Abstract: The present application provides a method for the separation and determination of 5-hydroxycreatinine (5-HC), comprising the step of subjecting a sample to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation using a strongly acidic cation-exchange resin and a separation solvent having a pH of 4.1-4.6. By this method practically measurable 5-HC concentrations of as low as 0.02  mu M are achieved, and the method can be performed in a short period of time using only one single separation solvent. This allows for practical applications which have been impossible with the conventional methods, and renders the present method a useful tool in an improved test for the detection of e.g. renal function disorders, such as renal failure, diabetic nephropathy and nephritis, and also as a marker for systemic oxidative stress.

Abstract: A method and the corresponding devices are disclosed for transmitting control information on a control channel associated with a traffic channel. The traffic channel is determined to be either a full- or half rate channel or a quarter rate channel. As a response to determining the traffic channel to be a full- or half rate channel, a control information block of fixed size is transformed into a first number of control information bursts which are all transmitted. As a response to determining the traffic channel to be a quarter rate channel, a control information block of said fixed size is transformed into a second number of control information bursts, where said second number is smaller than the first number. Said second number of control information bursts are transmitted. It is checked, whether a retransmission is requested concerning said second number of transmitted control information bursts. If a retransmission is requested concerning said second transmitted control information bursts, another number of control information bursts is transmitted describing the contents of the control information block which was transformed into said second number of transmitted control information bursts.
