−Alginate microspheres incorporating poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate-co-coumaryl acrylate-co-2-ethylhexyl acrylate) (P(HEA-CA-EHA)) were prepared using the water droplets of W/O emulsion as a template. P(HEA-CAEHA) was prepared by a free radical reaction and the HEA/CA/EHA molar ratio was calculated to be 96.1 : 2.0 : 1.9 on the 1H NMR spectrum. The copolymer exhibited a lower critical solution temp...

Ubiquitous, low power consumption and high bandwidth density communication will require passive athermal optical filters for WDM transceivers in Si-CMOS architecture. Two silicon-polymer composite structures, deposited using initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD), poly(perfluorodecyl acrylate) (pPFDA) and poly(perfluorodecyl acrylate-co-divinyl benzene) p(PFDA-co-DVB), are analyzed as candi...

The expression of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-activated gene-1 (NAG-1) inhibits gastrointestinal tumorigenesis in NAG-1 transgenic mice (C57/BL6 background). In the present study, we investigated whether the NAG-1 protein would alter urethane-induced pulmonary lesions in NAG-1 transgenic mice on an FVB background (NAG-1). NAG-1 mice had both decreased number and size of urethane-induced...

The expression of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug-activated gene-1 (NAG-1) inhibits gastrointestinal tumorigenesis in NAG-1 transgenic mice (C57/BL6 background). In the present study, we investigated whether the NAG-1 protein would alter urethane-induced pulmonary lesions in NAG-1 transgenic mice on an FVB background (NAG-1(Tg+/FVB)). NAG-1(Tg+/FVB) mice had both decreased number and size o...

An efficient and general copper(I)-catalyzed method for the synthesis of multi-substituted vinylsilanes is reported. Multi-substituted allenes with electron-withdrawing groups and propiolate derivatives reacted well with (dimethylphenylsilyl)boronic acid pinacol ester to afford silyl-substituted butenoate derivatives and β-silyl-substituted acrylate derivatives, respectively. The corresponding ...

Two novel acrylate monomers, [5-(benzyloxy)-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-yl]methyl acrylate and {1-[(5-(benzyloxy)-4-oxo-4H-pyran-2-yl)methyl]-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl}methyl acrylate were synthesized by the reaction of 5-benzyloxy-2-(hydroxymethyl)-4H-pyran-4-one and 5-(benzyloxy)-2-{[4-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2,3-triazol-1-yl]methyl}-4H-pyran-4-one with acryloyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine, respectivel...

Macrophages have established roles in tumor growth and metastasis, but information about their role lung promotion is limited. To assess the of macrophages tumorigenesis, we developed a method minimally invasive, long-term macrophage depletion by repetitive intratracheal instillation liposomal clodronate. Compared with controls treated doses PBS-containing liposomes, resulted marked reduction n...

1. The inhibition of oxygen consumption produced by a series of concentrations of ethyl carbamate has been measured in the protozoan Tetrahymena geleii. 2. The relation found between the narcotic concentration and its effect on respiration leads to the conclusion that urethane has two distinct modes of action in this cell. The respiratory data can be accurately predicted by assuming that the in...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the changes of auditory parameters during anesthesia and establish the assessment indicators for anesthesia monitoring in animal experiments. METHODS BALB/c mice of 4 to 6 weeks were given a single intraperitoneal dose of urethane, and the auditory evoked potential in the surgically exposed inferior colliculus in response to pure tone stimulation was recorded during u...
