The title compound, [Cd(C(6)H(4)NO(3))(2)(H(2)O)(4)], was obtained by the reaction of cadmium chloride with 5-hydroxy-nicotinic acid. The Cd(II) atom is located on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two N atoms from two 5-hydroxy-nicotinic acid ligands and four water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The structure is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, formi...

In reporting this case, I would beg to acknowledge my obligations to Mr. J. B. Roberts, Coroner for the Town of Calcutta, for his courtesy in furnishing ice with depositions taken at an inquest held by him on the body of the deceased. Sheik Laljaun, a slender lad, about fourteen years of age, was brought to hospital on the 2nd March, 1865. On admission, he was in a state of perfect collapse, wi...

Twenty-one male rabbits were divided into three groups: rabbits of two groups were given pelleted food containing cadmium chloride at a dose level of 300 micrograms Cd/g over periods of 44 or 19 weeks. Rabbits of the last group were given ordinary commercial pelleted food and served as controls. Cadmium increased urinary protein and amino acid by week 19 and increased it to a remarkably high le...

in this essay, the heavy metal resistance patterns of bacterial strains isolated from industrial wastewater, domestic wastewater and various parts of the wastewater treatment system of arak city have been studied. 28 intestinal bacterial strains were screened and identified as klebsiella, escherichia coli, citrobacter and enterobacter species biochemical methods. the minimum inhibitory concentr...

1. We tested whether pretreatment of reagents known to induce hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) may confer chemoresistance against cytotoxicity of 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU) to rat C6 glioma cells. We also studied which cytotoxic mechanism(s) of chloroethylnitrosoureas could be neutralized by cobalt preconditioning. 2. Preconditioning of rat C6 glioma cells with cobalt chlorid...

Cadmium is a potent toxic heavy metal element which has apparently no constructive purpose in our body. Lung has been found to be a potential target of cadmium toxicity due to the presence of cadmium in cigarette smoke which puts both active as well as passive smokers at risk. In this report we studied the effect of cadmium on in vitro cultured human lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell line. Cells we...

Background: Cadmium toxicity is an environmental health menace in developing countries, which can result damage to the male reproductive system. The mechanisms of cadmium include increase lipid peroxidation, depletion glutathione, reduction protein-bound sulfhydryl groups, and oxidative stress. Agnus castus has been differently reported for its strong antioxidant potential reproductive-enhancin...

The title compound, [CdCl(2)(C(9)H(11)NO(2))](n), is a coordination polymer prepared by the hydro-thermal reaction of cadmium(II) chloride and 3-amino-3-phenyl-propanoic acid. Geometric parameters are in the usual ranges. The cadmium cation is octa-hedrally coordinated by four Cl atoms at equatorial sites and two O atoms from two ligands at the axial sites. The material is composed of one-dimen...
