UNLABELLED Terbium offers 4 clinically interesting radioisotopes with complementary physical decay characteristics: (149)Tb, (152)Tb, (155)Tb, and (161)Tb. The identical chemical characteristics of these radioisotopes allow the preparation of radiopharmaceuticals with identical pharmacokinetics useful for PET ((152)Tb) and SPECT diagnosis ((155)Tb) and for α- ((149)Tb) and β(-)-particle ((161)T...

Single crystals of the title compound, NaTb(PO(3))(4), were obtained by solid-state reaction. This compound belongs to type II of long-chain polyphosphates with the general formula A(I)B(III)(PO(3))(4). It is isotypic with the NaNd(PO(3))(4) and NaEr(PO(3))(4) homologues. The crystal structure is built up of infinite crenelated chains of corner-sharing PO(4) tetra-hedra with a repeating unit of...

A novel, sensitive, and selective method has been developed for determination of p-aminobenzoic (PABA) and p-aminosalicylic (PAS) acids in the N-benzoyl-L-tyrosyl-PABA/ PAS test. PAS is measured as a ternary complex with terbium and EDTA (lambda(ex) = 324 nm, lambda(em) = 546 nm) in alkaline aqueous solution (pH approximately 12.6), whereas both compounds (PABA and PAS) are measured as ternary ...

Objective: Previous studies indicated anti-inflammatory effects for Portulaca oleracea in various inflammatory disorders. In this study, the effects of P. oleracea on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of total protein (TP), Phospholipase A2(PLA2) and IgE in sensitized rats were examined. Materials and Methods: Male rats were randomly divided into six groups namely, control (group C), s...

In the centrosymmetric binuclear title complex, [Dy(2)(C(9)H(9)O(3))(6)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)], the two Dy(III) ions are linked by four 2-phen-oxy-propionate (L) groups through their bi- and tridentate bridging modes. Each Dy(III) ion is nine-coordinated by one 1,10-phenanthroline mol-ecule, one bidentate carboxyl-ate group and four bridging carboxyl-ate groups in a distorted DyN(2)O(7) monocapped ...

fractional exhaled nitric oxide (feno) has been suggested as a non-invasive biomarker of airway inflammation, which is increased in atopic subjects. whether sensitization to particular allergens is a predictive factor for increased feno levels is not yet fully understood. we conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study. from october to december in 2015, the medical documents of 127 mild, ste...

We have measured magnetic fields up to 17.7 T with a rise time of 75 ns using temporally resolved Faraday rotation of a single longitudinal mode laser beam through a magneto-optically active bulk waveguide. We believe this to be the first time that such large, rapidly varying magnetic fields have been measured with this class of materials (multicomponent terbium borate glass). As there was no m...
