ABSTRACTIn this work, we studied the dissolution of three different refractory compositions belonging to the ternary system SiO2-CaO-MgO into two Simulated Lung Fluids (SLF). The initial powder mixtures were uniaxially pressed and then sintered at 1300-1400 °C. The sintered samples were immersed for times from 1 to 21 days into a given SLF at 37 °C. The samples were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The dissolution of Ca2+, Mg2+ and Si4+ into the SLF was quantified by Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The in vitro studies suggested that all the considered materials had a potential to show a diminished biopersistence in vivo, due to reasons that depended on their chemical and phase composition.

Zr:Yb:Tm:LiNbO3 crystals with various [Li]/[Nb] ratios (0.946, 1.05, 1.20 and 1.38) were grown by the Czochralski technique. Distribution coefficients of Zr[Formula: see text], Yb[Formula: see text] and Tm[Formula: see text] ions were analyzed by the inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES). The influence of [Li]/[Nb] ratio on the composition and defect structure of Zr:Yb:Tm:LiNbO3 crystals was investigated by X-ray diffraction and IR transmission spectrum. The results show that as the [Li]/[Nb] ratio increases in the melt, the distribution coefficients of Yb[Formula: see text] and Tm[Formula: see text] ions both increase while that of Zr[Formula: see text] ion deceases. When the [Li]/[Nb] ratio increases to 1.20 in the melt, Zr:Yb:Tm:LiNbO3 crystal is nearly stoichiometric. In addition, when the [Li]/[Nb] ratio reaches up to 1.38, Nb[Formula: see text] are completely replaced and Li[Formula: see text] starts to impel the Zr[Formula: see text], Yb[Formula: see text] and Tm[Formula: see text] into the normal Li sites.

The main purpose of this work is study the influence of the insertion metal ions Ni (II) in the phosphogypsum produced by sulfuric acid attack of tricalcium phosphate. Indeed, the maximum content of heavy metals calcium sulfate that can absorb was determined. The added ions are (NiCl2, 6H2O) with mass concentrations ranging from 5% to 50%. The samples prepared were characterized by various methods, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES). The results of this study showed that the limit of insertion of metal cations in calcium sulfate is limited to 30% for nickel.

Calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2) whiskers were prepared by using the technique of molten salt synthesis with the fluxing agent of potassium sulphate (K2SO4). A tentative x-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern was suggested for the produced whiskers. Phase purity, composition, and morphology of the whiskers were investigated by powder XRD, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively.

The preparation of different morphological basic magnesium carbonate particles with hollow rod-like, hull of peanut and leaf from the pyrogenation of magnesium carbonate trihydrate were described. The morphology, crystal phase and purity of basic magnesium carbonate were characterized by scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometer (ICP-AES). The results indicated that the formation of three morphological basic magnesium carbonates were obtained via platelike particles of magnesium carbonate trihydrate under certain conditions where the temperature and stirring rate were properly controlled. The length of the hollow rod means up to 6~7µm, and its diameter means up to 1~2µm.

Arsenoplatin-1 (AP-1), the prototype of a novel class of metallodrugs containing a PtAs(OH)2 core, was encapsulated within the apoferritin (AFt) nanocage. UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy measurements confirmed metallodrug encapsulation and allowed us to determine the average amount of AP-1 trapped inside the cage. The X-ray structure of AP-1-encapsulated AFt was solved at 1.50 Å. Diffraction data revealed that an AP-1 fragment coordinates the side chain of a His residue. The biological activity of AP-1-loaded AFt was comparatively tested on a few representative cancer and non-cancer cell lines. Even though the presence of the cage reduces the overall cytotoxicity of AP-1, it improves its selectivity towards cancer cells.

Hydroxyapatite (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAp) powders is synthesized using the mixed powders of CaCO3 refined from oyster shells and phosphoric acid (H3PO4-98%, Daejung) as starting materials. The characteristic evaluation and chemical analysis of the synthesized powders is performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transformed infra-red spectroscopy (FT-IR), and inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICPAES). XRD analysis of synthetic powder by heat treatment at 1300°C for 2hrs shows only HAp peaks corresponding to stoichiometric HAp. It is confirmed by ICP-AES test that impurities such as Zn, In, Ti, Ba, Cd, Pb, and Mn, is not detected at all, but small amounts of Ti and Be is observed (0.099ppm Ti and 0.002ppm Ba). Variation of bone density is measured by giving medication of HAp powder with drinking water into human body continuously for three month. After the medication, the bone density is higher than the medication before. This means that HAp powder made from this process can be used as improver of bone density.
