Spray pyrolysis method has a disadvantage of nozzle plugging and conventional heating model causes large temperature gradient, which leads to uneven heated reactants. In this study, cerium chloride heptahydrate Venturi reactor were used as raw material core equipment, respectively. The technology microwave was combined prepare single-phase sphere-like oxide. mean size the particles near 80nm. p...

Colorless needles of the arsenite bromide La3OBr[AsO3]2 were synthesized from ammonium dihydrogen arsenate, ammonium bromide and lanthanum oxide in an NaBr/KBr flux at 900 ◦C. La3OBr[AsO3]2 crystallizes with the centrosymmetric tetragonal La3OCl[AsO3]2 type, space group P42/mnm. The structure was refined from single-crystal diffractometer data: a = 13.0431(15), c = 5.6127(7) Å, wR2 = 0.0454, 94...

The shape of the concentration-response curve and the amplitude of maximal motility increase for the stimulatory effect of caffeine on human sperm motility were similar to those of EGTA, a calcium chelator, and lanthanum chloride, a calcium entry blocker. On the other hand, the maximal motility stimulation induced by dibutyryl cyclic AMP was similar to that induced by trifluoperazine, a calmodu...

BACKGROUND Lanthanum carbonate is a non-calcium phosphate binder that is effective for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia. However, it is unknown whether treatment with lanthanum affects survival. METHODS We retrospectively collected data on maintenance hemodialysis patients at 22 facilities (n = 2292) beginning in December 2008, a time point immediately prior to the commercial availability o...

Various species of teleostean fishes were adapted to fresh or salt water and their gill surface epithelium was examined using several techniques of electron microscopy. In both fresh and salt water the branchial epithelium is mostly covered by flat respiratory cells. They are characterized by unusual outer membrane fracture faces containing intramembranous particles and pits in various stages o...

Abstract The sodium form of Faujasite Y (Na-FAU) zeolite has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method, and it exchanged with ammonium sulphate later lanthanum (III) chloride solutions to obtain La-FAU catalyst. three zeolites Na-FAU, NH 4 + -FAU have characterized microcrystalline X-ray diffraction, fluorescence, surface area, pore volume Brönsted acid sites. catalyst successfully activated ...

BACKGROUND Lanthanum carbonate (FOSRENOL®) is an effective, well-tolerated phosphate binder. The ability of lanthanum to reduce serum phosphorus levels to ≤5.5 mg/dL in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) was assessed in a clinical practice setting. METHODS A 16-week, phase IV study enrolled 2763 patients at 223 US sites to evaluate the efficacy of lanthanum carbonate in controlling ...

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the cell shrinkage that occurs during apoptosis could be explained by a change of the activity in ion transport pathways. We tested whether sphingolipids, which are potent pro-apoptotic compounds, can activate ionic currents in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Apoptosis was characterized in our model by a decrease in cell volume, a loss of cell viabil...

A patient with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis presented with fever, anorexia, and nausea shortly after starting oral lanthanum carbonate for phosphate control. Gastric and duodenal biopsies demonstrated diffuse histiocytosis with intracellular aggregates of basophilic foreign material. Transmission electron microscopy, an underutilized diagnostic test, revealed the nature of the...
