A versatile thin layer spectroelectrochemical cell employing specular reflection of the incident light beam from the electrode surface is described. Its application to in-situ uv–vis and FTIR characterization of the products of electrochemical reactions and to thin layer voltammetry and coulometry as well as conventional cyclic voltammetry is demonstrated for the oxidation of tetraphenylporphinatozinc in dichloroethane/tetrabutylammonium perchlorate solution. The advantages and disadvantages of this type of cell as compared to more conventional sandwich type optically transparent thin layer electrodes are discussed.

AbstractTwo meta-xylyl linked tetrakis-benzimidazolium salts (L1-L2) as multidentate ligands and two respective silver complexes (C1 and C2) were synthesized. A multistep reaction was done at room temperature, starting with simple benzimidazole and alkyl halides, going through precursors and salt formation by reflux and finally in situ deprotonation of tetrabenzimidazolium salts with Ag2O to yield respective tetra-nuclear Ag(I)-N-heterocyclic Carbene (NHC) complexes. Propyl and butyl groups were bonded at the terminal positions of tetra-azolium open chain salts. Characterization of compounds was done by analytical and spectroscopic techniques. On the basis of spectroscopic data, a chemical structure with open chains having four Ag(I) ions sandwiched between NHC layers was established. Potential of synthesized complexes (C1 & C2) for wound contraction was evaluated and compared with standard wound contraction gel. Percentage wound contraction of both complexes was found very close to that of standard drug used in parallel.

At the level of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract exists a consortium of living microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses, which represent the intestinal microbiota. This term, microbiota, comes from Greek, where ‘bios’ means ‘life’ and nowadays this is the right word to use, even if in the older literature the authors used the term microflora with the same meaning (Suchodolski, 2016). In order to describe the intestinal microbiota, there are more methods available, each of them having advantages and disadvantages. The aim of this literature study was to compare the data available regarding each method used for assessing the intestinal microbiota. Among the five methods available in the present to assess the intestinal microbiota, none of them is considered a gold standard. There are available cultural and non-cultural methods, each of them having the purpose to describe the intestinal resident bacterial populations. The most commonly used methods for characterization of the intestinal microbiota are represented by FISH- Fluorescence in situ hybridization, qPCR- quantitative real-time PCR, NGS- next-generation sequencing (e.g. 454- pyrosequencing, Illumine) and Metagenomics (shotgun sequencing of genomic DNA). In this review we made a comparison between the methods available for assessing the intestinal microbiota, showing that in the present there is not a golden standard for this and that the methods used have advantages and disadvantages.
