The regioselective cyclometalation of 4-(pyridin-2-yl)phthalimide was exploited for the economical design of organometallic protein kinase inhibitors. 4-(Pyridin-2-yl)phthalimide can be prepared from inexpensive 4-bromophthalimide in just three steps including one Pd-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling. The versatility of this new ligand was demonstrated with the synthesis of ruthenium(II) half-san...

INTRODUCTION Spontaneous peritonitis, especially spontaneous fungal peritonitis (SFP), is an important and potentially fatal complication in patients with endstage liver disaese. We evaluated potential risk factors, microbiological findings, and outcome of patients with SFP compared to spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in critically ill patients. METHODS Retrospective analyses of critic...

Two hundred fifty-two cross-bred yearling steers (406 ± 24 kg BW) were used in a completely randomized block design with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments (7 pens/treatment) to evaluate the effects of dietary Saccharomyces cerevisiae fermentation product (SFP) and monensin (MON) on growth performance and carcass characteristics. Dietary treatments arranged as a 2 × 2 factorial were 1)...

We developed a novel topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)patch, S(+)-flurbiprofen plaster, (SFPP), containing S(+)-flurbiprofen (SFP), an enantiomer of flurbiprofen (FP). In a previous study conducted in an animal model, we showed good skin absorption and potent analgesic efficacy of SFPP. In this study, to examine the superior features, as an NSAID patch, of SFP as compared to ...

A series of N-substituted phthalimide derivatives were synthesized based on a pharmacophore study of paecilocin A (a natural PPAR-γ agonist) and synthetic leads. The introduction of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups to the phthalimide skeleton yielded compounds 3-14. Compound 7 showed significant PPAR-γ activation in a luciferase assay using rat liver Ac2F cells. Docking simulations showed tha...

4'-Phosphopantetheinyl transferases (PPTase) post-translationally modify carrier proteins with a phosphopantetheine moiety, an essential reaction in all three domains of life. In the bacterial genus Mycobacteria, the Sfp-type PPTase activates pathways necessary for the biosynthesis of cell wall components and small molecule virulence factors. We solved the X-ray crystal structures and biochemic...

The discovery of nucleotide diversity captured as single feature polymorphism (SFP) by using the expression array is a high-throughput and effective method in detecting genome-wide polymorphism. The efficacy of such method was tested in rice, and the results presented in the paper indicate high sensitivity in predicting SFP. The sensitivity of polymorphism detection was further demonstrated by ...

Spontaneous fungal peritonitis (SFP) is an infrequent but severe complication most commonly described in patients with liver cirrhosis. We present the first case of culture-proven SFP occurring in cardiogenic ascites. The diagnosis of SFP was clinically challenging as the initial ascites was consistent with the more common diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). The patient did no...

The process of resource distribution and load balance of a distributed P2P network can be described as the process of mining Supplement Frequent Patterns (SFPs) from query transaction database. With given minimum support (min_sup) and minimum share support (min_share_sup), each SFP includes a core frequent pattern (BFP) used to draw other frequent or sub-frequent items. A latter query returns a...

This document is a supplement to the HFRD-16.0 reference design, 1Gbps to 4.25Gbps Active Copper SFP Cable Assembly. It shows how to use the DS28CZ04 as an SFP serial-control interface in active copper SFP cable assemblies. The reader is advised to obtain a copy of the reference design to understand details beyond the scope of this document.
