The capacity of Al3+ to promote oxidative damage to brain membranes was investigated both in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, Al3+ and related metals (Sc3+, Ga3+, In3+, Be2+, Y3+, and La3+) stimulated Fe2+-initiated lipid and protein oxidation in brain myelin and synaptic membranes. Al3+, Sc3+, Y3+, and La3+ significantly promoted protein-associated carbonyl production in myelin, while in synaptic ...

A novel kind of organic-inorganic monomer SUASi has been achieved by modifying 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SUA) with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS), subsequently binary and ternary Eu3+ mesoporous hybrid materials with 5-sulfosalicylic acid (SUA)-functionalized SBA-15 and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) are synthesized by co-condensation of SUASi and TEOS in the presence of Eu3+ complex and Pluronic...

the solvent extraction of rare earth metal ions from nitrate solutions by 5.11.17.23-tetra-tert-butyl-25,27-bis(diethylcarbamoylmethoxy)-26,28-dihydroxycalix[4]arene (l) in 1,2-dichloroethane has been investigated. the alalysis of the extraction equilibrium obtained from a mixture of la3+, eu3+, er3+ and y3+ revealed that the extracted species have a 1:1 metal/ligand ratio. the intra-group sepa...

Viscosity, electrical conductivity and deposit weight were determined for Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) Mg2+-, Y3+-, La3+- and Ce4+-doped alumina's ethanolic suspensions prepared at dopant concentration between 350 to 1350 ppm. The concentration of XCly (X, y were: Mg, 2; Y, 3; Ce, 3 and La, 3, respectively) the charging salt, is also found to be a critical factor to control the viscosity. I...
