A chelating agent helps crops to reuse as nutrients by mobilizing salts from the soil. This study was conducted evaluate effects of Diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA), N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-ethylene diaminetriacetic (HEDTA), and Ethylene diamine disuccininc (EDDS) for improving plant growth reusing accumulated in soils plastic film house. Two experiments were carried out follows: i) For in...

The combined diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-hepatitis B-poliomyelitis/Haemophilus influenza vaccine (DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib: Infanrix™ hexa, GlaxoSmithKline Vaccines) is used for primary vaccination of infants in a range of schedules world-wide. Antibody persistence after 4 DTPa-HBV-IPV/Hib doses in the first 2 y of life has been documented, but long-term persistence data following the 3, 5, ...

Antibody  based  methods  have  numerous  advantages  compared  to  other  detection  methods. However, heavy metals cannot stimulate the immune antibody response; it is the main obstacle for preparation of the antibodies that used in detection methods of the metals. The production of the immunogenic Pb complexes by using cost benefit linkers of EDTA and DTPA were investigated in this  study.BS...

OBJECTIVE Clear depiction of the common bile duct is important when evaluating neonatal cholestasis in order to differentiate biliary atresia from other diseases. During MR cholangiopancreatography, the T2-shortening effect of gadolinium can increase the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) of the bile duct and enhance its depiction. The purpose of this study was to confirm, by performing a phantom st...

the effects of waterlogging, sewage sludge and animal manure on the concentrations of dtpa extractable copper, iron, manganese and zinc were investigated in two different types of soil. a factorial experiment based upon a completely randomized design of two replications containing duration of waterlogging at six levels (0, 1, 3, 7, 15, 30 days), source of organic fertilizer at three levels (con...

INTRODUCTION Children in Singapore receive vaccination against hepatitis B virus (HBV) at 0, 1 and 5 or 6 months of age, and vaccination against pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus, and polio at 3, 4 and 5 months of age. Parents often choose to vaccinate with the combined acellular-pertussis-inactivated polio-Hib vaccine (DTPa-IPV/Hib). We investigated whether a combined hexavalent vaccine, DTPa-HBV...

BACKGROUND Pertussis occurs in older children, adolescents and adults due to waning immunity after primary vaccination. Booster vaccination for pre-school children has been recommended in Italy since 1999. In this study (NCT00871000), the immunogenicity, safety and reactogenicity of a booster dose of reduced-antigen content diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis-inactivated poliovirus vaccine (...

phytoextraction is a remediation technology that uses plants to remove heavy metals from soil. the success of a phytoextraction process depends on adequate plant yield (aerial parts) and high metal concentrations in plant shoots. a pot experiment was conducted to investigate the combination effects of plants [sunflower (helianthus annuus) and canola (brassica napus)] with soil treatments (manur...

Chelation of the rare-earth element gadolinium (Gd) with diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) results in a strongly paramagnetic, stable complex that is well tolerated in animals. The strongly paramagnetic gadolinium complex reduces hydrogen-proton relaxation times even in low concentrations (less than 0.01 mmol/L). The pharmacokinetic behavior of intravenously delivered Gd-DTPA is similar...

This study investigates the oxidative transformation of diethylenetriaminepentaacetate (DTPA), a synthetic ligand, during drinking water ozonation. The rate coefficients for the reactions of CaDTPA and ZnDTPA with ozone were determined to be 6200 and 3500 150M 1 s , respectively. The reactivity of Fe(III)DTPA towards ozone was found to be much lower ð510 M 1 s Þ, but near neutral pH the reactiv...
