ABSTRACTSeveral correlations have been reported between men’s testosterone (T) and other characteristics, e.g., T declines during the day, declines with obesity, and declines with advancing age. We asked if these relationships hold in older men when T is assayed from saliva. Here seven familiar correlations are tested among older American men, their salivary T measured by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Some correlations can also be tested among older British men, their salivary T assayed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS/MS), a technique noted for its specificity. Most of our attempts at replication failed in the American data but succeeded in the British data. We conclude that failure to replicate in Americans is likely due to inaccuracy of EIA values for T, and that most T correlations hold true in older men when salivary T is accurately measured by LC-MS/MS.

In the present environment of staggering technical innovations and increasing expectations of quality healthcare it is evident that we need to fine tune our diagnostic abilities in order to fulfil patients� demands for more efficient therapies and augmented quality of life. We are looking for current trends in clinical gynecology that make use of Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy, technology not yet employed in Romanian laboratories for the clinical practice but that is rapidly becoming the worldwide method of choice for accurate characterization of the hormonal milieu essential for the requirements of women healthcare.

Three oligostilbenes have been identified in stems extract of Dipterocarpus semivestitus through dereplication strategy. The stems extract was injected to liquid chromatography tandem mass spectroscopy. Two tetramer, hopeaphenol and hemsleyanol D, were identified by comparing their mass fragmentation patterns with in-house library. A trimer, a-viniferin was isolated by various separation techniques and its structure was confirmed by NMR analyses and comparison with published data.
