BACKGROUND Hemolytic diseases are characterized by enhanced intravascular hemolysis resulting in heme-catalyzed reactive oxygen species generation, which leads to endothelial dysfunction and oxidative damage. Hemopexin (Hx) is a plasma heme scavenger able to prevent endothelial damage and tissue congestion in a model of heme overload. Here, we tested whether Hx could be used as a therapeutic to...

Different hexoprenaline (Hx(2)SO(4)) conventional and coated wire electrodes were constructed and evaluated. Membranes were based on hexoprenalinium phosphotungstate (Hx-PTA) and hexporenalinium phosphomolybdate (Hx-PMA). The electrodes were fully characterized in terms of their composition, response time, life span, pH, and temperature and then were applied to the potentiometric determination ...

We study the effect of a higher-order nonlinearity in the standard Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation: partial differentialxG(Hx). We find that the stability of steady states depends on dv/dq , the derivative of the interface velocity on the wave vector q of the steady state. If the standard nonlinearity vanishes, coarsening is possible, in principle, only if G is an odd function of Hx. In this case...

Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) plays a central role in the stress. Huprines, a group of potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEIs), have shown a broad cholinergic pharmacological profile. Recently, it has been observed that huprine X (HX) improves cognition in non transgenic middle aged mice and shows a neuropr...

Highly correlated ab initio wave functions within the MRCI approach are used in a comparative study of the interactions between C2 and the three hydrogen halides HX (X = F, Cl, Br). Test calculations are also presented using the UCCSD(T)-F12 approach. The asymptotic regions are investigated for different relative orientations of the two moieties. It is shown that the three systems C2 + HX are b...

The design of a semiconductor or composite system—with applications in materials science—is complex because its morphology and structure depend on several parameters. These parameters are the precursor type, solvent, pH solution, synthesis approach, shaping agents. This study gives meaningful insight regarding such WO3 materials. By systematically alternating (sodium tungstate dihydrate—NWH, am...

The purpose of this study was to examine the physical properties of PEMA-TA/HX-based resins including 20 to 100% ethanol, for a root canal filling material. The values of the elastic modulus in the samples including ethanol were more than 250 MPa, being higher than the approximately 40 MPa of Gutte-percha (GP). The values of compressive strain in the samples increased in an ethanol concentratio...

The Ni-based Hastelloy X (HX) superalloy is widely used in aero-engine components because of its exceptional high-temperature strength and oxidation resistance. Given the complex structure such parts, additive manufacturing (AM) technologies as laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) are employed to manufacture these components. HX alloy suffers from crack susceptibility during LPBF process, however. In...

The photogeneration of X2 is the key to achieving an efficient HX-splitting photocycle, as it more thermodynamically and kinetically challenging than its H2 half reaction counterpart. Here we report a strategy that enables Cl2 photoelimination from low-valent binuclear d9–d9 d9–d10 Ni complexes. We demonstrate importance metal–metal bond interaction for M–X photoactivation with combination TD-D...
