Recent chinese research on analytical chemistry of the rare earths

The People's Republic of China has the world's largest reserves of rare earths. Recently, the rare earths have been found various applications in different fields of science and technology. The extensive research on analytical chemistry of rare earths has been made by Chinese analysts. The third Chinese Conference on the Analytical Chemistry of Rare Earths was held in 1982. A 2 volume treatise entitled “Analytical Chemistry of the Rare Earths” has been written by Cheng Jai-kai, Tseng Yung-ao, Luo Quing-yaoet al. [1]. The following is a short review of Chinese progress in analytical chemistry of the rare earths. Only developments of the past five years (1978–1983) will be described.     

Stimulation of proliferation ofTetrahymena pyriformis by trace rare earths

Using two Chinese strains ofTetrahymena pyriformis, S1 and BJ4, as the biological models, the effects of lighter rare earths (lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium, samarium, and europium), representatives of heavier rare earths (yttrium and thulium), and mixed rare earths were studied. The stimulation of population growth ofTetrahymena in peptone-glucose media containing trace amounts of these elements have been observed. The mechanisms for the beneficial effects of rare earth elements in low concentrations remains to be discovered.

Converting weak binders into infinite binders

Monoclonal antibody 2D12.5 binds DOTA chelates of all the rare earths with K(d) approximately 10(-)(8) M, making it useful for the capture of probe molecules with a variety of properties. To make 2D12.5 even more useful for biological applications, we have engineered a single cysteine residue at position 54 of the heavy chain, a site proximal to the protein's binding site, so that weakly electrophilic metal complexes of (S)-2-(4-acrylamidobenzyl)-DOTA (AABD) may bind and form permanent linkages. At 37 degrees C, pH 7.5, all of the rare earth-AABD complexes bind permanently to the 2D12.5 G54C mutant within 5 min, in yields that correlate with their relative binding affinities. Surprisingly, indium-AABD also binds permanently in >50% yield within 5 min, despite the fact that changing the metal to indium reduces the affinity approximately 100x; even copper-AABD, which has approximately 10 000x lower binding affinity than the rare earths, binds permanently in >70% yield within 2 h. However, acrylamido compounds with no measurable affinity do not bind permanently. The important practical implication is that the G54C mutant of 2D12.5 may be used for applications that include not only the rare earths, but also an unexpected range of other elements as well. This infinite binding system can exhibit selective and permanent attachment with a remarkable range of structurally related ligands, albeit at slower rates as affinities decrease.     

Assessment of significance of features acquired from thyroid ultrasonograms in Hashimoto's disease

Background

Most studies on biodegradable magnesium implants published recently use magnesium-calcium-alloys or magnesium-aluminum-rare earth-alloys. However, since rare earths are a mixture of elements and their toxicity is unclear, a reduced content of rare earths is favorable. The present study assesses the in vivo biocompatibility of two new magnesium alloys which have a reduced content (ZEK100) or contain no rare earths at all (AX30).

Methods

24 rabbits were randomized into 4 groups (AX30 or ZEK100, 3 or 6 months, respectively) and cylindrical pins were inserted in their tibiae. To assess the biodegradation ??CT scans and histological examinations were performed.

Results

The ??CT scans showed that until month three ZEK100 degrades faster than AX30, but this difference is leveled out after 6 months. Histology revealed that both materials induce adverse host reactions and high numbers of osteoclasts in the recipient bone. The mineral apposition rates of both materials groups were high.

Conclusions

Both alloys display favorable degradation characteristics, but they induce adverse host reactions, namely an osteoclast-driven resorption of bone and a subsequent periosteal formation of new bone. Therefore, the biocompatibility of ZEK100 and AX30 is questionable and further studies, which should focus on the interactions on cellular level, are needed.     

Microcalorimetric Study on the Effect of Ce<Superscript>3+</Superscript> on <Emphasis Type="Italic">Halobacterium halobium</Emphasis> R1

A microcalorimeric technique was used to evaluate the influence of rare earths Ce³⁺ on Halobacterium halobium R1 growth. By means of TAM air Thermal Activity Monitor, the thermogenic curves of H. halobium R1 growth were obtained. To analyze the results, the growth rate constant k and IC₅₀ were calculated, indicating that the values of k are linked to the concentration of Ce³⁺. The growth rate constant k of H. halobium R1 decreased gradually in the low concentration; thus, rare earths restrained the growth of H. halobium R1. On the contrary, as the concentration of Ce³⁺ became higher, the value of k for H. halobium R1 increased gradually, which showed Ce³⁺ stimulated the growth of H. halobium R1. When the concentration of rare earths became much higher, the value of k for H. halobium R1 also decreased, and the growth of H. halobium R1 was restrained totally in the end. By using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), it was observed that the transforming of H. halobium R1 in the different concentrations of Ce³⁺ confirmed the results derived from microcalorimetry. According to the thermogenic curves and TEM photos of H. halobium R1 under various conditions, it showed that there was some special effect about the interaction between rare earths and H. halobium R1 growth.
