The Sn(IV) atom in the title compound, [Sn(C(4)H(9))(2)Cl(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))], is chelated by the N-heterocycle; the n-butyl groups are trans to each other whereas the Cl atoms are cis to each other. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with the minor domain being in a 15.8 (1)% proportion.

Memory T cells present a unique challenge in transplantation. Although memory T cells express robust immune responses to invading pathogens, they may be resistant to the effects of immunosuppressive therapies used to prolong graft survival. In previous studies, we found that compound K, the synthesized analogue of highly unsaturated fatty acids from Isatis tinctoria L., reduced acute cardiac al...

For the purpose of improving hydrogen release capacity of NaBH4, hydrogen generation performance of NaBH4 was catalyzed by Co2B and TiO2 compound with different mole ratio and percentage composition are investigated. The experiment mainly concentrated in the hydrogen generation rate and the hydrogen generation volume. The results indicate that the effects of hydrogen release of NaBH4 when the p...

Curcumin (diferuloylmethane), the active ingredient in the eastern spice turmeric (Curcuma longa), has been shown to inhibit the activities of numerous enzymes and signaling molecules involved in cancer, bacterial and viral infections and inflammatory diseases. We have investigated the inhibitory activities of curcumin and chemically modified curcumin (CMC) derivatives toward lethal factor (LF)...

INTRODUCTION Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide autoantibodies (anti-CCP) are the most specific serologic marker for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Genetic polymorphisms in a citrullinating (or deiminating) enzyme, peptidyl arginine deiminase type IV (PADI4) have been reproducibly associated with RA susceptibility in several populations. We investigated whether PADI4 polymorphisms contribute to anti...

A masked priming lexical decision experiment was conducted to examine whether or not assignment of letter position in a word can be influenced by lexeme boundaries. The experiment was run in Basque, which is a strongly agglutinating language with a high proportion of inflected and compound words. Nonword primes were created by transposing two nonadjacent letters that crossed or did not cross mo...

The health problems amongst musical instrument makers working on the White mulberry (Morus alba), lead to investigate the toxicity potential of wood extractives. Five solvents of different polarity and two methods of extractions were used to ensure a thorough, clear and classified compound removal. The compounds were identified using qualitative GC-mass and the toxicity were determined by study...

To prepare lomustine-iohexol compound liposomes, and evaluate the properties, determine the entrapment efficiency. Liposomes were prepared by reverse evaporation method; orthogonal design was used to optimize the formulation. Free drugs and liposomes were separated using protamine aggregation method and entrapment efficiency was determined by HPLC. The optimal formula was as follows: soybean ph...

From the beginning of the Middletown project the importance of determining the exact size and age distribution of the population was evident. Such information may not always be necessary in subsequent community-wide vaccination campaigns, but since one of our main objectives was to evaluate the degree of acceptance of oral vaccine in a typical small New England city, it was necessary to have ac...
