In the title compound, {[Cu(2)(C(4)H(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·3H(2)O}(n), Cu(II) ions with square-pyramidal coordination are bridged by exo-tri-dentate maleate dianions into [Cu(2)(maleate)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](n) layers coincident with the bc crystal plane. The inter-lamellar regions contain hydrogen-bonded cyclic water hexa-mers which facilitate layer stacking into a pseudo-three-dimensional crystal st...

Epithelial cells function as a mechanical barrier against invasion by pathogenic organisms and promote intercellular communication through cell-cell junction complexes. Therefore, the permeability and homeostasis of the gingival epithelial cell layer indicates a defensive capability against invasion by periodontal pathogens. Irsogladine maleate is a medication for gastric ulcer, and is also kno...

1. Topical application of capsaicin to the human nasal mucosa induced a burning sensation and sneezing. A dose-dependent seromucous nasal secretion was also observed. Capsaicin (75 micrograms) was more potent than methacholine (50 mg) in producing nasal secretion, while topical histamine (200 micrograms), substance P (135 micrograms) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (36 micrograms) did not i...

Infection of the human central nervous system (CNS) by the larvae of Taenia solium, termed neurocysticercosis (NCC), is endemic in most developing countries, where it is a major cause of acquired seizures and other neurological morbidity, including neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, despite its frequent manifestation, some findings, such as cognitive impairment and dementia, remain poorly unde...

Changes in coronary arterial size due to ergonovine maleate are described and quantitated in 90 patients 18 with typical angina pectoris, 56 with atypical chest pain, nine with variant angina pectoris, and seven heart transplant (allograft) recipients. We observed two angiographic changes in the diameter of coronary arteries: 1) spasm, which was characterized by occlusion or marked (>85%) focal...
