1-O-Acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-D-ribofuranose (I) was reacted with iodotrimethylsilane (II) and the product, the glycosyl iodide, was coupled with silylated uracil to afford 1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)uracil (III; 89%), with silyated cytosine to afford, on subsequent acetylation, 1-(2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-beta-0D-ribofuranosyl)-4-acetamido-2-(1H)-pyrimidinone (IVb; 81%), and ...

The C-6 substituted tryptophan di- and tri-peptides and , representing the tryptophan core of stephanotic acid, have been synthesized, the key steps being the formation of the phosphono-di- and tri-peptides and by a highly chemoselective rhodium(II) catalyzed carbene N-H insertion reaction, their subsequent Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions with N-Boc-6-bromoindole-3-carboxaldehyde, and the rho...

Tri-bimaximal mixing is a specific lepton mixing ansatz, which has been shown to account very successfully for the established neutrino oscillation data. Working in a particular basis (the ‘circulant basis’), we identify three independent symmetries of tri-bimaximal mixing, which we exploit to set the tri-bimaximal hypothesis in context, alongside some simple, phenomenologically interesting CP ...

To investigate the plan quality of tri-Co-60 intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with magnetic-resonance image-guided radiation therapy compared with volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for prostate cancer. Twenty patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, who received radical VMAT were selected. Additional tri-Co-60 IMRT plans were generated for each patient. Both primary an...

The present study investigated the protective effects and molecular mechanism of prostaglandin A1 (PGA1) and triptolide (TRI) on apoptosis of cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (CMVECs) in rats. CMVECs of rats were isolated and then cultured. MTT method was used to select and establish a cell hypoxia reoxygenation cell model. The cells were divided into four groups: Normoxia control group ...

Zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) derivatives with asymmetric (Zn-tri-PcNc-2) or symmetric (Zn-tetrad-Nc) structure, which possess wide spectral response in the visible/near-IR light region, are synthesized and utilized as a sensitizer of graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) with 0.5 wt% Pt-loading for photocatalytic H2 production. The experimental results indicate that Zn-tri-PcNc-2 exhibits much better...

Increased expression of forkhead box O (Foxo) transcription factors were reported in cultured myotubes and mouse limb muscle with corticosteroid (CS) treatment. We previously reported that administration of CS to rats resulted in muscle fiber atrophy only by day 7. The aim of this study, therefore, was to evaluate the time-course changes in the expression of Foxo transcription factors and muscl...
