There are a few studies suggesting a relationship between celiac disease (CD) and kidney disease, but no study has investigated CD in patients with urolithiasis. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of CD in infants and children with urolithiasis. One hundred and eighty-seven infants and children (4 months-17 years) with urolithiasis, and 278 age- and sex-matched healthy children...

The increasing atmospheric CO(2) and heavy metal contamination in soil are two of the major environmental problems. Knowledge of the Cd stress coping mechanisms is needed to understand the regulation of the plants' metabolism under the increasing atmospheric CO(2) levels. Lolium perenne L. was grown hydroponically under two concentrations of atmospheric CO(2) (360 and 1000μLL(-1)) and six conce...

In the title compound, [Cd(C(3)H(3)N(4)O(2))(2)](n), the Cd(II) ion, located on a twofold rotation axis, is six-coordinated by two N atoms [Cd-N = 2.368 (2) Å] and four O atoms [Cd-O = 2.300 (1) and 2.260 (1) Å] from six 2-(1H-tetra-zol-1-yl)acetate (L) ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The metal centres are connected via the tridentate L ligands into a three-dimensional polymeric st...

In the title compound, [Cd(C(12)H(8)N(5))(2)(H(2)O)(4)]·2H(2)O, the Cd(II) atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by the two N atoms [Cd-N = 2.278 (2) Å] and four O atoms [Cd-O = 2.304 (2)-2.322 (2) Å] in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the complex into a three-dimensional supra-molecular framework.

BACKGROUND Prevalence of Crohn's disease (CD) among patients with rheumatic illnesses in India is grossly under estimated, especially when it has overtaken that of Ulcerative Colitis in the West. AIM To study the frequency of histologically unequivocal CD amongst clinically suspected patients with enteropathic arthropathy and to ascertain if the arthritics with CD have any independent clinica...

There different RFLP's on the p53 gene were studied in a healthy Turkish population. These RFLP's were located on the exon 4 (CD 47), exon 6 (CD 213) and intron 6 (A-G). CD 47 (C-T) was not present. CD 213 (G) occurred very rarely with a frequency of 0.0114. The frequency of the Int 6 A/G a alteration was found to be 0.70 for "G". The heterozygosity rate was 32.72%.

Celiac disease (CD) is a multifactorial disorder influenced by environmental, genetic and immunological factors. Increasing evidence showed CTLA-4 gene as an important susceptibility locus for autoimmune disorders. A native soluble cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein-4 (sCTLA-4), lacking of transmembrane sequence, has been described in several autoimmune diseases. We aimed to evaluate the...

Cd from roots of maize was partitioned in seedlings exposed to 3 microM CdSO4 for 1 to 7 d. Most of the root Cd (92-94%) was buffer soluble and provided the classical metal-induced cysteine-rich, high-molecular-weight Cd-binding complex. This complex, however, bound only part of the Cd within the roots, from 19% after 1 d of exposure to 59% by d 7. Three families of peptides formed the Cd-bindi...

Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is known to provide certain health benefits in experimental animal models. The major CLA isomer in food is c 9,t11-CLA. A primary objective of this study was to investigate the uptake of c 9,t11-CLA and its downstream metabolites into various lipid fractions in the liver of rats fed either a high or low CLA diet (containing 0.1 or 0.8 g CLA/100 g diet, respectivel...

The two new ligands L(fur) and L(th) consist of two chelating pyrazolyl-pyridine termini connected to furan-2,5-diyl or thiophene-2,5-diyl spacers via methylene groups. Reaction of these with a range of transition metal dications that prefer octahedral coordination affords a series of unusual structures which are all based on a 2M : 3L ratio. [M(8)(L(fur))(12)]X(16) (M = Co, Cu, X = BF(4); and ...
