Abstract
The prevalence of plant diseases caused by pathogens such as Xanthomonas campestris pv campestris (Xcc) poses a significant challenge to sustainable agriculture, necessitating the development of effective and eco-friendly disinfection methods. In this study, we investigated the efficacy of electrohydraulic discharge plasma (EHDP) as a promising alternative for disinfection against Xcc, a pathogen responsible for black rot in cruciferous vegetables. Unlike conventional gas-phase plasma, EHDP introduces two pivotal components: gas-liquid interface plasma (GLIP) and its consequential byproduct, plasma-activated water (PAW). While GLIP enables dual-phase production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), PAW is a reservoir of liquid-phase long-lived RONS, thereby enhancing its bactericidal efficacy. In our evaluations, we tested EHDP-induced GLIP and EHDP-induced PAW against Xcc cells in both in vitro (Xcc suspension) and in vivo (Xcc-inoculated cabbage seeds) settings, achieving noteworthy results. Within 15 min, these methods eliminated ∼98% of the Xcc cells in suspension. For in vivo assessments, nontreated seeds exhibited an infection rate of 98%. In contrast, both EHDP treatments showed a significant reduction, with ∼60% fewer seeds infected while maintaining ∼90% germination rate. In addition, the liquid-phase RONS in EHDP-PAW may enhance seed vigor with a faster germination rate within the initial 5 days. Remarkably, around 90% of EHDP-PAW-treated seeds yielded healthy seedlings, indicating dual benefits in bacterial suppression and seed growth stimulation. In contrast, the percentage of healthy seedlings from nontreated, Xcc-inoculated seeds was approximately 70%. Our research demonstrates the feasibility of using eco-friendly EHDP in the seed disinfection process.

Abstract
Phosphonates have received a widespread attention in wastewater treatment due to their potential threat to the water environment. Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are feasible methods to degrade phosphonates, and most of the coexisting substances in water show a negative factor during their oxidation. However, the effect of bromide (Br-) on the degradation of phosphonates in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation is still unclear. Herein, using 1-hydroxyethane 1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) as a target phosphonate, Br- could remarkably enhance the degradation of HEDP in PMS activation compared to the PMS alone. Under the condition of pH = 7.0, the optimal degradation efficiency of HEDP is 84.8% in the PMS/Br- process after 30-min reaction, whereas no significant oxidation is obtained in the PMS/I- and PMS/Cl- processes. Multiple experiments (i.e., electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), radical quenching experiments and chemical probs) confirm that free bromine, SO4•- and HO• paly a minor role in HEDP removal, and bromine radical species make a dominant responsible for HEDP oxidation. Additionally, NO3-, SO42-, Cl-, and HCO3- have a little effect on the degradation of HEDP, but the HEDP removal is greatly inhibited in the presence of humic acid (HA). However, the degradation efficiency of HEDP using PMS/Br- process in river and sewage is a much higher than UV/persulfate (PDS) and UV/H2O2 processes. This study provides a new sight into the effect of Br- on the degradation phosphonates in PMS activation process.

Abstract
Phosphonate used as scale inhibitor is a non-negligible eutrophic contaminant in corresponding polluted waters. Besides, its conversion to orthophosphate (ortho-P) is a precondition for realizing bioavailable phosphorus recovery. Due to the feeble degradation efficiency with less than 30 % from classical Fenton commonly used in industrial wastewater treatment and itself vulnerable to strong inhibition interference of matrix chloride ions, we proposed an electrochemical approach to transform the native salt in the solution into oxidizing substances, sort of achieving beneficial utilization of matrix waste, and enhanced the ortho-P conversion rate of 1-Hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) to 89.2 % (± 3.6 %). In electrochlorination system, it was found that HEDP rapidly complexed with Fe(II) and then coordinated in-situ Fe(III) to release free HEDP via intramolecular metal-ligand electron transfer reaction. The subsequent degradation mainly rooted in the oxidation of pivotal reactive species HClO, FeIVO2+ and 1O2, causing C-P and CC bonds to fracture in sequence. Eventually the organically bound phosphorus of HEDP was recovered as ortho-P. This study acquainted the audiences with the rare mechanism of chloridion-triggered HEDP degradation under electrochemical way, as well as offered a feasible technology for synchronous transformation of organically bound phosphorus to ortho-P and elimination from phosphonates.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the smear layer and debris removal and antimicrobial activity of two dual-action irrigating solutions for continuous chelation (Triton; Brasseler, Savannah, USA and Dual Rinse HEDP; Medcem GmbH, Weinfelden, Switzerland) with a dual step irrigation protocol with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) followed by ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). METHODS Thirty single-rooted single-canal teeth were divided into three groups (n=10) and irrigated with Triton, Dual Rinse HEDP mixed with 6% NaOCl and 6% NaOCl/17% EDTA. The teeth were observed under a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to assess the canal wall cleanliness. In addition, 80 dentine discs were contaminated with Candida albicans and 80 discs with Enterococcus faecalis and irrigated with Triton, Dual Rinse HEDP mixed with 6% NaOCl and 6% NaOCl/17% EDTA or not treated (n=20). Fifteen discs were used to evaluate colony-forming units, while 5 discs were analysed by SEM. Data were analysed using the Shapiro- Wilk, Kruskal-Wallis and One-Way ANOVA tests. RESULTS Triton was statistically more effective than Dual Rinse HEDP and NaOCl/EDTA in removing debris (p<0.05), except with NaOCl/EDTA in the coronal third. Triton was more effective than Dual Rinse HEDP in removing the smear layer from the apical and middle thirds (p<0.05). All the irrigation protocols significantly re- duced the number of E. faecalis. The Triton group showed the lowest number of remaining C. albicans (p<0.05). CONCLUSION Triton was the most effective irrigation solution in removing debris and as effective as NaOCl/ EDTA in removing the smear layer. Triton showed the highest efficacy against C. albicans. New irrigating solutions that provide continuous chelation may provide an alternative to current irrigation protocols.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the impact of different irrigation protocols on debris extrusion. Single-rooted teeth were distributed into groups based on the irrigation protocols (n = 40): 2.5% NaOCl (biomechanical preparation: 20 mL and final irrigation: 5 mL); 2.5% NaOCl (biomechanical preparation: 20 mL) + 17% EDTA (final irrigation: 2 mL) + 2.5% NaOCl (final irrigation: 3 mL); and a mixture of 5% NaOCl +18% HEDP (biomechanical preparation: 20 mL and final irrigation: 5 mL). The canals were prepared using a reciprocating instrument size 40/0.06. For final irrigation, the groups were reassigned based on the agitation methods (n = 10): (a) no agitation; (b) ultrasonic; (c) sonic; and (d) continuous rotation. The control group (n = 10) received saline solution without agitation. The amount of debris extruded was measured by weight and analysed using One-way ANOVA (α < 0.05). The subgroups treated with NaOCl + HEDP mixture showed a significantly higher amount of extruded debris (p < 0.05), while there was no difference among agitation methods in all groups (p > 0.05).

Abstract
Organic phosphonates have been widely used in various industries and are ubiquitous in wastewaters, and efficient removal of phosphonates is still a challenge for the conventional processes because of the severe interferences from the complex water constitutions. Herein, an Nd-based nanocomposite (HNdO@PsAX) was fabricated by immobilizing hydrated neodymium oxide (HNdO) nanoparticles inside a polystyrene anion exchanger (PsAX) to remove phosphonates from high-salinity aqueous media. Batch experiments demonstrated that HNdO@PsAX had an excellent adsorption capacity (∼90.5 mg P/g-Nd) towards a typical phosphonate (1-hydrox-yethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid, HEDP) from the background of 8 g/L NaCl, whereas negligible HEDP adsorption was achieved by PsAX. Attractively, various coexisting substances (humic acid, phosphate, citrate, EDTA, metal ligands, and anions) exerted negligible effects on the HEDP adsorption by HNdO@PsAX under high salinity. FT-IR and XPS analyses revealed that the inner-sphere complexation between HEDP and the immobilized HNdO nanoparticles is responsible for HEDP adsorption. Fixed-bed experiments further verified that HNdO@PsAX was capable of successively treating more than 4500 bed volumes (BV) of a synthetic high-salinity wastewater (1.0 mg P/L of HEDP), whereas only ∼2 BV of effective treatment capacity was received by PsAX. The exhausted HNdO@PsAX was amenable to a complete regeneration by a binary NaOHNaCl solution without significant loss in capacity. The capability in removing other organic phosphonates and treating a real electroplating wastewater by HNdO@PsAX was further validated. Generally, HNdO@PsAX exhibited a great potential in efficiently removing phosphonates from high-salinity wastewater.

Abstract
The most significant occurrence of food-borne diseases is due to Campylobacter and Salmonella contamination from chicken meat, and for this reason, strict regulations about strategies to improve the control of food pathogens are imposed by food safety authorities. Despite the efforts of poultry industry since the beginning of risk analysis and critical control point to reduce the burden of food-borne illness, technological barriers along the way are increasingly necessary to ensure safe food. The aim of this review was to carry out a scientific approach to the influence of peracetic acid (PAA) as an antimicrobial and its toxicological safety, in particular the stabilizer used in the formulation of PAA, 1-hydroxyethylidene 1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP), suggesting the possibility of researching the residual HEDP in meat, which would allow the approval of the PAA by the health authorities of several countries that still restrict it. This review also aims to ascertain the effectiveness of PAA, in different cuts and carcasses, by different application methods, comparing the effectiveness of this antimicrobial with other antimicrobials, and its exclusive or combined use, for the decontamination of poultry carcasses and raw parts. The literature results support the popularity of PAA as an effective intervention against pathogenic bacteria during poultry processing.

Abstract
Metal ions or metal (hydrogen) oxides are widely used as active sites in the construction of phosphate-adsorbing materials in water, but the removal of soluble organophosphorus from water remains technically difficult. Herein, synchronous organophosphorus oxidation and adsorption removal were achieved using electrochemically coupled metal-hydroxide nanomaterials. La-Ca/Fe-layered double hydroxide (LDH) composites prepared using the impregnation method removed both phytic acid (inositol hexaphosphate, IHP) and hydroxy ethylidene diphosphonic acid (HEDP) acid under an applied electric field. The solution properties and electrical parameters were optimized under the following conditions: organophosphorus solution pH = 7.0, organophosphorus concentration = 100 mg L-1, material dosage = 0.1 g, voltage = 15 V, and plate spacing = 0.3 cm. The electrochemically coupled LDH accelerates the removal of organophosphorus. The IHP and HEDP removal rates were 74.9% and 47%, respectively in only 20 min, 50% and 30% higher, respectively, than that of La-Ca/Fe-LDH alone. The removal rate in actual wastewater reached 98% in only 5 min. Meanwhile, the good magnetic properties of electrochemically coupled LDH allow easy separation. The LDH adsorbent was characterized using scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analysis. It exhibits a stable structure under electric field conditions, and its adsorption mechanism mainly includes ion exchange, electrostatic attraction, and ligand exchange. This new approach for enhancing the adsorption capacity of LDH has broad application prospects in organophosphorus removal from water.

Abstract
We evaluated the shear bond strength (SBS) of mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and Biodentine (BD) to coronal dentin after treatment with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), phytic acid (IP6), or etidronic acid (HEDP). Sodium hypochlorite-treated dentin surfaces were randomly divided into four groups according to conditioning protocol namely, 17% EDTA, 2.5% IP6, 9% HEDP, or distilled water (DS). Specimens were further divided according to the type of cement placed on conditioned dentin and SBS was tested. The results showed that DS/MTA and IP6/MTA groups had the highest values, and there was no significant difference between these two groups. IP6/BD group showed a lower SBS value compared to IP6/MTA; however, this did not reach the level of significance. The BS to dentin was influenced by the type of calcium silicate material and chelating agent. IP6 either improved or maintained the bonding while EDTA and HEDP showed a negative or no influence effect.

Abstract
The discharge of raw industrial, agricultural, and domestic wastes leads to an increase in heavy metal (HM) burden and detergents in aquatic environs, which can have destructive effects on aquatic organisms. Agarophyte Gracilaria corticata, a major component of seaweed flora of the southern coast of Iran (Bushehr) that contains agar and red pigments, is one of the economically valuable red marine algae. Agar is one of the important polysaccharides with high economic value, widely used in pharmaceutical, medicinal, and cosmetic product manufacturing industries. The aim of this work was to investigate the effect of 5 HMs and two common surfactants in household and industrial detergents on the agar yield, appearance color, and the red algae's phycoremediation potential against HMs. The metal ions were Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), and Cr(VI), and the surfactants were HEDP and CAPB. The analysis results of samples cultured for 60 days in seawater and polluted environments showed that G. corticata can accumulate copper and nickel. In the presence of detergents without HMs, the amount of extracted agar significantly increased compared to the control sample with no change in algae color. But with increasing concentration of HMs, the amount of agar in seaweed samples decreased significantly, and the algae discolored from red to dark green or yellowish-green color (signs of death in the algae). These results show that increasing of HM pollution and detergents can lead to toxicological effects and reduce the species diversity of red seaweeds in the future.

Abstract
The bone-targeting mechanism of clinic bisphosphonate-type drugs, such as alendronate, risedronate, and ibandronate, relies on chelated calcium ions on the surface of the bone mineralized matrix for the treatment of osteoporosis. EGTA with aminocarboxyl chelating ligands can specifically chelate calcium ions. Inspired by the bone-targeting mechanism of bisphosphonates, we hypothesize that EGTA-derived carbon dots (EGTA-CDs) hold bone-targeting ability. For the target-oriented synthesis of EGTA-CDs and to endow CDs with bone targeting, we designed calcium ion chelating agents as precursors, including aminocarboxyl chelating agents (EGTA and EDTA) and bisphosphonate agents (ALN and HEDP) for the target-oriented synthesis of aminocarboxyl-derived CDs (EGTA-CDs and EDTA-CDs) and bisphosphonate-derived CDs (ALN-CDs and HEDP-CDs) with high synthetic yield. The synthetic yield of EGTA-CDs reached 87.6%. Aminocarboxyl-derived CDs and bisphosphonate-derived CDs retain the chelation ability of calcium ions and can specifically bind calcium ions. The chemical environment bone-targeting value coordination constant K and chelation sites of EGTA-CDs were 6.48 × 104 M-1 and 4.12, respectively. A novel method was established to demonstrate the bone-targeting capability of chelate-functionalized carbon dots using fluorescence quenching in a simulated bone trauma microenvironment. EGTA-CDs exhibit superior bone-targeting ability compared with other aminocarboxyl-derived CDs and bisphosphonate-derived CDs. EGTA-CDs display exceptional specificity toward calcium ions and better bone affinity than ALN-CDs, suggesting their potential as novel bone-targeting drugs. EGTA-CDs with strong calcium ion chelating ability have calcium ion affinity in simulated body fluid and bone-targeting ability in a simulated bone trauma microenvironment. These findings offer new avenues for the development of advanced bone-targeting strategies.

Abstract
Reverse osmosis (RO) is an advanced technology used to produce potable water from a variety of water sources, including surface water, seawater and wastewater. The yield of the product water from the RO systems is increased by the addition of antiscalants which prevent scaling from calcium and other ions. Removal of antiscalants from RO concentrate can induce the precipitation of oversaturated scale-forming substances, enable additional water recovery from RO concentrates, and reduce the risk of eutrophication after concentrate disposal into the receiving water (e.g., river water). This study aims to provide a better insight into oxidation reactions of the N-free phosphonate antiscalants 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) and 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid (PBTC) with ozone, hydroxyl radical (•OH) and sulfate radicals (SO4•-). Ozone barely reacts with HEDP and PBTC at pH 7 (k < 10 M-1s - 1), while second order reaction rates of SO4•- and •OH were determined to be in the range 107-108M - 1s - 1. Sulfate, silicate and chloride matrices increased HEDP ozone degradation rate possibly due to metal complexation effect. Whereas carbonate and chloride hindered PBTC ozone degradation, and natural organic matter (NOM) inhibited both HEDP and PBTC degradation through scavenging of •OH. The SO4•-- radical based oxidation process of HEDP and PBTC is mainly inhibited by carbonate and NOM, interestingly only HEDP degradation is inhibited by chloride whereby the PBTC could not be fully degraded (degradation < 60%). The oxidation of PBTC is in real RO concentrates in both processes limited to 10% degradation, whereas HEDP could be degraded up to 60% with ozone and UV/persulfate application.

Abstract
Nanosized spinel cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) shows high performance in peroxymonosulfate (PMS) activation for decontamination in water, but is yet challenged by the easily leached Co(II) with high toxicity. Herein, macroporous polystyrene resin is used as the support to improve the stability of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles during PMS activation. CoFe2O4@S201 exerted high catalytic activity toward PMS activation for oxidation of 1-hydroxyethane 1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP), with the apparent rate normalized by Co content 38.2 times higher than that of the unsupported CoFe2O4. Meanwhile, one order of magnitude lower Co leaching (< 2.1 μg L-1) was detected during the catalytic oxidation. The Co(II)-PMS complex was the primary oxidant responsible for the oxidation of HEDP. The catalytic durability and stability of CoFe2O4@S201 for degradation of HEDP in actual wastewater were systematically evaluated in both batch and continuous-flow mode. It is found that the organic resin, which is often considered to be intolerant to oxidation, is rather stable during the non-radical process. The total cobalt leaching of the fresh CoFe2O4@S201 cannot be ignored in the 100-h continuous-flow run. In contrast, much lower cobalt leaching and slightly higher oxidation efficiency were observed for the regenerated CoFe2O4@S201, which might be due to the removal of unreactive and unstable Co sites on the surface in the first trial. The findings shed light on the potential of organic supports for improving the stability and activity of nanosized CoFe2O4 and other nano-catalysts toward practical application.

Abstract
Equipment scaling leads to reduced production efficiency in a wide range of industrial applications worldwide. Various antiscaling agents are currently commonly used to mitigate this problem. However, irrespective of their long and successful application in water treatment technologies, little is known about the mechanisms of scale inhibition, particularly the localization of scale inhibitors on scale deposits. The lack of such knowledge is a limiting factor in the development of applications for antiscalants. Meanwhile, fluorescent fragments integrated into scale inhibitor molecules have provided a successful solution to the problem. The focus of this study is, therefore, on the synthesis and investigation of a novel fluorescent antiscalant: (2-(6-morpholino-1,3-dioxo-1H-benzo[de]isoquinolin-2(3H)yl)ethylazanediyl)bis(methylenephosphonic acid) (ADMP-F) which is an analog of the commercial antiscalant: aminotris(methylenephosphonic acid) (ATMP). ADMP-F has been found to effectively control the precipitation of CaCO3 and CaSO4 in solution and is a promising tracer for organophosphonate scale inhibitors. ADMP-F was compared with two other fluorescent antiscalants-polyacrylate (PAA-F1) and bisphosphonate (HEDP-F)-and was found to be highly effective: PAA-F1 > ADMP-F >> HEDP-F (CaCO3) and PAA-F1 > ADMP-F > HEDP-F (CaSO4·2H2O). The visualization of the antiscalants on the deposits provides unique information on their location and reveals differences in the "antiscalant-deposit" interactions for scale inhibitors of different natures. For these reasons, a number of important refinements to the mechanisms of scale inhibition are proposed.

Abstract
In order to explore the adsorption characteristics of phosphorus from molecules with different molecular structures and varying number of phosphate groups on metal-modified biochar, walnut shell biochar was modified with LaCl3 to prepare lanthanum-loaded biochar (BC-La). Adsorption of four polar components, namely phytic acid (IHP), adenosine-5'-disodium triphosphate (5-ATP), hydroxyethylidene diphosphonic acid (HEDP), and sodium pyrophosphate (PP), was studied. The adsorption properties and mechanism of phosphorus sorption by BC-La were analyzed by SEM-EDS and FTIR for the different structures. The results showed that the maximum adsorption capacity of BC-La for IHP, 5-ATP, HEDP, and PP was 85.85, 9.04, 15.80, and 14.45 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption capacity was positively correlated with the polarity of organic phosphorus. The adsorption behavior conformed to the quasi second-order kinetic fitting equation, and the increase of temperature was conducive to the removal of all four phosphorus pollutants. BC-La adsorbs IHP and HEDP mainly through electrostatic attraction. The adsorption of 5-ATP and PP is dominated by complexation. The La-modified biochar has broad prospects in water remediation, which can provide a theoretical basis for removal of different forms of phosphorus pollutants and prevention and control of water eutrophication.

Abstract
The feasibility of decomplexation removal of typical contaminants in electroplating wastewater, complexed Cu(II) with 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (Cu-HEDP), was first performed by a three-dimensional electrode reactor with activated biochar as particle electrodes. For the case of 50 mg/L Cu-HEDP, Cu(II) removal (90.7%) and PO43- conversion (34.9%) were achieved under the conditions of electric current 40 mA, initial pH 7, acid-treated almond shell biochar (AASB) addition 20 g/L, and reaction time 180 min, with second-order rate constants of 1.10 × 10-3 and 1.94 × 10-5 min-1 respectively. The growing chelating effect between Cu(II) and HEDP and the comprehensive actions of adsorptive accumulation, direct and indirect oxidation given by particle electrodes accounted for the enhanced removal of Cu-HEDP, even though the mineralization of HEDP was mainly dependent on anode oxidation. The performance attenuation of AASB particle electrodes was ascribed to the excessive consumption of oxygen-containing functionalities during the reaction, especially acidic carboxylic groups and quinones on particle electrodes, which decreased from 446.74 to 291.48 µmol/g, and 377.55 to 247.71 µmol/g, respectively. Based on the determination of adsorption behavior and indirect electrochemical oxidation mediated by in situ electrogenerated H2O2 and reactive oxygen species (e.g., •OH), a possible removal mechanism of Cu-HEDP by three-dimensional electrolysis was further proposed.

Abstract
Mutations in the ataxin-2 gene (ATXN2) cause the neurodegenerative disorders amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2). A therapeutic strategy using antisense oligonucleotides targeting ATXN2 has entered clinical trial in humans. Additional ways to decrease ataxin-2 levels could lead to cheaper or less invasive therapies and elucidate how ataxin-2 is normally regulated. Here, we perform a genome-wide fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS)-based CRISPR-Cas9 screen in human cells and identify genes encoding components of the lysosomal vacuolar ATPase (v-ATPase) as modifiers of endogenous ataxin-2 protein levels. Multiple FDA-approved small molecule v-ATPase inhibitors lower ataxin-2 protein levels in mouse and human neurons, and oral administration of at least one of these drugs-etidronate-is sufficient to decrease ataxin-2 in the brains of mice. Together, we propose v-ATPase as a drug target for ALS and SCA2 and demonstrate the value of FACS-based screens in identifying genetic-and potentially druggable-modifiers of human disease proteins.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study assessed geospatial patterns of early-onset hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (eHDP) in primiparous mothers and exposure to industrial emissions using geocoded residential information from Kentucky live (N = 210,804) and still (N = 1,247) birth records (2008–2017) and census block group estimates of aerosol concentrations of arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zi) from the Risk Screening Environmental Indicators (RSEI) model. A latent class analysis allowed for the identification of four district exposure classes—As, Cd, and Pb (12.6%); Se and Zi (21.4%); Pb and Cr (8%); and low or no exposures (57.9%). Women classified as having a high probability of exposure to both Pb and Cr had a statistically significantly greater prevalence of eHDP after adjusting for demographic factors (aPR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.44) relative to those with low or no exposure. Our findings contribute to the emerging literature on the association of metal exposures with pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract
Soil washing is considered a highly efficient technology due to its higher removal rate of multiple heavy metals from contaminated soil. However, previous studies on Cd, Pb and As washing agents for soils with complex contaminations did not consider the differences in As and Cd/Pb properties, resulting in the lack of effective washing compounds and washing conditions for soils with complex contaminations. Moreover, most traditional washing agents can cause secondary pollution. In this study, HEDTA and lactic acid (LA) treatments resulted in a higher Cd and Pb removal, while 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (HEDP) was more effective in As removal. Most importantly, a new washing strategy was proposed with a new combined high-efficiency washing agents consisting of HEDP + LA + FeCl3 with a ratio of 6:3:1. Considering washing efficiency and consumption under optimal washing conditions, i.e. the soil/liquid (S/L) ratio of 1:20 and washing time of 48 h, the rates of Cd, Pb and As removal were 79.93%, 69.84% and 61.55%, respectively. In addition, washing process could influence the speciation of heavy metals, especially oxidizable and residual Cd and Pb fractions, as well as reducible As fraction. The washing process using the new washing agent can significantly reduce the pollution level and health risk of Cd, Pb and As contamination. The results of this study can provide an efficient washing agent for the remediation of heavy metal-contaminated soils at smelting sites, which will help protect human health.

Abstract
188Re and 186Re are two applicable rhenium medical radioisotopes with complementary features that make them beneficial for different sizes of tumours. The aim of this study is to investigate 188/186Re-HEDP efficacy as a cocktail by calculating absorbed radiation dose in human organs based on biodistribution data obtained by injecting it to normal rats. Three rats were sacrificed at different time intervals and the percentage of injected dose per gram of each organ was measured by direct counting from rat data. By calculating accumulated activities in each organ and extrapolating rat data to human data by the radiation dose assessment resource method and by using OLINDA/EXM software, the injected dose in various human organs was obtained. The calculated absorbed dose showed that the 188/186Re-HEDP has noticeable properties that can be more helpful in comparison with using each of the rhenium radioisotopes separately.

Abstract
Twenty-one patients with multiple myeloma were examined in close time relation with skeletal X-ray survey and bone scanning using technetium diphosphonate. Results indicate that X-ray is superior to bone scan in detecting myelomatous bone lesions. Approximately twice as many lesions were detected by X-ray as by bone scan. An exception to this general finding is the lumbar spine and rib cage, in which the two methods are equally reliable. Thus, a negative bone scan does not exclude the possibility of a myelomatous bone lesion.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The radiation exposure to bystanders from 89SrCl2, 186Re-HEDP and 153Sm-EDTMP, is generally thought to be caused by "bremsstrahlung" and gamma-radiation, with negligible contribution from beta-radiation. The latter assumption may be erroneous. The aim of this prospective study was the investigation of radiation safety after treatment with these radiopharmaceuticals. The radiation field around treated patients was characterized and the magnitude estimated. PATIENTS, METHODS 33 patients (30 prostate carcinoma, 3 breast carcinoma) were treated with 150 MBq 89SrCl2 (9 patients), 1295 MBq 186Re-HEDP (12 patients) or 37 MBq/kg 153Sm-EDTMP (12 patients). External exposure rates at 30 cm from the patient were measured at times 0 to 72 h post-injection. To evaluate the respective contribution of Bremsstrahlung, beta- and gamma-radiation, a calibrated survey meter was used, equipped with a shutter. For each patient, the measured exposure rate-versus-time data were fit to a curve and the curve integrated (area under the curve) to estimate the total exposure. RESULTS For 29/33 patients the total ambient equivalent doses (mean+/-1 standard deviation [SD]) based on the integral of the fitted curve were 2.1+/-1.2 mSv for 89SrCl2, 3.3+/-0.6 mSv for 186Re-HEDP and 2.8+/-0.6 mSv for 153Sm-EDTMP. Beta-radiation contributes significantly to these doses (>99% for 89SrCl2, 87% for 186Re-HEDP and 27% for 153Sm-EDTMP). The effective doses (at 30 cm) are <0.1 mSv for 89SrCl2, 0.3 mSv for 186Re-HEDP and 1.6 mSv for 153Sm-EDTMP. CONCLUSION Patients treated with 89SrCl2, 186Re-HEDP or 153Sm-EDTMP emit a spectrum of radiation, including non-negligible beta-radiation. With specific instructions effective doses to bystanders are acceptable.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The lifetime risk of fracture in white women is 20% for the spine, 15% for the wrist, and 18% for the hip, with an exponential increase in risk beyond the age of 50 years. METHODS AND OUTCOMES We conducted a systematic review and aimed to answer the following clinical question: What are the effects of treatments to prevent fractures in postmenopausal women? We searched: Medline, Embase, The Cochrane Library and other important databases up to January 2007. (BMJ Clinical evidence reviews are updated periodically, please check our website for the most up-to-date version of this review). We included harms alerts from relevant organisations such as the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA). RESULTS We found 61 systematic reviews, RCTs, or observational studies that met our inclusion criteria. We performed a GRADE evaluation of the quality of evidence for interventions. CONCLUSIONS In this systematic review we present information relating to the effectiveness and safety of the following interventions: alendronate, calcitonin, calcium, calcium plus vitamin D, clodronate, etidronate, exercise, hip protectors, hormone replacement therapy, ibandronate, multifactorial non-pharmacological interventions, pamidronate, parathyroid hormone, raloxifene, risedronate, strontium ranelate, vitamin D, and vitamin D analogues.

Abstract
In the current study, the impact of lubricant parameters on simulated root canal instrumentation was investigated. Using size 30 ProFile .06 instruments in milled artificial root canals in human dentin, the effects of sodium hypochlorite (1% NaOCl) and a chelator (18% etidronic acid) in aqueous irrigants on maximum torque, full torsional load, and maximum force values were gauged using a torque testing platform. Furthermore, the impact of the time a chelating lubricant was exposed to dentin as well as its galenic form (aqueous vs. gel-type) on the above outcome variables was evaluated. Aqueous lubricants significantly (p < 0.05, ANOVA, Newman-Keuls) reduced all outcome variables compared to dry conditions. The incorporation of a chelator further reduced these values (p < 0.05), whereas hypochlorite behaved similar to water. The chelator effect was immediate and did not increase with time. An aqueous lubricant was more beneficial than a gel-type counterpart.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Our purpose was to compare reviewing time and diagnostic accuracy in the interpretation of radiographs without and with subtraction images and to examine whether this temporal subtraction technique can contribute to improving radiologists' performance. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty cases with newly developed chest abnormalities on chest radiographs and 90 negative cases were selected. All chest radiographs were obtained with a computed radiography system. For the 90 negative cases, subtraction images were classified into two groups: 33 clean images without misregistration artifacts and 57 images with some misregistration artifacts. Eight radiologists (four board-certified radiologists and four radiology residents) participated in observer tests and interpreted the original radiographs without and with subtraction images using an independent test method. The reviewing time for each radiologist was recorded in each case. The observers' performance was evaluated by use of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. RESULTS When subtraction images were available, the mean reviewing time per case was reduced significantly from 13.6 to 10.8 seconds for the cases with newly developed abnormalities (p < 0.001) and from 29.8 to 14.1 seconds for negative cases (p < 0.001). The reduction in the mean reviewing time with subtraction images was greater for clean images than for images with artifacts (17.7 vs 14.5 seconds, p < 0.001). The average mean area under the ROC curve value increased significantly from 0.942 without subtraction images to 0.988 with subtraction images (p = 0.025). There were significant differences in the sensitivity (0.963 with and 0.888 without the subtraction images) and the specificity (0.976 with and 0.899 without the subtraction images) (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The temporal subtraction technique can reduce reviewing time and also improve diagnostic accuracy in the interpretation of chest radiographs.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of reducing surface tension in endodontic chelator solutions on their ability to remove calcium from instrumented root canals. Aqueous solutions containing 15.5% EDTA, 10% citric acid, or 18% 1- hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-bisphosphonate (HEBP) were prepared with and without 1% (wt/wt) polysorbate (Tween) 80 and 9% propylene glycol. Surface tension in these solutions was measured using the Wilhelmy method. Sixty-four extracted, single-rooted human teeth of similar length were instrumented and irrigated with a 1% sodium hypochlorite solution and then randomly assigned (n = 8 per group) to receive a final one-minute rinse with 5 ml of test solutions, water, or the pure aqueous Tween/propylene glycol solution. Calcium concentration in eluates was measured using atomic absorption spectrometry. Incorporation of wetting agents resulted in a reduction of surface tension values by approximately 50% in all tested solutions. However, none of the solutions with reduced surface tension chelated more calcium from canals than their pure counterparts (p > 0.05).

Abstract
PURPOSE Rhenium-188 hydroxyethylidine diphosphonate (HEDP) is a new and attractive radiopharmaceutical that localizes in skeletal metastases and emits beta particles that may be therapeutically beneficial. In this study, the therapeutic efficacy of Re-188 HEDP was investigated in an uncontrolled initial trial of 61 patients with different types of advanced cancer for the palliation of painful bone metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-one patients with painful bone metastases of lung, prostate, breast, renal, rhinopharyngeal, and bladder cancers were treated with 1.1 GBq (31 mCi) to 6.9 GBq (188 mCi) Re-188 HEDP. After treatment, the patients were followed at weekly intervals for the first 2 months and monthly thereafter for as long as 1 year. Hematologic function tests were also performed before and after treatment for 6 weeks. Pain responses were scored according to a three-point pain-rating scale as complete, significant, and minimal. RESULTS Prompt and significant relief of bone pain occurred in 80% of patients overall. Of the specific tumor types, pain relief was achieved in 77% of patients with lung cancer, in 80% with prostate cancer, in 83% with breast cancer, in 100% with bladder cancer, in 50% with renal cancer, in 50% with rhinopharyngeal cancer, and in 87% of patients with other tumor types, with no severe side effects or hematopoietic toxicity. CONCLUSION This large clinical trial verified that Re-188 HEDP is a useful radiopharmaceutical agent to treat painful bone metastases from various tumor types.

Abstract
Successive injections of 1-hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-bisphosphonate (HEBP) in rats induce enamel hypoplasia. To elucidate the pathogenesis of this hypoplasia, male Wistar rats were daily injected with HEBP or physiological saline for 7 days. After the last injection, they were killed under anaesthesia and their maxillary incisors were examined using an in situ hybridization technique and immunohistochemical staining to detect the gene expression and localization of amelogenin protein, respectively. In the HEBP-injected rats, several islets of partially mineralized enamel were present along crown-analogous surface of the incisor in the secretory stage of amelogenesis and enamel-free zones existed between these islets. In situ hybridization demonstrated amelogenin gene expression over the ameloblasts facing the islets of the matrix enamel as well as over those of the enamel-free zones. Immunohistochemical studies using rabbit antiamelogenin antibody revealed positive reaction both in the enamel matrix of the control group and in the islets of enamel matrix of the HEBP-injected group. Some small granules immunoreactive to amelogenin antibody were found in the distal portions of the ameloblasts in the HEBP-injected rats. The results indicate that HEBP does not alter amelogenin gene expression over ameloblasts, or the protein's existence in enamel matrix. There appeared to be some accumulation of amelogenin in the HEBP-treated ameloblasts. It is therefore suggested that the enamel hypoplasia in this experiment may not be due to a disturbance in amelogenin synthesis but to a disturbance in a later process, presumably of protein secretion.

Abstract
In the past, many diphosphonates were introduced as bone scan radiopharmaceuticals. In addition, diphosphonates have been labeled with beta-emitted isotopes and developed into useful therapeutic drugs for bone metastases. However, it is not clear which diphosphonate is the best choice when labeling with Re-188. In this study, we labeled methylene diphosphonate (MDP), hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate (HEDP), and hydroxymethane diphosphonate (HDP) with Re-188. Each radiopharmaceutical was further evaluated in two conditions (with and without carrier). Twenty-four rabbits were used (four in each group) for the analysis of the biodistributions and bone uptakes of these radiopharmaceuticals to assess their potential for clinical applicability. Four hours after intravenous injection of approximately 37 MBq (1 mCi) Re-188-labeled diphosphonate preparations, whole body scans were performed using a large-field gamma camera equipped with a high resolution collimator. Bone-to-soft tissue ratios (B/S ratio) were calculated using a computer program. Our data showed that Re-188 HEDP with carrier (10(-4) M carrier) could accumulate in the skeletal system whereas very little absorption by bone was observed in the rabbits that were injected with carrier-free Re-188 HEDP. In addition, no significant bone uptake was demonstrated for Re-188 MDP or Re-188 HDP, with or without carrier. The B/S ratio was 25.06 in the Re-188 HEDP with carrier group but less than 3 in the other groups. In conclusion, HEDP is the best choice among these three bone-seeking drugs when labeled with Re-188. But, it is necessary to add carrier when preparing Re-188 HEDP for the treatment of bone metastases.

Abstract
The biotinylated monoclonal antibody (MoAb) ior cea1 and its F(ab')2 fragments were labeled with Re-188 by combination of avidin-biotin strategy. 188Re-MoAb, 188Re-MoAb-biotin, 188Re-F(ab')2, and 188Re-F(ab')2-biotin preparations were produced for these studies with specific activities of 1.30+/-0.18 GBq/mg and from instant freeze-dried kit formulations using ethane-1-hydroxy-1,1-diphosphonic acid (EHDP) as a weak competing ligand. There were no significant differences (p > 0.05) between the biodistribution in mice of biotinylated and unbiotinylated 188Re-labeled immunoconjugates. When avidin was injected as a chase after injection of 188Re-MoAb-biotin or 188Re-F(ab')2-biotin, the blood radioactivity level decreased approximately 75% (cumulated activity) and the effective dose decreased almost 25% with respect to that of the radioimmunoconjugates in which the chase effect was not used. Our results suggest that 188Re-labeled biotinylated MoAb ior ceal and its F(ab')2 fragments prepared by this method are stable complexes in vivo.

Abstract
Direct clinical observation is the most common means of diagnosing algodystrophy. Further investigations may be helpful to rule out other pathological conditions, such as occult or stress fractures or avascular osteonecrosis and to obtain a better understanding of algodystrophy. Transient vascular hyperpermeability in the affected part is well demonstrated by the clinical findings, the MRI signs, and the three-bone scan features. 99m Technectium EHDP bone scan provides an evaluation of the vascular abnormalities and of the osteoblastic activity. Dermal microcirculation and its reactions to sympathetic stimuli are investigated by laser doppler fluximetry and videophotometric capillaroscopy. Perhaps the sweat test does unveil what might be specific about algodystrophy. The amount of bone loss in algodystrophy in a few weeks or months is what might be expected over 10 years during the natural history of uncomplicated osteoporosis. An initial fracture is undoubtedly an initiating event in the appearance of algodystrophy, but patients suffering from algodystrophy may still have significant osteoporosis for a long period and hence be at risk for fracture. Densitometry could be an aid to the diagnosis and probably to monitoring treatment as well. The local colonization of fibroblasts following the transient stage of hyperpermeability must be kept in mind to explain the results of joint, bone, muscles or neurological investigations in late algodystrophy.

Abstract
A true recurrence at exactly the same site is quite unusual in algodystrophy. Local or regional extension is possible. The bone scan is an easy way to demonstrate that the areas successively affected are not the same. An apparent local recurrence could in fact be a microscopic compression fracture of trabecular bone or cortical fractures or part of a factitious disorder.

Abstract
A common complication in patients with breast or prostate cancer is bone metastases causing pain. New radionuclide therapy methods have recently been proposed for palliation, including 186Re-hydroxyethylidene diphosphonate (186Re-HEDP). This paper reports on the local development of 186Re-HEDP and the biodistribution studied in animals for eventual use in patients. Adult dose was computed assuming a 70 kg standard man. The 186Re was labelled to HEDP using standard techniques. The biodistribution in five Chacma baboons (Papio ursinus) was studied. Doses ranging from 39.4 to 44.9 MBq kg(-1) (mean 43.6 +/- 2.8 MBq kg[-1]) were administered, corresponding to an adult human dose of 2960 MBq (80 mCi). Whole-body images of the animals were obtained with a dual-headed scintillation camera on an hourly basis for 6 h post-injection and then daily for 3 days. The bone, soft tissue, kidneys and urinary bladder were considered source organs and data from these organs were used in a compartmental model to obtain the mean residence times of the radionuclide in the different source organs. Radiation dose estimates for 186Re-HEDP were subsequently obtained with the MIRDOSE 3 program. The estimated absorbed radiation doses to some of the organs (expressed in mGy MBq[-l]) were as follows: bone surface 1.69; kidneys 0.09; liver 0.04; ovaries 0.04; red marrow 0.75; total body 0.12; urinary bladder wall 0.43. 186Re-HEDP yielded an effective dose of 0.17 mSv MBq(-1). The radiation dose delivered to the bone marrow in this study did not cause any detrimental effect to the baboons, indicating that locally produced 186Re-HEDP is suitable for clinical use.

Abstract
Correction of impaired phosphoric-calcium metabolism was performed in 15 hemodialysis patients with terminal chronic renal failure (TCRF). For this purpose a synthetic analogue of pyrophosphoric acid xidiphone produced in Russia was used (2% aqueous solution 1 tablespoon 3 times a day 0.5 h before meal for 2-3 months). Prior to and in the course of xidiphone treatment all the patients received calcium gluconate (1 g x 3 daily), polyvitamins, on-demand digoxine. Measurements of serum concentrations of urea, potassium, sodium, total calcium, alkaline phosphatase activity demonstrated xidiphone-related normalization of serum total calcium, serum activity of alkaline phosphatase, a mild rise of sodium. The results say in favor of using xidiphone in the TCRF patients.

Abstract
Complex observation and treatment of 112 patients with compressive-reflex syndromes of cervical osteochondrosis with pain as the leading clinical manifestation resulted in elaboration of the scheme of its pathogenesis. The main links of pathological process development as well as their relationships were described. The main means and methods of the correction of algesic syndrome development were determined on the basis of both own investigations and literary data. The peculiarity of this study was the inclusion of Xydiphone (the Russian-made drug from complexons group) in pathogenetic therapy. Its positive medical effect in treatment of the disease described was established.

Abstract
We examined bone composition and metabolism after hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in Wistar rats with 1-hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-bisphosphonate (HEBP)-induced rickets. Twenty rats at 4 wk of age were divided into four groups of five rats each. The HEBP + HBO group received high dose (50 mg.kg-1.day-1) HEBP injections subcutaneously for 7 days and were then exposed to HBO for 7 days. The HEBP group received only high dose HEBP injection for the first 7 days. Control group A received neither HEBP nor HBO. Control group B received no HEBP injection and was exposed to HBO only for the second 7 days. Both bone mineral and hydroxyproline contents significantly increased in rats in the HEBP + HBO group as compared with the HEBP group. Alkaline phosphatase activity of bone, which is a marker of osteoblastic activity and bone formation, was high in the HEBP + HBO and HEBP groups compared with control groups A and B, although there was no difference between the former two groups. On the other hand, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase activity, which is a marker of bone resorption, was lower in the HEBP + HBO group than in the HEBP group. These findings suggest that HBO suppresses bone resorption in high osteoblastic activity after the cessation of HEBP administration, and this phenomenon increases total bone mass.

Abstract
The effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) treatment on rachitic change was studied using 4-wk-old, 1-hydroxyethylidene-1, 1-bisphosphonic acid disodium (HEBP-EHDP)-induced rachitic rats. After treatment, the dry weight, ash weight, Ca and P content, and bone mineral density of the hind leg bones were measured in each rat. These parameters were significantly increased in the rats that were treated with HBO after HEBP administration compared with those parameters in the rats that received HEBP alone. However, there was no significant differences between the rats treated simultaneously with HEBP and HBO and those that were treated with HEBP alone. These results were consistent with radiologic and histologic findings. Marked calcification in the center of the growth plate was revealed in the rats treated with HBO after HEBP administration. We suggest that intermittent high-pressure pure oxygen has a beneficial effect on osteogenesis in rachitic bone but does not prevent rachitic change.

Abstract
The influence of disodium (1-hydroxythylidene) diphosphonate on the bonding between bone and porous, titanium fiber-mesh implants was studied. Rectangular, porous, titanium fiber-mesh implant (15 x 10 x 2.4 mm) were implanted into the tibial bone of mature male rabbits. The rabbits were divided into six groups. Disodium diphosphonate was administered daily by subcutaneous injection to groups 1-5. Groups 1-4 received doses of 5.0, 2.5, 1.0, and 0.1 mg per kilogram of body weight per day for 8 weeks, respectively. Group 5 received a dose of 5 mg per kilogram of body weight per day for 4 weeks. Group 6 (control group) was given saline injections. At 8 weeks after implantation, the rabbits were killed. The tibiae containing the implants were dissected out and subjected to detachment tests. The failure load, when an implant became detached from the bone or when the bone itself broke, was measured. The interface of the bone and implant was investigated by Giemsa surface staining and contact microradiography. Giemsa surface staining and contact microradiography showed that porous implant bonding to bone tissue was inhibited by a high dose of disodium diphosphonate in groups 1, 2, and 5. Soft tissue was observed at the interface. In groups 3, 4, and 6, bone tissue ingrowth was observed at the interface between the porous implant and bone tissue. Growth of bone into the porous fiber-mesh implant of a cementless prosthesis is possible if a low dose of diphosphonate below 1.0 mg per kilogram of body weight is given subcutaneously.

Abstract
The hemodynamic effects of the diphosphonate terminus of a new infarct-avid magnetic resonance (MR) imaging agent, gadolinium-DTPA (diethylenetriamine-pentaacetic acid) HPDP (1-hydroxo-3-aminopropane-1,1-diphosphonate), and HEDP (hydroxyethyl-1,1-diphosphonate) (a simple diphosphonate terminus model) have been evaluated at MR imaging doses in both isolated and intact rabbit hearts. Rapid injections of the sodium salt of the diphosphonates reversibly depressed left ventricular developed pressure and its first derivative (dP/dt) but did not affect the in vivo heart rate. Hemodynamic depression was prevented by the co-administration of two equivalents of calcium ion per diphosphonate terminus in the isolated heart and by either slow infusion or co-administration of one equivalent of calcium ion per diphosphonate terminus in the in vivo heart. Therefore, if these agents are to be used in MR imaging of acute myocardial infarction, appropriate measures should be taken to prevent negative inotropic effects.

Abstract
It has been reported that bioactive glass-ceramics containing crystalline oxy- and fluoroapatite [Ca10(PO4)6(O,F2) and wollastonite (CaSiO3), chemical composition: MgO 4.6, CaO 44.9, SiO2 34.2, P2O5 16.3, CaF2 0.5 in weight ratio] bond to bone tissue through the formation of an apatite (a calcium and phosphorus-rich layer) on the ceramic surface. In this study, the influence of disodium (1-hydroxythylidene) diphosphonate (DHTD) on the bonding between bone and glass-ceramics containing apatite and wollastonite was investigated. Rectangular ceramic plates (15 mm x 10 mm x 2 mm, abraded with #2000 alumina powder) were implanted into the tibial bone of mature male rabbits. DHTD was administered daily by subcutaneous injection to groups 1-5: group 1-4 at doses of 20, 5.0, 1.0, and 0.1 mg/kg body wt/day for 8 weeks; and group 5 at a dose of 5 mg/kg body wt/day for 4 weeks. Group 6 was given injections of saline as a control. At 8 weeks after implantation, the rabbits were killed. The tibiae containing the ceramics were dissected out and used for a detachment test. The failure load, when an implant became detached from the bone, or when the bone itself broke, was measured. The failure loads for groups 1-6 were 0 kg, 0 kg, 8.08 +/- 2.43 kg, 7.28 +/- 2.07 kg, 5.56 +/- 1.63 kg, and 6.38 +/- 1.30 kg, respectively. Ceramic bonding to bone tissue was inhibited by a higher dose of DHTD (groups 1 and 2).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The C14 radioactive label of PPi analogues was incorporated to E. histolytica after 24 hours of incubation at 37 degrees C; more than 90% of trophozoites remained viable. The PPi dependent phosphofructokinase was isolated in order to determine its kinetic parameters. With PPi, the Km was 18.06 +/- 0.91 micromol/mL-1. Using three different PPi analogues (tetrasodium salts) of (I) 1,1 hydroxy-methyl diphosphonate; (II) 1,1 hydroxy ethylene diphosphonate; (III) 1,1 hydroxy-nonano diphosphonate, KiI was 35.19 +/- 1.74; KiII was 42.65 +/- 0.65, and KiIII 2as 62.81 +/- 0.27 micromol/mL-1. The graphic expression of these results shows that the enzyme was competitively inhibited by the three analogues. When trophozoites were incubated with each one of the three inhibitors, a correlation was observed between the concentration and the cytolytic inhibition with an r = 0.98. Nevertheless, the slope obtained was different for each one of them. The smallest concentration of inhibitor to achieve a 50% lysis inhibition of trophozoites was that of inhibitor III. In addition, it was demonstrated that the incubation of the trophozoites with this inhibitor increased the time needed to destroy CHO cells. We conclude that enzymatic inhibition of the PPi dependent phosphofructokinase caused by the PPi analogues was responsible for the modification of the lytic capacity of trophozoites, possibly by altering the metabolic pathway of carbohydrates.

Abstract
In patients with renal bone disease skeletal and extra-skeletal abnormalities can be visualised using conventional bone scintigraphy. Some of these abnormalities are associated with characteristic scintigraphic appearances, which are reviewed in detail, and the possible mechanisms involved are discussed. Specific imaging with iodine 123 serum amyloid P component and iodine 131 beta 2-microglobulin is also discussed in the diagnosis of beta 2-microglobulin amyloidosis specific to patients on dialysis. In the light of available evidence, it appears that bone scintigraphy plays, so far, a limited role in the clinical evaluation of skeletal and extra-skeletal abnormalities in chronic renal failure. The potential role of bone scintigraphy in identifying patients with aluminium-related bone disease needs to be investigated further, and in this respect special attention must be given to the problem of high soft-tissue activity associated with impaired renal function. Timing haemodialysis sessions before scintigraphic imaging deserves wider recognition as it reduces high soft-tissue activity, thereby allowing bone uptake to be assessed more accurately. Specific imaging of amyloidosis resulting from beta 2-microglobulin deposition is a promising technique, but the relative value of the two proposed radiopharmaceuticals needs further clarification.

Abstract
Bone scintiscans were performed in 11 patients with dislocation fractures of the mandibular condyle after reduction of the fractures and fixation of the condyles by tension bolt osteosynthesis. Since the storage of the radioisotope in the bone tissue is directly dependent on the blood circulation, these examinations allow conclusions as to the blood supply of the mandibular condyle head following reduction. No negative effects on blood supply resulting from the operative intervention could be observed.
