Ultrastructural alterations of skeletal muscle have been observed in adult chronic alcoholic patients. However, no such study has been performed on individuals prenatally exposed to ethanol. In order to determine if ethanol exposure in utero in the latter stages of muscle development was deleterious, skeletal muscle was obtained from newborn guinea pigs treated in the following manner. Six Hartly strain pregnant guinea pigs were randomly assigned to either the ethanol or the pair-intubated groups. Twice daily the 3 ethanol-treated animals were intubated with Ensure (Ross Laboratories) liquid diet containing 30% ethanol (6g/Kg pre-pregnant body weight per day) from day 35 of gestation until parturition at day 70±1 day. Serum ethanol levels were determined at 1 hour post-intubation by the Sigma alcohol test kit. For pair-intubation the Ensure diet contained sucrose substituted isocalorically for ethanol. Both food and water intake were monitored.

The development of a sensitive alpha-NaYF4:Yb3+, Er3+ solid-phase upconverting platform (UCP) has been realized using Moringa oleifera leaf extract for selective detection of arsenic (As III) contamination in drinking water. The presence of polyphenols in the leaves extract is shown to induce luminescence resonance transfer (LRET), diminishing thereby the Er3+ upconverting red and green emissions activated by 980 nm excitation. However, addition of As3+ species interrupts the LRET process and restores emission proportionately. This feature allows platform to selectively detect arsenic pollution in water below the safe limit of 10 ppt. The uniqueness of UCP lies in monitoring the As3+ contamination in samples containing heavy ions (Cd2+, Hg2+) as well, without apparent effect on the signal reproducibility. UCP is also found to be insensitive to other interfering ions like Pb2+, H2PO4-, F-, Cl-, Ca2+, Mg2+, Sn2+, Cr6+, Fe2+ and Co2+, if present.<br><br>
