Restenosis is a major clinical problem following successful percutaneous translwninal coronary angioplasty. Since magnesium has vasodilator and antithrombotic effects, this study lvas designed to evaluate its potential to decrease the rate of restenosis. In an open-labelled, randomized controlled study, 148 patients underwent successful coronary angioplasty. Ninetyeightpatients were treated wit...

Magnesium borate hydroxide (MBH) nanowhiskers were synthesized using a one step hydrothermal process with different surfactants. The effect surfactants have on the structure and morphology of the MBH nanowhiskers has been investigated. The X-ray diffraction profile confirms that the as-synthesized material is of single phase, monoclinic MgBO(2)(OH). The variations in the size and shape of the d...

Photogenerated magnesium octaethylporphyrin cation in glycerol monooleate bilayers is shown to mediate the transport of H3O+ and/or OH-. Data from voltage clamp and open-circuit experiments are consistent with the classic Markin or Laüger carrier model. Photoinitiated currents exhibit the expected transient and steady-state behavior.

Introduction Magnesium hydroxide [Mg(OH)2] is the major corrosion product in biodegradable magnesium implants and is thus suspected as a key player in the enhanced peri-implant bone formation [1]. The general administration of magnesium ions has shown a positive influence on bone remodeling and bone growth [2,3]. Furthermore, Mg(OH)2 is exposed to an chloride containing environment as in the bo...

Leather processing is an important industry in China, and the discharge of chromium waste has been severely circumscribed. Though traditional processes for treating chromium waste have been widely used in tannery plants, technology adopting high efficiency and economic simultaneously is deficient. In order to develop an economic treatment for tannery waste, a mixed alkali of sodium hydroxide an...
