BACKGROUND The combination of a radioisotope with a chemotherapeutic agent in a liposomal carrier (ie, Indium-111-labeled polyethylene glycol pegylated liposomal vinorelbine, [(111)In-VNB-liposome]) has been reported to show better therapeutic efficiency in tumor growth suppression. Nevertheless, the challenge remains as to whether this therapeutic effect is attributable to the combination of a...

In previous studies, we have demonstrated that transferrin-gallium inhibits cellular proliferation by a mechanism whereby cellular iron utilization is impaired. Since indium, a similar class 3A metal, has not been well studied, we examined its effects on cellular iron uptake and cellular proliferation. In these studies, we provide evidence that indium, when bound to transferrin, has a 50-fold h...

The polarization fields in c-plane InGaN/(In)GaN multiple quantum well (MQW) structures grown on sapphire substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition are investigated in this paper. The indium composition in the quantum wells varies from 14.8 to 26.5% for different samples. The photoluminescence wavelengths are calculated theoretically by fully considering the related effects and compa...

The use of indium compounds in the electronics and semiconductor industry has risen sharply from the 1990s, and indium demand increased to a record 335 tons in 2000 in Japan, which was about 5 times that in 1990. Indium-tin oxide (ITO) is a sintered alloy containing a large portion of indium oxide and a small portion of tin oxide, and is used in the making of thin-film transistor liquid crystal...

The nitridation of InP(100) surfaces has been studied using synchrotron radiation photoemission. The samples were chemically cleaned and then ion bombarded, which cleaned the surface and also induced the formation of metallic indium droplets. The nitridation with a Glow Discharge Cell (GDS) produced indium nitride by reaction with these indium clusters. We used the In 4d and P 2p core levels to...

We have investigated the correlation of 24 h and 48 h faecal Indium-111 excretion with each other and with several clinical activity indices for Crohn's disease (CD): Crohn's disease activity index (CDAI), activity index (AI), simple index (SI), Oxford score, and laboratory parameters, such as ESR, serum albumin, orosomucoid, C-reactive protein, alpha-l-antitrypsin (alpha 1-AT) faecal concentra...

influence of aluminum, gallium, indium- doping on the boron-nitride nanotubes (bnnts) investigated with density functional theory (dft) and hartreefock (hf) methods. for this purpose, the chemical shift of difference atomic nucleus was studied using the gauge included atomic orbital (giao) approch. in the following, structural parameter values, electrostatic potential, thermodynamic parameters,...

Indium is a typical chalcophile element of the Earth’s crust, with a very low average content that seldom forms specific minerals, occurring mainly as dispersed in polymetallic sulphides. Indium recovery is based primarily on zinc extraction from sphalerite, the prototype of so-called tetrahedral sulphides, wherein metal ions fill half of the available tetrahedral sites within the cubic closest...
