The crystal structure, surface morphology and luminescence properties were investigated. It was found that the sintered samples crystallized in a tetragonal crystal system with space group I_(41)/amd(a = b = 0.7119 nm, c = 0.6290 nm). The products presented rod-like morphology with length of 100-150 nm and width of 50-100 nm. A maximum peak at 619 nm(~5D_0 →~7F_2) was observed in emission spectrum of the phosphors. It was also found that co-doping of Bi^(3+)+, P5+and Gd^(3+)ions into YVO_4:Eu^(3+)can not only made the right edge of the excitation band shift to the long-wavelength region, but also increased the emission intensity at 619 nm sharply and decreased the lifetime of fluorescence decay. These results may expand the application scope of the phosphors.展开更多

T1-weighted MRI was performed using a 3T scanner before and after the injection of Gd-DOTA or Gadofluorine P(6 diabetic rats, 5 controls). The normalized signal intensity(SI) and the enhancement ratio(ER) of the pancreas were measured at each time point, and the values were compared between the normal and diabetic rats using the Mann-Whitney test. In addition,the values were correlated with the mean islet number.Optimal cut-off values were calculated using a positive test based on receiver operating characteristics.Intrapancreatic Gd concentration after the injection of each contrast media was measured using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry in a separate set of rats(4 diabetic rats, 4 controls for Gadofluorine P; 2, 2 for Gd-DOTA).RESULTS: The normalized SI and ER of the pancreas using Gd-DOTA were not significantly different between diabetic rats and controls. With Gadofluorine P, the values were significantly higher in the diabetic rats than in the control rats 30 min after injection(P < 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve that differentiated diabetic rats from the control group was greater for Gadofluorine P than for Gd-DOTA(0.967 vs 0.667, P = 0.085). An increase in normalized SI 30 min after Gadofluorine P was correlated with a decrease in the mean number of islets(r 2 = 0.510, P = 0.014). Intra-pancreatic Gd was higher in rats with Gadofluorine P injection than Gd-DOTA injection(Gadofluorine P vs Gd-DOTA, 7.37 vs 0.00, P < 0.01). A significant difference in the concentration of intrapancreatic Gd was observed between the control and diabetic animals that were sacrificed 30 min after Gadofluorine P injection(control vs diabetic, 3.25 ng/g vs 10.55 ng/g, P < 0.05)CONCLUSION: In this STZ-induced diabetes rat model,Gadofluorine P-enhanced MRI of the pancreas showed high accuracy in the diagnosis of diabetes.展开更多

This complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n with a = 10.2522(8), b = 10.0053(8), c = 23.8834(18), = 99.1080(10)°, V = 2419.0(3)3, Z = 2, Mr = 1367.32, Dc = 1.877 g/cm3, F(000) = 1368, = 2.830 mm-1, the final R = 0.0337 and wR = 0.0794 for 4747 observed reflections (I 〉 2 (I)). The exo-tetradentate oxalate ligand, generated in situ from the oxidative coupling of methanol, is incorporated to construct a dinuclear Gd2(ox)2 unit decorated with p-PhDTA ligands on the two sides with a monodentate coordination mode. The dinuclear molecules are further connected by the lattice water molecules to form a three-dimen- sional hydrogen network.展开更多

Various analytical and spectroscopic techniques were carried out to determine the physicochemical properties of the prepared samples, including XRD, EDX, FESEM, BET, FFIR, XPS, PL, EIS and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activities of prepared samples were evaluated by photo degradation of methyl orange (MO) and 4-chlorophenol (4- CP) as model pollutants under visible light irradiation. Effects of each dopant on different properties of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. Results show that Gd and P doping enhances Ti02 surface textural properties by forming Ti O Gd and Ti-O-P bonds. It is found that Gd plays a superior role in increasing oxygen vacancies and organic species on TiO2 surface. Gd doping also facilitates transferring of the photo-induced charge carriers to the surface adsorbed species. The enhanced electronic band structure and visible light response, as well as high electron lifetime of Fe-Gd-P tri-doped sample is mainly attributed to Fe and Gd doping. The tri-doped TiO2 with rate constant ofkapp - 1.28 ~ 10-2 min-1 for MO and kapp ~ 0.94 ~ 10-2 min-1 for 4-CP, shows the highest photodegradation rate among all samples including undoped and single doped samples. The improved photocatalytic performance of Fe-Gd-P tri- doped Ti02 is due to the synergistic effect of enhanced surface chemistry and textural properties, increased number of surface adsorbed hydroxyl groups and organic species, improved visible light ab- sorption, increased lifetime of the photo-induced electron/hole pairs and boosted interfacial charge transfer.展开更多

Its kLnLH-1, kLnLand pKa are 0.047 mol^-1·L·s^-1, 0.000074 mol^-1·L·s^-1 and 8.90, respectively.
