BACKGROUND The t(14;18) translocation is a common finding in nodal follicular B cell lymphomas and diffuse large B cell lymphomas, and results in the overexpression of the antiapoptotic bcl2 protein. This chromosome rearrangement can be detected by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), with most breakpoints in the bcl2 gene occurring within either the major breakpoint region (mbr) or the minor c...

α-Isocyanoacetamides, acyl chlorides and dialkylacetylenedicarboxylates undergo a smooth multicomponent reaction to produce dialkyl 2-acyl-5-aminofuran-3,4-dicarboxylates in good yield. The scope and mechanism of this new multicomponent transformation are discussed.

The use of recombinant genetic technologies for population manipulation has mostly remained an abstract idea due to the lack of a suitable means to drive novel gene constructs to high frequency in populations. Recently Gantz and Bier showed that the use of CRISPR/Cas9 technology could provide an artificial drive mechanism, the so-called mutagenic chain reaction (MCR), which could lead to rapid ...

Background Due to increasing colistin usage, the dissemination of the colistin-resistant gene mcr-1 has been increasingly investigated. The aim of this study was to determine whether a traveler on a short-term international trip to a developing country could bring mcr-1 back to their home country. Materials and methods Thirty-four travel events from Japan to Vietnam encompassing 19 travelers ...

background and objectives: calamus rotang is used in traditional medicine. regarding the previous phytochemical screening of methanol extract of calamus rotang l. fruits (mcr), this study was performed to find out the antidiarrheal and hypoglycemic effects of the experimented extract in rodents. methods: castor oil induced diarrheal test was followed for screening anti-diarrheal effect of mcr. ...

one-pot multicomponent reaction between isatin, barbituric acid, and 6-amino-1,3-dimethyl uracil was investigated in the presence of sulfonic acid functionalized nanoporous silica (sba-pr-so3h) and resulted in the formation of spirooxindole dipyrimidines. spirooxindole unit is found in many natural products and biologically active molecules and 1,4-dihydropyridines are an important class of com...

We report a true MCR involving the reaction of N-(prop-2-ynyl)quinoxalin-2-amine derivatives with 2-iodoanilines and tosyl azide in the presence of 10 mol% of CuI and Et3N in DMSO to afford the pre-designed hybrid molecules containing quinoxaline framework linked with a benzimidazole nucleus. The MCR proceeds in the absence of any ligand and/or lateral addition of the catalyst/base affording pr...

An empirical rate equation was obtained for the methanation kinetics catalyzed by MCR-2X, a commercial catalyst prepared by Haldor-Topsoe. The studies were carried out in a fixed-bed reactor under differential conditions, and in a gradientless recycle reactor (Berry) over a range of total pressures, reactant concentractions (H2/CO ratios), and temperatures. The kinetics of methanation were foun...
