Single-crystalline thin films of complex oxides show a rich variety of functional properties such as ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, ferro and antiferromagnetism and so on that have the potential for completely new electronic applications. Direct synthesis of such oxides on silicon remains challenging because of the fundamental crystal chemistry and mechanical incompatibility of dissimilar ...

Dissolution rates and apparent solubilities for synthetic hydroxyapatite in acetate buffers containing phosphate and strontium ions in the range of 10-3 to 10-2 M were determined under various pH and buffer conditions. Critical examination of the role of strontium with a physical model suggests that a calcium-strontium apatite surface complex may govern the driving force of the dissolution reac...

PURPOSE To estimate the proportion of osteoporosis patients in whom initiating strontium ranelate treatment, under new EMA guidelines, should be contraindicated because of a history of cardiovascular events or risk for cardiovascular events. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective analysis of medical and pharmacy claims using the Clinical Practice Research Datalink database. Patients w...

Introduction. Strontium salts are anti-irritants for chemically induced sensory irritation. Interstitial cystitis is a painful disease without definitive therapy. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of strontium in bladder with experimental interstitial cystitis model. Material and Methods. Rats' bladders in control group were instilled with NaCl. Second group was instilled with E....

Strontium-82 is produced by proton activation of a rubidium chloride target in an accelerator or cyclotron and purified by ion exchange chromatography. The Strontrium-82 is used in Cardigen generators to produce Rubidium-82 for cardiac imaging. Quality control testing of the purified Strontium-82 is performed with Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and gamma spec...

Cementogenesis, performed by cementoblasts, is important for the repair of root resorption caused by orthodontic treatment. Based on recent studies, strontium has been applied for osteoporosis treatment due to its positive effect on osteoblasts. Although promising, the effect of strontium on cementoblasts is still unclear. So the aim of this research was to clarify and investigate the effect of...

Objective: To investigate the impact of strontium ranelate on implant osseointergration of osteoporotic rats in vivo experiment. Method: Thirty-six female rats were randomly divided into three groups: ovariectomization group (A=12), strontium ranelate low-dose treatment group (B=12) and strontium ranelate high-dose treatment group (C=12). After the success of the osteoporosis model building, HA...

The effects of low doses of oral stable strontium (0.19-0.40% of strontium chloride) on mineral and bone metabolism were examined in normal rats using biochemical and histomorphometrical methods. The strontium levels in serum and bone rose according to the intake of the element. Oral strontium supplementation did not produce deleterious effects on body growth or on mineral homeostasis except a ...

nowadays various methods are presented for synthesis of barium strontium titanate (bst) nanopowders with different morphology and properties. each of these (bst)s has got individual characterization that makes it suitable for a special application. every method has a special quality, causes it to have preference over the other methods. low processing temperature is a desired point which most of...

OBJECTIVE Recently, the European Medicines Agency reported that strontium ranelate increases myocardial infarction risk in postmenopausal women, 8.5 years after it was registered for use in osteoporosis. Unreported serious adverse events in clinical trials for other pharmaceuticals have been described in recent years. We assessed reporting of adverse events and fracture efficacy of strontium. ...
