The authors present a case of multiple myeloma with intense hepatic and splenic uptake on Tc-99m HDP bone scan and discuss its clinical implications and possible uptake mechanisms. Tc-99m MIBI and Tc-99m sulfur colloid were used to demonstrate bone marrow involvement and focal lesions of multiple myeloma.

The kinetics of lymph node and systemic uptake of members of three different classes of lymphoscintigraphic agents were studied in normal laboratory rats. 99mTc antimony trisulfide colloid (TcSbC), 99mTc human serum albumin (TcHSA), 125I 5G6.4 (a murine IgG2ak monoclonal antibody), 125I 763.24T (a murine IgG1), and 125I FT166 ( a murine IgM monoclonal) all current or potential lymphoscintigraph...

Bis(methylammonium) octaantimony(III) dodecasulfide persulfide, (CH3NH3)2[Sb8S12(S2)], contains pairs of [Sb4S7]2- chains joined through an unusual persulfide bond to create infinite double [Sb8S14]2- chains. The double chains are interlocked by longer Sb...S interactions to form sheets approximately parallel to the (101) crystallographic plane. Methylammonium cations, formed by decomposition o...

This work aimed to investigate the effect of lipoic acid (LA) on sulfane sulfur (S*) level, infiltration of neutrophils and vascular permeability in a model of zymosan-induced peritonitis. The study showed that lipoic acid increased the sulfane sulfur level. Also, it decreased count of neutrophils and inhibition of intensity of early vascular permeability compared to the control group. These st...

Select meteoritic classes possess mass-independent sulfur isotopic compositions in sulfide and organic phases. Photochemistry in the solar nebula has been attributed as a source of these anomalies. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is the most abundant gas-phase species in the solar nebula, and hence, photodissociation of H2S by solar vacuum UV (VUV) photons (especially by Lyman-α radiation) is a relevant...

Observation of high-temperature superconductivity in compressed sulfur hydrides has generated an irresistible wave of searches for new hydrogen-containing superconductors. We herein report the prediction of high-T_{c} superconductivity in tellurium hydrides stabilized at megabar pressures identified by first-principles calculations in combination with a swarm structure search. Although telluriu...

crystalline antimony sulfide (sb2s3) with nanorods morphology was successfully prepared via hydrothermal method by the reaction of elemental sulfur, antimony and iodine as starting materials with high yield at 180°c for 24h.using oxidation reagents like iodine as an initiator of redox reaction to prepare sb2s3 is reported for first time. crystal growth of sb2s3 was done by increasing reaction t...

Recent discovery of high-temperature superconductivity (Tc = 190 K) in sulfur hydrides at megabar pressures breaks the traditional belief on the Tc limit of 40 K for conventional superconductors, and opens up the doors in searching new high-temperature superconductors in compounds made up of light elements. Selenium is a sister and isoelectronic element of sulfur, with a larger atomic core and ...

To determine which of the two known gold sulfides (containing either monoor trivalent gold) are formed by reacting trivalent gold with differnt allotropes o f sulfur, experiments were made using three different sources of sulfur. When trivalent gold in the form of A u 2 ( S 0 4 ) 3 in concen­ trated acid is reacted with electrolytically formed short-chain sulfur, monovalent gold sulfide (A u 2S...

Metal membranes play a vital role in hydrogen purification. Defect-free membranes can exhibit effectively infinite selectivity but must also provide high fluxes, resistance to poisoning, long operational lifetimes, and low cost. Alloying offers one route to improve on membranes based on pure metals such as palladium. We show how ab initio calculations and coarse-grained modeling can accurately ...
