Mononuclear and icosanuclear spin-crossover complexes, [Fe] [Fe 20 ], were synthesized. has a bis-chelate structure, while ] ring-shape structure comprising four [2 × 2] grid moieties mononuclear units.

AIM To investigate whether human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) can cause latent infection of liver tissue. METHODS Peripheral blood and liver tissue were collected from 25 living related liver transplant recipients at the time of transplantation. An avidin-biotin complex peroxidase method was used to identify HHV-6 antigen in the liver tissue. A nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to dete...

Background: Many features of anticancer drugs, including cytotoxicity and/or cytokine induction, are studied using cell lines orhuman blood leukocytes. However, in a disease such as multiple myeloma, most cancerous cells are resided within bone marrowmononuclear cells. In the present study, we investigated the effect of pomalidomide on apoptosis and IL-2 production of bonemarrow mononuclear cel...

The new binuclear phenoxyiminato zirconium complex {1,7-(O)2C10H4-2,7-[CH=N(2,6-iPr2C6H3)]2}Zr2Cl6(THF)2 (FI2-Zr2) polymerizes ethylene with greater activity (approximately 8x) than the mononuclear analogue. Also, this catalyst produces high molecular weight ethylene + 1-hexene copolymers, while the mononuclear analogue yields only traces of copolymer under identical conditions. This ability to...

objective: in peripheral blood polymorphonuclear and mononuclear cells nitric oxide (no) could be synthesized by an enzyme called inducible no synthase (inos). inos gene (nos2a) is located on chromosome 17 at position 17q11.2-q12. no is released during inflammatory responses. in the present studies the frequency of nos2a gene polymorphisms and their effects on no production were investigated in...

mitochondria play key roles in many cell functions including energy production, fatty acid metabolism, pyrimidine biosynthesis, calcium homeostasis, and aging. they also regulate crucial signaling cascades such as apoptosis and oxidative stress. the proteome is often used to investigate the functional correlations on protein levels. based upon the human, genome there is estimated 2000 to 2500 a...

Indenyl-functionalised BEt(3)-adduct NHCs were prepared by the reaction of imidazolium pro-ligands with LiBEt(3)H. This compound was converted into the indenyl-coordinate molybdenum complex dangling the NHC·BEt(3) moiety as a substituent. The stepwise coordination of NHC afforded a chelate-type mononuclear complex as well as a bimetallic complex.

The syntheses of a novel hydroxyl-functionalized tetradentate NHC/pyridine hybrid ligand and the corresponding Ag(i) and Fe(ii) complexes are presented. Spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction techniques are used for structural investigations and cyclic voltammetry measurements reveal interesting electronic properties. Transmetalation of the trinuclear Ag(i) complex (C1) yields a mononuclear and a ...
