Monocyte extravasation into the vessel wall has been shown to be a critical step in the development of atherosclerosis. Upon activation, monocytes produce a burst of superoxide anion due to activation of the NADPH oxidase enzyme complex. Monocyte-derived superoxide anion contributes to oxidant stress in inflammatory sites, is required for monocyte-mediated LDL oxidation, and alters basic cell f...

In the title compound, [(Ph(3)P)(2)N](+)·[Cl-H-Cl](-) or C(36)H(30)NP(2) (+)·Cl(2)H(-), the H atom of the [Cl-H-Cl](-) anion and the N atom of the [(Ph(3)P)(2)N](+) cation are located on a twofold axis, yielding overall symmetry 2 for both the cation and the anion. The central P-N-P angle [144.12 (13)°] of the cation is in the expected range and indicates only weak cation-anion inter-actions. T...

When expressed in Xenopus oocytes, the trout red cell anion exchanger tAE1, but not the mouse exchanger mAE1, elicited a transport of electroneutral solutes (sorbitol, urea) in addition to the expected anion exchange activity. Chimeras constructed from mAE1 and tAE1 allowed us to identify the tAE1 domains involved in the induction of these transports. Expression of tAE1 (but not mAE1) is known ...

diabetic ketoacidosis (dka) is characterized by excessive production of organic acids leading to a low blood ph. rarely, because of other complicating factors blood ph may be in the alkalemic range and the term diabetic ketoalkalosis has been coined to describe this condition. so far, less than 30 such cases have been reported in the literature. we report a 34-year-old woman who received methyl...

Direct Catalyst Coating In article 2200332, Severin Vierrath and co-workers demonstrate the fabrication process of anion-exchange membrane water electrolyzer cells in a simplified way. The catalyst layers (black) are directly deposited onto anion exchange (yellow) via bar-coating. molecules split into hydrogen (white) oxygen (red). Cover illustration by Luca Bohn.

Tomato plants (Lycopersicon esculentum L. var. Ailsa Craig) were grown in water culture in nutrient solution in a series of 10 increasing levels of nitrate nutrition. Using whole plant data derived from analytical and yield data of individual plant parts, the fate of anion charge arising from increased NO(3) assimilation was followed in its distribution between organic anion accumulation in the...

The morpholinium cation based ionic liquids are designed to evaluate the thermophysical, chemical reactivity, and biological activity. To estimate and design the bioactive ILs, propionate and trihalopropanoate were considered under theoretical study by Density Functional Theory (DFT). To make effect of halogens atom on anion, propionate, trifluro propionate, trichloro propionate, and tribromo p...

Three new inorganic-organic hybrid materials based on heteropolyoxometalates, [L-C6H14NO2]3[(PO4)Mo12O36].3H2O (1), [L-C5H10NO2]3[(PO4)W12O36].H2O (2), and [C2H7N2O]3[(PO4)W12O36]. 4H2O (3), where C6H14NO2, C5H10NO2, and C2H7N2O are protonated L-leucine, L-proline, and methylurea, respectively, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by some physico-chemical methods. Elemental anal...
