DESCRIPTION COLESTID Granules and FLAVORED COLESTID Granules contain colestipol hydrochloride, which is a lipid lowering agent for oral use. Colestipol hydrochloride is an insoluble, high molecular weight basic anion-exchange copolymer of diethylenetriamine and 1-chloro-2, 3-epoxypropane, with approximately 1 out of 5 amine nitrogens protonated (chloride form). It is a light yellow water-insolu...

Different alkylamine molecules were post-synthetically tethered to the unsaturated Cr(III) centers in the metal-organic framework MIL-101. The resultant metal-organic frameworks show almost no N2 adsorption with significantly enhanced CO2 capture under ambient conditions as a result of the interaction between amine groups and CO2 molecules. Given the extraordinary stability, high CO2 uptake, ul...

Inhaled sodium metabisulphite (MBS) causes bronchoconstriction, cough and microvascular leakage. We have studied its effects on tracheal blood flow, potential difference (PD) and the permeability from tracheal lumen to venous blood of a low molecular weight hydrophilic tracer, 99mtechnetium-labelled diethylenetriamine penta-acetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) in anaesthetized sheep. Flow was measured in t...

BACKGROUND Hepatic angiomyolipomas are a rare, benign group of mesenchymal tumors in the liver. Hepatic angiomyolipoma is sometimes misdiagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma, and there is the possibility of a malignant transformation. Hence, the accurate diagnosis of this disorder is necessary. CASE PRESENTATION A 64-year-old Japanese man was observed to have a space-occupying lesion of 15-mm ...

Reaction of R2SnCl2 (R = Me, nBu, Ph) and the potassium salts of salenN3H3 (N,N0-bis(salicylidene)diethylenetriamine) and saleanN3H5 (N,N0-bis(o-hydroxybenzyl)diethylenetriamine) provided diorganotin(IV) complexes of the composition [Me2Sn(salenN3H)] solvate (solvate = 2.5H2O, MeOH or DMSO), [nBu2Sn(salenN3H)] H2O, [Ph2Sn(salenN3H)] 2EtOH and [Me2Sn(saleanN3H3)] 2.5H2O. In all compounds the tin...

BACKGROUND Recent studies indicate that MRI, after administration of gadolinium-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, can identify nonviable areas in dysfunctional myocardium. We compared MRI hyperenhancement with PET as a gold standard for detection and quantification of myocardial scar tissue. METHODS AND RESULTS Thirty-one patients with ischemic heart failure (ejection fraction, 28+/-9%) we...
