Synthesis and Structure of U(VI), Np(VI), and Pu(VI) 2-Fluorobenzoates

Field: Chemistry (Physical Sciences)

The compounds NH4[AnO2(C6H4FCOO3], where An = U (I), Np (II), or Pu (III), CgH4COO− is the 2-fluorobenzoate anion, were synthesized and studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compounds I–III are isostructural and crystallize in the cubic system, space group P213, Z = 4. The main structural units of I–III are mononuclear complexes [AnO2(C6H4COO)3]− belonging to crystal-chemical group AB31 (A = AnO22+, B01 = C6H4FCOO−). The actinide contraction in the structures of I–III is manifested in a regular decrease in the lengths of the An=0 bonds in the AnO22+ cations and in the volumes of the Voronoi-Dirichlet polyhedra (VDPs) of the An atoms in the series U-Np-Pu. The intermolecular interactions in crystal structures of I–III were analyzed by the method of molecular VDPs.
Lepidocarpon Sporangia from the Upper Carboniferous of Illinois

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

1. Some young "un-integumented" specimens of Lepidocarpon from the Harrisburg, Illinois, coal ball collection are described. The geological horizon of the material is Upper Pennsylvanian. 2. The sporophylls consist of a radially extended stalk which at the proximal end is decurrent on the axis of the strobilus, and distally broadens into the leaf-like laminal portion. The lamina, extending at right angles to the stalk, covers the end of its sporangium and overlaps the sporophylls above. The sporophyll is traversed by a single vascular strand. 3. The sporangia, borne singly on the adaxial surface of the stalk of the sporophyll, are distinguished by the possession of a massive wall differentiated into two general layers, an outer protective layer and an inner nutritive layer. 4. Evidences were found of four megaspores in a sporangium, three of which aborted. The differential development displayed by the various specimens indicated an early selection of the chalazal megaspore as the functioning megaspore. With increase in size of the functioning megaspore there was a progressive decrease in the thickness of the megaspore membrane. 5. From an analogy of developing sporangia and megaspores of Selaginella and Lepidocarpon, the following conclusions are derived: any case of a megaspore of Selaginella remaining within the sporangium is due to some chance external factor and hence is no nearer the seed habit than the case of a megaspore that is shed; whereas, to Lepidocarpon, a sporangium of living and functional tissue containing a dependent gametophyte, the term "seed" seems "strictly applicable."
SYNERGY OF ANTIHOST ANTISERUM WITH DONOR SPLEEN CELLS IN THE GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST REACTION

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

SUMMARY The graft-versus-host (GVH) response has been studied in (A/He X CBA)F1 hybrid mice injected with spleen cells of either parent strain. Anti-CBA alloantibodies produced in A/He strain mice were shown to act synergistically with cells of either parent strain when the GVH response was measured as increased spleen weight in infant mice. Synergy was demonstrated also in adult hybrid recipients of A/He spleen cells when death of the host was used as a measure of the GVH response. Differences in immunoglobulin class may determine whether passive immunization with antihost antisera has a synergistic or an antagonistic effect in the GVH response.
Variables Impacting Nursing Home Goals of Care Discussions and Order Implementation During COVID-19

Field: Nursing (Health Sciences)

Abstract Nursing home (NH) residents are especially vulnerable to COVID-19, disproportionately suffering from severe illness and death. As such, resident Goals of Care (GOC) often had to be quickly established to ensure treatment preferences were known and respected. This study examined variables related to the occurrence of GOC discussions and added orders (Do Not Resuscitate, Do Not Intubate, and Do Not Hospitalize), including demographic, physical functioning, cognitive impairment, depression, number of diagnoses, and Optum participation (Optum provided added specialized care by nurse practitioners who routinely address GOC preferences). Subjects were 286 COVID positive residents from a large NYC NH. All data were obtained from the NH’s electronic medical records. Patient median age was 81 n (interquartile range 71-88), 59% were female, 61% were long stay (stay &gt;100 days) and 39% were short stay. Using bivariate correlations we found that older short stay residents were more likely to have GOC conversations. Additionally, older, cognitively impaired, Optum participants were more likely to have orders added. When all independent variables were entered into binary logistic regressions, only older age and being a primary English speaker were significantly related to the occurrence of GOC conversations (□2= 21.76**; N=278; Nagelkerke R2 = .10), while older age and being an Optum participant were related to added orders (□2=32.18**; N=164; Nagelkerke R2 = .24). Results have implications for (1) ensuring the GOC wishes of diverse populations are known and abided by and (2) improving the quality of clinician – resident GOC discussions.
The dawn of detachment

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

This article draws on Elias’s observations on the origins of political economy and sociology as well as his theory of involvement and detachment to supplement standard accounts of the history of sociology. It shows how, in the 1840s, sociology bifurcated into two tracks. Track I was the highly ‘involved’ partisan track associated with Marx and Engels and track II was the relatively ‘detached’, non-partisan track pursued by Saint-Simon, Comte, Lorenz von Stein and others. These two tracks continue to shape contemporary sociology as basic orientations. The polarization of class conflict predicted in Marx’s theory is contrasted with the class interdependence model in Lorenz von Stein, in particular. Elias’s work is understood as a synthesis of later developments in track II in which he strongly reaffirmed the historical separation of sociology from philosophy. Elias’s work is presented as a central theory of society and as a promising alternative to the prevailing practice of theoretical eclecticism in sociology.
The Lists of the Owners of <I>A Pochet Dictionary of the English and Japanese Language (sic) </I>, First, and Second & Revised Edition

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

For much of the Edo period, Dutch had been the only western language studied in Japan, but with the sudden arrival of Commodore M. C. Perry's four 'black ships' at Uraga Bay in 1853, learning English became indispensable. Under these circumstances, the Tokugawa government ordered Hori Tatsunoske, a Dutch interpreter, to develop an English-Japanese dictionary at the government-run school of European languages. Hori was the first Japanese to have spoken English to a foreign officer at the time of Perry's first official visit to Japan.In 1863 when the Dictionary was first published, only two hundred copies were printed and distributed by the government. However, the need for this dictionary was so great that it was revised and published again in 1866, 1867 and 1869.Research on the owners of this dictionary has been carried out by the author from 1998 to 2006. According to this research, there are currently a total of two hundred and eight known copies of this dictionary in existence. The fact that this many of the dictionaries can still be found over a century after their publication shows us how important this first English-Japanese dictionary has been over the years.

athetosis' and may occur in psychological illnesses, especially hysteria, and with drugs such as phenothiazines and levodopa.5This report adds amodiaquine to the list.Involuntary movements after taking phenothiazines have been attributed to toxic overdose or to individual idiosyncrasy.The doses of amodiaquine in our cases were large but not large enough to be toxic.The patients' reactions were therefore probably idiosyncratic.The rarity of such cases supports this view.
PHYTOCHEMICAL SCREENING AND ANTI ULCER ACTIVITY OF ETHANOLIC EXTRACT OF CISSAMPELOS PAREIRA LINN PENNEL LEAVES ON WISTAR ALBINO RATS

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Indomethacin induced ulcers in wistar rats was the main model of investigation of the anti-ulcer activity of the ethanolic extract of Cissampelos pareira Linn Pennel leaves in which ulcer index was used as the primary parameter. Inhibition of gastric lesions of the ethanolic extract of the leaves was observed at doses of 175mg/kg and 350 mg/kg when taken orally. At these doses, notable reduction in the gastric volume, free acidity and the ulcer index were observed when compared to the control group. From the results obtained, it can be noted that the ethanolic extract of Cissampelos pareira Linn Pennel leaves have anti-ulcer activity which can also be called as anti-secretory activity.\n\nKey Words: Cissampelos pareira Linn Pennel, anti-ulcer activity, ulcer index, Indomethacin

Graphene oxide and graphene oxide functionalized with silver nanoparticles : antibacterial activity and polymeric composites applications

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

O oxido de grafeno (GO) e uma forma quimicamente modificada de grafeno que possui grupos funcionais contendo oxigenio (epoxi, carboxila, carbonila, e hidroxila) distribuidos sobre a base e as bordas de suas folhas. Devido a abundância dos grupamentos oxigenados, o GO tem sido usado como uma plataforma para suportar e estabilizar nanoestruturas metalicas, tais como nanoparticulas de prata (NPAgs), visando aplicacoes biologicas. Alem disso, devido a sua excelente capacidade de dispersao e elevada area superficial, o GO tem sido considerado uma carga promissora para a construcao de compositos polimericos. Neste trabalho, relatamos a sintese do GO e dos nanocompositos de oxido de grafeno funcionalizado com NPAgs (GO-Ag) os quais podem ser utilizados como agentes antibacterianos de amplo espectro. O GO foi sintetizado por meio do metodo de Hummers modificado, e o GO-Ag foi preparado atraves da reducao in situ dos ions de prata por citrato de sodio. As folhas de GO foram funcionalizadas com NPAgs esfericas de diâmetro medio de 9,4 nm. Estes nanocompositos exibiram excelente atividade antimicrobiana contra as principais bacterias em ambiente hospitalar, tais como Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Acinetobacter baumannii, e Staphylococcus aureus resistente a meticilina. Os nanocompositos GO-Ag tambem foram aplicados como eficazes agentes antimicrobianos a fim de evitar a proliferacao bacteriana em membranas de micro e ultrafiltracao. Neste sentido, membranas antimicrobianas de acetato de celulose (CA) foram fabricadas a partir da incorporacao de GO e GO-Ag na matriz polimerica (CA-GOAg). Apos a funcionalizacao, as membranas permeaveis modificadas com GO-Ag foram capazes de inativar cerca de 90% das celulas de E. coli em comparacao com as membranas de CA nao modificadas. Os resultados sugerem que a incorporacao de nanocompositos GO-Ag e uma abordagem promissora para controlar o desenvolvimento da adesao bacteriana em membranas de purificacao de agua. Com relacao a demanda de novos materiais com elevada estabilidade e com capacidade de protecao contra radiacao ultravioleta (UV), foram fabricados filmes compositos transparentes a partir de acetato de celulose e oxido de grafeno. A caracterizacao fisico-quimica revelou que as folhas de GO estao bem dispersas por toda a matriz polimerica, proporcionando filmes compositos lisos e homogeneos. Em comparacao com os filmes pristinos de CA, os filmes compositos exibiram melhor capacidade de protecao contra radiacao UV combinado com transparencia optica a luz visivel, o que reforca a sua aplicacao como revestimentos transparentes com protecao UV para alimentos, produtos farmaceuticos, biomedicos, e produtos eletronicos.
Abstract
Original Article A Simple and Sensitive HPLC Method for Fluorescence Quantitation of Doxorubicin in Micro-volume Plasma: Applications to Pharmacokinetic Studies in Rats

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

A validated HPLC method was developed to determine the doxorubicin concentration in a small volume of rat plasma (60 µL) with convenient fluorescence detection. Sample preparation includes a simple one-step liquid-liquid extraction using a minimum amount of organic solvent, with extraction recovery more than 95%. The analysis was accomplished using PerfectSil C18 column maintained at 35 °C and a mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile and water (32:68, v/v; pH=2.6). The flow-rate was kept at 1 mL/min and the column effluent was monitored with a fluorescence detector at an excitation and emission wavelength of 470 and 555 nm, respectively. The detection limit was 5 ng/mL. No analytical interference was observed from endogenous components in the rat plasma. This method was feasibly applied to the pharmacokinetic study of 5 mg/Kg of doxorubicin after the intravenous administration to rats.
Influence of high growth rate on GaAs-based solar cells grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Single-junction GaAs-based solar cell structures are grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition system at the growth rates of 14 μm/hr and 56 μm/hr. The X-ray diffraction study reveals that the crystal quality of the structures with varying the growth rates is comparable. From the external quantum efficiency spectra, it is observed that different behaviors exist in the short wavelengths (<; 450 nm) and the long wavelengths (> 500 nm) as the growth rate increases. The short-circuit current densities of the standard and fast grown cells are comparable. However, the open-circuit voltage of the fast grown cell is lower by above 40 mV as a result of the reduced minority carrier lifetime in the base layer, which is estimated by PC1D simulation.
Self-care, foot problems and health in Tanzanian diabetic patients and comparisons with matched Swedish diabetic patients

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

The overall aim was to study self-care, foot problems and self-perceived health in 150 consecutively invited Tanzanian diabetic patients and to compare them with gender- and age-matched Swedish diabetic patients (n=150) from a middle Sweden area. The main study was cross-sectional and took place at a diabetes clinic in Dar es Salaam. All patients answered questions about their self-care satisfaction, diabetes knowledge and skills, and educational needs. Foot examination also included questions about foot-care and perceived foot problems. The patients' health was assessed using the SF-36 general health questionnaire. The Swahili version of SF-36 was pre-tested in 518 Tanzanian diabetic patients showing an acceptable validity and reliability. Glycaemic control was measured by HbA1c. The results indicated that 45% of Tanzanians and 43% of the Swedes reported satisfaction with their self-care. The Tanzanian patients reported that following doctor's advice was the most important factor necessary for feeling well, whereas the Swedish patients emphasised diet and exercise. Lack of drugs and education were reasons of dissatisfaction in the Tanzanian group, whilst the Swedes were dissatisfied with their own behaviour. None of the Tanzanians monitored their blood glucose themselves, whilst 50% of the Swedes did it on a daily or weekly basis. Significantly more Swedes than Tanzanians knew the interaction between insulin, food and exercises, and how to manage hyperglycaemia and hypoglycemia. The Tanzanians wanted more education about diabetes, treatment and injection technique, whereas the Swedes wanted education about psychological aspects of diabetes, foot-care and oral anti-diabetic treatment. Foot problems reported in the Tanzanian group were pain, numbness and pricking sensations, whereas the Swedes reported ingrown toenails, pain and fissures. Seven Tanzanians and one Swede had foot ulcers. Twenty Tanzanians and 103 Swedes reported to inspect their own feet. The Tanzanians had significantly poorer self-perceived health and glycaemic control than the Swedish patients. A follow-up study was performed with the Tanzanian group of patients after two years. Many patients did not return for the second investigation and 70 patients were re-assessed. They showed an improved self-perceived health and a significant decrease in HbA1c-value. In conclusion the results indicated that Tanzanian patients needed better access to a continuous and regular supply of diabetes drugs. Furthermore the Tanzanians' burden of diabetes influenced their possibilities to work, whilst Swedish patients were hindered in social activities. In both countries the importance of regular foot inspections of the patients' feet should be emphasised. Glycaemic control and self-perceived health seemed to be poorly related and for that reason diabetes nurse specialists need to use both measures in order to guide the patients towards the goals experiencing a good health despite having diabetes.
The Expression of the Pituitary Growth Hormone Receptors by Blood Mononuclear Cells Can Be Modulated

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

The action of the human pituitary growth hormone has been recently revealed in addition to its traditionnal effects on the staturo-ponderal growth and on the lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. We demonstrated the presence of hGH-N receptors by cytometry in various peripheral mononuclear blood cells. These hGH-N-R were detected on B lymphocytes and on monocytes, contrarily to the T cells which were mostly negative. Since most blood cells are in a quiescent state, we have tested hGH-N-R expression by stimulated cultured blood cells. After PHA-L activation, most of T cells did express hGH-N-R. After SAC stimulation, B cells continue to express hGH-N-R. Monocytes can be induced to enhance the hGH-N-R expression. Since lymphocyte activation requires antigen recognition and costimulatory signals given by accessory or lymphoid cells, we can now hypothesise that activated cells bear higher numbers of certain receptors rendering them particularly receptive to messages, such as growth hormone, from the neuro-endocrine system. Quiescent B cells appear more sensitive to growth hormone signalling than T cells, but activation open the latter to the influence of growth hormone. The sensitivity of the immune system to signals of the neuro-endocrine system thus depends on its stimulation level. These observations reinforce the view that hGH-N is part of the immune system regulation machinery.
