Background Pain in patients with chronic pancreatitis is critical hallmark that accompanied inflammation, fibrosis, and destruction of glandular pancreas. Many researchers have demonstrated that stromal cell-derived factor 1 (also named as CXCL12) and its cognate receptor C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) involved in mediating neuropathic and bone cancer pain. However, their roles in chro...

In this work, we report the synthesis of a combinatorial library of 80 derivatives of EDTA amide x-aminenaphthalene-y-sulfonic acid on four different supports with variable length linker. The sensing fluorescence behavior of these materials for transitions metals was studied by packing the beads into a conventional flow-through cell in a continuous flow injection set up. The fluorescence emissi...

BACKGROUND Living units (LU) specialised for people with dementia are an important feature of nursing homes. Little is known about their structural characteristics, and an international definition is lacking. This study explored characteristics of the environment and staff from defined LU types to identify differences between them. DESIGN Cross-sectional study comparing five types of LUs. LUs...

Composites of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs), electrically conducting polymers like Polyaniline (PANI), and poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)–polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT: PSS) were prepared by following solution casting method. MWCNTs functionalized with oxidative (5M HNO3) treatment schemes to improve the adhesion between polymer a II-II stacking interaction. Structural morphological...

The complexation of Alkali metal cations by the water-soluble p-sulfonic acid calix(4)arenewas thermodynamically characterized using spectrophotometeric data which are consistentwith the formation of a 1:1 complex resulting from electrostatic interactions between thesulfonato groups and alkali metal cations. In this study, we determined the formationconstants (log K) of the complexes and have c...
