The synthesis of two new synthetic analogues of lecithin, two of phosphatidyl ethanolamine ("cephalin"), and one new phosphatidic acid analogue is described. They comprise one of each of the following types: the "isosteric" diether lecithin and cephalin analogues ROCH(2)CH(OR)- CH(2)CH(2)P(O) (O(-))OCH(2)CH(2)N(+)R'(3) (R = C(18)H(37); R' = H or CH(3)); and the "hydrocarbon" analogues of phosph...

A new organically templated layered uranium phosphate fluoride, [(CH(3))(2)NH(CH(2))(2)NH(CH(3))(2)][(UO(2))(2)F(2)(HPO(4))(2)] has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of UO(3), H(3)PO(4), HF, and (CH(3))(2)NCH(2)CH(2)N(CH(3))(2) at 140 degrees C. [(CH(3))(2)NH(CH(2))(2)NH(CH(3))(2)][(UO(2))(2)F(2)(HPO(4))(2)] has a layered crystal structure consisting of seven-coordinated UO(5)F(2) penta...

CH(x) (x=1-3) adsorptions on clean and CO precovered Rh(111) surfaces were studied by density functional theory calculations. It is found that CH(x) (x=1-3) radicals prefer threefold hollow sites on Rh(111) surfaces, and the bond strength between CH(x) and Rh(111) follows the order of CH(3)<CH(2)<CH. A slight attraction between adsorbed CH(x) and CH(x), CH(x) and CO, CO and CO radicals/molecule...

A few studies have reported the occurrence of monoethylmercury (CH(3)CH(2)Hg(+)) in the natural environment, but further verification is needed due to the lack of direct evidence and/or uncertainty in analytical procedures. Various analytical techniques were employed to verify the occurrence of CH(3)CH(2)Hg(+) in soil of the Florida Everglades. The identity of CH(3)CH(2)Hg(+) in Everglades soil...

Reactions of fac-[PtMe3(4,4'-R2bpy)(Me2CO)][BF4] (R = H, 1a; tBu, 1b) and fac-[PtMe3(OAc-kappa2O,O')(Me2CO)] (2), respectively, with thioglycosides containing thioethyl (ch-SEt) and thioimidate (ch-STaz, Taz = thiazoline-2-yl) anomeric groups led to the formation of the carbohydrate platinum(IV) complexes fac-[PtMe3(4,4-R2bpy)(ch*)][BF4] (ch* = ch-SEt, 8-14; ch-STaz, 15-23) and fac-[PtMe3(OAc-k...

With the refinement of algorithms for the identification of distinct motifs from sequence databases, especially those using secondary structure predictions, new protein modules have been determined in recent years. Calponin homology (CH) domains were identified in a variety of proteins ranging from actin cross-linking to signaling and have been proposed to function either as autonomous actin bi...

Cílem přehledové práce je poskytnout přehled o současně v Česku registrovaných biologických a cílených lécích pro léčbu zánětlivých revmatických onemocnění. Konkrétně podán léčbě revmatoidní artritidy (RA), ankylozující spondylitidy (AS) psoriatické (PsA).

CONTEXT The Dutch T(4)-TSH-TBG-based neonatal screening program detects patients with congenital hypothyroidism (CH) of thyroidal (CH-T) as well as central (CH-C) origin. The numbers and characteristics of true-positive and false-positive referrals will differ from other, predominantly TSH-based, screening methods. OBJECTIVE The present study describes the characteristics of the referred neon...

The activation and adhesion of platelets or whole blood exposed to chitosan (CH) grafted surfaces is used to evaluate the hemocompatibility of biomaterials. The biomaterial surfaces are polyurethane (PU) tubes grafted with an inner poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and an outer CH or quaternary ammonium modified CH (CH-Q) brush. The CH, CH-Q and PAA grafted layers were characterized by ellipsometry and ...
