2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid is(pbtc) a member of phosphonate family, and used as corrosion and scale inhibitor in cooling water systems. phosphonocarboxylates as a member of organophosphorus compounds have c-p and p-o bonds in their structures. pbtc is mainly used as carbonate scale inhibitor (caco3), sulphate scale inhibitor (caso4), corrosion inhibitor of low alloyed steel, eff...

In the present study we have used beef heart submitochondrial preparations (BH-SMP) to demonstrate that a component of mitochondrial Complex I, probably the NADH dehydrogenase flavin, is the mitochondrial site of anthracycline reduction. During forward electron transport, the anthracyclines doxorubicin (Adriamycin) and daunorubicin acted as one-electron acceptors for BH-SMP (i.e. were reduced t...

background: this study was undertaken to evaluate the viability, infectivity and immunity of toxoplasma gondii tachyzoites exposed to 2-(naphthalene-2-ylthio)-1h-indole.   methods : tachyzoites of rh strain were incubated in various concentrations of 2- (naphthalene-2-ylthio)-1h-indole (25-800μm) for 1.5 hours. then, they were stained by pi and analyzed by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (f...

BACKGROUND Acute alveolar hypoxia causes pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) which serves to match lung perfusion to ventilation. The underlying mechanisms are not fully resolved yet. The major vascular segment contributing to HPV, the intra-acinar artery, is mostly located in that part of the lung that cannot be selectively reached by the presently available techniques, e.g. hemodynamic studies o...
