Single crystals of Mn 1.3 2Ni 0.85 Cu 0.83 BO 5 with the ludwigite structure were obtained by solution-melt method during spontaneous crystallization. The concentration copper, manganese and nickel ions was determined transmission microscopy. Manganese are included in compounds divalent trivalent states. study temperature field dependences showed that we have several magnetic transitions. first...

Introduction: Gamma radiations have used frequently at medical radiation centers for treatment of different cancers. This study aimed to consider possible alterations in level of serum zinc and selenium among nuclear medicine staff. Materials and Methods: This cross sectional study was carried out on 30 nuclear medicine staff and 10 individuals as control gr...

Non-stoichiometric nickel–copper manganites Ni Cu Mn h O were synthesized by thermal decomposition of x y 32x2y 3d / 4 41d mixed Ni Cu Mn C O , nH O oxalates in air at low temperature (623–673 K). X-ray diffraction showed that, x / 3 y / 3 (32x2y) / 3 2 4 2 for a nickel content x $ 0.1, the oxalates precipitated presented a mixed crystal structure up to a limit value of copper Ni extent, wherea...

In this study, a comparative analysis of metal-related neuronal vulnerability was performed in two brainstem nuclei, the locus coeruleus (LC) and substantia nigra (SN), known targets of the etiological noxae in Parkinson's disease and related disorders. LC and SN pars compacta neurons both degenerate in Parkinson's disease and other Parkinsonisms; however, LC neurons are comparatively less affe...

Abstract Innovations in water technology are needed to solve challenges of climate change, resource shortages, emerging contaminants, urbanization, sustainable development and demographic changes. In particular, conventional techniques wastewater treatment limited by the presence poorly biodegradable organic matter. Alternatively, recent Fenton, Fenton-like hybrid processes appear successful fo...

The contents of lead, cadmium, zinc, copper, iron, manganese, nitrites, and nitrates were determined in six species of cabbage of the cruciferous family obtained from different areas of Poland. The results were analyzed and compared in terms of the effect of local industrial (southern Poland, Katowice) or agricultural (southeastern Poland, Lublin) activities on the amounts of heavy metals in th...

In this work, we report on the development of a palladium-based, microfabricated point-of-care electrochemical sensor for the determination of manganese using square wave cathodic stripping voltammetry. Heavy metals require careful monitoring, yet current methods are too complex for a point-of-care system. Voltammetry offers an attractive approach to metal detection on the microscale, but tradi...

Four heteronuclear complexes Mn(CuL)2(SCN)2 (1), {[Mn(CuL)2(mu-dca)2].2H2O}n (2), Zn(CuL)2(SCN)2 (3), and [Fe(CuL)(N3)2]2 (4) incorporating macrocyclic oxamide ligands have been synthesized and structurally characterized. L is the dianion of diethyl 5,6,7,8,15,16-hexahydro-6,7-dioxodibenzo[1,4,8,11]-tetraazacyclotetradecine-13,18-dicarboxylate, and dca is the dicyanamide. The structure of 1 or ...

The lungs are directly exposed to higher oxygen concentrations than most other tissues. Increased oxidative stress is a significant part of the pathogenesis of obstructive lung diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, parenchymal lung diseases (e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and lung granulomatous diseases), and lung malignancies. Lung tissue is protected against ...
