The hydro-thermal reaction of cadmium(II) nitrate with 5-amino-2,4,6-triiodo-isophthalic acid and pyridine in DMF solution leads to the formation of the title compound, [Cd(C(8)H(2)I(3)NO(4))(C(5)H(5)N)(2)](n). The structure contains a four-coordinate Cd(2+ )ion in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry, which lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. The Cd(2+ )ion is bonded to two N atoms ...

Effect of long term cholesterol diet withdrawal on accelerated atherosclerosis in iliac artery of New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits has not been explored so far. Atherosclerosis was thus induced in rabbits by a combination of balloon injury and atherogenic diet (AD) (1% cholesterol and 6% peanut oil) feeding for 8 weeks (baseline) followed by chow diet (CD) feeding for 4, 8, 16, 32, 50 and 64 wee...

Lineage commitment is a developmental process by which individual CD4 1 CD8 1 (double positive, DP) thymocytes make a decision to differentiate into either CD4 1 or CD8 1 T cells. However, the molecular event(s) that defines lineage commitment is controversial. We have previously proposed that lineage commitment in DP thymocytes can be molecularly defined as the selective termination of CD4 or ...

We aimed to research the influences of oral L.plantarum administration on some blood parameters and alpha-naphthyl acetate esterase (ANAE)-positive lymphocyte ratios in female rats exposed chronically Cd. In order perform this investigation, were separated into four equal groups as control (C, n = 8), cadmium (Cd, (n Cd+ 8). Cd (2.04 mg / mL) was orally applicated for 28 days. addition, active-...

OBJECTIVES Zinc (Zn) has major effects on immune system activation while Cadmium (Cd) has anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects in several chronic inflammatory contexts. The aim of this work was to investigate by which mechanisms Zn could compete with Cd and eventually counteract its deleterious effects. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synoviocytes exposed to cytokines were used as a model...

Abstract To develop a new technology to remediate pollution sites stably and effectively, hydrothermal conversion of polluted soil (model soil) into zeolite P for in situ immobilization Heavy Metals (HM) was carried out. Zeolite could be synthesized from hydrothermally with large range Al/Si ratio (0.33–1.0) 48 h at 200 °C. With immobilizing heavy metals (Cr, Zn Cd), the crystallization (Cr-ZP,...

Castleman disease (CD), also known as angiofollicular lymph node hyperplasia and giant lymph node hyperplasia, was first described in 1956 by Dr. Benjamin Castleman as localized mediastinal lymph node proliferation. Nodal hyperplasia has been described as hyaline vascular (80–90%), plasma cell (10–20%), and mixed.1 CD is a rare disease with no racial or sex predominance.2 Clinical characteristi...

BACKGROUND Human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus that influences cellular metabolism modifying biological responses. This results in oncogenic, degenerative or inflammatory changes. The myelopathy associated to HTLV-I or tropical spastic paraparesia (HAM/TSP) is a mainly degenerative response to the virus infection. On the other hand, Sjögren syndrome has an inflammato...
