The advancement of nanomedicine and the increasing applications of nanoparticles in consumer products have led to administered biological exposure and unintentional environmental accumulation of nanoparticles, causing concerns over the biocompatibility and sustainability of nanotechnology. Upon entering physiological environments, nanoparticles readily assume the form of a nanoparticle-protein ...

1. The classification of fusobacteria into types, as suggested by Slanetz and Rettger on the basis of their cultural and biochemical characteristics, was confirmed. The following additional data are presented: the behavior of types I, II, and III in several previously untested carbohydrates; the final pH in 1 per cent glucose broth; the hydrolysis of starch; the failure to decompose sodium hipp...

Trisilver(I) citrate, 3Ag(+)·C(6)H(5)O(7) (3-), was obtained by evaporation of a saturated aqueous solution of the raw material that had been obtained from sodium dihydrogen citrate and silver nitrate. It features one formula unit in the asymmetric unit. There is an intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bond between the OH group and one of the terminal carboxyl-ate groups. Different citrate groups are...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study is to present a case of 44 years old woman with topiramate induced metabolic acidosis and kidney stones. MATERIALS AND METHODS The laboratory features of topiramate caused renal tubular acidosis in blood and urine during topiramate treatment, with correction of metabolic acidosis by potassium citrate, and after topiramate withdrawal are presented. Differenti...

In the microbiological assay for the determination of trace amounts of penicillin, it has been shown that sodium citrate and penicillin act synergistically against Sarcina lutea. The inhibitory action of citrate appears to involve a sequestering of divalent cations essential to the growth of the organism as shown by minimal inhibitory concentration and agar diffusion studies. The addition of ca...
