BACKGROUND The incidence of haematologic toxicity of valproate (VPA) ranges from 1% to 32% and consists mainly of asymptomatic, dose-dependent thrombopenia. We describe a potentiation of haematologic side-effects of nitroso-urea (NU) when prescribed in association with VPA. PATIENTS AND METHODS We followed a cohort of 70 patients (58 men, 22 women, mean age: 56 years, range 20-75 years). Pati...

AIM We aimed to assess relevance of mineral, trace element and heavy metal levels in patients with malignant gliomas. METHODS In this study, erythrocyte catalase (CAT), and carbonic anhydrase (CA), serum copper (Cu.), zinc (Zn), lead (Pb), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd), cobalt (Co), manganese (Mn), and magnesium (Mg) levels were measured in 22 healthy humans and 22 malignant glioma patients. Metal ...

The Pb(II) atom in the polymeric title compound, [Pb(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(12)H(6)N(2)O(2))](n), is chelated by the N-heterocycle, and adjacent atoms are bridged by rigid terephthalate dianions into a linear chain. The Pb(II) atom is stereochemically active in a ψ-square-pyramidal coordination geometry in which the lone-pair electrons occupy a basal site. When three other weaker Pb⋯O inter-actions ar...

Lead is a potent environmental toxin that has accumulated above its natural level as a result of human activity. Pb cation shows major affinity towards protein complexation and it has been used as modulator of protein-membrane interactions. We located the binding sites of Pb(II) with human serum (HSA) and bovine serum albumins (BSA) at physiological conditions, using constant protein concentrat...

The fluctuations in pseudorapidity density are well described by Fritiof and IRIS, model for a bulk of the data at a few high multiplicity events remain unexplained. In these events, the estimated energy density is within the range of values predicated for the onset of the deconfinement phase transition. It is important to know whether fluctuations are, in fact, of statistical nature or geometr...

[1] Analyses of radiogenic neodymium (Nd), strontium (Sr), and lead (Pb) isotope compositions of clay‐ sized detrital sediments allow detailed tracing of source areas of sediment supply and present and past transport of particles by water masses in the eastern Indian Ocean. Isotope signatures in surface sediments range from −21.5 ("Nd), 0.8299 (Sr/Sr), and 19.89 (Pb/Pb) off northwest Australia ...

Altogether 20 groundwater samples were collected around the Lakan Pb and Zn mine in Iran. Samples were analyzed for 8 constituents including Fe, Pb, Hg, Mn, Zn, CN, SO4 and Cl using standard method. The results show that the average concentrations of constituents were 0.01, 0.60, 0.10, 0.01, 0.40, 35, 0.01 and 5.95 mg/kg for Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn, Hg, SO4, CN and Cl, respectively. The computed contami...

Photochemical processes of 4-tert-butyl-4'-methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone, AB), 4-phenylbenzoylbenzoyl-, 4-phenylbenzoyl-2'-furanyl- and 4-phenylbenzoyl-2'-thenoylmethanes (PB@Ph, PB@F and PB@T, respectively) substituted with Br and Cl at the C2 position were studied by stationary and laser flash photolyses in solution. The absorption spectral features showed that the molecular structures ...
