Abstract:

N-n-Octylaniline in xylene was used for the extraction separation of antimony( III) from hydrochloric acid media. Antimony(III) was extracted quantitatively with 10 mL4%N-n-octylaniline in xylene. It was stripped from the organic phase with 0.5 M ammonia and estimated photometrically by the iodide method. The effect of metal ion, acid, reagent concentration and various foreign ions was investigated. The method affords binary and ternary separation of antimony(III) from tellurium(IV), selenium( IV), lead(II) bismuth(III), tin(IV), germanium(IV), copper(II), gold(III), iron(III) and zinc(II). The method is applicable for the analysis of synthetic mixtures alloys and semiconductor thin films. It is fast, accurate and precise.

The crystal structures of three bridged bimetallic molecular compounds, namely, triaqua-2κ3 O-μ-fluorido-pentafluorido-1κ5 F-(1,10-phenanthroline-2κ2 N,N′)copper(II)titanium(IV) monohydrate, [Cu(TiF6)(phen)(H2O)3]·H2O (phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, C12H8N2), (I), triaqua-2κ3 O-μ-fluorido-pentafluorido-1κ5 F-(1,10-phenanthroline-2κ2 N,N′)copper(II)zirconium(IV) monohydrate, [Cu(ZrF6)(phen)(H2O)3]·H2O, (II), and triaqua-2κ3 O-μ-fluorido-pentafluorido-1κ5 F-(1,10-phenanthroline-2κ2 N,N′)copper(II)hafnium(IV) monohydrate, [Cu(HfF6)(phen)(H2O)3]·H2O, (III), and one molecular salt, bis[diaquafluorido(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′)copper(II)] hexafluoridohafnate(IV) dihydrate, [CuF(phen)(H2O)2]2[HfF6]·2H2O, (IV), are reported. The bridged bimetallic compounds adopt Λ-shaped configurations, with the octahedrally coordinated copper(II) center linked to the fluorinated early transition metal via a fluoride linkage. The extended structures of these Λ-shaped compounds are organized through both intra- and intermolecular hydrogen bonds and intermolecular π–π stacking. The salt compound [Cu(phen)(H2O)2F]2[HfF6]·H2O displays an isolated square-pyramidal Cu(phen)(H2O)2F+ complex linked to other cationic complexes and isolated HfF6 2− anions through intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions.

Abstract:

We designate as "bridge-flipped isomers" those pairs of molecules that differ only in the orientation of a bridge of atoms linking two major molecular fragments: in benzylideneanilines, Ar-CH=N-Ar' vs. Ar-N=CH-Ar'; in phenylhydrazones, Ar-NH-N=CH-Ar' vs. Ar-CH=N-NH-Ar' (Ar = aryl). We use them as a context in which to evaluate the roles of molecular conformation, hydrogen bonding, space-filling requirements, and supramolecular synthons in establishing crystalline isomorphism or non-isomorphism. To examine nitrile-halogen and halogen-halogen interactions in solid isomeric benzylideneanilines, we have determined the structures of 2-cyanobenzylidene-2'-iodoaniline (I), 2-iodobenzylidene-2'-cyanoaniline (II), 2-cyanobenzylidene-2'-bromoaniline (III), 2-cyanobenzylidene-2'-chloroaniline (IV), and 2-chlorobenzylidene-2'-cyanoaniline (V) by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. I/II and IV/V are bridge-flipped isomeric pairs. I, III, and IV are isomorphous; the I/II and IV/V pairs are not. In I, III, and IV, translationally related molecules are linked into chains by C≡N···X contacts; no close X···X contacts occur. Although C≡N···X contacts between translationally related molecules define chains in II similar to those in I, III, and IV, and although II likewise lacks close X···X contacts, the molecular packing arrangements differ (monoclinic for I, III, and IV vs. triclinic for II). V in contrast assumes an orthorhombic structure from which the C≡N···X interaction is absent and which is isomorphous with 2-chlorobenzylidene-2'-chloroaniline (VI), the nitrile group of V exchanged for the aniline-side chlorine of VI, that chlorine atom in VI not involved in a close intermolecular Cl···Cl contact. Although neither C≡N···X nor X···X contacts result in isomorphous bridge-flipped isomers in the cases of I/II and IV/V, the C≡N···X contacts apparently play a major structure-defining role and supersede any potential X···X contacts in I-IV.

Abstract:

Four manganese(II) bromide coordination complexes have been prepared with four pyridine N-oxides, viz. pyridine N-oxide (PNO), 2-methylpyridine N-oxide (2MePNO), 3-methylpyridine N-oxide (3MePNO), and 4-methylpyridine N-oxide (4MePNO). The compounds are bis(μ-pyridine N-oxide)bis[aquadibromido(pyridine N-oxide)manganese(II)], [Mn2Br4(C5H5NO)4(H2O)2] (I), bis(μ-2-methylpyridine N-oxide)bis[diaquadibromidomanganese(II)]–2-methylpyridine N-oxide (1/2), [Mn2Br4(C6H7NO)2(H2O)4]·2C6H7NO (II), bis(μ-3-methylpyridine N-oxide)bis[aquadibromido(3-methylpyridine N-oxide)manganese(II)], [Mn2Br4(C6H7NO)4(H2O)2] (III), and bis(μ-4-methylpyridine N-oxide)bis[dibromidomethanol(4-methylpyridine N-oxide)manganese(II)], [Mn2Br4(C6H7NO)4(CH3OH)2] (IV). All the compounds have one unique MnII atom and form a dimeric complex that contains two MnII atoms related by a crystallographic inversion center. Pseudo-octahedral six-coordinate manganese(II) centers are found in all four compounds. All four compounds form dimers of Mn atoms bridged by the oxygen atom of the PNO ligand. Compounds I, II and III exhibit a bound water of solvation, whereas compound IV contains a bound methanol molecule of solvation. Compounds I, III and IV exhibit the same arrangement of molecules around each manganese atom, ligated by two bromide ions, oxygen atoms of two PNO ligands and one solvent molecule, whereas in compound II each manganese atom is ligated by two bromide ions, one O atom of a PNO ligand and two water molecules with a second PNO molecule interacting with the complex via hydrogen bonding through the bound water molecules. All of the compounds form extended hydrogen-bonding networks, and compounds I, II, and IV exhibit offset π-stacking between PNO ligands of neighboring dimers.

Abstract:

A number of mixed-ligand complexes of the general formula [M(D)(G)] where D=dimethylglyoximato monoanion, G=N-acetylglycinato and M=VO(IV), Ni(II), Zn(II), Pd(II), Cd(II) and Pb(II) were prepared. Each complex was characterized by elemental analysis, determination of metal, infrared spectra, electronic spectra, (1H and13C) NMR spectra, conductivity and magnetic moments. All these complexes were not soluble in some of the organic solvent but highly soluble in dimethylformamide. The conductivity data showed the non-electrolytic nature of the complexes. The electronic spectra exhibited absorption bands in the visible region caused by the d-d electronic transition such as VO(IV), Ni(II) and Pd(II). The IR and (1H,13C) NMR spectra which have indicate that the dimethylglyoxime was coordinated with the metal ions through the N and O atoms of the oxime group andN-acetylglycine was coordinated with metal ions through the N atom and terminal carboxyl oxygen atom.

Physiol. 83(3): 927–935, 1997.—A four-compartment (4C) model of body composition was used as a criterion to determine the accuracy of three-compartment (3C) and two-compartment (2C) models to estimate percent body fat (%BF) in prepubertal and pubertal boys (genital I & II, n = 17; genital III & IV, n = 7) and girls (breast I & II, n = 8; breast III & IV, n = 15). The 3C water-density (3C-H2O) and 3C mineral-density models, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, the Lohman age-adjusted equations, the Slaughter et al. skinfold equations, and the Houtkooper et al. and Boileau bioelectrical impedance equations were evaluated. Agreement with the 4C model increased with the number of compartments (i.e., body water, bone mineral) measured. Except for the 3C-H2O model, the limits of agreement were large and did not perform well for individuals. The mean %BF by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (23.6%) was greater than that of the criterion 4C method (21.7%). For the field methods, the Slaughter et al. skinfold equations performed better than did the Houtkooper et al. and Boileau bioimpedance equations. The hydration of the fat-free mass decreased (genital I & II = 75.7%, genital III & IV = 74.8%, breast I & II = 75.5%, breast III & IV = 74.4%) and the mineral content increased (genital I & II = 4.9%, genital III & IV = 5.0%, breast I & II = 5.1%, breast III & IV = 5.7%) with maturation. The density of the fat-free mass also increased (genital I & II = 1.084 g/ml, genital III & IV = 1.087 g/ml, breast I & II = 1.086 g/ml, breast III & IV = 1.091 g/ml) with maturation. All of the models reduced the %BF overprediction of the Siri 2C model, but only the 4C and 3C-H2O models should be used as criterion methods for body composition validation in children and adolescents.

Abstract:

We have studied the elongation of oligosaccharides containing N-acetyl-lactosamine repeats using glycosylated human lysozyme mutants as a model. We reported previously that a combination of glycosylation sites at the 49th (site IV) and 68th (site II) amino acid residues of the protein particularly stimulates the synthesis of N-acetyl-lactosamine repeats [Melcher, Grosch, Grosse and Hasilik (1998) Glycoconjugate J. 15, 987-993]. In the present study we show that it is the carbohydrate attached to site IV that is selectively affected. It contains more N-acetyl-lactosamine repeats when site II is glycosylated in the same molecule. As a corollary of the glycosylation at site II, the synthesis of a third antenna at site IV is increased. The triantennary oligosaccharides at site IV contain more N-acetyl-lactosamine repeats than the biantennary ones. Thus placing a carbohydrate at site II stimulates the branching and the elongation of the carbohydrate at the other site.

Abstract:

In the current study, ligands S2 donor atoms, sodium N-methyl-N-phenyldithiocarbamate [L1], and sodium N-ethyl-N-phenyldithiocarbamate [L2] are prepared from carbon disulfide with N-methyl aniline and N-ethyl aniline, respectively. Sn(II) and Sn(IV) ions complexes containing N-alkyl-N-Phenyl dithiocarbamateare prepared and characterized by CHNS elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), 1HNMR-spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. The analytical and spectral data show that the stoichiometry for all complexes is 1 : 2 metal to ligand. The spectral data confirm good coordination of dithiocarbamate ligand with the metal through sulfur atoms of dithiocarbamate moiety. Molar conductivity of complexes are measured using DMF as a solvent and indicated that the complexes of Sn(II) are non-ionic whereas Sn(IV) complexes are ionic. The ligands L1 and L2 and their complexes are examined against Staphylococcus aureus bacteria and Escherichia coli bacteria.

Abstract:

Objectives: There are limited epidemiological data regarding atrial fibrillation (AF) in hypertensive (HT) Romanian adults. We sought to evaluate AF prevalence trends in the SEPHAR surveys (Study for Evaluation of Prevalence of Hypertension and Cardiovascular Risk in an Adult Population in Romania) during a nine-year interval (2012–2016–2021). Methods: Three consecutive editions of a national epidemiological survey regarding HT included representative samples of subjects stratified by age, gender and area of residence (SEPHAR II-IV—in total, 5422 subjects, mean age 48.69 ± 16.65 years, 57.5% (n = 3116) females). A post-hoc analysis of AF prevalence and oral anticoagulation (OAC) rates was performed. AF definition was based on a documented medical history of AF and/or AF documentation by study electrocardiogram. Results: General AF prevalence was 5.5% (n = 297). AF prevalence in HT subjects was 8.9% (n = 209) and has risen since SEPHAR II—7.2% (n = 57) and SEPHAR III—8.1% (n = 72) to SEPHAR IV—11.8% (n = 80), respectively (p = 0.001). AF prevalence has increased in HT males (SEPHAR II—5.3% (n = 19), SEPHAR III—7.6% (n = 26) and SEPHAR IV—11.7% (n = 35) (p = 0.010)) and in HT from urban areas (SEPHAR II—7.8% (n = 37), SEPHAR III—7.8% (n = 40), SEPHAR IV—14.7% (n = 50), p < 0.001). In SEPHAR III-IV, only 19.3% (n = 23) of HT AF patients with OAC indication were anticoagulated. Conclusions: AF prevalence has increased by ~64% in hypertensive Romanian adults between 2012 and 2021. However, anticoagulation strategies may be suboptimal in patients with cardioembolic risk.

Abstract:

Abstract Dielectric, DSC, thermal expansion and preliminary X-ray diffraction studies on (n-C3H7NH3)- SbBr5 are reported. It was found that this crystal undergoes a complex sequence of phase transitions. On cooling: phase I → phase II at 188.7 K (continuous), II → III at 165 K (1st order, ΔS = 26.8 J/mol K), III → IV at 137 K (1st order, 1.6 J/mol K). On heating: IV → III at 154 K, III → II’ at 168 K, II’ → II at 177 K (1st order, 2.8 J/mol K), II → I at 189 K. All 1st order phase transitions are likely due to the motion of the n-C3H7NH3+cations. The dielectric dispersion studies between 100 Hz-1 MHz within the phases I and II indicate a fast reorientational motion of dipoles with τ < 10−7 S.

No association was demonstrated between the MNV and the survival or between the MNV and two of five additional parameters: age and amount of residual tumor. However, both in stage IB–II and stage III–IV carcinomas, the MNV increased significantly with increasing tumor grade and DNA-index. Furthermore, FIGO-stage IB–II patients had significantly smaller nuclei than patients with stage III–IV disease.

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the role of neutrophils in canine leishmaniosis by assessing neutrophil activation and its relationship with different states of L. infantum infection and antibody and IFN-γ production. Dogs were categorized into five groups: healthy-seronegative (n = 25), healthy-seropositive (n = 21), LeishVet-stage I (n = 25), Leishvet-stage II (n = 41), and LeishVet-stage III–IV (n = 16). Results of the nitroblue tetrazolium reduction test (NBT) showed significantly higher neutrophil activation in stage I (median:17.17, range: [7.33–31.50]%) compared to in healthy-seronegative (4.10 [1.20–18.00]%), healthy-seropositive (7.65 [3.98–21.74]%), stage II (6.50 [1.50–28.70]%), and stage III–IV (7.50 [3.00–16.75]%) groups (p < 0.0001). Healthy-seropositive dogs also displayed higher values than all groups except stage I. Stages II and III–IV did not show significant differences compared to healthy-seronegative. Regarding IFN-γ, stage I dogs had higher concentrations (median:127.90, range: [0–3998.00] pg/mL) than healthy-seronegative (0 [0–109.50] pg/mL) (p = 0.0002), stage II (9.00 [0–5086.00] pg/mL) (p = 0.045), and stage III–IV (3.50 [80.00–548.80] pg/mL) (p = 0.02) dogs. Stage II dogs showed increased IFN-γ compared to healthy-seronegative dogs (p = 0.015), while stage III–IV dogs had no significant differences compared to healthy-seronegative dogs (p = 0.12). Healthy-seropositive dogs had elevated IFN-γ concentrations compared to healthy-seronegative dogs (p = 0.001) and dogs in stage III–IV (p = 0.03). In conclusion, neutrophil activation was higher in dogs with mild disease and healthy-seropositive dogs, and a relationship between neutrophil activation and the production of IFN-γ was found.

Abstract:

The syntheses of tetradentate ligand, meso-1,2-diphenyl-ethylenediamine-N,N'-di-3-propanoic acid (H2-1,2-dpheddp) and corresponding platinum(IV) and palladium(II) complexes are reported here. The spectroscopically predicted structure of the obtained palladium(II) complex was confirmed by X-ray analysis. Singe crystals suitable for X-ray measurements were obtained by slow crystallization from a DMSO-water mixture. Cytotoxic effects of platinum(IV), palladium(II) complexes and cisplatin on the 4T1 and B16F1 cell lines were determined using the MTT colorimetric technique. The complexes showed a dose dependence on cytotoxic effect toward both cell lines. Both complexes were less active than cisplatin, the exception was concentrations above 62.5 μM of platinum(IV) complex in the B16F1 cell line.

Abstract:

Abstract The extraction behaviour of U(VI), Th(IV) and Nd(III) was investigated as a function of nitric acid concentration for diamide based extractants, namely, N,N,N′,N′-tetraoctyl-3-carbonylpentanediamide (TOCPDA) and 4-carbonyl-heptanedioic acid bis-dioctylamide (CHADA). In addition, the distribution ratio was also measured for Pu(IV) and Sr(II) with 1.1 M CHADA in n-dodecane. These extractants were synthesized by adopting simple acid, amine coupling reaction with DCC (dicyclohexylcarbodiimide) and DMAP (N,N′-dimethylaminopyridine) as the coupling agent. The newly synthesized extractants were characterized by FT-IR, NMR, Mass, CHNS and HPLC. The extraction results indicated that CHADA shown has better extraction behavior for U(VI) compared to TOCPDA. In addition, CHADA coated HPLC column was examined for the retention behaviour of U(VI), Th(IV), and Nd(III). Computation studies based on density functional theory (DFT) were carried out to understand the complexing behaviour of U(VI), Pu(IV) and Sr(II) with CHADMA and TMCPDA.

Abstract:

Objective. It was to investigate the mechanism of atrial fibrillation after mitral valve replacement under extracorporeal circulation in patients with rheumatic heart disease under sevoflurane anesthesia maintenance and to provide scientific and effective basis for clinical treatment. Methods. Forty patients with rheumatic heart disease who underwent mitral valve replacement were randomly rolled into group I (sinus rhythm of propofol anesthesia, n = 10 ), group II (atrial fibrillation rhythm of propofol anesthesia, n = 10 ), group III (sinus rhythm of sevoflurane anesthesia, n = 10 ), and group IV (atrial fibrillation rhythm of sevoflurane anesthesia, n = 10 ). Inflammatory factors, free tissue of right atrium, and incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation were compared among all groups. Results. (i) The serum levels of NT-proBNP, CRP, sST-2, IL-6, TNF-α, and TGF-β1 in group II were higher than those in group I, group III, and group IV, and the indexes in group III were higher than those in group IV ( P < 0.05 ). (ii) The relative expression levels of PLB, CaMK II, Bax, and TP53 in the free tissue of right atrium in group II were higher than those in group I, III, and IV, and the index levels in group IV were higher than those in group III ( P < 0.05 ). (iii) The incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in group III (0.00%) was significantly lower than that in group I (30%), group II (50%), and group IV (40.0%), and group II (50%) was the highest ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion. The maintenance of sevoflurane anesthesia can improve the inflammatory response and myocardial tissue autophagy in patients with sinus rhythm and atrial fibrillation rhythm and can reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients.

Abstract:

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of intracerebroventricular (icv) and intravenous (iv) infusion of angiotensin (ANG)-(1-7), ANG III, and ANG II on the baroreceptor control of heart rate (BHR) in conscious rats. Reflex changes in HR were elicited by bolus iv injection of either phenylephrine or sodium nitroprusside before and within 1 and 3 h of icv infusion of ANG II (n = 10), ANG III (n = 9), ANG-(1-7) (n = 9), or saline (n = 9) at a rate of 3 nmol.7.5 microliter-1.h-1. In another group of animals (n = 23), iv infusion of the same amount of ANG peptides was carried out at a rate of 0.7 ml/h. The average ratio of changes in HR in beats per minute and changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP, mmHg) was used as an index of BHR sensitivity. ANG II and ANG III produced a significant increase in the basal levels of MAP, but only during the first hour of infusion (iv or icv). No significant changes in baseline HR were observed. ANG-(1-7) and saline infusion did not change basal levels of HR or MAP (iv or icv). ANG II (iv and icv) and ANG III (icv) caused a significant decrease in the BHR sensitivity for reflex bradycardia. In contrast, icv infusion of ANG-(1-7) induced a significant increase in BHR sensitivity for reflex bradycardia (-3.0 +/- 0.3, 1 h, and -2.8 +/- 0.1 beats.min-1.mmHg-1, 3 h vs. -2.1 +/- 0.2 beats.min-1.mmHg-1, before infusion).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

In structures (II)–(IV), theLligand is also positioned on a crystallographic inversion centre, whereas the Hg centre resides on a crystallographic twofold axis. Compound (I) adopts ananticonformation in the solid state and forms a two-dimensional network in the crystallographicbcplaneviaπ–π and C—H...π interactions. The three HgIIcoordination complexes, (II)–(IV), have one-dimensional zigzag chains composed ofLand HgX2(X= Cl, Br and I), and the HgIIcentres are in a distorted tetrahedral [HgX2N2] coordination geometry. Complexes (III) and (IV) are isomorphous, whereas complex (II) displays an interesting conformational difference from the others,i.e.a twist in the flexible bridging ligand.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT We study the ultraviolet (UV) emission-line ratios of a sample of 145 type II quasars (QSO2s) from Sloan Digital Sky Survey iii Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, and compare against a grid of active galactic nucleus (AGN) photoionization models with a range in gas density, gas chemical abundances, and ionization parameter. Most of the quasars are ‘carbon-loud’, with C iv/He ii ratios that are unusually high for the narrow-line region, implying higher than expected gas density (&gt;106 cm−3) and/or significantly supersolar-relative carbon abundance. We also find that solar or supersolar nitrogen abundance and metallicity are required in the majority of our sample, with potentially significant variation between objects. Compared to radio galaxies at similar redshifts (HzRGs; z &gt; 2), the QSO2s are offset to higher N v/He ii, C iv/He ii, and C iii]/He ii, suggesting systematically higher gas density and/or systematically higher C and N abundances. We find no evidence for a systematic difference in the N/C abundance ratio between the two types of objects. Scatter in the N iv]/C iv ratio implies a significant scatter in the N/C abundance ratio among the QSO2s and HzRGs, consistent with differences in the chemical enrichment histories between objects. Interestingly, we find that adopting secondary behaviour for both N and C alleviates the long-standing ‘N iv] problem’. A subset of the QSO2s and HzRGs also appear to be ‘silicon-loud’, with Si iii] relative fluxes suggesting Si/C and Si/O are an order of magnitude above their solar values. Finally, we propose new UV-line criteria to select genuine QSO2s with low-density narrow-line regions.

Abstract:

N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)alanine methylamide (I) undergoes base-catalyzed cyclization in methanol to give the spiro adduct II. In aniline-anilinium chloride buffers, the spiro adduct is protonated at the oxygen atom of 2-nitro group to give the neutral compound III. In 4-bromoaniline buffers or by action of methanolic hydrogen chloride, the compound III is opened to E and Z isomers of 2-amino-N-methyl-N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)propanamide hydrochloride (IV). The rate-limiting step of cyclization of compound Z-IV to compound III consists in the isomerization Z-IV → E-IV. At higher pH values (acetate buffers), the rate-limiting step is gradually changed to the isomerization of 2-amino-N-methyl-N-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)propanamide (Z-V → E-V).

Abstract:

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of Astragaloside IV (AS-IV) in alleviating renal fibrosis by inhibiting Urotensin II-induced pyroptosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into control group without operation: gavage with 5ml/kg/d water for injection and UUO model group: gavage with 5ml/kg/d water for injection; UUO+ AS-IV group (gavage with AS-IV 20mg/kg/d; and UUO+ losartan potassium group (gavage with losartan potassium 10.3mg/kg/d, with 10 rats in each group. After 2 weeks, Kidney pathology, serum Urotensin II, and cAMP concentration were detected, and the expressions of NLRP3, GSDMD-N, Caspase-1, and IL-1β were detected by immunohistochemistry. Rat renal tubular epithelial cells were cultured in vitro, and different concentrations of Urotensin II were used to intervene for 24h and 48h. Cell proliferation activity was detected using the CCK8 assay. Suitable concentrations of Urotensin II and intervention time were selected, and Urotensin II receptor antagonist (SB-611812), inhibitor of PKA(H-89), and AS-IV (15ug/ml) were simultaneously administered. After 24 hours, cells and cell supernatants from each group were collected. The cAMP concentration was detected using the ELISA kit, and the expression of PKA, α-SMA, FN, IL-1β, NLRP3, GSDMD-N, and Caspase-1 was detected using cell immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and RT-PCR. Results Renal tissue of UUO rats showed renal interstitial infiltration, tubule dilation and atrophy, renal interstitial collagen fiber hyperplasia, and serum Urotensin II and cAMP concentrations were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group (p <0.05). AS-IV and losartan potassium intervention could alleviate renal pathological changes, and decrease serum Urotensin II, cAMP concentration levels, and the expressions of NLRP3, GSDMD-N, Caspase-1, and IL-1β in renal tissues (p <0.05). Urotensin II at a concentration of 10−8 mol/L could lead to the decrease of cell proliferation, (p<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the cAMP level and the PKA expression were significantly increased (p<0.05). After intervention with AS-IV and Urotensin II receptor antagonist, the cAMP level and the expression of PKA were remarkably decreased (p<0.05). Compared with the normal group, the expression of IL-1β, NLRP3, GSDMD-N, and Caspase-1 in the Urotensin II group was increased (p<0.05), which decreased in the AS-IV and H-89 groups. Conclusion AS-IV can alleviate renal fibrosis by inhibiting Urotensin II-induced pyroptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells by regulating the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway.

Abstract:

Crystallization from methanol solution of mixtures of triphenylsilanol and 4,4′-bipyridyl has given a 1:1 adduct (I), Ph3SiOH·C10H8N2, and three polymorphic 4:1 adducts (II)–(IV), (Ph3SiOH)4·C10H8N2. In (I), the components are linked by a single O—H...N hydrogen bond and by a number of C—H...π(arene) hydrogen bonds to form a continuous three-dimensional structure. Compounds (II)–(IV) are all triclinic, space group P\bar 1, with Z′ values of 0.5, 1 and 4, respectively. The basic hydrogen-bonded aggregate is the same in each of (II)–(IV), having a pair of silanol molecules linked to the bipyridyl via O—N...N hydrogen bonds and a further pair of silanol molecules linked to the first pair via O—H...O hydrogen bonds. In (II) there is just one such aggregate lying across a centre of inversion (Z′ = 0.5) and in (III) there are two such aggregates, both lying across centres of inversion (Z′ = 2 × 0.5 = 1). In (IV) there are six independent aggregates of this type, four of which lie across centres of inversion and two of which lie in general positions, so that Z′ = (4 × 0.5) + 2 = 4. While the components in (I) are fully ordered, each of (II)–(IV) exhibits extensive disorder involving both the bipyridyl units and the phenyl rings of the silanol components.

Full text

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Staphylococcus aureus staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec type IV (SSCmec IV) is associated with virulent community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and frequent horizontal transfer among staphylococci. To gain insight into the mechanism of transfer, we studied the ccrA/B type 2 recombinase-mediated excision of SCCmec IV (n = 5 strains) and SCCmec II (n = 2). In SCCmec IV- but not SCCmec II-containing strains, spontaneous excision of the cassette was observed. Introduction of ccrA/B type 2 recombinase genes under control of an S. aureus bacterial phage promoter in the different strains yielded excision of SCCmec II and multiple excision variants of SCCmec IV. Sequencing of the alternatively excised products in SCCmec IV strains identified a 100-bp shortened SCCmec′ variant and a 5,877-bp, conserved SCC-like element that lacks mecA and ccrA/B recombinases. Excision of the SCC-like element in wild-type S. aureus was dependent on the presence of SCCmec. The element could be excised separately or as part of a novel composite cassette together with SCCmec. The relative abundance of and variety in SCCmec IV excisions may contribute to the frequency of horizontal transfer and genetic plasticity in SCCmec IV MRSA strains.

An increase as a function of clinical severity was observed in each AR (A1R:C=0.02±0.009, NYHAI-II=0.21±0.09, NYHAIII-IV=3.6±1.3,P=0.03 Cversus NYHA III-IV,P=0.02NYHA I-II versus NYHA III-IV; A2aR:C=0.2±0.05, NYHAI-II=0.19±0.04, NYHAIII-IV=1.32±0.33,P=0.005 Cversus NYHA III-IV,P=0.003NYHA I-II versus NYHA III-IV; A2bR:C=1.78±0.36, NYHAI-II=1.35±0.29, NYHAIII-IV=4.07±1.21,P=0.03: NYHA I-II versus NYHA III-IV; A3R:C=0.76±0.21, NYHAI-II=0.94±0.19, NYHAIII-IV=3.14±0.77,P=0.01 Cversus NYHA III-IV and NYHA I-II versus NYHA III-IV, resp.). The mRNA expression of the ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (CD39) and the ecto-5′-nucleotidase (CD73) were also evaluated. They resulted up-regulated. These findings show that components of adenosine metabolism and signalling are altered to promote adenosine production and signalling in HF patients. Thus, HF may benefit from adenosine-based drug therapy after confirmation by clinical trials.

The anhydrous salts morpholinium (tetrahydro-2-H-1,4-oxazin-4-ium) phenoxyacetate, C4H10NO+·C8H7O3−, (I), morpholinium (4-fluorophenoxy)acetate, C4H10NO+·C8H6 FO3−, (II), and isomeric morpholinium (3,5-dichlorophenoxy)acetate (3,5-D), (III), and morpholinium (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetic acid (2,4-D), C4H10NO+·C8H5Cl2O3−, (IV), have been determined and their hydrogen-bonded structures are described. In the crystals of (I), (III) and (IV), one of the the aminium H atoms is involved in a three-centre asymmetric cation–anion N—H...O,O′R12(4) hydrogen-bonding interaction with the two carboxyl O-atom acceptors of the anion. With the structure of (II), the primary N—H...O interaction is linear. In the structures of (I), (II) and (III), the second N—H...Ocarboxylhydrogen bond generates one-dimensional chain structures extending in all cases along [100]. With (IV), the ion pairs are linked though inversion-related N—H...O hydrogen bonds [graph setR42(8)], giving a cyclic heterotetrameric structure.

Abstract:

15645 Background: Penile cancer is a rare malignancy in the Western world with limited published data. We conducted a review of patient (pt.) records diagnosed with penile cancer at our instituition to evaluate the patterns of treatment, responses, recurrences and long term outcomes. Methods: IRB approval was obtained for this retrospective analysis. Tumor registry data was analysed for all adult patients diagnosed with penile cancers between 1995 and 2005. Patient characteristics including age, disease stage, histology, grade, ethnicity, treatment modalities and outcomes were recorded. Results: 24 pts were identified. Median age: 68 years (range: 38 - 86), Stage distribution: Stage 0 (n=7, 29%), Stage I: n =8 (33.%) ; Stage II: n= 4 (17%); Stage III: n = 1 (4%), Stage IV: n=4 (16.7%); ethnicity: Caucasian:17, African-American: n=3; Hispanic: n=1;and South Asian: n=6; Histology: squamous (sq.): n = 21(88%), sq. with sarcomatoid features: n=1(4%), small cell ca: n = 1, (4%); poorly diff. ca: n = 1 (4%). Grades 1,2,3 in each stage respectively : stage I: ( n= 4, 2, 1), stage II: (n = 0,1,2), stage III: (1,0,0), stage IV: (n = 1,2,1). Treatment and Outcome: All pts with stage 0 disease were treated with excision biopsy. 3 of 7 (40%) recurred but are disease free after re-excision. All pts with Stage I disease were treated with partial penectomy. Two of 8 (25%) recurred, of which one pt died of his disease. All pts with stage II were treated with surgery (penectomy) and CT. One pt was additionally treated with RT to the groin. Except for this pt all stage II pts recurred and died due to recurrent disease. The pt with stage III disease was treated with a partial penectomy and CT and remains disease free without recurrence. All pts with stage IV disease were treated with CT, 3 were also treated with RT , but all died of metastatic disease. Median OS: Stage 0: 70+ mo, (20–150 ); Stage I: 69 mo (11–133); Stage II: 25 mo(12–84); Stage III: 25 mo; Stage IV: 7 mo ( 7- 23); Conclusions: Pts with early stage 0 and I disease have a high local recurrence rate (33%) but are curable with surgical salvage. Stages II, III and IV pts have high recurrence rates and poor prognoses despite treatment with penectomy and CT. Future trials should address the benefit of adjuvant chemo/RT in patients with intermediate stage (II & III) disease. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

Abstract The aim of conducted studies was estimation of increase manganese nutrition on content of nutrient and yielding of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) in hydroponic cultivation. Plants were grown in rockwool using closed system fertigation with recirculation of nutrient solution. In experiment were used nutrient solution with following nutrient contents [mg·dm-3]: N-NH4 < 10, N-NO3 150, P-PO4 50, K 150, Ca 150, Mg 50, Fe 3.00, Zn 0.44, Cu 0.03, B 0.011, pH 5.50, EC 1.8 mS·cm-1. It was studied the following manganese concentrations in nutrient solution (in [mg・dm-3]): 0.5, 4.8, 9.6, 19.2 (described as Mn-I, Mn-II, Mn-III and Mn-IV). It was found a significant influence of increasing manganese concentration applied in fertigation on the content of: N, K (for Mn-IV); P, Fe, Cu (for Mn-III and Mn-IV); Mg, Zn (for Mn-II to Mn-IV) in aboveground parts of lettuce. It was no differences in case of calcium and sodium content. Increasing concentration of manganese used to fertigation significantly influenced the content of Mn in plants. Manganese also affected on the SPAD measurement (decreasing at Mn-IV) and yielding of the plants (decreasing for Mn-II to Mn-IV comparing with Mn-I).

Abstract:

To assess and compare different hormonal protocols' treatment efficacy in anoestrus buffalo heifers in a semi-arid region. Forty buffalo heifers with a history of anoestrus were chosen randomly from the semi-arid region of Banaskanth and divided into four equal groups.Group-I: Heatsynch protocol (n = 10), Group-II Ovsynch protocol (n = 10), Group-III Doublesynch protocol (n = 10) and Group-IV Control (n = 10) are followed by artificial insemination at a predetermined period in treated buffalo heifers and insemination during spontaneous estrus in group-IV buffalo heifers. In Groups I, II, and III, the corresponding percentages of estrus induction were 90, 80, and 80 percent. Major symptoms such as edoema, erythema, dampness of vulva and estrus mucus secretion were present during the expression of estrus. Fifty percent of the buffalo heifers in Group IV displayed estrus at varying intervals. After three consecution services, Group II had the highest overall fertility rate (50%) followed by Group III (40%), Group I (30%), and Group IV (30%). In true anoestrus buffalo heifers, the Heatsynch, Ovsynch, and Doublesynch procedure can be applied with success to induce estrus. Buffalo heifers that follow the Ovsynch protocol may have a higher conception rate.

Abstract:

69 Background: Plasma immune biomarkers such as soluble plasma PD-L1 (sPD-L1) may serve as surrogates of the immune condition of cancer patients and be potential markers of response to different immunotherapy modalities. Very few data exist regarding sPD-L1 in patients with primary brain tumors. Our aim was to study the levels of sPD-L1 in patients with gliomas according to histologic grade and IDH mutation status. Methods: Patients (pts) with grade II to IV gliomas were prospectively enrolled. Single-time-point plasma samples were obtained prior to adjuvant radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy. sPD-L1 determined using ELISA with a rabbit polyclonal anti-PDL1/CD274 antibody as capture reagent. Results: Between February 2017 and August 2019, 44 patients (pts) with gliomas and 12 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled. N=11 grade II, n=9 grade III, n=24 grade IV; n=26 IDHwt, n=18 IDHmut. Higher sPD-L1 levels in glioma pts compared to HC (60.8 vs 47.8 ng/ml, p=0.05). Higher sPD-L1 levels in grade II vs grades III-IV (73.3 vs 60 ng/ml, p=0.09). Higher sPD-L1 in IDHmut grades II-III vs IDHwt grades II-III + IDHmut/wt grade IV (73 vs 59 ng/ml, p=0.07). Non-significantly higher sPD-L1 in grades II-III vs grade IV (73 vs 59 ng/ml, p=0.46). No difference in sPD-L1 in IDHmut vs IDHwt (63.3 vs 59.1 ng/ml, p=0.496), nor in IDHwt vs HC (59.1 vs 47.8 ng/ml, p=0.109). Trend to significance in IDHmut vs HC (63.3 vs 47.8, p=0.062). Conclusions: sPD-L1 levels were significantly higher in glioma pts compared to HC. A trend was seen towards higher sPD-L1 levels in lower-grade (grades II, III) IDHmut gliomas. These findings may indicate a different systemic immune profile for currently defined glioma groups based on histologic grade and IDH status and merit confirmation in a larger sample.

Abstract:

In order to determine the impact of different substituents and their positions on intermolecular interactions and ultimately on the crystal packing, unsubstituted N-phenyl-2-phthalimidoethanesulfonamide, C16H14N2O4S, (I), and the N-(4-nitrophenyl)-, C16H13N3O6S, (II), N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-, C16H16N3O6S, (III), and N-(2-ethylphenyl)-, as the monohydrate, C18H18N2O4S·H2O, (IV), derivatives have been characterized by single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Sulfonamides (I) and (II) have triclinic crystal systems, while (III) and (IV) are monoclinic. Although the molecules differ from each other only with respect to small substituents and their positions, they crystallized in different space groups as a result of differing intra- and intermolecular hydrogen-bond interactions. The structures of (I), (II) and (III) are stabilized by intermolecular N—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, while that of (IV) is stabilized by intermolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds. All four structures are of interest with respect to their biological activities and have been studied as part of a program to develop anticonvulsant drugs for the treatment of epilepsy.

Abstract:

The morpholinium (tetrahydro-2H-1,4-oxazin-4-ium) cation has been used as a counter-ion in both inorganic and organic salt formation and particularly in metal complex stabilization. To examine the influence of interactive substituent groups in the aromatic rings of benzoic acids upon secondary structure generation, the anhydrous salts of morpholine with salicylic acid, C4H10NO+·C7H5O3−, (I), 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid, C4H10NO+·C7H3N2O7−, (II), 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, C4H10NO+·C7H3N2O6−, (III), and 4-nitroanthranilic acid, C4H10NO+·C7H5N2O4−, (IV), have been prepared and their hydrogen-bonded crystal structures are described. In the crystal structures of (I), (III) and (IV), the cations and anions are linked by moderately strong N—H...Ocarboxylhydrogen bonds, but the secondary structure propagation differs among the three,viz.one-dimensional chains extending along [010] in (I), a discrete cyclic heterotetramer in (III), and in (IV), a heterotetramer with amine N—H...O hydrogen-bond extensions alongb, giving a two-layered ribbon structure. With the heterotetramers in both (III) and (IV), the ion pairs are linked though inversion-related N—H...Ocarboxylatehydrogen bonds, giving cyclicR44(12) motifs. With (II), in which the anion is a phenolate rather than a carboxylate, the stronger assocation is through a symmetric lateral three-centre cyclicR12(6) N—H...(O,O′) hydrogen-bonding linkage involving the phenolate and nitro O-atom acceptors of the anion, with extension through a weaker O—H...Ocarboxylhydrogen bond. This results in a one-dimensional chain structure extending along [100]. In the structures of two of the salts [i.e.(II) and (IV)], there are also π–π ring interactions, with ring-centroid separations of 3.5516 (9) and 3.7700 (9) Å in (II), and 3.7340 (9) Å in (IV).

Abstract:

The conformational flexibilities are studied in two new organotin(IV) complexes, namely, trans-dichloridodimethylbis[N,N′,N′′-tris(2-chlorobenzyl)phosphoric triamide]tin(IV), [Sn(CH3)2(C21H21Cl3N3OP)2Cl2] or Sn(CH3)2Cl2{OP[NHCH2C6H4(2-Cl)]3}2, (I), and bis(dipropylammonium) tetrachloridodimethylstannate(IV), [(CH3CH2CH2)2NH2]2[Sn(CH3)2Cl4], (II), and their analogous structures from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD). The conformations are considered based on the N—P=O—Sn torsion angles for (I) and the C—C—C—N, C—C—N—C, C—N—C—C and N—C—C—C torsion angles for the two symmetry-independent [CH3CH2CH2NH2CH2CH2CH3]+ cations in (II), and the ±ac±sp±ac (ac = anticlinal and sp = synperiplanar) and ±ap±ap±ap±ap (ap = antiperiplanar) conformations are observed, respectively. In both structures, the four atoms in the corners of the square-planar segment of the octahedral shape around the Sn atom participate in normal hydrogen-bonding interactions as acceptors, which include two O and two Cl atoms for (I), and four Cl atoms for (II). However, the phosphoric triamide ligands block the environment around the Sn atom and limit the hydrogen-bond pattern to form a supramolecular ribbon assembly, while in the presence of small organic cations in (II), a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded architecture is achieved. The weak interactions π–π, C—H...π and C—Cl...π in (I), and C—H...Cl in (II) do not change the dimensionality of the hydrogen-bond pattern. The 62 CSD structures analogous to (I), i.e. with an SnOPN3 segment (including 83 entries) fall into four categories of conformations based on the N—P=O—Sn torsion angles. The 132 [(CH3CH2CH2)2NH2]+ cations from 85 CSD structures are classified into seven groups based on the torsion angles noted for (II). Most of the CSD structures adopt the same associated conformations noted for (I) and (II). 15 [Sn(CH3)2Cl4]2− anions extracted from the CSD are compared with the structure of (II).

Abstract:

ObjectiveIn this secondary analysis of the Glyburide Advantage in Malignant Edema and Stroke (GAMES-RP) Trial, we report the effect of IV glyburide on adjudicated, edema-related endpoints.MethodsBlinded adjudicators assigned designations for hemorrhagic transformation, neurologic deterioration, malignant edema, and edema-related death to patients from the GAMES-RP phase II randomized controlled trial of IV glyburide for large hemispheric infarct. Rates of these endpoints were compared between treatment arms in the per-protocol sample. In those participants with malignant edema, the effects of treatment on additional markers of edema and clinical deterioration were examined.ResultsIn the per-protocol sample, 41 patients received glyburide and 36 received placebo. There was no difference in the frequency of hemorrhagic transformation (n = 24 [58.5%] in IV glyburide vs n = 23 [63.9%] in placebo, p = 0.91) or the incidence of malignant edema (n = 19 [46%] in IV glyburide vs n = 17 [47%] in placebo, p = 0.94). However, treatment with IV glyburide was associated with a reduced proportion of deaths attributed to cerebral edema (n = 1 [2.4%] with IV glyburide vs n = 8 [22.2%] with placebo, p = 0.01). In the subset of patients with malignant edema, those treated with IV glyburide had less midline shift (p < 0.01) and reduced MMP-9 (matrix metalloproteinase 9) levels (p < 0.01). The glyburide treatment group had lower rate of NIH Stroke Scale (NIHSS) increase of ≥4 during the infusion period (n = 7 [37%] in IV glyburide vs n = 12 [71%] in placebo, p = 0.043), and of change in level of alertness (NIHSS subscore 1a; n = 11 [58%] vs n = 15 [94%], p = 0.016).ConclusionIV glyburide was associated with improvements in midline shift, level of alertness, and NIHSS, and there were fewer deaths attributed to edema. Additional studies of IV glyburide in large hemispheric infarction are warranted to corroborate these findings.ClinicalTrials.gov identifierNCT01794182.Level of evidenceThis study provides Class II evidence that for patients with large hemispheric infarction, IV glyburide improves some edema-related endpoints.
