Membranes prepared from Escherichia coli induced or constitutive for glucose 6-phosphate transport accumulate this compound from the medium. The transport is independent of the phosphotransferase system, insofar as a mutant deficient in Enzyme I of this system yields membranes fully active in glucose 6-phosphate uptake; and the addition of phosphoenolpyruvate to induced wild type membranes did ...

Further Course • PET scan : minimal increased FDG uptake with a max SUV of 1.9 (Fig.2). There was no evidence of a high-uptake lesion anywhere else in the body. • Given the low SUV uptake (which can happen in inflamatory disorders) and that patient had recent pneumonia it was decided to follow it radiographically. • 3 months and 6 months chest CT scans: stable size and shape of nodule. • At 18 ...

Nanocarriers have the potential to improve the therapeutic index of currently available drugs by improving their efficacy and achieving therapeutic steady-state levels over an extended period. The association of maghemite-rhodium citrate (MRC) nanoparticles (NPs) has the potential to increase specificity of the cytotoxic action. However, the interaction of these NPs with cells, their uptake mec...

The aims of this study were to evaluate the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) and elastic modulus (E) of adhesives, and primer/adhesive mixtures after aging for 6 months in water or oil; and to compare silver uptake patterns under the TEM. A one-step self-etching adhesive (One-up Bond F: OB), two two-step self-etching primers (SE Bond: SE and Protect Bond: CP), and two etch-and-rinse systems (Sin...

The uptake of tritiated thymine into cells of a heterogeneous population of Prorocentrum micans was investigated using light-microscope and electron-microscope autoradiography. Specificity of thymine uptake into DNA was demonstrated by the specific removal of label from wax-embedded material using DNase and by the high degree of localization of nuclear label to chromosomes in the electron-micro...

Mercury (Hg) vapor is released from dental "silver" tooth fillings into human mouth air after chewing, but its possible uptake routes and distribution among body tissues are unknown. This investigation demonstrates that when radioactive 203Hg is mixed with dental Hg/silver fillings (amalgam) and placed in teeth of adult sheep, the isotope will appear in various organs and tissues within 29 days...

Acetylene, an important petrochemical raw material, is very difficult to store safely under compression because of its highly explosive nature. Here we present a porous metal-organic framework named FJI-H8, with both suitable pore space and rich open metal sites, for efficient storage of acetylene under ambient conditions. Compared with existing reports, FJI-H8 shows a record-high gravimetric a...

On page 2057, a Lewis acid porous carbon material with tunable hydrophilicity is prepared by temperature controlled pyrolysis of Al based metal-organic frameworks, by C.-H. Lin, H.-Y. Huang, S. Ma, and co-workers. This porous carbon highlights its low heat capacity, and high water uptake, which acts as efficient laser-absorbing matrix/sorbent for detecting trace levels of target compounds.

Doxorubicin was intercalated into novel zirconium phosphate nano-platelets (ZrP). The obtained doxorubicin intercalated ZrP nano-platelets had an impressive 34.9% (w/w) drug loading. We used this material to deliver doxorubicin to breast cancer cells (MCF-7). Cellular studies with MCF-7 cells showed higher uptake and cytotoxicity of doxorubicin loaded ZrP compared to free doxorubicin.

Purpose: Bioincising is a biotechnological process for improving the permeability of refractory wood such as Norway spruce heartwood using the wood-decay fungus Physisporinus vitreus. The degradation of the bordered pit membranes by P. vitreus in its first stage of wood colonization enhances the uptake of preservatives and wood modification substances, whereas the strength of the material is no...
