Semimetal bismuth (Bi), as an emerging non-noble metal-based cocatalyst and plasmonic photocatalyst, has attracted significant attention. In this work, a one-pot solvent-controlled synthesis strategy was utilized for the in situ-deposition of plasmonic Bi nanoparticles onto the surfaces of (BiO)2CO3 microspheres (BOC-WE) using bismuth citrate, sodium carbonate, and ethylene glycol as precursors...

Engineering skin substitutes provides a potential source of advanced therapies for the treatment of acute and chronic wounds. Cultured skin substitutes (CSS) consisting of human keratinocytes and fibroblasts attached to collagen-glycosaminoglycan substrates have been designed and tested in preclinical and clinical studies. Cell culture techniques follow general principles of primary culture and...

In the course of studies on the cleavage reaction of S-(isopropylcarboxymethyl) glutathione (GSIV) into isovalthine in kidney homogenate or glutathionase preparation, it has sometimes been observed that the amount of isovalthine formed is far le than that of GSIV decomposed. Furthermore, when such reaction mixture is analyzed on an automatic amino acid analyzer, prominent peak corresponding to ...

Corneal, lenticular, and retinal damage have been observed following exposures to a laser emitting in the near-infrared wavelength range (Nd:Y AG, 1.318 ~m). Ocular damage thresholds are much higher than for visible wavelengths. However, it was found that infrared (IR) exposures may result in multiple damage sites throughout the ocular medium and retina; that exposure sites which initially appe...

The designed peptide pyridine-2-carboxamidonetropsin (2-PyN) binds to the minor groove of double-helical DNA at two very different sequences, 5’-TTTTT-3’ and 5’-TGTCA-3’, with comparable energetics but quite different structures. 2-PyN likely binds the 5’-TTTTT-3’ site as a 1:l complex, whereas 2-PyN binds 5’-TGTCA-3’ sites as a 2:l complex. In order to enhance the binding affinity of 2-PyN for...
