Fast and continuous chemical isolation of short-lived isotopes of Hf,Ta and W as homologs of elements 104, 105 and 106

Some short-lived isotopes of Hf, Ta and W, synthesized at the U-400 cyclotron of JINR-Dubna, have been isolated using a previously elaborated fast continuous method of chemical isolation of element 104 from nuclear reaction products. The products were transported by a NaCl aerosol jet, from the irradiated targets to a separation device in which Hf, Ta and W were isolated by using three coupled ion-exchange columns.     

Modeling and electrokinetic evidences on the processes of the Al(III) sorption continuum in SiO2(s) suspension

Reactions of Al(III) at the interface between SiO2(s) and aqueous solution were characteristically and quantitatively studied using electrophoretic methods and applying a surface complexation/precipitation model (SCM/SPM). The surface and bulk properties of Al(III)/SiO2 suspensions were determined as functions of pH and initial Al(III) concentration. Simulated modeling results indicate that the SCM, accounting for the adsorption mechanism, predicts sorption data for low surface coverage only reasonably well. Al(III) hydrolysis and surface hydroxide precipitation must be invoked as the Al(III) concentration and/or pH progressively increase. Accordingly, the three processes in the Al(III) sorption continuum, from adsorption through hydrolysis to surface precipitation, could be identified by the divergence between the SCM/SPM predictions and the experimental data. SiO2(s) suspensions with low Al(III) concentrations (1 x 10(-4) and 1 x 10(-5) M) exhibit electrophoretic behavior similar to that of a pure SiO2(s) system. In Al(III)/SiO2 systems with high Al concentrations of 1 x 10(-3), 5 x 10(-3) and 1 x 10(-2) M, three charge reversals (CR) are observed, separately representing, in order of increasing pH, the point of zero charge (PZC) on the SiO2 substrate (CR1), the onset of the surface precipitation of Al hydroxide (CR2), and at a high pH, the PZC of the Al(OH)3 coating (CR3). Furthermore, in the 1 x 10(-3) M Al(III)/SiO2(s) system, CR2 is consistent with the modeling results of SCM/SPM and provides evidence that Al(III) forms a surface precipitate on SiO2(s) at pH above 4. SiO2(s) dissolution was slightly inhibited when Al(III) was adsorbed onto the surface of SiO2(s), as compared to the dissolution that occurs in a pure SiO2(s) suspension system. Al hydroxide surface precipitation dramatically reduced the dissolution of SiO2(s) because the Al hydroxide passive film inhibited the corrosion of the SiO2(s) surface by OH- ions.     

EFFICACY OF PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY ON ORIGINAL AND RECURRENT RAT MAMMARY TUMORS

Abstract— Photodynamic therapy has demonstrated efficacy toward primary, metastatic and recurrent human tumors. Here, we investigated the ability of photodynamic therapy, using Photofrin, to inhibit growth of R3230AC mammary adenocarcinomas when tumors were treated as original implants and again as lesions recurring at the initial treatment site. The results demonstrate that both initial implants and lesions recurring after the first photodynamic treatment respond similarly to the same photodynamic therapy protocol, with mean tumor volume doubling times of ˜ 11 days in both cases. Cells cultured from original tumor implants or tumors that recurred after photodynamic treatment accumulate equivalent amounts of [¹⁴C]polyhematoporphyrin. Single cell suspensions prepared from either original or recurrent tumors from animals administered 5 mg/kg Photofrin and exposed to light in vitro displayed comparable phototoxicity. Additionally, examination of tumors by light microscopy revealed no morphological differences between the original tumor implants and the recurrent lesions. Taken together, these data indicate that lesions which recurred at the site of the initial photodynamic treatment were not resistant to a second identical course of photodynamic therapy.     

Determination of nalidixic acid by fluorometry with sodium borohydride and hydrogen peroxide

A simple and sensitive fluorometric method for the determination of nalidixic acid was established by using 0.75M sodium borohydride and 7.5% hydrogen peroxide solution as fluorogenic reagents. Analyte concentrations of 0.0232-11.6 pg/mL could be determined with high precision and accuracy by the method. A relative standard deviation of 1.75% was obtained for a nalidixic acid concentration of 0.232 pg/mL. The method was satisfactorily applied to the determination of nalidixic acid in human serum, fish muscle, and chicken muscle, and the calibration curves were linear from 0.23 to 58.00 pg/mL, from 9.28 to 32.48 mg/kg, and from 4.64 to 23.20 mg/kg, respectively. The specificity of the reaction is also discussed.
