BACKGROUND AGA IgA II and AGA IgG II have recently been suggested as reliable tools for celiac disease (CD) diagnosis. We compared their utility for diagnosis and monitoring CD in children with that of tTG IgA, an established CD marker. METHODS We studied a cohort of 161 CD and 129 control children in whom CD was histologically confirmed or ruled out. We followed 37 children with CD on a glut...

The asymmetric unit of the title crystal structure, [Cd(3)(NCS)(6)(C(7)H(6)N(4))(2)](n), contains two independent Cd(II) ions, one of which is located on a crystallographic inversion center. Each independent Cd(II) ion is in a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination environment, but the disortion from ideally octa-hedral is greater in the environment of the Cd(II) ion on a general position....

Two nano-sized mixed-ligand Cd (II) coordination polymers; [Cd (4,4' -bpy) (C4H4O4)].1/4 H2O (1) and[Cd(bpy)1.5 (NO3)2].3H2O (2) (bpy=bipiridine) were synthesized by a sonochemical method and characterized by elemental analyses, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The cry...

The demand for selection of aptamers against various small chemical molecules has substantially increased in recent years. To incubate and separate target-specific aptamers, the conventional SELEX procedures generally need to immobilize target molecules on a matrix, which may be impotent to screen aptamers toward small molecules without enough sites for immobilization. Herein we chose Cd(II) as...

background and purpose: recently, release of pollutants such as heavy metal ions to the environment becomes one of the most important problems for soil and water. the present study was conducted to introduce modified rice husk (rh) as a new low-cost adsorbent. materials and methods: in this study, tartaric acid modified rh (tarh), was used as an adsorbent for removal of ni(ii) and cd(ii) from w...

The title compound, [Cd(C(2)O(4))(C(3)H(7)NO)(2)](n), is isostructural with its Mn(II) analogue. The structure comprises zigzag polymeric chains with the oxalate groups situated on inversion centres and the Cd(II) atoms located on twofold rotation axes. The coordination geometry around Cd(II) is distorted octa-hedral and the intra-chain Cd⋯Cd distance is 5.842 (1) Å. C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds exist ...

The title compound, [Cd(NCS)(2)(C(6)H(5)N(5))(2)](n), is a coordination polymer with the Cd(II) centre located on a twofold rotation axis. The Cd(II) centre assumes a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The thio-cyanate anions function as bridging ligands between the Cd(II) centres, leading to a chain-like arrangement expanding along [001].

As capacidades de ligação de prótons e metais por células vivas da microalga Tetraselmis gracilis foram estudadas por titulação potenciométrica e voltametria de redissolução anódica, respectivamente. A ligação de Cd(II) e Zn(II) foi estudada em água do mar (pH 8,2) por adições de soluções dos cátions metálicos em soluções simples ou misturas binárias. O cálculo das concentrações dos metais cons...

This study reports the sequestration of Cd(II) and Hg(II) using a new biosorbent, Nauclea diderrichii seed biomass. Experimental data obtained were fitted into kinetic and thermodynamic models. Experimental data fitted best into pseudo-second order kinetic model among others. Results obtained kinetically revealed that the biosorption of Cd(II) and Hg(II) using N. diderrichii seed biosorbent inc...

The coexistence of cadmium ion (Cd(II)) and antimonate (Sb(V)) creates the need for their simultaneous removal. This study aims to investigate the effects of positively-charged Cd(II) on the removal of negative Sb(V) ions by Fe-Mn binary oxide (FMBO) and associated mechanisms. The maximum Sb(V) adsorption density (Qmax,Sb(V)) increased from 1.02 to 1.32 and 2.01 mmol/g in the presence of Cd(II)...
