Exfoliated oxidized graphene (OG) sheets, suspended in an aqueous solution, were deposited on freshly cleaved HOPG and studied by ambient AFM and UHV STM. The AFM images revealed oxidized graphene sheets with a lateral dimension of 5–10 lm. The oxidized graphene sheets exhibited different thicknesses and were found to conformally coat the HOPG substrate. Wrinkles and folds induced by the deposi...

OBJECTIVES Oxidized LDL has been attributed a key role in the development of atherosclerosis. Previous studies have demonstrated increased plasma levels of oxidized LDL in patients with established coronary artery disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate if plasma oxidized LDL also predicts risk for development of coronary heart disease (CHD). DESIGN We used a nested case-cont...

The objectives of the present study were (1) to determine whether oxidized LDL and lysophosphatidylcholine (lyso-PtdCho), a major phospholipid component of oxidized LDL, stimulate the migration of cultured human mesangial cells and (2) to investigate the possible effects on mesangial cell migration of the cardiac natriuretic peptides atrial and brain natriuretic peptide (ANP and BNP). Oxidized ...

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is implicated in thrombogenesis, inflammation, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Previous studies indicated that oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) stimulated the generation of PAI-1 in vascular endothelial cells (EC). The present study demonstrated that LDL oxidized by copper, iron, or 3-morpholinosydnonimine increased the expression of NADPH ox...

structurally different trimethyl silyl ethers are oxidized with bu4/nio4 in the presence of alcl3 and bf3 as catalysts in ch3cn and chcl3 under reflux conditions. the corresponding carbonyl compounds are isolated in good yields.

The direct vasoactive effects of native and oxidatively modified low density lipoproteins as well as their effects on endothelium-dependent relaxations to 5-hydroxytryptamine were studied in isolated rings of pig right coronary artery. Slowly developing contractions were caused by native low density lipoproteins (100 gg protein/ml). The contractions were more pronounced in the absence than in t...

   Graphene oxide (GO) was prepared by an improved green chemical method using graphite flakes, KMnO4, a mixture of H2SO4/H3PO4, H2O2 and HCl. In several stages, ultrasound was used to separate the oxidized layers of GO. The use of ultrasound optimizes the effect of the reacting agents, decreasing the required amou...

Hantzsch 1 ,4- dihy&opyridines are rapidly oxidized to the corresponding pyridine derivatives using zinc chlorochromate nonahydrate [Zn(C1CrO ) .9H O] in dichloromethane at room temperature. In addition to aromatization, no loss of the 4- substituent is observed
