In order to evaluate the elimination of CO through the lung comparing with the decrease of CO content in the blood, authors had induced acute CO poisoning on 9 dogs. Arterial CO-Hb saturation, CO concentration, %, in expired gas and eliminated CO amount through the lung were measured at 1,5,10,30,60, and 120 minutes after acute CO poisoning in 6 dogs breathing room air and 3 dogs breathing room air and oxygen alternately. Results obtained are summarized as follows. In room air breathing group, arterial CO-Hb saturation averaged 50.8% , and 53.67 ml of CO was blew off through the lung during 120 minutes and in alternately air and oBygen breathing group, the arterial CO-Hb saturation averaged 65.6% and 95.6 ml of CO was blew off through the lung. The amount of CO eliminated in expired gas for 120 minute was much less than the amount of decreased CO in arterial blood which was calculated with the decreased CO-Hb content in the estimated circulating blood volume. Such difference between the amount of eliminated CO in expired gas and the decreased CO in blood might be attributed to the oxidation of CO to $CO_2$ in the tissues. Concentration of CO in expired gas was markedly increased and the rate of decrease in arterial CO-Hb saturation is enhanced by oxygen breathing. In early period of recovery from acute CO poisoning, neither the CO concentration in expired gas, nor, the rate of CO elimination (unlit 2 minutes after CO poisoning) showed close correlation with the blood CO-Hb saturation level. The reason seemed to be due to irregularly depressed or unevenly stimulated respiration which were induced by acute CO poisoning.

Changes in elimination behavior, including urination and defecation, are common clinical signs of numerous disorders in cats. Therefore, this study attempted to automatically measure the elimination behavior of cats using the litter box and develop an early warning system for the guardian in case of abnormalities. To construct an early warning system for abnormal changes through cat elimination behavior, it consisted of a litter box, an automatic sensor for data collection and data wifi transmission, a server for data analysis, and a mobile phone app for result transmission and early warning. To establish the reference interval (RI), the elimination behavior was monitored for more than 2 weeks using a motion sensor within a litter box in 37 healthy cats and 19 diseased cats. The data were expressed as daily total visits, daily total stay duration, average stay duration per elimination, weekly total visits, and weekly total stay duration. Healthy cats showed median daily total visits of 3 times/day (RI 1.0-7.0) and daily total stay duration of 192 s/day (RI 8.0-452.0). For weekly data, the median total visits were 20 times/week (RI 3.0-35.25) and the median total stay duration was 1,147 s/week (RI 80.0-2,249.5). The average stay duration per elimination was 59 s/elimination (RI 4.67-132.0). Diseased cats showed more frequent elimination behavior than healthy cats (p < 0.001). Otherwise, for each elimination, diseased cats had shorter stay durations than healthy cats (p < 0.001). This study established the RIs of elimination behavior parameters (frequency and duration) in healthy cats. The present study might help guardians and veterinarians detect changes in elimination behaviors in diseased cats at an early stage.

Four coordinated rhodium(Ⅰ) complexes, Rh($ClO_4$)(CO)$(PPh_3)_2$ and [$Rh(CO)(PPh_3)_3$]$ClO_4$(2) catalyze the iosmerization of allylic alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds at room temperature under nitrogen. The isomerization is faster with 2 than with 1, which is understood in terms of relative ease of the last step of the catalytic cycle, the reductive elimination of enol. Relative rates of the isomerization with 1 and 2 for different allylic alcohols are also explained by the relative ease of the enol elimination step in part. The first step of the catalytic cycle, the complex formation of the allylic alcohol through the ${\pi}-system$ of the olefinic group of the allylic alcohol and the following step, formation of hydridoallyl complex also seem to affect the overall rate of the isomerization.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aspirin (5, 10, 20 mg/kg) on the pharmacokinetics of metformin $(15\;mg/kg)$ in rabbits. The plasma concentration of metformin was decreased significantly (p<0.05) by co-administration of aspirin (10, 20 mg/kg) compared with control. Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) of metformin was decreased significantly (p<0.05) by co-administration of aspirin (10, 20mg/kg) compared with control. Relative bioavailability $(R.B\%)$ of metformin by co-administration was 79.3 (5 mg/kg), 57.5 (10 mg/kg) and 62.5 (20 mg/kg). Peak plasma concentration of metformin was significantly (p<0.05) decreased by co-administration of aspirin (10, 20 mg/kg) compared with control. The elimination rate constant $(K_{el})$ of metformin was increased by co-administration of aspirin (10, 20 mg/kg) compared with control. The terminal half-lifes $(t_{1/2})$ and mean resident time (MRT) of metformin by co-administration of aspirin (10, 20 mg/kg) were decreased significantly (p<0.05) compared with control. It is considered that the significantly decreased plasma concentration and AUC of metrormin is due to increase of elimination in urine acidified by co-administration of aspirin. The results suggest that the dosage of metformin should be adjusted when metformin is co-administered with aspirin in the clinical situation.

Me3NO selectively abstracts the proton from [IrH(CO)(PPh3)2L(A)]0.1+,2+ (1) (A: -CCPh, Cl-, CH3CN and L: CH3CN, Cl-, C1O4-) to give the trans-elimination products, Ir(CO)(PPh3)2(A) (2). The reductive elimination of H+ and Cl- from Ir(H)Cl2(CO)(PPh3)2 (lb) to give IrCl(CO)(PPh3)2 (2b) is first order in both lb and Me3NO. The rate law d[2b]/dt=kobs[lb]=k2[lb][Me3NO] suggests the formation of (PPh3)2(CI)2(CO)Ir-H-ON+Me3 in the rate determining step (k2) followed by the fast dissociation of both H-ON+Me3 and the trans ligand Cl-. The rate significantly varies with the cis liaand A and the trans ligand L and is slower with both A and L being Cl- than other ligands. Me3NO selectively eliminates CO from [Ir(H)2(CO)(PPh3)2L]0,+ (3) (L=CH3CN, C1O4-) to produce [Ir(H)2(PPh3)2L'(CH3CN)]+ (4) (L'=CH3CN, PPh3) in the presence of L. Me3NO does not readily remove either H+ or CO from cis, trans- and trans, trans-lr(H)(-CCPh)2(CO)(PPh3)2 and cis, trans-Ir(H)2Cl(CO)(PPh3)2. The choice whether hydridocarbonyls, 1 and 3 undergo the deprotonation or decarbonylation may be understood mostly in terms of thermodynamic stability of the products and partly by kinetic preference of Me3NO on proton and CO.

Catalytic isomerization of unsaturated alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds with$Rh(ClO_4)(CO)(PPh_3)_2\;(1)\;and\;[Rh(CO)(PPh_3)_3]ClO_4$ (2) is faster under hydrogen (where hydrogenation also occurs to give saturated alcohols) than under nitrogen. The isomerization under hydrogen seems to occur through an alkylhydridorhodium(III) complex which also undergoes reductive elimination to give hydrogenation products, saturated alcohols. The isomerization under hydrogen is faster with 2 than with 1, which is understood by acceleration of the last step, enol formation by $PPh_3$ dissociated from 2 and present in the reaction mixture when 2 is used as catalyst. Relative rates of the isomerization observed for different unsaturated alcohols are interpreted by steric effects of substituted groups and numbers of hydrogens to be abstracted by the rhodium of the intermediate, alkylhydridorhodium(III) to undergo the reductive elimination to give enol which is then rapidly converted into a carbonyl compound. It has been observed that the hydrogenation is relatively significant when reactions occur slowly whereas the isomerization is predominant when reactions proceed rapidly.

Background: The separation of isomeric compounds from a mixture is a recurring problem in chemistry and phytochemistry research. The purification of pharmacologically active ginsenoside Rb₃ from ginseng extracts is limited by the co-existence of its isomer Rb₂. The aim of the present study was to develop an enzymatic elimination-combined purification method to obtain pure Rb₃ from a mixture of isomers. Methods: To isolate Rb₃ from the isomeric mixture, a simple enzymatic selective elimination method was used. A ginsenoside-transforming glycoside hydrolase (Bgp2) was employed to selectively hydrolyze Rb₂ into ginsenoside Rd. Ginsenoside Rb₃ was then efficiently separated from the mixture using a traditional chromatographic method. Results: Chromatographic purification of Rb₃ was achieved using this novel enzymatic elimination-combined method, with 58.6-times higher yield and 13.1% less time than those of the traditional chromatographic method, with a lower minimum column length for purification. The novelty of this study was the use of a recombinant glycosidase for the selective elimination of the isomer. The isolated ginsenoside Rb₃ can be used in further pharmaceutical studies. Conclusions: Herein, we demonstrated a novel enzymatic elimination-combined purification method for the chromatographic purification of ginsenoside Rb₃. This method can also be applied to purify other isomeric glycoconjugates in mixtures.

Rhodium(I) and iridium(II) complexes, M(Cl$O_4$)(CO)$(PPh_3)_2$ and [M(CO)$(PPh_3)_3$]Cl$O_4$ (M = Rh, Ir), and RhX(CO)$(PPh_3)_2$ (X = Cl, Br, OH) catalyze the carbonylation of benzyl alcohols to produce phenylacetic acids under 6 atm of CO at $110^{\circ}C$ in deuterated chloroform. Benzyl alcohols initially undergo dehydration to give dibenzyl ethers which are then carbonylated to benzyl phenylacetates, and the hydrolysis of benzyl phenylacetate produces phenylacetic acids and benzyl alcohols. The carbonylation is accompanied with dehydrogenation followed by hydrogenolysis of benzyl alcohols giving benzaldehydes and methylbenzenes which are also produced by CO2 elimination of phenylacetic acids. Phenylacetic acid is also produced in the reactions of benzyl bromide with CO catalytically in the presence of Rh(Cl$O_4$)(CO)$(PPh_3)_2$ and $H_2O$, and stoichiometrically with Rh(OH)(CO)$(PPh_3)_2$ in the absence of $H_2O$.

In order to prevent drink-driving by detecting concentration of alcohol from driver's exhale breath, twenty chemical sensors fabricated. The one of purposes for sensor array which consists of those sensors is to discriminate between target gas(alcohol) and interference gases($CH_3CH_2OH$, CO, NOx, Toluene, and Xylene). Wilks's lambda was presented to achieve above purpose and optimal sensors were selected using the method. In this paper, step-wise sensor elimination based on Euclidean distance was investigated for selecting optimal sensors and compared with a result of Wilks's lambda method. The selectivity and sensitivity of sensor array were used for comparing performance of sensor array as a result of two methods. The data acquired from selected sensor were analyzed by pattern analysis methods, principal component analysis and Sammon's mapping to analyze cluster tendency in the low space (2D). The sensor array by stepwise sensor elimination method had a better sensitivity and selectivity compared to a result of Wilks's lambda method.
