RESUMO
A 1-year-old baby with phylloid-type pigmentary mosaicism, hypotonia, ambiguous genitalia, and a positive screening test for congenital adrenal hyperplasia was referred. Previous sonograph, cytogenetics, and metabolic profile were inconclusive, therefore we performed an additional karyotype and a molecular cytogenetics studies. A mosaic karyotype 45,X/46,X,der(Y)t(Y;14) was characterized in peripheral blood. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia genes were sequenced and the results were negative. The ambiguous genitalia was the result of the special gonosomal mosaicism. The low level of trisomy 14 led to minor physical characteristics and mild mental retardation; also, Turner syndrome features can be expected rather than severe trisomy 14 stigmata.
RESUMO
A rapid and simple high performance liquid chromatographic method is described and validated for the determination of lobenzarit disodium (CAS 64808-48-6) in a sustained release tablet formulation. The calibration graph was linear over the range 20-105 micrograms/ml. The sensitivity (discriminator capacity) was 2.079 micrograms/ml. The coefficient of variations for repeatability and reproducibility were less than 1.60% and 1.30%, respectively. The accuracy of the method did not depend on lobenzarit concentration in tablets. The mean recovery was found to be 100.62%. The method was selective, even when degradation products were present.
