andpersonal loss. Other religious traditions and otheraspects of salience of religious participation forolder people have been less thoroughly considered. This article investigates a religious ritual in Japan,that, rather than being a source of consolation, is anexpression of symbolic capital associated with elderstatus and, thus, gerontocratic power. The ritualcontributes to representing and reproducing the powerof older residents in a rural Japanese community,partly due to its being administratively situatedwithin an age-grade system that is a part ofneighborhood political organization. Through itsperformance, the ritual visually reproduces andrepresents stratified social structures thatconcentrate power in the hands of male members of thesenior age grade.

    Notes: Abstract Eighteen older adults and 18 younger adults were compared on two quantitative measures describing changes over time in the spatial distribution of running EEG. EEG was collected from 128 electrodes under resting eyes-open and eyes-closed conditions and during performance of a 13 minute sustained attention task. One EEG measure, the recrudescence rate, represented the number of changes in the location of the highest squared voltage per second. A second EEG measure consisted of the algorithmic complexity of changes in the location of the highest squared voltage over time. Regardless of the task condition, older adults had significantly higher scores than younger adults on both the recrudescence rate and the measure of algorithmic complexity. The implications of the results for neurologically-based theories of performance declines in older adults are discussed.

    Notes: ---This paper describes a liquid chromatographic method using a reversed phase capillary column coupled to an UV detector for the quantitation of thirteen pollutant phenols. Chromatographic separation was carried out with gradient elution at 25.0 ± 0.1°C. The two major anisocratic elution modes (gradient elution and temperature programming) were evaluated. The detection limit range was 10-81 pg (100 nL injected). The chromatographic method combined with liquid-liquid extraction was applied to analysis of these compounds in river water. Recoveries of 75-103% were achieved for most of them.

    Notes: ---The volatile constituents of lulo del Chocó (Solanum topiro) fruit pulp obtained by liquid-liquid extraction were analyzed by capillary GC and capillary GC-MS. In total, 30 components were identified with methyl salicylate, hexadecanoic acid, hexanal, guaiacol, ethyl butanoate, and ethyl acetate being the major components. Chirospecific MDGC analysis revealed the predominance of (R)-ethyl-3-hydroxybutanoate (ee 40%) and the presence of racemic mixtures both of δ-octalactone and of δ-decalactone. For γ-hexalactone, γ-octalactone, and γ-decalactone enantiomeric distributions of 22.4 : 77.6, 22.9 : 77.1, and 20.0 : 80.0, (R) : (S), respectively, were determined. Glycosidically bound aroma compounds were identified by capillary GC and capillary GC-MS after isolation of the glycosidic fraction obtained by Amberlite XAD-2 adsorption and methanol elution followed by hydrolysis with a commercial pectinase enzyme. In total 13 bound aroma compounds (aglycones) were identified. These aglycones mainly consisted of compounds exhibiting aromatic structures. Additionally, with the aid of capillary GC and capillary GC-MS (EI and NCI) of trifluoroacetylated derivatives we identified eight glucosides: the novel 3,6-epoxy-7-megastigmen-5,9-diol β-D-glucopyranoside and the hexyl, benzyl, linalyl oxide (furanic), 2-phenylethyl, vomifolyl (isomer 1), (6S,9R)-vomifolyl, and scopoletin β-D-glucopyranosides.

    Notes: Using a running buffer containing cyclodextrins (CDs) and 2-[N-cyclohexylamino]-ethanesulfonic acid (CHES), positive system peaks were observed in the analysis of a ganglioside mixture by CE-UV. These system peaks were related to CDs in the running buffer because these peaks were also detected when a plug of solution devoid of CDs but having the same CHES concentration and pH as the running buffer was injected. Neutral CDs were separated owing to the formation of inclusion complexes with the anionic CHES ion. One possible explanation for the positive system peaks is that the anionic CD-CHES inclusion complex is displaced by co-ions with higher UV absorptivity.

    Notes: ---Synthetic pyrethroids are increasingly being used for insect control on field crops because of their advantageous environmental properties such as short field life, broad spectrum of insecticide activity, and relatively low mammalian toxicity. In the present work, experimental conditions were optimized for trace analysis of pyrethroids in water by using solid-phase microextraction followed by capillary gas chromatography. Effects of temperature, SPME-fiber diameter, and matrix were studied. SPME used off-line with a gas chromatograph electron-capture detection (GC-ECD) showed a linear response over a wide concentration range. Our results showed a strong temperature effect on pyrethroid extraction yield. The detection limit after 5 min of SPME-fiber exposure to the samples changed from 1 ppb (at 30°C) to 0.1 ppt (at 90°C), which is a 10000 increase in pyrethroid detection. The standard deviations of the analyte peak area ratios were typically in the range of 1-7% at 30°C and of 3 to 15% at 90°C. Best conditions for pyrethroids analysis were achieved using high temperature solution and a 100 μm polydimethylsiloxane fiber. No matrix (river water) influence was observed on detection of the investigated pyrethroids.

    Notes: Monolith columns are generally fabricated by polymerization of monomers within a column. This paper reviews an alternative strategy in which the bed is microfabricated in an inorganic material by ablation. Channels of 1.5 μm width and 10 μm depth were sculpted in quartz by deep reaction ion etching. Using this approach chromatographic beds were constructed in which cubic support structures were created and arranged in rows to mimic particles in a conventional column. Beds ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions of “particles” with volumes of 15 nL to 15 μL were produced. Columns that had been derivatized with an octadecyl silane stationary phase were used to separate both low molecular weight analytes and peptides in the CEC mode. Plate height in the CEC mode was 1.2 μm at maximum efficiency.

    Notes: The characterization of CIM® DEAE monolithic columns in terms of dynamic binding capacity is presented in this paper. Breakthrough experiments were performed for capacity determination. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a model protein. It is shown that CIM® monolithic columns have good batch-to-batch reproducibility as well as long-term stability. The experiments performed under different linear velocities demonstrated that the dynamic capacity is unaffected at least up to a linear velocity of 2450 cm/h. Furthermore, the breakthrough curve slope is constant, indicating that the capacity would remain constant at even higher linear velocities. The adsorption isotherm of BSA dissolved in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer shows a constant capacity of around 30 mg/mL of support down to a concentration of 20 μg/mL. The capacity is substantially influenced by the ionic strength; however, 20% of the maximal capacity is still preserved at 0.3 M NaCl.

    Notes: FVIII is a very complex molecule of great therapeutic significance. It is purified by a sequence of chromatographic steps including immunoaffinity chromatography. A peptide affinity chromatography method has been developed using peptides derived from a combinatorial library. Spot technology using cellulose sheets has been applied for this purpose. The dual positional scanning strategy was used for identification of the amino acids in random positions. Approximately 5000 possible candidates found in the first screening round were reduced to a panel of 36. Six candidates have been selected empirically. Five peptides seem to be directed against the light chain of FVIII, one peptide seems to be directed against the heavy chain. The peptides have been immobilized on conventional beaded material and CIM polymethacrylate monoliths. Much better performance with respect to capacity and selectivity has been observed with the monolithic material. Exposure of the ligand and its ensuing accessibility are responsible for these properties.

    Notes: A new kind of monolithic capillary electrochromatography column with poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene-co-methacrylic acid) as the stationary phase has been developed. The stationary phase was found to be porous by scanning electron microscopy and the composition of the continuous bed was proved by IR spectroscopy to be the ternary polymer of styrene, divinylbenzene, and methacrylic acid. The effects of operating parameters, such as voltage, electrolyte, and organic modifier concentration in the mobile phase on electroosmotic flow were studied systematically. The retention mechanism of neutral solutes on such a column proved to be similar to that of reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. In addition, fast analyses of phenols, chlorobenzenes, anilines, isomeric compounds of phenylenediamine and alkylbenzenes within 4.5 min were achieved.

    Notes: ---Sol-gel bonded packing materials in continuous-bed columns have been prepared for capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Three packing materials were investigated: small-pore Spherisorb ODS1 (3 μm, 80 Å) with octadecyl as stationary phase, small-pore mixed-mode Spherisorb ODS/SCX (3 μm, 80 Å) with octadecyl and propyl sulfonic acid as stationary phases, and large-pore Nucleosil ODS (7 μm, 1 400 Å) with octadecyl as stationary phase. The characteristics of these columns were compared in terms of electroosmotic flow, efficiency, inertness, and retention factors. In contrast to columns containing sol-gel bonded ODS, columns containing sol-gel bonded mixed-mode ODS/SCX generated nearly pH independent electroosmotic flow (EOF) over pH 2-9. Columns containing sol-gel bonded large-pore ODS produced nearly three times lower reduced plate height than those containing small-pore ODS. Efficiencies of 220,000 plates per meter and 175,000 plates per meter were obtained from columns containing sol-gel bonded 7 μm, 1 400 Å ODS and columns containing sol-gel bonded 3 μm, 80 Å ODS, respectively, which are among the highest reported efficiencies for continuous-bed columns. In CEC, over one million plates per meter and pH independent EOF are expected from continuous-bed columns containing sol-gel bonded 1.5 μm particles with large pores and mixed-mode stationary phases.

    Notes: ---Particle-loaded (3 μm, octadecylsilica) monolithic sol-gel columns have been prepared and selected characteristics measured. Several electrical properties may be calculated from simple current measurements in the column as a whole. Resistivity in the packed segment is approximately three times that in open segments, resulting in a 60% increase in field strength in the packed regions compared to the capillary with no packing. The surprisingly high specific permeability of these sol-gel columns is characteristic of 8-μm particles, which allows their operation in the microLC mode at pressures as low as 69 kPa where their efficiency is about 50,000 plates per meter and in the CEC mode where efficiency is about 106,000 plates per meter at 5 kV. There is a relatively rapid loss of efficiency with increasing linear velocity beyond 0.2 mm/s in microLC mode, which may be due to additional diffusion processes in the inter-particulate voids. A rapid loss of efficiency above 0.5 mm/s is also observed in the CEC mode, for the same reasons. Chromatographic retention behavior in either separation mode is characteristic of conventional octadecylsilica particles, indicating that analytes have significant access to the surface within the pores of the immobilized bonded phase.

    Notes: ---Fritless packed silica gel columns were prepared using sol-gel technology. A part of a 75 μm i.d. fused silica capillary was filled with a mixture of tetramethoxysilane and poly(ethylene glycol). After gelling at 40°C and heating at 300°C, the resultant silica gel was derivatized with dimethyloctadecylchlorosilane. A scanning electron micrograph of a cross-section of the capillary column showed that the gel took the form of a spherical particle aggregate and adhered to the column inner wall. The column performance was evaluated for electrochromatography using acetonitrile-50 mM HEPES buffer (pH 6.6) (60/40 or 40/60, v/v) as the mobile phase. An electroosmotic flow of 1.0 mm/s was generated with (60/40, v/v) acetonitrile/HEPES buffer at a field strength of 546 V/cm. Using a sol-gel-derived packed column at an electroosmotic flow of 0.5 mm/s, efficiencies of up to 1.1×105 plates/m were obtained for retained solutes.

    Notes: ---The application of a new silica-based, monolithic-type HPLC-column for fast separations is presented. The column is prepared according to a new sol-gel process, which is based on the hydrolysis and polycondensation of alkoxysilanes in the presence of water soluble polymers. The method leads to “rods” made of a single piece of porous silica with a defined pore structure, i. e. macro- and mesopores. The main feature of silica rod columns is a higher total porosity, about 15% higher than of conventional particulate HPLC columns. The resulting column pressure drop is therefore much lower, allowing operation at higher flow rates including flow gradients. Consequently, HPLC analysis can be performed much faster, as it is demonstrated by various applications.

    Notes: Monolithic materials have quickly become a well-established stationary phase format in the field of capillary electrochromatography (CEC). Both the simplicity of their in situ preparation method and the large variety of readily available chemistries make the monolithic separation media an attractive alternative to capillary columns packed with particulate materials. This review summarizes the contributions of numerous groups working in this rapidly growing area, with a focus on monolithic capillary columns prepared from synthetic polymers. Various approaches employed for the preparation of the monoliths are detailed, and where available, the material properties of the resulting monolithic capillary columns are shown. Their chromatographic performance is demonstrated by numerous separations of different analyte mixtures in variety of modes. Although detailed studies of the effect of polymer properties on the analytical performance of monolithic capillaries remain scarce at this early stage of their development, this review also discusses some important relationships such as the effect of pore size on the separation performance in more detail.

Preparative liquid chromatography is recognized as a valuable technique for the isolation and purification of substances in the pharmaceutical and fine chemicals industry. The system technology has meanwhile reached a high standard, and the greatest future improvements are expected to arise from new and improved adsorbents. Monolithic silica sorbents offer some unique features for preparative liquid chromatography. They exhibit high efficiencies even at high flow rates due to their fast convective mass transfer and can therefore be used at very high mobile phase velocities, leading to high productivity and hence to maximum process economy. The benefits of this new type of adsorbent are illustrated for an example in batch-chromatographic mode and an example using the continuous simulated moving bed (SMB) technology.

    Notes: ---Mesopore formation in silica gels having continuous macropores has been investigated. The macroporous wet silica gel prepared by the sol-gel process including phase separation was aged in a basic solvent making use of hydrolysis of urea in a closed condition. The mesopore structure was finally obtained by subsequent evaporation drying of solvent and heat-treatment at 600°C for 2 h. The dissolution-reprecipitation kinetics at the interfaces between wet gel skeletons and an external solvent affected the size and volume of pores formed within the skeletons. Below 120°C, mesopores suitable for various chromatographic applications have been formed typically within 24 h. On the other hand, at 200°C, the pore size attained the macropore dimensions (〉50 nm), and the whole macroporous morphology was significantly modified.

    Notes: ---Two types of monolithic silica columns derivatized to form an ODS phase, one prepared in a fused silica capillary (SR-FS) and the other prepared in a mold and clad with an engineering plastic (poly-ether-ether-ketone) (SR-PEEK), were evaluated. The column efficiency and pressure drop were compared with those of a column packed with 5-μm ODS-silica particles and of an ODS-silica monolith prepared in a mold and wrapped with PTFE tubing (SR-PTFE). SR-FS gave a lower pressure drop than a column packed with 5-μm particles by a factor of 20, and a plate height of 20 μm at a linear velocity below 1 mm/s. SR-PEEK showed higher flow-resistance than the other monolithic silica columns, but they still showed a minimum plate height of 8-10 μm and a lower pressure drop than popular commercial columns packed with 5-μm particles. The evaluation of SR-FS columns in a CEC mode showed much higher efficiency than in a pressure-driven mode.

    Note on the Net Retention Volume in Chromatography with a Real Gas as a Carrier (2000)

    Notes: The problem of the calculation and interpretation of the net retention volume with a real gas as carrier is revisited. The properties of the carrier are described by a first order virial equation of state. The net retention volume of a solute is related to the mean flow rate of the carrier, therefore determination of the mean flow rate of a real gas carrier is reviewed. It is shown that the mean flow rate cannot be calculated from the mean column pressure. With a real gas carrier the local capacity factor depends on the local pressure of the real gas. The basic relationship between the net retention volume and the function describing this pressure dependence is also reviewed. Precise formulae as well as practical approximations are presented for the calculation of the mean flow rate, of the mean column pressure, and of a representative pressure related to the mean capacity factor.

The polyols are oxidized in a photochemical reactor to yield oxalate with subsequent chemiluminescence detection using [Ru(III)(bpy)3]3+. A mixing solution of eluate and oxidizing reagent is delivered to a reaction coil, which is then irradiated with ultraviolet light to promote the oxidation reaction. The detection limits for 1,2-ethanediol (ethylene glycol) and 1,3-propanediol were 38 pmol and 23 pmol, respectively.

    Notes: A coupled LC-GC method for the analysis of carbazole-type PANH has been developed and evaluated. Group separation and isolation of carbazoles from interfering acridines in a complex sample matrix was accomplished by using a back-flush technique and an in situ end-capped dimethylaminopropyl silica column in the HPLC part of the system. On-line injection of the carbazole fraction into the GC column was performed with a loop-type interface utilizing concurrent solvent evaporation technique. An LOD of 1-3 pg of individual carbazole compounds was achieved by nitrogen selective detection using an NPD. The method is shown to be robust and is demonstrated by application to personal exposure measurement in an aluminum reduction plant.

    Notes: ---The separation and determination of twelve anthraquinones, viz. anthraquinone 1, chrysphanol 2, aloe-emodin 3, alizarin 4, anthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid 5, purpurin 6, sennoside B 7, sennoside A 8, emodin 9, quinalizarin 10, rhein 11, and anthraflavic acid 12, were achieved by capillary electrophoresis (CE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Detection at 260 nm with a buffer solution containing 30 mM sodium borate (adjusted to pH = 10.56 with 0.05N NaOH) and acetonitrile (9 : 1) in CE or with a linear gradient elution containing 20 mM KH2PO4 with 0.05% phosphoric acid (pH = 2.91) and methanol in HPLC was found to be the most suitable approach for this separation. Contents of six components (2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 11) in crude Rhei Rhizoma extract could easily be determined within 39 min by CE or 63 min by HPLC. The effects of buffers on this separation and the validation of the two methods were studied.

    Notes: ---In this work a fast gas chromatography set-up with on-column injection was optimized and evaluated with a model mixture of C8-C28 n-alkanes. Usual injection volumes when using narrow-bore (e. g., 0.1 mm i.d.) analytical columns are ca. 0.1 μL. The presented configuration allows introduction of 10-30-fold larger sample volumes without any distortion of peak shapes. In the set-up a normal-bore retention gap (1 m×0.32 mm i. d.) was coupled to a narrow-bore (4.8 m×0.1 mm i. d.×0.4 μm film thickness) analytical column using a low dead volume column connector. The effects of the experimental conditions such as inlet pressure, sample volume, initial injection temperature, and oven temperature on a peak focusing are discussed. H-u curves for helium and hydrogen are used to compare their suitability for high speed gas chromatography and to show the dependence of separation efficiency on the carrier gas velocity at high inlet pressures. In the fast gas chromatography system a baseline separation of C10-C28 n-alkanes was achieved in less than 3 minutes.

    Notes: ---Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) is an utterly suitable separation technique for the analysis of complex samples, such as oil fractions. Once the two columns and the operating conditions are properly tuned, the technique is able to provide a detailed characterization of such materials. Some considerations applying to the tuning of a GC×GC system for a specific separation are presented and discussed. The authors present a number of different column sets and conditions which allow the separation of a non-aromatic hydrocarbon solvent, a kerosene, the light end of a crude oil, and an olefinic fraction, respectively. The highly structured GC×GC chromatograms, together with chemical knowledge about the samples, provide a much more comprehensive characterization of the samples than hitherto possible.

    Notes: ---In comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography, two individual separations are coupled by means of a rotating thermal desorption modulator interface. The injection pulse introduced via the interface onto the second column should be as short as possible. Parameters affecting the modulator operation are studied. In the set-up used in this study, the temperature of the second column can be programmed independently from that of the first column. Optimization of the second-dimension separation to minimize peak broadening and maximize resolution is discussed and an elegant approach to determine second-dimension retention times using a non-constant modulation frequency is demonstrated. The high separation power of the comprehensive system is demonstrated by the analysis of technical and biota samples containing chlorinated biphenyls and toxaphene.

    Notes: ---Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) has been applied to the quantitation of oxygenates in reformulated gasoline. Target oxygenates were C1-C4 alcohols, tert-pentanol, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), diisopropyl ether (DIPE), ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), and tert-amyl methyl ether (TAME). These were separated from the gasoline matrix using a volatility-based selectivity in the first chromatographic dimension, followed by a mixed-phase polarity/shape selectivity in the second dimension. The high resolving power of this stationary phase combination completely separated all oxygenates except DIPE, ETBE, and TAME, which exhibited coelution with other nonpolar gasoline components. Oxygenates quantitation was achieved with the use of an internal standard, an FID detector, and calibration curves. Quantitation results are in good agreement with ASTM and EPA standard methods. When coupled with our previous method for BTEX and aromatics, a single GC×GC method can now quantitate MTBE, alcohols, BTEX, and aromatics in a one-hour analysis.

    Notes: ---Solid-phase extraction, on-line derivatization, and measurement by ion trap mass spectrometry (ITD-MS) were used to investigate the biological degradation of pharmaceutical residues (clofibric acid, ibuprofen, diclofenac). The results of the single steps of sample pretreatment and analytical determination are reported. MS/MS measurements were performed on an ITD-MS by selecting collision induced dissociation of the molecular ions (M+) as parent ions to defined daughter ions. A pilot sewage plant and biofilm reactors operating under oxic and anoxic conditions were run as model systems with synthetic sewage water containing 10 to 50 mg/L dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and pharmaceuticals in concentrations of 10 μg/L. Clofibric acid displayed its persistent character in all cases. The pilot sewage plant and the oxic biofilm reactor showed comparable results for diclofenac and ibuprofen, which both were partly degraded. These results can explain the occurrence of these substances in sewage effluents and in the aquatic environment. A high degree of degradation was found especially for ibuprofen in the oxic biofilm reactor, which was attributed to adaptation of the biofilm to the residue. Two metabolites of ibuprofen could be identified on the basis of their mass spectra and comparison with literature data, viz. hydroxyibuprofen and carboxyibuprofen.

    Notes: ---The two current technologies for achieving comprehensive gas chromatography (GC×GC) - the thermal sweeper and the cryogenic modulator - are compared in an interlaboratory study using a multicomponent semi-volatile aromatic compound sample. The same column set (phases, film thickness, dimensions of columns) and conditions of oven temperature program were used. Carrier gas flow settings however were different for the data reported here. The thermal sweeper has a longer overall length due to the extra ca. 30 cm length of narrow bore tubing used for the modulator/accumulator section. Data reveal that the two methods behave in an analogous manner in respect of delivering GC×GC results, with key peak parameters of peak widths and symmetry measures showing good correlation. Retention time dissimilarity on the first dimension columns in the two systems arises from different flow rates used, however the second column retention is similar, and this is due to the resulting different elution temperatures that peaks elute on the first dimension in each system. Overall, the two approaches to GC×GC appear to produce equivalent results within the scope of the application studied. Each system does have its experimental limitations; the thermal sweeper has what may be called a ‘thick film effect’, where at high temperature it can be difficult to sufficiently trap the migrating bands in the accumulator column, and the pulsing of solutes in the cryogenic system may suffer from a ‘thick wall effect’ if a column with too thick a wall dimension is used at low oven temperature.

    Notes: ---The interactive modes of High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) of proteins provide a platform for the construction of a multidimensional HPLC system coupled to mass spectrometry. We present a system composed of both anion and cation exchanger columns, in the first dimension, and n-octadecyl bonded 1.5 μm nonporous silica columns in the second dimension. Both columns are operated under gradient conditions. A system suitability test with standard proteins showed that the total analysis can be performed within about 20 minutes. The fractions taken from the ion exchanger column are directly analyzed within one minute on the reversed phase column at a high flow rate. Two reversed phase columns are applied and operated alternatively: while the first column performs the separation within one minute, the analytes leaving the first dimension are enriched in an on-column focusing mode on top of the second column. The sample clean-up and enrichment is performed on a novel type of restricted access cation exchanger column with internal sulfonic acid groups and external diol groups. The columns exhibit a molecular weight exclusion limit for globular proteins of about 15 kDa. Our next studies will be directed towards the analysis of proteins and peptides from extracts of fibroblasts.

    Notes: ---Seed oils from the Compositae plant family are known to contain a variety of unusual fatty acids. Subsequent to the recent discovery of γ-linolenic acid in Saussurea and Youngia, further Mongolian Compositae species were investigated for their seed oil fatty acid composition. A number of δ3trans-fatty acids (16 : 1δ3t, 18 : 1δ3t and 18 : 3δ3t, 9c, 12c) were found in the seed oils of Heteropappus hispidus and Asterothamnus centrali-asiaticus. The latter fatty acid, but not the trans-monoenes, was also found in one species of Artemisia. These unusual fatty acid isomers were characterized by capillary gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) separations in combination with other chromatographic techniques (analytical thin layer chromatography, TLC and preparative argentation TLC), and infrared spectrocsopy (IR). Their identity was further confirmed by co-chromatography with other seed oils known to contain these trans-fatty acids. The fact that within the Compositae plant family there are apparently two or three distinct groups of genera containing δ3trans-fatty acids is discussed.

    Notes: ---Isotope ratio monitoring gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of the 2H/1H ratio by pyrolysis isotope ratio mass spectrometry (P-IRMS) was used to analyze benzaldehyde originating from various sources. Based on the δ2HSMOW value of an authentic reference sample determined with an elemental analyzer (EA), the range of reproducibility and linearity was checked. Correct (EA related) and reproducible data were obtained for sample amounts 〉0.6 μg benzaldehyde (on column). In another series of experiments, the influence of sample preparation, i. e. simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) was found to be negligible. The following ranges of δ2HSMOW values were determined for benzaldehyde using five types of samples, i. e. (i) synthetic (δ2HSMOW -78 to -85‰, ex benzal chloride; +420 to +668‰, ex toluene) and ‘natural’ (including ‘ex-cassia’) references (δ2HSMOW -83 to -144‰); (ii) bitter almond oils (δ2HSMOW -113 to -148‰); (iii) fruits (δ2HSMOW -111 to -146‰); (iv) kernels (δ2HSMOW -115 to -188‰); and (v) leaves (δ2HSMOW -165 to -189‰).

    Effects of Injected Volume and Applied Voltage on Column Efficiency in Capillary Electrochromatography with Open Tubular Columns of 10 μm i. d. (2000)

    Notes: The effect of some instrumental parameters on column efficiency in open tubular capillary electrochromatography (OTCEC) has been evaluated. First, it was investigated whether band broadening due to the sample injection process is within a tolerable range when an open tubular column (OTC) of about 10 μm i. d. is used. As a result of the small injection profile factor (K2 = 1.3), injected volumes must be sufficiently small (less than 10 pL) to avoid a significant efficiency loss (〉5%) when hydrodynamic injection by siphoning is employed. Secondly, the kinetic performance of OTCs in a CEC system was estimated from the variation of the reduced plate height (h) with the reduced linear velocity (ν) which was controlled by the voltage applied. Reasonable agreement was obtained between the theoretical h versus ν curve and the experimental values for a group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons used as test compounds. Values of 0.25 for minimum h at an optimum ν of 16 are estimated, which permit separations with around 400,000 plates per meter to be obtained in less than 5 min. Finally, the possibility of estimating the diffusion coefficients of the solutes in the mobile phase from the plot of the height of a theoretical plate versus electroosmotic flow velocity is shown.

    Notes: ---High-throughput screening is a promising new approach in analytical chemistry. Within the framework of an extended screening program (The German-Chinese Drug Screening Program), the enantioseparation of 86 drugs was investigated by capillary zone electrophoresis in the presence of the chiral solvating agent (CSA) octakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-γ-cyclodextrin (TM-γ-CD). By this means, 15 drugs could be separated into enantiomeric pairs. Approximate measures for the degree of interaction (migration retardation factor, Rm) and for the degree of enantiomer recognition (migration separation factors, αm) revealed intriguing patterns that were compared with those found for native γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD). Although there is a distinct influence of the analyte structure on the electrophoretic data, interpretation remains difficult. Most remarkably, permethylation of γ-CD leads neither to a higher affinity nor to better chiral recognition, in contrast to the findings with α-CD.

The relationships between the retention data (k ´) and the two structure parameters were established for 13 O-aryl,O-(1-methylthioethylideneamino)phosphate compounds under a wide range of experimental conditions. The retention data (k ´) of another seven compounds with similar structures were predicted using these QSRR equations. Good agreement was obtained between the experimental k ´ values and predicted ones.

    Notes: ---Temperature-programmed packed capillary liquid chromatography has been coupled off-line to Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, utilizing a commercially available interface with a pneumatic nebulizer rebuilt to handle low flow rates at elevated temperatures. The modified interface showed excellent performance with regard to non-aqueous reversed phase separations of polymer additives, resulting in constructed Gram-Schmidt chromatograms comparable to chromatograms obtained using UV detection. The spray of the in-house constructed nebulizer was not influenced by temperature changes of the column effluent, and hence temperature-programmed gradient separations could be used successfully. The relative standard deviation of peak height was 4.4% (n = 5) and the mass limit of detection was determined to be about 40 ng, using a polymer antioxidant as model compound. The present instrumental coupling has been used for characterization of the antioxidant Irgafos P-EPQ.

    Notes: ---The ability of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) coupled on-line with capillary isotachophoresis (ITP) sample pretreatment in the column-coupling capillary electrophoresis equipment to separate trace enantiomers present in samples of complex ionic matrices and enantiomers present in their mixtures at significantly differing concentrations has been studied. Enantiomers of 2,4-dinitrophenyl labeled norleucine (DNP-Nleu) and tryptophan enantiomers were employed as model analytes in this work while urine and mixtures of tryptophan enantiomers of differing concentrations served as model samples. Experiments performed with urine samples spiked with the DNP-Nleu racemate at sub-μmol/L concentrations demonstrated excellent sample pretreatment capabilities of ITP (concentration of the analytes, in-column and post-column sample clean up) when coupled on-line with chiral CZE separations. In the CZE separations of enantiomers present in the samples at trace concentrations the sample pretreatment could be performed in both achiral and chiral ITP electrolyte systems. The use of a chiral electrolyte system was found to be essential in the ITP pretreatment of the samples containing the enantiomers at very differing concentrations. For example, a 2×10-7 mol/L concentration of L-tryptophan could be detected in the CZE separation stage of the ITP-CZE combination in samples containing about a 104 excess of D-tryptophan only when the ITP pretreatment was carried out in the electrolyte system providing the resolution of enantiomers (α-cyclodextrin served for this purpose in the present work). A post-column ITP sample clean up was found effective in enhancing the destacking rate of the trace enantiomer in the CZE stage when the migration configuration of the enantiomers was less favorable (the trace constituent migrating behind the major enantiomer).

    Notes: ---The essential oils from French lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) were separated by the two-dimensional GC technique of comprehensive gas chromatography. A coupled column combination of non-polar (5% phenyl equivalent) and polyethylene glycol phase columns was used to provide the desired resolution performance. By using a range of known standards, some of the peaks in lavender oil can be assigned. Some of these also occur in tea tree oil; however, from our knowledge of the major constituents in this oil and their relative retention behaviour, most of the major peaks may be tentatively assigned within the 2-dimensional separation space. There appear to be elution patterns within the 2-D space which should be useful in correlating retention with chemical and structural properties of the components, although this will require further evaluation. A range of coeluting peaks, which may not be so readily separated by using a single column capillary GC analysis, are resolved in the experiment described.

    Notes: Columns containing different types of cyclodextrin derivatives have been evaluated for chiral gas chromatographic separation of atropisomeric PCBs, o,p´-DDT and o,p´-DDD. Separation was attempted on columns containing mixed chiral selectors, and the performance of two closely related selectors was also examined. The cyclodextrins were: permethylated-β-CD (PM-β-CD), heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-CD (2,3-M-6-TBDMS-β-CD), heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-hexyldimethylsilyl)-β-CD (2,3-M-6-THDMS-β-CD), and heptakis(2,3-di-O-ethyl-6-O-tert-hexyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin (2,3-E-6-THDMS-β-CD). The cyclodextrins were dissolved in OV-1701 or in a dimethylsiloxane/silarylene copolymer containing 5% phenyl in the backbone. The application of mixed chiral selectors led to improved separations, however; at most eleven PCB congeners were separated on a single column. Chiral resolution of o,p´-DDD was achieved. The use of a dimethylsiloxane/silarylene copolymer as a matrix for the cyclodextrins is a promising approach. With such a matrix, blocking of the CD cavities by silicone substituent groups can be avoided, and a reasonable CD solubility can be provided. The selectivity of heptakis(2,3-di-O-ethyl-6-O-tert-hexyldimethylsilyl)-β-CD and heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-hexyldimethylsilyl)-β-CD was quite different, the former selector could separate four congeners, while the latter separated ten congeners.

    Notes: ---Quantities of D-amino acids were determined in body fluids (urine, blood plasma and blood serum, milk) of mammals (hamster, horse, bovine, sheep, pig, and dog). Amino acids were isolated using a cation exchanger and converted into their N(O)-pentafluoropropionyl (or trifluoroacetyl) amino acid 2-propyl esters. Enantiomers were separated and quantified on a Chirasil-L-Val capillary column with mass spectrometric detection using selected ion monitoring. D-Enantiomers of most protein L-amino acids were detected. Largest absolute and relative amounts in most cases were determined for D-Ser and D-Ala in urine. Stereoisomers of 2,6-diaminopimelic acid were also measured in bovine, ovine, and porcine urine. Since D-amino acids were detected in all representative classes of the major orders of Mammalia, namely Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla, Rodentia, and Carnivora, and taking reports in the literature into account, it is postulated that D-amino acids occur in all mammals.

Group-types like the alkanes and saturated cyclic compounds (naphthenes), which are present in oil, are shown separately by selecting their unique masses. On selecting appropriate ion fragments, this method also permits the determination of sulfur- and oxygen-containing species in oil. Former results obtained by FID detection could be confirmed. After proper selection of unique ions in GC×GC-TOF both selectivity and sensitivity increase.

    Notes: ---This work describes the construction and evaluation of a simple and versatile capillary supercritical fluid chromatographic (SFC) system and its application to the analysis of liquid fuels obtained by SFE. The modular supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) system uses a syringe pump, a fused silica capillary column (100 μm i.d., coated with a 0.2-μm thick film of 5% phenylpolymethylsiloxane), a FID detector, and a high pressure injection valve with a 60-nL internal loop. Coal-derived samples were obtained by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of a Brazilian high-inertinite coal from Amando Simões mine, located in Paraná state (Brazil) using toluene as solvent and operating in the static mode. SFE was followed by preparative liquid chromatography fractionation into eight discrete fractions (PLC-8 method). Two of those fractions (F-2 and F-8) were used to evaluate the proposed set-up. The system described proved to be simple, easy-to-use, and versatile when used in the analysis of a range of samples from low molecular weight-low volatility (F-2) to higher molecular weight-high polarity asphaltols (F-8).

    Notes: Monolithic stationary phases have revolutionized protein chromatography because they combine speed, capacity, and resolution in a unique manner. Since such stationary phases contain no particles but only flow-through pores, the usual mass transfer restrictions to the chromatography of large molecules are not observed and extremely fast separations become possible. Recently the area of application of monolith chromatography has been extended to the separation and analysis of small molecules and plasmid DNA. This review summarizes the state of art in high performance monolith and especially high performance monolithic disk chromatography (HPMDC). The current understanding of the theory of protein HPMDC is summarized, while an introduction to the evolving field of small molecule HPMDC is attempted. The basic differences between the monolithic disks and columns packed with conventional stationary phases (including perfusion and micropellicular particles) but also monolithic columns (porous rods) are outlined. Finally, the potential of HPMDC to analytical and preparative biochromatography is demonstrated by a discussion of recent applications of chromatographic disks for protein isolation and bioprocess analysis.

    Notes: ---Molecularly imprinted continuous polymer rods are prepared inside PEEK tubes of 1 mm i. d. by an in situ preparation technique; and chiral separations on such media have been demonstrated. The miniaturized column filled with (-)-cinchonidine-imprinted or (+)-cinchonine-imprinted polymer rods based on a copolymer of 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate permitted diastereoseparation of (-)-cinchonidine and (+)-cinchonine; the template molecule is retained to a greater extent than the corresponding antipode. Increasing the amount of cyclohexanol in the polymerization mixture decreased the backpressure of the resultant rod and the addition of latex beads suspended in water to the prepolymerization mixture affected the selectivity and affinity of the imprinted polymer rods. The column length is adjusted easily by cutting, thus allowing easy control of retention behavior and analysis time.

    Notes: The novel enantiomeric separation of acidic and neutral compounds by capillary electrochromatography with β-cyclodextrin-bonded positively charged polyacrylamide gels was examined. The columns used are capillaries filled with a positively charged polyacrylamide gel, a so-called monolithic stationary phase, to which allyl carbamoylated β-CD derivatives covalently bind. The capillary wall was activated first by bifunctional reagent to make the resulting gel bind covalently inside the fused-silica tubing. Enantiomeric separations of sixteen acidic and two neutral compounds were achieved using the above-mentioned columns and 200 mmol dm-3 Tris-300 mmol dm-3 boric acid buffer (pH 8.1) as a mobile phase. High efficiencies of up to 150 000 plates m-1 were obtained for dansyl-DL-amino acids. The within-run and between-run reproducibilities of retention time and separation factor were examined for three dansyl-DL-amino acids and warfarin. The relative standard deviations of the within-run and between-run reproducibilities of retention time were less than 1.2 and 1.3% over the six injections, respectively. Those of the separation factor were less than 0.3 and 0.2%, respectively. The gel-filled capillaries were stable for at least four months with intermittent use.

    Notes: ---Separation factors and thermodynamic data for the separation of various chiral analytes on different di-O-tert-butyldimethyl-silylated cyclodextrin derivatives are collected and described. Modifying the substitution pattern of the tert-butyldimethylsilyl group in position 2 and 3 or changing from β- to γ-cyclodextrin significantly affects the separation properties of the cyclodextrin derivatives.

    Notes: ---Heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl)-β-cyclodextrin was monofunctionalized by the regioselective introduction of exactly one ω-epoxyoctyl group at the primary site of the cyclodextrin. The site-specifically substituted cyclodextrin was immobilized to commercially available aminopropyl silica by nucleophilic opening of the epoxy function of the spacer substituent resulting in a lipophilic chiral stationary phase with broad applicability for enantiomer separations in capillary-HPLC under reversed-phase conditions.

    Notes: ---Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (SBSE), a recently introduced solventless extraction technique, was applied for the enrichment of benzoic acid in lemon flavored beverages. The stir bar is covered with 50 mg polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and the extraction mechanism is similar to that of solid phase micro extraction (SPME) but the enrichment factor is ca. 100 times higher. SBSE is followed by thermal desorption (TD)-capillary gas chromatography (CGC)-mass spectroscopy (MS). Calibration graphs for benzoic acid were linear from 1 to 1000 ppm for water and diluted soft drinks and the repeatability (n = 6) was less than 5% RSD.

    Notes: ---There is a constant drive to speed up GC separations. Shorter analysis times provide more analyses per day, which reduces cost. One approach is to reduce column length and column diameter and columns of 0.15 mm i.d. have indeed grown in popularity. However, the majority of applications are still done with 0.25 mm and 0.32 mm columns.

    Notes: ---Optimization of focused microwave (FMW)-assisted extraction of 4,4′-DDE, 4,4′-DDD, and 4,4′-DDT from soil samples was carried out using central composite designs. All the extracts were analyzed with GC/MS and some of them also with GC/AED using columns of different polarities for each of the techniques. The extraction of the analytes was carried out in two ways: with acetic acid as microwave radiation absorbent solvent and n-decane to concentrate the analytes and with reagent water and iso-octane as solvents. In the first case, the influence of the extraction temperature, the extraction time, and the addition of sodium chloride were studied and the optimum conditions for the extraction of 1 g of soil with 5 mL of acetic acid and 2 mL of n-decane were 1.30 mol L-1 sodium chloride at 98°C for 9.3 min. In the second case, the temperature was kept constant (94°C) and the influence of the concentration of sodium chloride and the extraction time were studied. The optimum conditions were 5 mL of a 2.0 mol L-1 sodium chloride together with 2 mL of iso-octane for 15 min. The recoveries obtained by water-FMW extraction were significantly lower than those obtained by the acetic acid-FMW procedure. These last recoveries were in good agreement with those obtained by closed microwave assisted-extraction with acetone-n-hexane as solvent.

    Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography. Concepts, Instrumentation, and Applications - Part 2: Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography (2000)

    Notes: ---The writer of this review published in 1978 a three-part article on two-dimensional gas chromatography in the first three issues of this journal [1]. The review was written at a time when capillary column GC was still in its infancy. Commercial columns were (essentially) unavailable and sample introduction into capillary columns was done exclusively in the split mode. Two-dimensional separations were explored in only a few laboratories. The limitations of capillary column technology made this exercise rather difficult. The introduction of fused silica capillary columns in the early eighties drastically changed the landscape in which gas chromatography was practiced. It took the chromatographic community just a few years to convert from packed columns to capillary columns. Instrumentation and accessories specifically designed for capillary column use came onto the market. This writer had great hopes that the revolution in capillary column GC would be mirrored in the development of instrumentation for Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography. This never materialized. On the contrary, tentative steps taken by a few manufacturers and suppliers of chromatographic equipment fizzled out. It was perhaps the introduction of relatively inexpensive and user friendly GC/MS instrumentation, in combination with nearly indestructible fused silica capillary columns that took away the incentive to develop commercially viable Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography. Much of the thinking went like this: why insist on good chromatography if mass spectrometry can do the job without the need of complete separation. Some progress in the further development of conventional Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography has certainly been made over the last 20 years but there has not been a great deal of excitement. Applications have also been relatively sparse and they are limited to just a few areas. Science does not remain static and chromatography is no exception. Progress in gas chromatography is driven by new technology and ideas. Substantial improvements in two-dimensional GC were not forthcoming until Phillips and his research group introduced and implemented an entirely new form of Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography, called comprehensive GC×GC. This breakthrough occurred only in 1991 [2]. It does take some time before scientists change attitudes and habits. There is always a time lag between the introduction of new technology and its general acceptance. The public's attitude toward comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography is probably no exception. The number of scientists who are actively pursuing this new branch of gas chromatography is still very small. It is often a single individual who carries the torch. J.B. Phillips' name is synonymous with comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography. He is not only its inventor and proponent but his fertile mind has initiated research in other related areas. Sadly, he passed aware shortly before this review was written. This contribution is dedicated to his memory.

    Notes: ---A jet of cool gas is used to locally cool a section of modulator tube in the presence of the stirred oven bath of a GC×GC instrument. Local cooling decouples the temperature of the modulator tube from that of the first dimension column, which was 100 meters long. Overall resolution of the GC×GC experiment was improved as a result. Another consequence of the jet-cooled thermal modulation structure is the elimination of moving parts in the GC oven. By pulsing cold and hot jets of gas onto a modulator tube with solenoid valves, two stage thermal modulation can be obtained without the complexity of moving parts in the vicinity of the capillary columns.

    Notes: ---Comprehensive three-dimensional gas chromatography (GC3) is demonstrated using modified GC×GC apparatus. A new thermal modulation scheme employing a single moving heater to operate two thermal modulators is introduced. Considerations of the bandwidth/resolution tradeoff of GC3 show that high-speed tertiary columns would make GC3 practical, with modest loss of underlying GC×GC peak capacity.

    Notes: ---This paper investigates the separation of moderately complex samples by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC). The analysis of peppermint (Mentha piperita) and spearmint (Mentha spicata) essential oil components, including acetates, alcohols, furans, ketones, sesquiterpenes, and terpenes, was achieved by one-dimensional gas chromatography with quadrupole mass spectrometry detection (GC/MSD) and GC×GC with flame ionization detection. Peppermint essential oil was found to contain 89 identifiable peaks by GC×GC compared to 30 peaks in the GC/MSD chromatogram. Likewise, 68 peaks were found in the GC×GC chromatogram of spearmint (compared to 28 in GC/MSD). Plots of the first dimension versus second dimension retention times provided a fingerprint of the two essential oils, which revealed 52 similar compounds between the two essential oils as opposed to 18 matches by 1D GC.

    Notes: ---A series-coupled ensemble of two capillary GC columns of different selectivity with an adjustable pressure at the column junction point is used to obtain tunable selectivity for high-speed GC and GC/TOFMS. An electronic pressure controller with a 0.1-psi step size is used to obtain numerous computer-selected unique selectivities. System configurations for conventional, atmospheric-pressure outlet operation with flame ionization detection and for vacuum-outlet operation with photoionization detection are described for GC-only experiments. Polydimethylsiloxane is used as the non-polar column and polyethylene glycol (atmospheric outlet) or triflouropropylpolysiloxane (vacuum outlet) is used as the polar column. For GC/TOFMS experiments, 5% phenyl polydimethylsiloxane was used as the non-polar column, and polyethylene glycol was used as the polar column. The time-of-flight mass spectrometer can acquire up to 500 complete mass spectra per second. Since spectral continuity is achieved across the entire chromatographic peak profile, severely overlapping peaks can be spectrally deconvoluted for high-speed characterization of completely unknown mixtures. For mixture components with significantly different fragmentation patterns, spectral deconvolution can be achieved for chromatographic peak separations of as little as 6.0 ms. This can result is very large peak capacity for time compressed (not completely resolved) chromatograms. The use of columns with tunable selectivity allows for precise peak-position control, which can result in more efficient utilization of available peak capacity and thus further time compression of chromatograms. The limits of tunability and deconvolution are tested for near co-elutions of different classes of hydrocarbon compounds as well as for more multi-functional mixtures.
