Phospholipids from the red cells of 85 children, both normal and belonging to various clinical groups, have been extracted and subjected to silica gel chromatography. The several phospholipids have been quantitated. The results have not proved to be useful in diagnosis and hence do not confirm earlier reports. The problems associated with analysis of phospholipids by this type of method are discussed.

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method has been developed for the determination of captan (N-trichloromethylthio-4-cyclohexene-1, 2-dicarboximide) and 2 metabolites, tetrahydrophthalimide (THPI) and tetrahydrophthalamic acid (THPMA), in milk and meat. The sample is extracted with ethyl acetate and is cleaned up by acetonitrile partition and silica gel chromatography where captan, THPI, and THPMA are separated. Captan is directly determined by GLC. THPI and THPMA are separately derivatized in an acetone solution of penta fluorobenzyl bromide. The resultant derivatives are purified separately on an Al2O3, column and quantitated by GLC, using an electron capture detector. Recoveries from milk samples fortified at 0.02–10 ppm ranged from 71 to 102%; recoveries from meat samples fortified at 0.04–10 ppm ranged from 75 to 99%.

Stimulation Of

Cow red cell glycolysis, which can be stimulated by a variety of purines and pyrimidines, was also found to be elevated by its own plasma. Dialyzed or charcoal-treated plasma could no longer stimulate glycolysis, suggesting that the stimulating factors may be purines or pyrimidines. Determination of purines or pyrimidines in plasma revealed the presence of xanthine (0.31 muM), hypoxanthine (0.60 muM), and adenosine (0.05 muM), as well as unknown compounds. A physiologic level of hypoxanthine, with or without xanthine and adenosine approximating their concentrations in plasma, resulted in the stimulation of cow red cell glycolytic rate by 16% (P less than 0.01). These findings suggest that plasma-borne purines may act on cow red cells in concert with as yet unidentified factors. Moreover, exchanging calf and cow plasmas produced no stimulatory effect on either calf or cow red cell glycolysis, suggesting that a) calf red cells lack some of the cellular components that respond to this stimulator and, b) only cow plasma contains this specific stimulator. In other species, including dog, cat, rabbit, rat, guinea pig, and human, stimulation of glycolysis by plasma was not observed.

Thermal Dilution

Intravenous administration of perfluorochemicals (PFC) will alter the density (rho)B, the gravimetric specific heat (c)B, and the volumetric specific heat (rho c)B of blood. Changes in hematocrit also influence (rho c)B. The calibration constant employed in the determination of cardiac output (CO) by thermal dilution depends inversely on (rho c)B. We estimate the effect of addition of PFC and changes in hematocrit on (rho c)B. Consider blood to be a mixture of red cells, emulsified PFC particles, and plasma. This leads to the equation: (rho c)cB = 0.96 - 0.11Hct - 0.48Fct. Here Hct and Fct are the fractional volume concentrations of red blood cells and PFC, and (rho c)cB is the calculated specific heat based on the actual composition of blood. CO can be corrected for changes in (rho c)B by the equation: (CO)c = [(rho c)sB/(rho c)cB](CO)o. Here (CO)o is the observed cardiac output, (rho c)sB is the standard specific heat of blood used in the calculation of (CO)o, and (CO)c is the corrected cardiac output. We have observed laboratory situations where the correction factors have been as high as 10%.
