The origin of the narrow particle size distributions obtained in the oleic acid-based synthesis of hexagonal phase β-NaREF(4) nanocrystals (RE = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb) has been investigated. Compared to the standard synthesis, the growth conditions were simplified by using small purified particles of either α-NaREF(4) (cubic phase) or β-NaREF(4) (hexagonal phase) as single-source precursors, thereby a...

poly(4-vinylpyridine)-supported copper iodide nanoparticles is reported as a new, green and recyclable catalyst for the synthesis of aryl-14h-dibenzo [a-o] xanthenes under solvent-free conditions. this catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration and recycled up to 8 consecutive runs without any loss of their efficiency.

objective: β-thalassemia is caused by absence or reduction of β-globin chain synthesis. one of the effective therapeutic methods for this disease can be gene therapy by viral vectors. the capacity of lentiviral vectors is approximately 8 kb, we designed a 6 kb construct containing mini lcr and β-globin gene instead of lcr region. the aim of this study is to make a recombinant lentiviruses conta...

The Wnt-signaling pathway regulates β-cell functions. It is not known how the expression of endogenous Wnt-signaling molecules is regulated in β-cells. Therefore, we investigated the effect of antidiabetic drugs and glucose on the expression of Wnt-signaling molecules in β-cells. Primary islets were isolated and cultured. The expression of Wnt-signaling molecules (Wnt-4, Wnt-10b, Frizzled-4, LR...

Solanum melongena is a member of genus that widely cultivated as fruit vegetable in Vietnam. According to Vietnamese traditional medicine, the fruits and whole plants are used treat toothache, turgescence, pruritus, haemorrhoids. As part our project study chemical composition bioactivity Vietnam, five flavonoid glycosides including kaempferol-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (1), isovitexin (2), kaempfe...

Abstract Introduction Metacognition, also-known-as subjective cognitive functioning, is an important predictor of decline and previous work has identified age, education, mental health symptoms as predictors. Sleep essential for optimal neurocognitive functioning; such, sleep may also play role in determining estimates metacognition. However, it currently unknown if associated with metacognitio...

A new flavonoid, acacetin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-D-glucuronopyranoside (1), together with four known flavonoids, apigenin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1 (2), acacetin (3), acacetin-7-O-β-D-glucuronide (4) and genkwanin-5-O-primveroside (5) were isolated from the leaves of Glyphaea brevis. Their structures elucidated by spectroscopic techniques. The compounds (1 - 5) tested for their antiox...

Cyclodextrins (CDs) are well-known macrocyclic compounds in the fields of supramolecular and molecular recognition. For use as separation adsorption materials, water-soluble CDs must be modified into solid forms. Hybrid polymers consisting amorphous silica α- or β-CDs (propyl-modified α-CD, butyl-modified β-CD, ethylenediamine modified-βCD), designated propyl-α-CDP (2), butyl-β-CDP (3), EDA-β-C...
