For the first time, a laminar separation membrane was assembled from atom-thick MoS2 sheets and exhibited a water permeance of 245 L h(-1) m(-2) bar(-1), which was 3-5 times higher than that of graphene oxide membranes without degradation of the rejection ratio (89%) for Evans blue molecules.

The binding of muscle antibodies to skeletal muscle was studied by immunofluorescence techniques. The non-specific fluorescence was not significantly reduced by absorption of the conjugate by tissue powder but was abolished by counterstaining with a 0.1% Evans blue. Possible explanations for this effect are discussed. By this method, immunofluorescence may become more useful in the demonstratio...

To study the effects of antithrombotic therapy in experimental stroke, we have characterized a baboon model of acute cerebrovascular thrombosis. In this model an inflatable silastic balloon cuff has been implanted by transorbital approach around the right middle cerebral artery (MCA), proximal to the take-off of the lenticulostriate arteries (LSA). Inflation of the balloon for 3 hours in six an...

Vernonioside B2 isolated from the methanol extract of the Brazilian herb Vernonia condensata Baker was evaluated in vivo for analgesic and antiinflammatory activities. The compound reduced writhings (93.28%) and Evans blue dye diffusion (91.80%) induced by acetic acid (0.1 N) in a dose-dependent manner.

BACKGROUND Activation of both type 1 and type 2 tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors (TNFR1 and TNFR2) confers cytoprotection in cardiac myocytes. Noting that the scaffolding protein TNF receptor-associated factor 2 (TRAF2) is common to both TNF receptors, we hypothesized that the cytoprotective responses of TNF were mediated through TRAF2. METHODS AND RESULTS Mice with cardiac-restricted ov...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Despite uncontroversial benefit from its thrombolytic activity, the documented neurotoxic effect of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) raises an important issue: the current emergency stroke treatment might not be optimum if exogenous tPA can enter the brain and thus add to the deleterious effects of endogenous tPA within the cerebral parenchyma. Here, we aimed at determi...
