Fulltext 1,1',2,2'-Tetra-methyl-3,3'-(p-phenyl-ene-dimethyl-ene)diimidazol-1-ium bis-[bis-(trifluoro-methyl-sulfon-yl)imide]

Abdul Rahim MS, Alias Y, Ng SW

Acta Crystallogr Sect E Struct Rep Online, 2010;66(Pt 10):o2668.
PMID: 21587639 DOI: 10.1107/S1600536810038006

The cation of the imidazolium-based ionic-liquid title salt, C(16)H(24)N(4) (2+)·2C(2)F(6)NO(4)S(2) (-), lies on a center of inversion; in the cation, the five-membered imidazolium ring is aligned at 84.4 (1)° with respect to the phenyl-ene ring; the angle at the methyl-ene C atom is 113.0 (2)°. In the anion, the negative charge formally resides on the two-coordinate N atom; the S-N-S angle at this atom is 125.2 (1)°.
Fulltext 1,1'-(p-Phenyl-enedimethyl-ene)dipyridinium bis-(hexa-fluoridophosphate)

Abdul Rahim MS, Alias Y, Ng SW

Acta Crystallogr Sect E Struct Rep Online, 2010;66(Pt 10):o2653.
PMID: 21587624 DOI: 10.1107/S1600536810037992

The title salt, C(18)H(18)N(2) (2+)·2PF(6) (-), exists as non-inter-acting cations and anions. In the cation, the pyridine and phenyl-ene rings are aligned at 62.9 (1)°; the pyridine ring lies on a special position of m site symmetry and the phenyl-ene ring on a special position of 2/m site symmetry. The angle at the methyl-ene C atom is 112.8 (1)°. The anion lies on a special position of m site symmetry; four F atoms lie on this mirror plane.

INTRODUCTION: Kidney disease is a worldwide health concern with an increasing mortality in the past 10 years. The Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guideline advocates the use of estimated glomerular filtration rate equation (eGFR) to estimate renal function. We evaluated the performance of Cockroft Gault (CG), Modified Diet of Renal Disease (MDRD), and Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equations to measured GFR 99mTc- DTPA taking into account body mass index (BMI) and age group.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a cross-sectional study of patients referred for 99mTc-DTPA scan at the Nuclear Medicine Centre of International Islamic University Malaysia. The record was taken from patients visiting the centre from January 2016 to December 2019.
RESULTS: The mean measured GFR by 99mTc-DTPA scan was 42.2 ± 20.38 ml/min. These were lower than that estimated by CG, MDRD, and CKD-EPI equations. CKD-EPI had the highest correlation of 0.72, least bias (mean bias of 11.08 ± 23.08) and was more precise (r2 = 0.4) as compared to MDRD and CG. In patients < 65 years old, CKD-EPI had the highest correlation; however, MDRD had the least bias and highest accuracy. In terms of BMI, CKD-EPI had the least bias and highest accuracy for BMI >30 and with the highest correlation for all classes of BMI.
CONCLUSION: CKD-EPI has the best estimation of GFR taking into account the effect of BMI and age. A further study can be done to determine the correlation of estimated GFR equations with different ethnicity in Malaysia.
