Abstract High levels of urea and creatinine in the blood are a sign of decreased kidney function. To remove these substances from the blood, hemodialysis which utilizes membranes could be used. In this study, a molecularly imprinted membrane (MIM) was synthesized for the selective transport of urea. The synthesis is initiated with the polymerization of eugenol into polyeugenol and then into polyeugenoxy acetate (PA). The PA is then contacted with urea and then used as the functional polymer in the synthesis of MIM with polysulfone as the membrane base, and polyethylene glycol as the cross-linking agent. The result was later analyzed with FTIR and SEM-EDX. The membrane is then used in the transport of urea, creatinine, and vitamin B12 and then compared with the non-imprinted membrane (NIM) performance. By using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, the results showed that the membrane with 10 h heating variation is able to transport more urea and is more selective than NIM; this proves that the urea template on the MIM enables it to recognize urea molecules better than creatinine and vitamin B12. The order of transport from the best results is urea > creatinine > vitamin B12.

Mit einem fokussierenden Spektrographen großer Dispersion wird die Lage der K-Röntgen-absorptionskante des Kobalts in verschiedenen Verbindungen untersucht. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß es möglich ist, durch Bestimmung der Kantenlage die Wertigkeit des Kobalts in einer Verbindung zu bestimmen. Die Methode gestattet den eindeutigen Nachweis, daß das Kobalt im Vitamin B12 dreiwertig ist.

As the first part of an investigation of the nutritive value of cod liver, two methods of preparation of cod liver residue were studied, as well as the effect of drum drying the residue, with and without the presence of sodium bisulphite, defatting the dried residue and extracting vitamin B12 from the dried residue.It was found that Vandenheuvel's method of preparation of residue produces very good results. The fresh residue could be dried without appreciable loss of vitamin B12 activity on a double drum dryer, operated with steam at 20 p.s.i.g. Sodium bisulphite afforded some protection during the drying. The most satisfactory results in defatting were obtained by extraction with dichloroethylene. Concentrates with vitamin B12 activity equivalent to 2–4 micrograms per milliliter were produced by extraction of dried, defatted residue with water and evaporation in vacuo.Five different types of residue were prepared for further studies.

Background: Dengue is an acute infectious febrile illness characterised by thrombocytopenia and platelet dysfunction leading to bleeding manifestations. Vitamin B12 is required for platelet production in the bone marrow. So, deficiency of vitamin B12 in dengue patients can have severe thrombocytopenia. Aims and Objective: Study was aimed to know the clinical profile of dengue fever patients and to correlate serum vitamin B12 level with severity of thrombocytopenia, platelet transfusion and duration of hospital stay. Materials and Methods: This observational study was done on dengue patients for period of 3 months January 2020 to March 2020. Confirmed cases of dengue fever with NS 1 Ag positive & Ig M antibody positive were included in the study. Patient with sepsis, underlying malignancy, autoimmune disorder, hematological disorder, drugs causing thrombocytopenia were excluded from the study. Appropriate statistical methods were applied. Results: Total 50 subjects were included. Majority of subjects were in the age group 31 to 40 years. 50% were males and females respectively. Most common clinical feature was fever and bleeding manifestations. Mean Vitamin B12 was significantly lower among those with severe thrombocytopenia and highest among those with no thrombocytopenia., there was significant difference in mean Platelet transfusion and duration of hospital stay with respect to severity of Platelet count. Conclusion: Dengue fever patients with vitamin B 12 deficiency had moderate to severe thrombocytopenia and more bleeding manifestations. Those patients required more platelet transfusion and increased duration of hospital stay.

In neun Proben der einzelligen Zuchtalge Scenedesmus obliquus, geerntet aus nicht-sterilen Freilandkulturen, wurden Gehalte von Vitamin B12 von 0,02 —1,7 γ/g Trockensubstanz festgestellt. Diese lagen somit wenigstens zwanzig- bis fünfzigmal höher als die von Grünblatt höherer Pflanzen, in denen bisher höchstens Spuren von Vitamin B12 gefunden wurden.Mit den in fünf Chargen gefundenen Werten an Vitamin E von 111—183 γ/g Trockensubstanz entsprach unsere Alge Scenedesmus obliquus etwa Spinat und Weizenkeimlingen, also Pflanzenprodukten mit einem überdurchschnittlichen Gehalt an Vitamin E. Weit überlegen ist sie in dieser Hinsicht tierischen Produkten, z. B. der Milch.Da wir in früheren Studien auch einen sehr hohen biologischen Eiweißwert für das Wachstum der Ratte fanden, muß die Zuchtalge Scenedesmus obliquus, jedenfalls in getrocknetem Zustand, als ein neues interessantes Material von sehr hohem diätetischem Wert angesehen werden, das in seinem ernährungsphysiologischen Verhalten günstige Eigenschaften von tierischen und pflanzlichen Produkten in sich vereinigt.Es ergaben sich keine Anhaltspunkte dafür, den hohen biologischen Wert für das Wachstum nicht in erster Linie dem (verdaulichen) Eiweiß selbst zuzuschreiben und nicht dem Vitamin B12 und Vitamin E der Scenedesmus-Alge.

In the synthesis of cobyric acid following an arduous 60-step synthesis of the tetrapyrrole corrigenolide, Woodward demonstrated that ring cyclization yielded unexpectedly the corrin cyclic ether (Fig. 2). Its structure was chosen as the chemistry logo for the 1970 IUPAC meeting. It was a reminder that chemistry can be capricious and beautiful. This article is a tribute to the 50-year career in porphyrins of Professor Kevin M. Smith and describes his early contributions with colleagues in the synthetic quest of a related porphyrin molecule, vitamin B12 (Fig. 1a).

Two kinds of vitamin B12 waste water from a pharmaceutical factory were treated separately by methods of combining micro-electrolysis with physiochemical and O3 oxidation. Effects of the reaction conditions on the removal rate of color were investigated. Results showed that the color removal rate of vitamin B12 waste water, which was treated by combined micro-electrolysis and physiochemical treatment reached 71.25%, while the color removal rate of the other waste water which treated by O3 oxidation reached 68.80%. The decolorizing treatment of those different natures of vitamin B12 waste water effectively provides a useful reference for this kind of waste water.
