ABSTRACT

The use of an amperometric biosensor for rapid salicylate determination in blood is described. Photolitography was used to make gold electrodes on a polyester film. The plastic microcell was characterized using cyclic voltammetry to demonstrate the electrochemical performance of the system. The biosensor was constructed by immobilizing salicylate hydroxylase onto the working electrode of the plastic electrochemical microcell. The optimized working conditions were 0.1 mol L(-1) phosphate buffer at pH 7.6 with 0.5 mmol L(-1) of NADH and 300 mV vs. Au as the applied potential. The resulting biosensor exhibited a high sensitivity (97.4 nA/mmol L(-1) salicylate) and an adequate linear response range (1.2x10(-4) to 1.0x10(-3)mol(-1)). The biosensor performance was verified by determining salicylate in spiked blood samples and the results were statistically equivalent to the values obtained from the standard Trinder spectrophotometric method, with a 95% confidence level. This study shows the potential development of a portable, inexpensive and disposable device for point-of-care monitoring.

ABSTRACT

O objetivo do presente trabalho foi estudar o papel desempenhado pelo rim na retencao de sodio e agua na insuficiencia cardiaca em caes com fistulas arterio-venosas femorais atraves de medidas de clearance e hemodinamica. Vinte e sete caes foram estudados em hidropenia e em diurese aquosa, 96 horas apos a realizacao de fistulas arterio-venosas femorais bilaterais, em 3 periodos: 1) fistulas abertas; 2) fistulas fechadas e 3) fistulas reabertas. Os animais retinham sal e agua e desenvolveram edema no periodo em que as fistulas estavam abertas. Quando as mesmas foram fechadas ocorreu uma maior diurese, natriurese, com aumento da excrecao urinaria de fosfato e do aporte distal de solutos, sugerindo uma diminuicao da reabsorcao proximal de sodio e agua. Apos a reabertura das fistulas, observou-se um aumento da reabsorcao de sodio pelos segmentos distais do nefron, sugerido pela elevacao da excrecao de agua livre por unidade de aporte de solutos. Estes achados nao foram acompanhados por alteracoes da distribuicao do fluxo sanguineo renal cortical. Em conclusao, a retencao de sodio e agua na insuficiencia cardiaca congestiva produzida por fistulas arterio-venosas se deve a um aumento da reabsorcao de sodio pelos segmentos distais do nefron e nao e devida a uma redistribuicao do fluxo sanguineo renal cortical.
