Bisphenol A (BPA) is one of the most common industrial chemicals and known to exert endocrine disruption activity. The aim this study was quantification BPA in food stuffs on Greek market. applied liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method validated for linearity, limit quantification, accuracy, precision recovery. About 41.7% canned solid phase samples, 25.0% samples 43.8% soft drinks were positive. Mean concentrations (range) 33.4 ± 4.4 ng/g (4.90 0.64-66.0 8.6 ng/g) phase, 2.70 0.08...
Residues of fenthion and dimethoate pesticides were determined in organic conventional olive oils by liquid-liquid solid-phase extractions with subsequent gas chromatography mass spectrometric analysis. The oil samples collected from Crete during 1997-99. average concentrations 0.1222, 0.145 0.1702 mg x kg(-1), for 0.0226, 0.0264 0.0271 kg(-1) 1997, 1998 1999, respectively. 0.0215, 0.0099 0.0035 while they 0.0098, 0.0038 0.0010 All the contained residue levels lower than maximum according to...
Purpose: Quantitative evaluation of the lung parenchyma might be impaired or unreliable by use reduced-dose CT protocols. Aim study was to define threshold where reduced dose has significant impact on quantitative emphysema parameters. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with severe centrilobular underwent multidetector computed tomography (120 kV, 150 mAs). Original raw data were simulated using 10 mAs settings (10-100 SIMmAs). analysis provided volume, index, mean density, 4 volume...
Greek fermentation and distillation industries produce traditional spirit beverages, such as tsipouro tsikoudia, consumed both in bottles bulk quantities by the general population or tourists. The same spirits are also produced individuals at home since previous centuries, a part of local culture but mainly due to agricultural sector unique characteristics (small cultivation areas with great number farmers). In this study, concentrations carcinogenic compounds: ethanol acetaldehyde;...
Granulomatous inflammations, characterized by the presence of activated macrophages (MAs) forming epithelioid cell (EPC) clusters, are usually easy to recognize. However, in ambiguous cases use a MA marker that expresses selectively EPCs may be needed. Here, we report carboxypeptidase-M (CPM), MA-differentiation marker, is preferentially induced all granuloma types studied, but not resting MAs. As CPM expressed constitutively MAs, this allows utilization CPM-immunohistochemistry diagnostics...
The frequency and severity of crop protection product (pesticide) contamination peaches grown conventionally were compared with those by integrated management (ICM). peach samples (n = 150) collected preharvest (June-August 2001) from both conventional 55) ICM 95) cultivations the Pella Imathia districts Macedonia, Northern Greece. residue levels selected insecticides, fungicides acaricides in determined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry following solid-phase extraction. concentrations...
Selection environment affects plant behavior and response to selection. The objective of the present study was evaluation 17 quality quantity phenotypic characteristics six open-pollinated maize lines fifth cycle selection (C4), which performed by implementation honeycomb breeding, in two contrasting environments (A B). A: Florina, W. Macedonia (40o46' N, 21o22' E, altitude 705 m) B: Trikala, Thessaly (39o55' 21o64' 120 m), with about 4-10 oC higher temperatures than A. soil chemical...
