Erythromycin binding to human serum.

Biochem Pharmacol

Published: March 1982

Erythromycin binding to human serum was measured under conditions of binding equilibrium. The binding is sensitive to pH changes, decreasing at acid pH. Over a great range of serum dilution, the bound fraction is semilogarithmically related to serum concentration. Binding is shown to be completely reversible. With increasing erythromycin concentration a specific part of binding is saturable and specifically displaceable by erythromycin is specifically bound to a single class of noninteracting binding sites with an apparent dissociation constant Kd = 5.9 microM (38 degrees C). The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters at 25 degrees are: Kd = 8.4 microM, delta H degrees = +4.4 X 10(3) cal per mole, delta G degrees = 6.9 X 10(3) cal per mole, delta S degrees = +38 e.u.

Department of Chemistry, University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Buffalo, New York 14260, United States.

ConspectusUnderstanding f element-ligand covalency is at the center of efforts to design new separations schemes for spent nuclear fuel, and is therefore of signficant fundamental and practical importance. Considerable effort has been invested into quantifying covalency in f element-ligand bonding. Over the past decade, numerous studies have employed a variety of techniques to study covalency, including XANES, EPR, and optical spectroscopies, as well as X-ray crystallography.

Self-medication pattern among medical students in Middle Delta, Egypt.

BMC Med Educ

January 2025

Public Health and Community Medicine Department, Faculty of Medicine, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.

Background: Self- medication leading to wastage of limited resources in developing countries, prolonged suffering, increase resistance to drugs and may result in significant medical complications such as adverse drug responses and dependence. Self-medication is extensively used by health professionals. Undergraduate medical students as being the future physicians representing a main pillar in health care system thus have special significance.

Objective This in vitro study evaluated the impact of different time intervals on the color stability of glass ionomer cement (GIC) and composite materials bonded to teeth treated with silver diamine fluoride (SDF). Specifically, the study sought to determine if immediate or delayed application of these restorative materials affects the degree of staining caused by SDF. Materials and methods Twenty-eight extracted primary molars with cavitated lesions were randomly divided into four groups, each comprising seven samples.
