We report the effect of nickel chloride on fibroblast-mediated collagen gel contraction, fibroblast migration and pattern of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activities expressed by human embrzonary lung fibroblasts (HELFs). After the treatment with nickel chloride, gelatin zymography, casein zymography and also western blot assay revealed a significant decrease of MMP-2 and MMP-1 active forms. M...

A 26-year-old female chemist formulated polymers and coatings usually using silver ink particles. When she later began working with nickel nanoparticle powder weighed out and handled on a lab bench with no protective measures, she developed throat irritation, nasal congestion, "post nasal drip," facial flushing, and new skin reactions to her earrings and belt buckle which were temporally relate...

   Nickel-molybdenum oxidebimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized in ethylene glycol using the microwave irradiation technique. According to the results, successive reduction of nickel and molybdenum ions, followed by thermal treatment of obtained nanoparticles led to formation of core-shell structured nickel-molybdenum oxide nanoparticles. According to the results, the thickness of the s...

: In this work, we have proposed a concept for the generation of three-dimensional (3D) nanostructured metal alloys of immiscible materials induced by megahertz-frequency ultrafast laser pulses. A mixture of two microparticle materials (aluminum and nickel oxide) and nickel oxide microparticles coated onto an aluminum foil have been used in this study. After laser irradiation, three different t...

The induction of aneuploidy by physical and chemical agents using different test systems was evaluated. The effect of X-rays, caffeine, acetaldehyde, ethanol, diethylstilbestrol, propionaldehyde, and chloral hydrate was studied by chromosome counting in Chinese hamster embryonic diploid cells. Aneugenic ability of cadmium chloride, cadmium sulfate, potassium dichromate, chromium chloride, nicke...

The first instance of an acidic aqueous biphasic system (AcABS) based on tributyltetradecyl phosphonium chloride ([P44414 ][Cl]) and an acid is here reported. This AcABS exhibits pronounced thermomorphic behavior and is shown to be applicable to the extraction of metal ions from concentrated acidic solutions. Metal ions such as cobalt(II), iron(III), platinum(IV) and nickel(II) are found to par...

The title dinuclear nickel(II) complex, [Ni(2)Cl(4)(C(11)H(10)N(2)O)(2)], lies on a centre of symmetry located at the centroid of the four-membered ring formed by the two Ni atoms and the bridging chloride ions. The Ni(II) atom is five-coordinated in a square-pyramidal geometry by the imine and pyridine N atoms of the Schiff base ligand, and by one terminal and two bridging Cl atoms. The Ni⋯Ni ...

The paper summarizes new information on the formation and functioning of Ni(acac)2-based multicomponent (Ziegler) systems for oligo- polymerization ethylene. It turns out that catalytically active sites formed in these are deposited nickel-containing nanoparticles generated via interaction starting components directly reaction system. is shown activity, productivity, composition target products...
