A series of new matrinic acid derivatives 5a-e was synthesized. The chemical structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by ¹H-NMR, ¹³C-NMR, and electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy. The anti-tumor activities were also investigated in vitro by evaluating the effect of synthesized compounds on the proliferation of A375, A549, HeLa, and HepG2 cells. Compound 5e was found to be the...

A novel series of 3-(2-amino-6-pyrimidin-4-yl)-6-bromo-2H-chromen-2-one (5a-5j) were synthesized from 3-acetyl-6-bromo-2H-chromen-2-one (3). The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by IR, H-NMR, C-NMR, and mass spectroscopic techniques. The synthesized compounds were screened for in-vivo analgesic activity at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight. Among them, compounds 5a, 5b and 5...

Objectives The purpose of this study was to present a case of regenerative endodontic procedure. Case The maxillary 1st premolar of a 9-year-old patient was diagnosed as necrotic. Since the tooth was immature, we decided to treat this tooth with regenerative endodontic procedure. After disinfection of the canal, bleeding was induced by lacerating the peri-apical tissues ...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY To evaluate the case profile and verify the treatment eligibility (based on the modified IOTN) from written case records, of patients accepted for orthodontic treatment from the North Cork area of HSE South. MATERIALS AND METHODS A data collection form was designed and applied to the written case records of 200 consecutive patients accepted for orthodontic treatment in 20...

A series of bicyclic nucleosides containing a triazolyl-carbohydrate moiety were synthesized and their antitumor activity in vitro for human cancer cell lines was also tested. Compound 11 was synthesized efficiently with 3,6-anhydro sugar 7 as raw material, while compound 7 was prepared from 1,2;5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-glucose. Compounds 12a-e were synthesized by treating compound 11 with a...

Nucleophilic cycloaddition of thiocyanates 1a-e with C60 in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene afforded C60-fused 2-iminotetrahydrothiophene derivatives 2a-e and methanofullerenes 3a-d. The product distributions were highly sensitive to the substrates employed. The 2-iminotetrahydrothiophene derivatives 2a-e could be further manipulated by hydrolysis and acetylation to give 2-ox...

The purpose of this study was to compare the success rates of Class II subdivision malocclusion patients treated with either symmetric or asymmetric extractions. The sample consisted of 51 patients with Class II subdivision malocclusion. The patients were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 included 28 patients who were treated with 4 premolar extractions. The 23 patients in group 2 were treated wit...

A technique for making a matrix and wedges for amalgam restoration of deep and concave gingival outlined proximal cavities is described. Two clinical situations involving concave surfaces of the maxillary first molar and premolar are illustrated. (Received for publication November 1984.)

A mature miRNA may be generated from 5p or 3p arm of a hairpin precursor. The selection may be flexible via "arm switching". However, accumulating evidences suggest that both arms of many pre-miRNAs can yield mature functional miRNAs. Herein, we attempted to compare the isomiR expression profiles between the two arms through analyzing in-house and published small RNA deep sequencing datasets. A...
