In vitro and in vivo studies were made of the equilibrium distribution of radioxenon in various organs and tissues of the dog and the xenon uptake compared with a water standard. Tissue-blood partition coefficients were calculated. The radioxenon-hemoglobin association curve was determined for dog and human hemoglobin and methemoglobin. The uptake of radioxenon by blood, due in particular to xenon-hemoglobin affinity, was appreciably greater than uptake either by water or by most other body tissues. Fat and brain were notable exceptions. Consequently, tissue-blood partition coefficients were about eight for fat, one for brain, and significantly less than one for other tissues studied. Acceptable accuracy for blood flow determinations with a radioxenon inert gas diffusion method would seem to depend on the use of a partition coefficient correction in turn corrected at least for the existing hemoglobin concentration. The uptake of xenon by hemoglobin had the characteristics of a solubility or a quasi-solubility phenomenon. The problem of the nature of the interaction is apparently not resolved.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) are interesting high-tech nanomaterials. MWCNTs oxidized and functionalized with itaconic acid and monomethylitaconate were demonstrated to be efficient additives for controlling nucleation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) via gas diffusion (GD) in classical as well as nonclassical crystallization, yielding aragonite and truncated calcite. For the first time, all amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) proto-structures, such as proto calcite-ACC, proto vaterite-ACC and proto aragonite-ACC, were synthesized via prenucleation cluster (PNC) intermediates and stabilized at room temperature. The MWCNTs also showed concentration-dependent nucleation promotion and inhibition similar to biomolecules in nature. Incorporation of fluorescein-5-thiosemicarbazide (5-FTSC) dye-labeled MWCNTs into the CaCO3 lattice resulted in fluorescent hybrid nanosized CaCO3. We demonstrate that functionalized MWCNTs offer a good alternative for controlled selective crystallization and for understanding an inorganic mineralization process.

Transparent hybrid organic-inorganic ureasil xerogels with embedded PbS nanoparticles were prepared by exposing the xerogels doped with lead (II) nitrate to hydrogen sulphide atmosphere. Absorbance spectrum of the nonocomposites showed well defined peaks at 560 nm and 370 nm attributed to 1s(v) - 1s(c) and 1s(v) - 2p(c) exciton transitions, respectively. After four days of thermal treatment at 50 °C under argon atmosphere the obtained materials showed enhanced photoluminescence response in the near infra-red region.
