This study was designed to assess whether nucleic acid stains such as propidium iodide and Hoechst 33258 and the cytosolic stain eosin identified equivalent proportions of non-viable cells. Sub-samples of boar spermatozoa stored for up to 72 h, and frozen bull spermatozoa stored in straws and thawed before staining, were exposed to either propidium iodide or Hoechst 33258 alone or in combinatio...

UNLABELLED Transfer of the human sodium iodide symporter (hNIS) has been proposed as a new principle of cancer gene therapy. This study evaluates the iodide kinetics and dosimetry of iodide in hNIS-expressing thyroid carcinoma cells under optimized conditions. METHODS Using a bicistronic retroviral vector for the transfer of the hNIS and the hygromycin resistance gene, hNIS-expressing rat thy...

In the electrolyte application for dye sensitized solar cells, utilization of ionic liquids is getting highlights to replace volatile organic solvent thanks their low volatility, thermal and electrochemical stability. The iodide/triiodide redox preferred choice this application, hence numerous iodide-based have been explored reported. On contrary, transport properties triiodide based liquid oft...

The formation of germanium di-iodide was established by first pumping off the hydrogen, monogermane and hydrogen iodide from the reaction bulb and then adding an excess of hydriodic acid to the yellow residue in the bulb. This dissolved the substance and the filtered solution deposited, on cooling, yellow, feathery crystals6 of GeL. Some GeL was also present, this being formed by the dissociati...

a simple and efficient one-pot method for the preparation of aromatic iodides has been developed by sequential diazotization–iodination of aromatic amines employing sodium nitrite and sodium iodide in the presence of acidic ionic liquid n-methyl-2-pyrrolidonum hydrosulfate ([h-nmp]hso4). the diazonium salts that are formed by this ionic liquid are stable at room temperature and react rapidly wi...

IN 1944, Morton et al. observed that when 300 mg. of sheep thyroid slices were incubated in 3 cc. of a bicarbonate-Ringer medium to which various amounts of I as inorganic iodide had been added, inhibition of thyroxine and diiodotryosine formation occurred when the added I exceeded 20 gamma. The resemblance of this in vitro effect to the action of excess iodide in Graves' disease in man led us ...

The junior writer first broached the subject of intravenous injections of sodium iodide for the treatment of goitre with a view to testing:? (1) Whether sodium iodide orally was beneficial in cases of goitre. (2) Whether iodine is essential for the good functioning of the thyroid gland. (3) Whether the oral administration of sodium iodide could prevent the disease. He suggested that it might be...

BACKGROUND Placental transport of iodide is required for fetal thyroid hormone production. The sodium iodide symporter (NIS) mediates active iodide transport into the thyroid and the lactating mammary gland and is also present in placenta. NIS is competitively inhibited by thiocyanate from maternal smoking, but compensatory autoregulation of iodide transport differs between organs. The extent o...
