Fabrication of Chiral‐Selective Nanotubular Heterojunctions through Living Supramolecular Polymerization
Authors: Ma Xiaojie , Zhang Yibin , Zhang Yifan , Liu Yin , Che Yanke , Zhao Jincai
Published: June 2016

Novel, chiral‐selective linear nanotubular heterojunctions were achieved by living supramolecular polymerization of perylenediimide (PDI) derivatives. We demonstrate that the chiral seed can effectively bias achiral PDI molecules to polymerize on its ends in the identical helical sense. More interestingly, the chiral seed can bias the opposite enantiomers to grow expitaxially from its ends even in excess amounts relative to the seed. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the biasing effect of the chiral seed on the opposite enantiomer is not dependent on the length of the chiral seed but is related to the intrinsic length of the elongated nanotube from the opposite enantiomer. The fabrication of chiral‐selective nanotubes was achieved by application of the unique biasing effect of the chiral seed in living supramolecular self‐assembly.
Polyurethanes based on 2,2‐Dinitropropane‐1,3‐diol and 2,2‐bis(azidomethyl)propane‐1,3‐diol as potential energetic binders
Authors: Bellan Andreas B. , Hafner Sven , Hartdegen Vera A. , Klapötke Thomas M.
Published: June 2016

On the base of 2,2‐bis(azidomethyl)propane‐1,3‐diol (BAMP) and 2,2‐dinitropropane‐1,3‐diol (DNPD) four different polyurethanes were synthesized in a polyaddition reaction using hexamethylene diisocyanate (HMDI) and diisocyanato ethane (DIE). The obtained prepolymers were mainly characterized using vibrational spectroscopy (IR) and elemental analysis. For determination of low and high temperature behavior, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were used. Investigations concerning friction and impact sensitivities were carried out using a BAM drop hammer and friction tester. The energetic properties of the polymers were determined using bomb calorimetric measurements and calculated with the EXPLO5 V6.02 computer code. The obtained values were compared with the glycidyl azide polymer (GAP). The compounds turned out to be insensitive toward friction (>360 N) and less sensitive toward impact (40 J). The good physical stabilities, along with their sufficient thermal stability (170–210 °C) and moderate energetic properties renders these polymers into potential compounds for applications as binders in energetic formul;ations. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Effects of silica on the morphology, structure, and properties of thermoplastic cassava starch/poly(vinyl alcohol) blends
Authors: Liu Yuxin , Mo Xianzhong , Pang Jinying , Yang Fang
Published: June 2016

Thermoplastic cassava starch (TPS)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/silica (SiO2) composites were prepared by a melt‐mixing method. The effects of the content and surface properties of SiO2 on the processing, mechanical properties, thermal stability, morphology, and structure of the TPS/PVA/SiO2 composites were investigated. With increasing SiO2 content, the plasticizing times of the TPS/PVA/SiO2 composites were shortened. After the SiO2 surface was treated with a silane coupling agent (KH550), the plasticizing times of the TPS/PVA/SiO2 composites decreased significantly. The tensile strength, elongation at break, and Young's modulus of the TPS/PVA/SiO2 composites increased. The mechanical properties of the TPS/PVA/SiO2 composites containing treated SiO2 were higher than those with untreated SiO2. The thermal decomposition temperatures of the TPS/PVA/SiO2 composites were improved with the addition of SiO2. The presence of inorganic fillers was beneficial to the improvement of the thermal stability of the polymers. The reaction between the treated SiO2 and the starch molecules was beneficial to the formation of more stable structures. The treated SiO2 indicated good interfacial adhesion and uniform dispersion in the matrix. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016, 133, 44020.
The utility of cadaver‐based approaches for the teaching of human anatomy: A survey of British and Irish anatomy teachers
Authors: Balta Joy Y. , Cronin Michael , Cryan John F. , O'Mahony Siobhain M.
Published: June 2016

Utilizing reality anatomy such as dissection and demonstrating using cadavers has been described as a superior way to create meaning. The chemicals used to embalm cadavers differentially alter the tissue of the human body, which has led to the usage of different processes along the hard to soft‐fixed spectrum of preserved cadavers. A questionnaire based approach was used to gain a better insight into the opinion of anatomists on the use of preserved cadavers for the teaching of human anatomy. This study focused on anatomy teachers in the United Kingdom and Ireland. From the 125 participating anatomists, 34.4% were medically qualified, 30.4% had a PhD in a non‐anatomical science and 22.4% had a PhD in an anatomical science, these figures include ten anatomists who had combinations of MD with the two other PhD qualifications. The main findings from the questionnaire were that 61.6% of participants agreed that hard‐fixed formalin cadavers accurately resemble features of a human body whereas 21.6% disagreed. Moreover, anatomists rated the teaching aids on how accurately they resemble features of the human body as follows: plastic models the least accurate followed by plastinated specimens, hard fixed cadavers; soft preserved cadavers were considered to be the most accurate when it comes to resembling features of the human body. Though anatomists considered soft preserved cadavers as the most accurate tool, further research is required in order to investigate which techniques or methods provide better teaching tool for a range of anatomical teaching levels and for surgical training.

Five‐State Molecular Shuttling of a Pair of [2]Rotaxanes: Distinct Outputs in Response to Acid and Base Stimuli
Authors: Ueda Masahiro , Terazawa Shoya , Deguchi Yasuaki , Kimura Masaki , Matsubara Naoki , Miyagawa Shinobu , Kawasaki Tsuneomi , Tokunaga Yuji
Published: June 2016

In this study we synthesized two acid‐/base‐controllable [2]rotaxanes featuring aminodiazobenzene and aminocoumarin units, respectively, as chromophores and dibenzo[24]crown‐8 and dibenzo[25]crown‐8 units, respectively, as their macrocyclic components. Each [2]rotaxane contained N‐alkylarylamine (ammonium) and N,N‐dialkylamine (ammonium) centers as binding sites for their crown ether components. The absorption patterns of the chromophores were dependent on the position of the encircling macrocyclic component and the degree of protonation, with three distinct states (under acidic, neutral, and basic conditions) evident for each [2]rotaxane. The mixed [2]rotaxane system displayed stepwise and independent molecular shuttling behavior based on the degree of protonation of the amino groups in response to both the amount and strength of added acids or bases; as such, the system provided five different absorption signals as outputs that could be read using UV/Vis spectroscopy.
Arsenic‐based Life: An active learning assignment for teaching scientific discourse
Authors: Jeremy Johnson R.
Published: June 2016

Among recent high profile scientific debates was the proposal that life could exist with arsenic in place of phosphorous in its nucleic acids and other biomolecules. Soon after its initial publication, scientists across diverse disciplines began to question this extraordinary claim. Using the original article, its claims, its scientific support, and the ensuing counterarguments, a two‐day, active learning classroom exercise was developed focusing on the presentation, evaluation, and discussion of scientific argumentation and discourse. In this culminating assignment of a first semester biochemistry course, undergraduate students analyze the scientific support from the original research articles and then present and discuss multiple scientific rebuttals in a lively, civil classroom debate. Through this assignment, students develop a sense of skepticism, especially for the original arsenic‐based life claims, and learn to clearly articulate their counterarguments with scientific support and critical reasoning. With its direct integration into first‐semester biochemistry curriculum and the excitement surrounding arsenic based life, this assignment provides a robust, simple, and stimulating framework for introducing scientific discourse and active learning into the undergraduate molecular science curriculum. © 2016 by The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 45(1):40–45, 2017.

Published: June 2016

Background

Risk factors for psychiatric comorbidity in multiple sclerosis (MS) are poorly understood.

Objective

We evaluated the association between physical comorbidity and incident depression, anxiety disorder, and bipolar disorder in a MS population relative to a matched general population cohort.

Methods

Using population‐based administrative data from Alberta, Canada we identified 9624 persons with MS, and 41,194 matches. Using validated case definitions, we estimated the incidence of depression, anxiety disorder, and bipolar disorder, and their association with physical comorbidities using Cox regression, adjusting for age, sex, socioeconomic status, and index year.

Results

In both populations, men had a lower risk of depression and anxiety disorders than women, as did individuals who were ≥45 years versus <45 years at the index date. The risk of bipolar disorder declined with increasing age. The risks of incident depression (HR 1.92; 1.82–2.04), anxiety disorders (HR 1.52; 1.42–1.63), and bipolar disorder (HR 2.67; 2.29–3.11) were higher in the MS population than the matched population. These associations persisted essentially unchanged after adjustment for covariates including physical comorbidities. Multiple physical comorbidities were associated with psychiatric disorders in both populations.

Conclusion

Persons with MS are at increased risk of psychiatric comorbidity generally, and some physical comorbidities are associated with additional risk.
Fostering Stakeholder Engagement: The Role of Materiality Disclosure in Integrated Reporting
Authors: Fasan Marco , Mio Chiara
Published: June 2016

This paper studies the determinants of materiality disclosure among International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC) Pilot Program companies implementing the IIRC Framework. In other words, it studies which variables influence the way in which such companies provides information about their materiality determination process. In order to test our hypotheses we performed a number of statistical analyses on a unique hand‐collected dataset including IIRC and non‐IIRC Pilot Program companies for the 2012 and 2013 fiscal years. Our results indicate that industry and some firm‐level characteristics (board size and diversity) do play a significant role in the determination of materiality disclosure, whereas the legal environment in which companies operate does not. Also, we found that IIRC Pilot Program companies disclosed more information about materiality than their competitors that did not join the program. This paper provides interesting insights for policy makers (in particular, the IIRC) and extends previous academic literature on integrated reporting.

Novel role of ASC as a regulator of metastatic phenotype
Authors: Okada Nagisa , Fujii Chifumi , Matsumura Tomio , Kitazawa Masato , Okuyama Ryuhei , Taniguchi Shun'ichiro , Hida Shigeaki
Published: June 2016

Disorders of cytoskeletal remodeling and signal transduction are frequently involved in cancer progression. In particular, apoptosis‐associated speck‐like protein containing a caspase‐recruitment domain (ASC) has been reported a proapoptotic molecule that is epigenetically silenced in several human cancers. ASC is a well‐characterized adaptor protein involved in the formation of multiprotein oligomers, called inflammasomes, and plays a crucial role in the activation and secretion of interleukin‐1β and interleukin‐18 in innate immune cells. However, the function of ASC in the regulation of tumor progression remains elusive. The present investigation examined the involvement of ASC in cancer progression and the acquisition of metastatic ability. To determine the effect of ASC depletion in in vitro and in vivo model systems, ASC was stably knocked down in B16 murine melanoma cell lines using retroviral transduction of shRNA. ASC suppression increased the motility of B16BL6 cells in scratch assays and augmented invasiveness as assessed by a Matrigel‐coated transwell system. Invadopodia formation and Src phosphorylation level were markedly enhanced in ASC‐knockdown cells as well. Since caspase‐8 has been reported to enhance cellular migration by Tyr380 phosphorylation via Src, we examined Tyr380 phosphorylation of caspase‐8 in ASC‐knockdown cells and found it to be elevated in ASC‐knockdown cells but attenuated by z‐VAD‐fmk or z‐IETD‐fmk. Moreover, ASC ablation increased pulmonary metastasis in mice after intravenous injection of B16BL6 cells. Our cumulative findings indicate that ASC suppresses cancer metastasis and progression via the modulation of cytoskeletal remodeling and the Src‐caspase‐8 signaling pathway.

Published: June 2016

Discovery of glycan‐competitive galectin‐3‐binding compounds that attenuate lung fibrosis in a murine model and that block intracellular galectin‐3 accumulation at damaged vesicles, hence revealing galectin‐3–glycan interactions involved in fibrosis progression and in intracellular galectin‐3 activities, is reported. 3,3′‐Bis‐(4‐aryltriazol‐1‐yl)thiodigalactosides were synthesized and evaluated as antagonists of galectin‐1, ‐2, ‐3, and ‐4 N‐terminal, ‐4 C‐terminal, ‐7 and ‐8 N‐terminal, ‐9 N‐terminal, and ‐9 C‐terminal domains. Compounds displaying low‐nanomolar affinities for galectins‐1 and ‐3 were identified in a competitive fluorescence anisotropy assay. X‐ray structural analysis of selected compounds in complex with galectin‐3, together with galectin‐3 mutant binding experiments, revealed that both the aryltriazolyl moieties and fluoro substituents on the compounds are involved in key interactions responsible for exceptional affinities towards galectin‐3. The most potent galectin‐3 antagonist was demonstrated to act in an assay monitoring galectin‐3 accumulation upon amitriptyline‐induced vesicle damage, visualizing a biochemically/medically relevant intracellular lectin–carbohydrate binding event and that it can be blocked by a small molecule. The same antagonist administered intratracheally attenuated bleomycin‐induced pulmonary fibrosis in a mouse model with a dose/response profile comparing favorably with that of oral administration of the marketed antifibrotic compound pirfenidone.
Role of Oxide Reducibility in the Deoxygenation of Phenol on Ruthenium Clusters Supported on the Anatase Titania (1 0 1) Surface
Authors: Chen Hsin‐Yi Tiffany , Pacchioni Gianfranco
Published: June 2016

The deoxygenation of phenol on stoichiometric and reduced Ru10/TiO2 anatase (1 0 1) surfaces has been studied by using DFT with the Hubbard correction (DFT+U). If the molecule orients with the OH group towards the metal–oxide interface, the direct deoxygenation of phenol can occur. However, on the stoichiometric TiO2 surface, the reaction is thermodynamically unfavorable. Two kinds of reduced surfaces have been considered: one in which Ti3+ centers are generated by hydrogen addition, and a second one in which a water molecule is removed from a hydroxylated surface with the formation of O vacancies and Ti3+ centers. On the surface reduced by hydrogen addition (Ti3+ ions), the phenol molecular and dissociative adsorptions (C6H5+OH fragments) become isoenergetic; the barrier to dissociate the C−OH bond is 1.19 eV, which indicates a possible channel for the deoxygenation of phenol. On the surface reduced by O vacancies, the dissociative adsorption is 0.22 eV more stable than the molecular adsorption, which indicates a thermodynamically favorable process; however, the C−OH activation energy is higher, 1.50 eV. The results show that the C−O scission can be an important step towards the direct deoxygenation. The reduction of the surface facilitates the direct deoxygenation of phenol significantly.
Spectral Capacitance of Series and Parallel Combinations of Supercapacitors
Authors: Allagui Anis , Elwakil Ahmed S. , Maundy Brent J. , Freeborn Todd J.
Published: June 2016

The porous nature of the electrode material in supercapacitors and the apparent conductivity of the electrolyte cause their impedance to show a complex frequency‐dependent behavior, which in turn makes it incorrect to treat them as ideal capacitors, even at a frequency of a few millihertz. This is particularly crucial if the intended application requires a configuration that uses stacked supercapacitor banks, in which errors in defining the metrics of the individual components accumulate. Although manufacturers provide supercapacitor ratings under DC only, by using a detailed impedance spectroscopy study of all possible series and parallel combinations of two different commercial 1 Farad carbon–carbon supercapacitors, we show that these nominal DC capacitances are not suitable to evaluate the equivalent capacitance. Instead, by using a model that consists of a series resistance and a constant‐phase element, we employed a real, effective capacitance (in proper Farad units) suitable for direct application. This effective capacitance can be used to define the frequency‐dependent quality factor of a supercapacitor and enables the easy calculation of series and parallel associations of identical or different devices.

Published: June 2016

Taking advantage of the structural diversity of different biomass resources, recent efforts were directed towards the synthesis of renewable monomers and polymers, either for the substitution of petroleum‐based resources or for the design of novel polymers. Not only the use of biomass, but also the development of sustainable chemical approaches is a crucial aspect for the production of sustainable materials. This review discusses the recent examples of chemical modifications and polymerizations of abundant biomass resources with a clear focus on the sustainability of the described processes. Topics such as synthetic methodology, catalysis, and development of new solvent systems or greener alternative reagents are addressed. The chemistry of vegetable oil derivatives, terpenes, lignin, carbohydrates, and sugar‐based platform chemicals was selected to highlight the trends in the active field of a sustainable use of renewable resources.
