Iodide (I(-))-accumulating bacteria were isolated from marine sediment by an autoradiographic method with radioactive (125)I(-). When they were grown in a liquid medium containing 0.1 microM iodide, 79 to 89% of the iodide was removed from the medium, and a corresponding amount of iodide was detected in the cells. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that iodide-accu...

Twenty seven hypothyroid patients with a serum concentration of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) of over 40 mU/1 were followed up for three to 20 weeks without replacement therapy. The serum thyroid hormone concentrations increased with a dramatic decrease in serum TSH values in 14 patients (reversible group) but there was no significant change in the other 13 (irreversible group). Fourteen ou...

Received: Revised: Accepted: April 13, 2013 April 17, 2013 April 24, 2013 In the present report, a new assay combining specific substrates and a selective BChE inhibitor (ethopropazine hydrochloride) was used to measure both AChE and BChE in canine whole blood samples. Acetylthiocholine iodide (ATCI) and butyrylthiocholine iodide (BTCI) were used as substrates, whereas 2,2’dithiodipiridine was ...

The title compound, (C(24)H(20)P)(2)[MnI(4)]·(CH(3))(2)CO, prepared from the reaction of manganese powder, iodine and tetra-phenyl-phospho-nium iodide in acetone shows a tetra-hedral complex anion [Mn-I = 2.6868 (5)-2.7281 (4) Å and I-Mn-I = 104.011 (13)-116.164 (15)°], two tetra-phenyl-phospho-nium cations and one mol-ecule of acetone.

A rapid fluorescent staining method using a tetrazolium dye and propidium iodide for the in-use assessment of disinfection of Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms on soft contact lenses showed that 11 to 13% of cells on lenses remained actively respiring and recoverable by culture methods after 30 min of exposure to 3% hydrogen peroxide.

Anoxic/ischemic neuronal death is usually assessed in cell cultures or in vivo within a time window of 24 h to several days using the nucleic acid stain propidium iodide or histological techniques. Accordingly, there is limited information on the time course of such neuronal death. We loaded acute rat brain stem slices with propidium iodide for dynamic fluorometric recording of metabolic arrest...

delta-Iodolactone (6-iodo-8,11,14-eicosatrienoic delta-lactone, delta-IL), an iodinated derivative of arachidonic acid, has been shown to be synthesized in thyroid tissue and to inhibit thyroid cell proliferation. It is discussed as a potential mediator of the autoregulatory pathway of iodide in cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP)- and thyrotropin (TSH)-independent growth. We therefore ...

In the title compound, [ZnI(2)(C(12)H(9)BrN(2))], the metal centre displays a moderately distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometry defined by two iodide anions and two N atoms of the organic ligand. The dihedral angle between the pyridine and benzene rings is 15.15 (13)°.

The title compound C(13)H(16)N(+)·Cl(-), an achiral salt, was synthesized by a three-component coupling reaction in the presence of copper(I) iodide. The configuration of five-membered ring is close to an envelope conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯Cl inter-actions.
