A sensitive silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) enhanced chemiluminescence (CL) method is reported for the determination of mandelic acid (MA). This method is based on the luminol-KIO₄ system catalyzed by Ag NPs to produce CL spectra. Prepared Ag NPs were characterized by UV-visible spectra and TEM image. Under optimal condition, CL spectra of the system were responded linearly with the concentration of MA in the range of 2.5×10^-9 to 2.0×10^-8 mol L^-1 (r=0.9989) with a detection limit of 1.2×10^-10 mol L^-1. The relative standard deviation of 1.0×10^-7 mol L^-1 MA was found 1.45 (n=9).

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between a simple method for measuring lipid peroxidation by using a chemiluminescence analyzer and traditional methods, such as 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances or peroxide value of solid food samples. Freeze-dried egg yolk powder was kept on $25^{\circ}C$, under dark condition. The peroxidation value was measured during certain storage period by using 3 methods, and the chemiluminescence value was compared with 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances or peroxide value. For comparison, 3 kinds of freeze-dried egg yolk were prepared from whole eggs purchased from a local market. The chemiluminescence value was significantly correlated with both the peroxide value and the 2-thiobarbituric acid related substances during storage, and showed a high correlation to the real sample test. It showed a little higher correlation with peroxide value. These results suggest that using a chemiluminescence analyzer may provide the ability to measure the lipid peroxidation of high lipid content solid-food samples, instead performing both the 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances test and measuring the peroxide value.

A chemiluminescent method with silver nanoparticles for determination of L-alanine has been presented. The chemilumiscence intensity was further enhanced by silver nanoparticles in the luminol system by its catalytic role. The silver nanoparticles enhanced chemiluminescent method is applicable for the determination of an amino acid such as alanine. When alanine was introduced to the luminol system with silver nanoparticles, chemiluminescence intensity was reduced with the concentration of the added alanine. The effects of pH, concentrations of luminol, hydrogen peroxide and silver nanoparticles on the chemiluminescence intensity were investigated. The calibration curve for L-alanine was linear over the range from 6.60×10^-8 M to 4.00×10^-7 M, coefficient of correlation was 0.996 and detection limit was 3.5×10^-9 M under the optimal conditions of 4.0×10^-3 M, 4.0×10^-2 M, 4.0×10^-4 M, 12.8 for the concentration of luminol, H₂O₂, silver nanoparticles and pH, respectively.

A molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized by radiation-induced polymerization (RIP), where the ferulic acid was used as a template molecule, 4-vinylpyridine as a monomer and ethylene glycoldimethacrylate (EGDMA) as a cross-linking monomer. The MIP was packed in a glass column using a slurry method for use in medium pressure liquid chromatography (MPLC). The MPLC column was tested for separation and purification of ferulic acid from the rice oil. When repeated three times, the MPLC separation/purification yielded the ferulic acid with the purity higher than ~99%. The chemiluminescence of the luminal (5-amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-phtalazinedione) measured on a potato disc slide (5.0 mm thick) was enhanced in the presence of ferulic acid, while, without the ferulic acid, the chemiluminescence of luminol on the potato slice disc was not observed, which suggests the ferulic acid obtained from the rice oil can be useful for immunoassay.

The objective of this study was to develop an in vitro assessment of sperm fertilizing capacity of bulls and investigate the factors influencing sperm function and characteristics of frozen-thawed bovine spermatozoa. in vitro fertilization (IVF), the evaluation of motility and normal morphology, HOST (hypoosmotic swelling test), Ca-ionophore induced acrosome reaction, luminol and lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence for the measurement of reactive oxygen species (ROS), the measurement of malondialdehyde formation for the analysis of lipid peroxidation (LPO), and the evaluation of DNA fragmentation using the method of 747-mediated nick end labelling (TUNEL) by flow cytometry were performed in frozen-thawed bovine spermatozoa. Correlations between the rates of fertilization, blastocyst formation after IVF and the values of respective assays were investigated. 1. IVF rate and blastocyst formation rate averaged 64.4% and 34.3% for spermatozoa from high -fertility bull group and averaged 18.5% and 6.2% for spermatozoa from low-fertility bull group, respectively. There were significantly different between two bull groups. Sperm motility and percentage acrosome reaction averaged 79.0% and 66.2% for spermatozoa from high-fertility bull group and averaged 40.7% and 22.9% for spermatozoa from low-fertility bull group, respectivitely. There were not different between two bull groups. 2. Luminol depenent chemiluminescence, LPO and DNA fragementation averaged 6.4, 2.0 nmol and 2.6% from spermatozoa from high-fertility bull group and averaged 6.5, 3.1 nmol and 7.4% for spermatozoa from low-fertility bull group, respectively. There were significantly different between two bull groups. There was no significant difference in lucigenin dependent chemiluminescence between two bull groups. 3. Fertilization rate was positively correlated with motility and the rate of Ca-ionophore induced acrosome reaction, but negatively correlated with the frequency of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence, the rate of LPO, and the percentage of sperm with DNA fragmentation. There was no correlation between fertilization rate and the percentage of swollen spermatozoa, normal morphology, and the frequency of lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence. 4. Blastocyst formation rate was positively correlated with the rate of Ca-ionophore induced acrosome reaction, but negatively correlated with the frequency of luminol-dependent chemiluminescence, the rate of LPO, and the percentage of sperm with DNA fragmentation. There was no correlation between blastocyst formation rate and motility, the percentage of swollen spermatozoa, normal morphology, and the frequency of lucigenin-dependent chemiluminescence. In conclusion, these data suggest that ROS significantly impact semen quality. The assays of this study may provide a basis fur improving in vitro assessment of sperm fertilizing capacity.

The rapid and spontaneous interaction between superoxide anion radical and nitric oxide to yield the potent oxidants. peroxynitrite artion and peroxynitrous acid, was investigated in phorbol myristate acetate(PMA)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophases by means of lucigenin- or luminol-enhanced chemiluminescence method. When RAW264.7 macrophages were stimulated by PMA. peroxynitrite-induced chemiluminescence was clearly observed. To prove observed chemiluminescencc due to the reaction between superoxide anion radical and nitric oxide produced by RAW264.7 macrophases, N-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO), a nitric oxide-releasing compound. superoxide dismutase(SOD), an enzyme removing superoxide anion radical by dismutating superoxide artion radical to hydrogen peroxide, and N-acethyl cysteine(NAC), a scarvenging reagent both superoxide artion radical and nitric oxide, were added in the cell system. Peroxynitrite- induced chemilumincscence was increased by exogenous addition of GSNO. whereas observed chemiluminescence was decreased by SOD and NAC. These results suggest that PMA-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages produce both superoxide anion radical and nitric oxide to form peroxynitrite.

Measurements of OH chemiluminescence in an atmospheric pressure, laboratory-scale dump combustor at equivalence ratios ranging from 0.63 to 0.89 were reported. The signal from the first electronically excited state of OH to ground state was detected through a band-pass filter with an ICCD. The objectives of this study are two: One is to see the effects of equivalence ratio on global heat release rate and local Rayleigh index distribution. To get the local Rayleigh index distribution, the line-of-sight images were inverted by tomographic method, such as Abel do-convolution. Another aim is to investigate the validity of using OH chemiluminescence acquired with an ICCD as a qualitative measure of local heat release. For constant inlet velocity and temperature, the overall intensities of OH emission acquired at different equivalence ratio showed periodic and higher value at high equivalence ratio. OH intensity averaged over one period of pressure increased exponentially with equivalence ratio. Local Rayleigh index distribution clearly showed the region of amplifying or damping the combustion instability as equivalence ratio increased. It could provide an information/insights on active control such as secondary fuel injection. Finally, local heat release rate derived from reconstructed OH images were presented fur typical locations.

A chemiluminescence method has been developed to determine vitamin $P_1$ in aqueous solution which is based on the enhancement of the intensity of lucigenin using lucigenin-$H_2O_2$ as chemiluminogenic system. The effects of experimental parameters such as concentrations of lucigenin, pH and concentrations of $H_2O_2$ were studied. The present method allows the determination of vitamin $P_1$ over the range $7.5{\times}10^{-6}{\sim}5.0{\times}10^{-4}mol/L$. The detection limit was $5.7{\times}10^{-7}mol/L$. The relative standard deviation was 0.75 % for 10 determinations of $7.5{\times}10^{-5}mol/L$ vitamin $P_1$. The correlation coefficient of the working curve was 0.9984 (S/N=3).
