Validated High-performance Liquid Chromatography Method for Degradation Study...BRNSS Publication Hub
A novel and basic reversed-phase liquid chromatographic strategy has been set up for the determination
of ursodeoxycholic corrosive and silymarin and studies its degradation pattern in pharmaceutical
dosage forms. Ursodeoxycholic acid and silymarin are used to control Type 2 diabetes. The proposed
work was performed on Young Lin (S.K) isocratic System UV Detector C18 column (150 mm ×
4.6 mm). A mixture of potassium phosphate, mobile phase in this method with a flow rate of 0.7 mL/
min (UV detection at 203 nm) and the method was validated as per the ICH guidelines. Forced
degradation studies were performed by exposing the drug ursodeoxycholic acid and silymarin to
acidic, alkaline, oxidation, and thermal stress degradations. The proposed reversed-phase-highperformance
liquid chromatography technique was observed to be powerful and particular, and
this strategy is reasonable for the measure of pharmaceutical dose frames and in addition kinetic
examinations.
The feature of the new general chapter 621 is that a column packed with small particles can be used if column length and particle ratio (L/dp) is kept constant between the designated and modified column. This enables high speed analysis of USP methods more than ever.

It is widely known that toxic metals can be found in some foods because they are naturally present in the Earth’s crust and can be released as pollutants into the water and soil used to grow food and through the food manufacturing and packaging processes. Exposure to these metals at an early age has been linked to developmental problems, behavior issues, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The levels of toxic metals in baby foods are therefore more of a concern and require strict safety controls from raw materials to finished products. In this work, we explore and discuss the applicability of the Shimadzu inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometer (Shimadzu ICPMS-2030) to the quantification of As, Cd, Hg and Pb in selected baby foods at this very low limit ranges.

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.

Richard's aventures in two entangled wonderlandsRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.Sérgio Sacani
The return of a sample of near-surface atmosphere from Mars would facilitate answers to several first-order science questions surrounding the formation and evolution of the planet. One of the important aspects of terrestrial planet formation in general is the role that primary atmospheres played in influencing the chemistry and structure of the planets and their antecedents. Studies of the martian atmosphere can be used to investigate the role of a primary atmosphere in its history. Atmosphere samples would also inform our understanding of the near-surface chemistry of the planet, and ultimately the prospects for life. High-precision isotopic analyses of constituent gases are needed to address these questions, requiring that the analyses are made on returned samples rather than in situ.
THE IMPORTANCE OF MARTIAN ATMOSPHERE SAMPLE RETURN.
GC Analysis of Residual Solvents in Pharmaceuticals (USP<467>)
1. GC Analysis of Residual
Solvents in Pharmaceuticals
(USP<467>)
Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, Columbia, MD
2. Introduction
Organic solvents are routinely used in manufacturing pharmaceutical products, yet the
presence of these compounds in the final products can be harmful to consumers.
Despite various techniques employed to remove these solvents, small quantities may
still remain in the final products, and are commonly known as residual solvents (RS).
These solvents are categorized into three classes based on their risks to human
health. The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has published test methods that utilize
static headspace sampling and gas chromatography followed by flame ionization
detection (GC/FID) to identify and control the level of RS class 1 and 2 (USP<467>).
This application note demonstrates the analyses of residual solvents as described in
USP<467> carried out with an HS-10 static headspace sampler and a Shimadzu GC-
2010 Plus Gas Chromatograph.
3. A Shimadzu GC-2010 Plus equipped with an advanced flow controller (AFC), a
split/splitless injector (SPL) and a Flame Ionization Detector (FID) was used for
this study. An HS-10 static headspace sampler with transfer line was used for
sample preparation and introduction into the GC through the SPL. A Rxi-624Sil
MS column (Restek #13870, G43 equivalent, 30m x 0.32mm x 1.8µm) and a
Stabilwax column (Restek #10624, G16 equivalent, 30m x 0.32mm x 0.25µm)
were used for the USP<467> Procedure A and Procedure B respectively.
Instrumentation
4. Standards and Sample Preparation
Class 1, Class 2 Mixture A and Class 2 Mixture B residual solvent standards were
purchased from Restek (Cat.# 36279, 36012 and 36280, respectively) and diluted with
DMSO (Sigma D4540, GC grade) and deionized water to make the standard stock
solutions following USP<467> procedures.
For analyses, standard solutions of Class 1, Class 2 Mixture A and Class 2 Mixture B
were prepared in 20 mL screw top headspace vials (Shimadzu, 220-94796-01) as
described in USP<467>.

6. Results – USP RS Class 1
There are five solvents in USP RS Class 1 Mixture. The USP<467> monograph
requires that the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of 1,1,1-trichloroethane is not less
than 5 and that the S/N of each peak is not less than 3 for Procedure A. For
Procedure B, which is used to confirm the results from Procedure A, the criteria is
that the S/N of benzene is not less than 5 and that the S/N of each peak is not
less than 3.
As shown in figures 1-2 and table 1, using HS-10 and GC-2010 Plus, all peaks in
Procedure A have a S/N above 7. And for Procedure B, the S/N was over 90 for
benzene and over 60 for all peaks.

8. Results – USP RS Class 2
Due to the large number of solvents in Class 2, the standards are divided into
three mixtures: A, B and C. Solvents in Class 2 Mixture C are not readily detected
by HS-GC; therefore, they must be evaluated using other methods.
The system suitability requirements for Class 2 Mixture A are that the resolution
between acetonitrile and methylene chloride (dichloromethane) is not less than
1.0 for Procedure A, and the resolution between acetonitrile and cis-1,2-
dichloroethene not be less than 1.0 for Procedure B.
As shown in Figures 3 and 4, using Shimadzu HS-10 with the GC-2010 Plus, the
resolution between acetonitrile and methylene chloride or cis-1,2-dichloroethene
is > 2.2 for both procedures. No criteria have been stated for Class 2 Mixture B.
Separation of the compounds in Class 2 Mixture B are shown in Figures 5 and 6.

14. Conclusion
In this study, USP<467> residual solvent analysis was carried out with a Shimadzu
HS-10 static headspace sampler and a GC-2010 Plus chromatograph. The results
show that all system suitability criteria have been satisfied. In addition, good
repeatability and linearity have been achieved.
