BACKGROUND Cartilage injury associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures is common; however, relatively few reports exist on concurrent cartilage repair with ACL reconstruction. Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) has been utilized successfully for treatment of moderate to large chondral defects. HYPOTHESIS ACL insufficiency with relatively large chondral defects may be eff...

Recommender systems have been served to assist decision making by recommending a list of items the end users. Multi-criteria recommender system (MCRS) is type which enhance recommendation performance taking user preferences on multiple criteria. Traditional algorithms for MCRS usually predict ratings these criteria, and finally estimate overall rating different aggregation functions. In this pa...

A library of potentially bioactive compounds through the novel 1H-indole-methyl-isocyanide and MCRs has been described. A flexible and efficient synthesis affording great complexity and diversity is achieved with moderate to good yields with no need for protection and deprotection steps.

In this work, the efficiency, generality and applicability of new Bronsted acidic ionic liquid (BAIL) 1-methyl-3-(2-(sulfooxy)ethyl)-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride {[Msei]Cl} as heterogeneous and green catalyst for organic transformations are studied. Herein, the following one-pot multi-component reactions in the presence of [Msei]Cl are investigated: (i) the synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives fr...

A water-accelerated multi-component synthesis of organic target molecules was used as a key method for the preparation of cyclopentadiene derivatives. The three-component condensation reactions of primary amines with alkyl propiolates in the presence of N-methylimidazole in water at room temperature were developed as efficient and clean green synthetic procedures for the high-yielding preparati...

Significant research has been done on examining the problems of generating equivalent rewritings (ER) or maximally-contained rewritings (MCR) of queries. At the same time, when ERs and MCRs do not exist, users can still use views to obtain meaningful information on their queries. Emerging applications require a study of the problem of rewriting queries using views in a variety of new scenarios....

The proteolysis of the pro-opiomelanocortin precursor results in the formation of melanocortins (MCs), a group of peptides that share the conserved -H-F-R-W- sequence, which acts as a pharmacophore for five subtypes of MC receptors (MCRs). MC type 2 receptor (MC2R; also known as ACTHR) is the most specialized of all the MCRs. It is predominantly expressed in the adrenal cortex and specifically ...
