| synthesis and purification of radioactive fatty acylcarnitines of high specific activity. | micromole quantities of radiolabeled fatty acylcarnitines of high specific activity were synthesized by a simple one-step, one-pot acylation of [3h]carnitine in the presence of the respective fatty acid and acid chloride. the acylated product was isolated in high yield and high purity using liquid-liquid partitioning with isopropanol:hydrochloric acid:heptane (4:1:12 v/v) followed by butanol extraction. product recovery was 91% for octanoyl[3h]carnitine and 90% for palmitoyl[3h]carnitine and con ... | 2007 | 1952050 |

| autokinetic illusion as affected by suggestions of experimenter and observer. | two experiments were done to examine whether an experimenter's suggestion and self-suggestion could affect the autokinetic illusion and to specify that effect. exp. i compared the effect of a facilitative suggestion with a suppressive one, by measuring the moving latency, duration, frequency, and by analyzing the movement trace. time and frequency did not detect any effects of marked individual differences. trace analysis, on the other hand, showed that suggestions were effective in the expected ... | 2007 | 1852560 |
| effectiveness of fortnightly tooth brushing with amine fluorides in caries-prone subjects. | the aim of this study was to assess the caries incidence and plaque accumulation in schoolchildren at caries risk, after brushing the teeth fortnightly with gels containing 0, 0.4% f, 1.25% f as amine fluoride (amf) or the common amine fluoride toothpaste containing 0.125% f. the study was conducted double blind over an 18-month period, and after 6 months discontinuation of brushing. only the group that brushed with the 1.25% amf gel showed a significant decrease in caries development compared t ... | 2007 | 1890532 |
