Cadmium is an important industrial and environmental pollutant and has adverse effects on cell growth and metabolism, although the mechanisms of its cellular toxicity are still unclear. This study was performed to elucidate the cytotoxic mechanism of cadmium in the viewpoint of oxidative stress and cytoskeleton alterations in WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells. 200 $\mu\textrm{M}$ $CdCl_2$ caused a severe disassembling of microtubule and micro filament and an apparent cell retraction under an observation with fluorescence micoscope. (equation omitted)-tubulin and F-actin protein were highly thiolated at 20 min and then disappeared from 1 hour after the treatment of 200 $\mu$M CdCl$_2$in the immunoblot analysis. Intracellular GSH was decreased from 1hr to 24 hrs by 66.6 or 200 $\mu\textrm{M}$ of $CdCl_2$. Intracellular protein thiol was also decreased by 22.2, 66.6 and 200 $\mu\textrm{M}$ of $CdCl_2$ at 1 hour after its treatment. The product of lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde) was increased from 4 hrs by 66.6 and 200$\mu\textrm{M}$ of $CdCl_2$. These data indicate that cadmium induces oxidative stress involving disassembling of microtubule and micro filament, thiolation of (equation omitted)-tubulin and actin protein, depletion of GSH and protein thiol, and increase of lipid peroxidation.

Polycrystalline CdS films were prepared by coating a slurry, which consisted of Cds, 11w/o of CdCl$_2$ and various amounts of InCl$_3$on the glass substrate and by sintering in a nitrogen atmosphere. Measurements on the electrical and optical Properties and observation on the microstructure of the sintered films were made. It was observed that the carrier concentration in the films remains almost constant on the addition of InCl$_3$. Optical transmittance remains constant on the addition of InCl$_3$ up to 3w/o but it decreases with further increase in InCl$_3$.

All-polycrystalline Cd$_1$-xZnxS/CdTe solar cells have been fabricated by coating CdTe slurries with 4.5 wt% of CdCl$_2$on the sintered Cd$_1$-xZnxS films and by sintering CdTe layer at 6$25^{\circ}C$ for lh in nitrogen atmosphere. Solar efficiency of the sintered Cd$_1$-xZnxS/CdTe solar cells increases as the Zn content increases up to x=0.06 and then decreases with further increase in the Zn content. A solar efficiency of 12.5% under a solar intensity of 76mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$ was observed in a Cd 0.94 Zn0.06S/CdTe solar cell. By optimizing the amount of CdCl$_2$in the slurry and sintering conditions, it is possible to produce Cd$_1$-xZnxS/CdTe solar cells with efficiency higher than 12%.

It is demonstrated that cadmium has cytotoxic effect on glial cells, oxygen radicals are involved in cadmium-induced cytotoxicity. However, the toxic mechanism of cadmium is left unknown so far. The purpose of this study was to examine the cytotoxicity of $CdCl_2$ on $C_6$ glioma cells. The cytotoxicy was measured by cell viability via XTT assay in $C_6$ glioma cells. Colorimetric assay such as XTT assay is regarded as a very sensitive screening method for the determination of the cell viability on a lots of chemicals. In this study, $CdCl_2$ decreased cell viability according to the dose- and time dependent manners after $C_6$ glioma cells were treated with various concentrations of $CdCl_2$ for 48 hours. $IC_{90}\;and\;IC_{50}$ values for XTT assay was determined at $5{\mu}M\;and\;55{\mu}M$ of $CdCl_2$, respectively. These results suggest that $CdCl_2$ has highly cytotoxic effect on $C_6$glioma cells by the decrease of cell viability.

The reaction between $[CdBr_2{\cdot}4H_2O]$ and anhydrous $[ZnCl_2]$ with N,N'-bidentate N-(pyridin-2-ylmethylene)-cyclopentanamine (impy) in ethanol yields dimeric $[(impy)Cd({\mu}-Br)Br]_2$ and monomeric $[(impy)ZnCl_2]$ complexes, respectively. The X-ray crystal structure of Cd(II) and Zn(II) complexes revealed that the cadmium atom in $[(impy)Cd({\mu}-Br)Br]_2$ and zinc in $[(impy)ZnCl_2]$ formed a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal and tetrahedral geometry, respectively. Both complexes showed moderate catalytic activity for the polymerisation of methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO), with polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) syndiotacticity of about 0.70.

BACKGROUND: This study was performed for selecting yeast mutants with a high tolerance for targeted metals, and determining whether yeasts strains tolerant to multiple heavy metals could be induced by sequential adaptations. METHODS AND RESULTS: A mutant yeast strain tolerant to the heavy metals cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), and zinc (Zn) was selected by sequential elevated exposures to each metal with intermittent mutant isolation steps. A Cd-tolerant mutant was isolated by growing yeast cells in media containing $CdCl_2$ concentrations that were gradually increased to 1 mM. Then the Cd-tolerant mutant was gradually exposed to increasing levels of $CuCl_2$ in growth media until a concentration of 7 mM was reached, thus generating a strain tolerant to both Cd and Cu. In the subsequent steps, this mutant was exposed to $NiCl_2$ (up to 8 mM), and a resultant isolate was further exposed to $ZnCl_2$ (up to 60 mM), allowing the derivation of a yeast mutant that was simultaneously tolerant to Cd, Cu, Ni, and Zn. CONCLUSION: This method of inducing tolerance to multiple targeted heavy metals in yeast will be useful in the bioremediation of heavy metals.

전자빔 증착장비를 이용하여 $Ca_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$S:CuCl TFEL소자를 제작한 후 발광특성을 평가하였다. 형광체 모체 $Ca_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$S는 CaS와 SrS 미분말을 혼합, 성형하여 제작하였으며, 발광중심체 CuCl은 0.2 at%를 첨가시켰다. CaS:CuCl TFEL 소자의 휘도(L$_{30}$)와 최대 발광파장은 각각 9.5 cd/$m^2$와 492 nm였으며 SrS:CuCl TFEL 소자의 휘도(L$_{30}$)와 최대 발광파장은 각각 633 cd/$m^2$와 500 nm였다. SrS에 CaS가 첨가된 $Ca_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$S:CuCl TFEL 소자에서 청색 색순도는 좋아졌으나, 휘도와 효율은 급격히 감소하였다.

$(1-x)BaTiO_3+(x)Cd_5(PO_4)_3Cl$ ceramics were prepared by the conventional ceramic technique, i.e., solid state reaction at high temperature. The concentration of $Cd_5(PO_4)_3C$ was varied from 0.01 to 0.15 mole fraction. In order to study the phase transitions of our ceramics, the Raman scattering spectra were measured as functions of concentration x and temperature. It was found that the soluble limit of $Cd_5(PO_4)_3Cl$ in $BaTiO_3$ was the x=0.05 composition and $BaTiO_3$ phase disappeared above x=0.10. A new phase identified as $Ba_4Ti_3P_2O_{15}$ was detected in all samples of our compositions. The Curie temperature shifts up to $130^{\circ}C$ as the concentration x increases from zero to 0.05 and shift down to $95^{\circ}C$ as further increases to 0.08. For the increase of the Curie temperature, it is suggested that it can result from the inhibition of displacement of $Ti^{4+}$ in the distorted octahedron due to well dispersed $Ba_4Ti_3P_2O_{15}$ and $Cd_5(PO_4)_3Cl$ phase.

카드뮴과 니켈이 혈압에 미치는 영향과 더불어 복합적 노출이 혈압에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자, 250 g 정도의 흰쥐를 대조군과 노출군(두 농도의 카드뮴 노출군, 니켈 노출군, 복합노출군)에 각각 10마리씩 할당하고 염화카드뮴과 염화니켈을 생리식염수에 녹여 일주일간 매일 복강 내에 투여한 후 1, 5, 10, 20, 30일 경과 후 혈압의 변화를 관찰하였다. 각각 5회씩 혈압을 측정하였으며 최고치와 최저치를 제외한 3회 측정치의 평균값을 이용하여 각 시간대에서 각 물질간에 혈압의 차이가 있는지 확인하기 위하여 일요인 분산분석을 실시하였으며 시간을 반복측정요인으로 보고 반복측정된 이요인 분산분석을 실시하였다. 혈압의 변화에 있어서 0.1 mg/kg bw의 염화카드뮴 투여 후 1, 5, 10일 째에서 대조군과 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여 주었으며 같은 농도의 염화니켈은 전기간 동안 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여 주지 못했다. 이 농도에서 동시 노출시 대조군과는 1, 5, 10일째에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이(p<0.05)를 보여 주었으며 염화카드뮴 투여군과는 5일째에서, 염화니켈 투여군과는 5, 10일째에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여 주었다. 1.0 mg/kg bw의 염화카드뮴 투여 후 1, 5, 10, 20일째에서 대조군과 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여 주었으며 같은 농도에서 염화니켈의 경우, 1, 5일째에서 대조군과 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여 주었다. 이 농도에서 동시 노출시에는 대조군과 전 시간대에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보여 주었으며 염화카드뮴 투여군과는 10, 20, 30일째에서, 니켈 투여군과는 5, 10, 20, 30일째에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 결과적으로 카드뮴이 니켈에 비하여 혈압의 상승효과가 크며 복합 노출시 혈압의 상승이 오랫동안 지속되었다.

In this research, two new complexes of N-(2-aminoethyl)-1,3-propanediamine (aepn), $[Cd(aepn)_2]I_2$ (1) and $[Cd(aepn)_2]Cl_2{\cdots}H_2O$ (2), were prepared and identified by elemental analysis, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Geometry around the cadmium atom in two complexes by coordination of six nitrogen atoms of two aepn is distorted octahedral. If distortion in the mer-$[Cd(aepn)_2]^{2+}$ cation is disregarded, it has a $C_2$ axis and $C_2$ symmetry. The cyclic voltammetry experiments were carried out to study the complexation process. Two structural surveys on coordination modes and complexes of aepn are presented. A study was carried out using CSD data to estimate the averages of bond lengths for different types of the Cd-N bonds. It was found that the intermolecular $N-H{\cdots}I$, $C-H{\cdots}I$ hydrogen bonds in 1 and $N-H{\cdots}Cl$, $N-H{\cdots}O$, $C-H{\cdots}O$, $O-H{\cdots}Cl$ in 2 stabilized the crystal networks.
