abstract in order to assess the availability of phosphorous (p), different methods have been proposed in the last decades. the results of these methods in soils with various ph, calcium carbonate, organic matter, al and fe oxides and hydroxides and other properties especially in iranian soils can not be used. in addition, knowledge about transformation of p forms is necessary for perception of ...

Recombinant anti‑epidermal growth factor receptor‑internalizing arginine‑glycine‑aspartic acid (anti‑EGFR single‑domain antibody fused with iRGD peptide) protein efficiently targets the EGFR extracellular domain and integrin αvβ/β5, and shows a high penetration into cells. Thus, this protein may improve penetration of conjugated drugs into the deep zone of gastric cancer multicellular 3D sphero...

This report summarises national passive surveillance data collated in the Adverse Drug Reactions Advisory Committee (ADRAC) database at 30 September 2006 for adverse events following immunisation (AEFI) reported for children aged less than 7 years who received vaccines between 1 January and 30 June 2006.1–3 It is the fi rst full reporting period for AEFI data following the introduction of a new...

Using the methods of soil analysis and geostatistics combined with GIS, this paper determined and mapped the spatial distribution of soil DTPA-extractable copper (Cu) in cultivated fields of Shenyang suburbs of China, aimed to assess the roles of industries and agricultural managements in affecting the spatial heterogeneity of soil Cu in this region. The results showed that the soil DTPA-extrac...

The synthesis and characterization of two novel DTPA bisamide derivatives DTPA-BC12PheA and DTPA-BC14PheA functionalized with p-dodecylaniline and p-tetradecylaniline are described. The ligands were coordinated to Gd(iii) and Eu(iii), resulting in highly paramagnetic and luminescent complexes, respectively. Mixed micelles consisting of Gd/Eu-DTPA-BC12PheA and DTPA-BC14PheA with a homogeneous si...

Biocompatible gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are particularly interesting for photo-thermal therapy (PTT) of cancer treatment because their ability to convert light into heating efficiently. Nevertheless, the random accumulation AuNPs in tissues, mainly determined by retention time bloodstream, is one main limiting factors use PTT applications. For this reason, efficient targeting and monitoring se...

Luminescent lanthanide complexes consisting of a lanthanide-binding chelate and organic-based antenna molecule have unusual emission properties, including millisecond excited state lifetimes and sharply spiked spectra, compared to standard organic fluorophores. We have previously used carbostyril (cs124, 7-amino-4-methyl-2(1H)-quinolinone) as an antenna molecule (Li and Selvin, J. Am. Chem. Soc...

OBJECTIVES The objectives of the study were to assess the imaging features of hypovascular borderline lesions containing hypervascular foci on gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA)-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to evaluate the ability of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI to diagnose high-risk borderline lesions possibly consistent with early hepatocell...

Aqueous complexation of Th(IV), U(IV), Np(IV), Pu(III/IV), and Ce(III/IV) with DTPA was studied by potentiometry, absorption spectrophotometry, and cyclic voltammetry at 1 M ionic strength and 25 °C. The stability constants for the 1:1 complex of each trivalent and tetravalent metal were calculated. From the potentiometric data, we report stability constant values for Ce(III)DTPA, Ce(III)HDTPA,...

OBJECTIVES To examine the contents of intraosseous cysts in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through the signal intensity characteristics on gadolinium-DTPA (Gd-DTPA) enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. METHODS The hand or foot joints of nine patients with the cystic form of RA (where the initial radiological abnormality consisted of intraosseous cysts without erosions) were imaged be...
