    Description: Resveratrol, a phytoalexin found in grapes and other food products, was purified and shown to have cancer chemopreventive activity in assays representing three major stages of carcinogenesis. Resveratrol was found to act as an antioxidant and antimutagen and to induce phase II drug-metabolizing enzymes (anti-initiation activity); it mediated anti-inflammatory effects and inhibited cyclooxygenase and hydroperoxidase functions (antipromotion activity); and it induced human promyelocytic leukemia cell differentiation (antiprogression activity). In addition, it inhibited the development of preneoplastic lesions in carcinogen-treated mouse mammary glands in culture and inhibited tumorigenesis in a mouse skin cancer model. These data suggest that resveratrol, a common constituent of the human diet, merits investigation as a potential cancer chemopreventive agent in humans.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Jang, M -- Cai, L -- Udeani, G O -- Slowing, K V -- Thomas, C F -- Beecher, C W -- Fong, H H -- Farnsworth, N R -- Kinghorn, A D -- Mehta, R G -- Moon, R C -- Pezzuto, J M -- P01 CA48112/CA/NCI NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1997 Jan 10;275(5297):218-20.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy, College of Pharmacy, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60612, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8985016" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: There have been numerous recent observations of changes in the behavior and dynamics of migratory bird populations, but the plasticity of the migratory trait and our inability to track small animals over large distances have hindered investigation of the mechanisms behind migratory change. We used habitat-specific stable isotope signatures to show that recently evolved allopatric wintering populations of European blackcaps Sylvia atricapilla pair assortatively on their sympatric breeding grounds. Birds wintering further north also produce larger clutches and fledge more young. These findings describe an important process in the evolution of migratory divides, new migration routes, and wintering quarters. Temporal segregation of breeding is a way in which subpopulations of vertebrates may become isolated in sympatry.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bearhop, Stuart -- Fiedler, Wolfgang -- Furness, Robert W -- Votier, Stephen C -- Waldron, Susan -- Newton, Jason -- Bowen, Gabriel J -- Berthold, Peter -- Farnsworth, Keith -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2005 Oct 21;310(5747):502-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉School of Biology and Biochemistry, Medical Biological Centre, Lisburn Road, Queen's University Belfast, Belfast BT6 7BL, UK. s.bearhop@qub.ac.uk〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16239479" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Notes: A technique was developed for large volume sample introduction in capillary supercritical fluid chromatography. A 20-cm length of 200-μm i.d. capillary tubing was used as precolumn. The precolumn temperature could be easily controlled by passing an electrical current through an electrically conductive paint coated on its outer surface. During injection, the sample solvent was vented from the precolumn with CO2 (gas) at 32 atm, while the precolumn was kept at room temperature. Solutes were transferred onto the head of the analytical column as a narrow band by density gradient focussing, which was established with (a) a temperature gradient along the precolumn, (b) a rapid expansion of CO2 from supercritical fluid to gas, and (c) a temperature difference between the precolumn and the analytical column. This injection approach minimized solute mass discrimination and could be easily performed.

    Notes: Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) can greatly reduce the sample preparation time of analytes in solid matrices. The on-line coupling of SFE with high-speed gas chromatography (GC) can further reduce the total analysis time. SFE has been coupled to GC with a thermal desorption modulator (TDM) interface. A thermal energy analyzer (TEA), a chemiluminescence detector which is specific for nitro and nitroso compounds, has been coupled to the system to analyze explosives in soil samples.The use of organic modifiers to increase the solvation power of carbon dioxide was necessary for the extraction of various explosives, and did not adversely affect the performance of the system. Thermally labile compounds, however, such as the nitrate esters, were shown to decompose in the modulator before the chromatographic separation.This method allows for the rapid analysis of relatively volatile and thermally stable nitro compounds from solid matrices. The system can be used for screening small samples in short periods of time. Total analysis can be completed in less than 10 minutes and requires only 200 mg of soil. The minimum detectable quantity for the analysis of 2,4-DNT was found to be 2.6 ppb in an actual soil sample.

    Notes: A coupled supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) and high-speed gas chromatography (GC) system was developed which permits simultaneous sample extraction and analysis. A thermal desorption modulator at the head of a 50-μm i.d. capillary column was used as an interface between the SFE and GC. The extraction fluid was first split between the modulator and a waste collection vessel. The substances introduced into the modulator were concentrated in the stationary phase and then released as a sharp injection pulse to the analytical column by electrical resistance heated thermal desorption. The modulator was operated at 10-s time intervals, which generated consecutive concentration pulses to the column. These concentration pulses were separated into individual chromatograms by high-speed GC. A set of chromatograms could be generated while the extraction proceeded. With this system, the extractant was sampled continuously so that the SFE process could be monitored in real time for selected components. Quantitative results could be extrapolated before extraction was complete from curves obtained by signal averaging of segmented chromatograms from the set.

    Notes: A radio frequency plasma detector for element specific detection in gas chromatography is described. The detector is comprised of a radio frequency (300 kHz) discharge between electrodes in helium, and utilizes a low-resolution emission spectrometer to monitor selected spectral emission lines produced when the helium discharge decomposes and excites the atomic constituents in the chromatographic column effluent. The spectrometer is tuned to an atomic emission line in the near-infrared portion of the spectrum, and the emission intensity from the discharge region of a selected line is used to monitor the concentration of the element producing that line. Acceptable detector sensitivity was achieved by the use of a high-throughput optical system. Selectivity was achieved by a combination of correct line selection, plasma and carrier gas purification, and plasma gas doping.
