in this study, the removal of cadmium and lead ions from aqueous solution by nanocrystalline magnetite was investigated. the nanocrystalline magnetite was synthesized by mechanochemical activation of hematite in a high energy planetary mill in argon atmosphere for 45 hours. the ability of the synthesized nanocrystalline magnetite for removal of cd(ii) and pb(ii) from aqueous solutions was studi...

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the factor structure of the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) in pregnancy and postpartum. Women were asked to fill in the BDI-II in their last trimester of pregnancy and at 3 months after delivery. A total of 331 pregnant women, with a mean age of 29.7 years (SD=4.6), and 354 mothers, aged 30.6 years (SD=4.6 years), answered the BDI-II. T...

In the study, novel and sensitive carbon paste electrodes (CPEs) developed for thepotentiometric measurement of Cr(III) and Mg(II) ions in pharmacological and water samples.CPEs as indicator electrodes were prepared from a mixture of four components, includinggraphite powder, paraffin oil, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), and a greenionophore (Chitosan Schiff base...

It was the aim of the present study to investigate factor II levels in liver cirrhosis (LC) patients with portal vein thrombosis (PVT) carrying the heterozygous G20210A prothrombin (PT) mutation. Plasma concentrations of factor II, VII, X, V, protein C (PC) total protein S (tPS) antithrombin (AT) and D-dimers (DD) were measured in 13 LC patients with PVT heterozygous for PT G20210A, in 13 LC pa...

materials and methods: 32 new zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: control group, high-cholesterol group and losartan group. the level of weights, serum lipid levels and inflammatory factors, such as il-6 and hs c-reactive protein were detected before the losartan intervention and two months after the losartan intervention respectively. the content of angii was detected on l...

the arnold-chiari malformation is a congenital abnormality of cns, characterized by downward displacement the parts of the cerebellum, fourth ventricle, pons and medulla oblongata into the spinal canal. this malformation is one of causative factor of death in neonates and infants. a thorough understanding of the direct and indirect sonographic findings is necessary for diagnosis of chiari ii ma...

in this study, anion-exchange chromatography was used to purify factor vii and factor ix from prothrombin complex (ppsb), which contains coagulation factors ii, vii, ix and x. for this purpose, deae-sepharose cl-6b gel , pharmacia column xk-26 , high flow rate and two stepwise gradients with phosphate citrate buffer were used. the yield of the two lyophylized products, factor vii and factor ix ...
