Characteristics of the salivary microbiota in cheilitis granulomatosa.
2019
Background Cheilitis granulomatosa (CG) is a disturbing and persistent idiopathic lip swelling. The cause and treatment has not been wholly elucidated. Some reports infer that CG is mainly associated with dental infection but no firm or reliable microbiological evidence has been provided for a causative organism. This study aimed to evaluate whether microorganisms contribute to the etiology of CG in order to inform appropriate treatment options in clinic. Material and Methods Unstimulated saliva was collected from 15 CG patients who were diagnosed clinically and pathologically and 15 healthy controls (HC). DNA was extracted from the precipitate of the centrifuged saliva for 16s rRNA high-th…
Amine N-Oxide Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitor Polymers for High-Salinity Applications
2020
A series of glycidyl amine N-oxide polyethers with cyclic and acyclic amine N-oxide side groups and their block copolymers with poly(propylene) oxide (Mn in the range of 1.8–6.4 kg/mol) have been s...
N‑Oxide Polyethers as Kinetic Hydrate Inhibitors: Side Chain Ring Size Makes the Difference
2021
The formation of gas hydrates in flow lines is one of the most severe problems for flow assurance in the gas and oil industry. Developing effective kinetic hydrate inhibitors (KHIs) to avoid the problem of gas hydrate formation has attracted widespread attention. In this study, a series of poly(glycidyl amine N-oxide)s (PGAOs) with 5–7-membered rings as side chains, poly(pyrrolidine glycidyl amine N-oxide)s (PPyrGAOs), poly(piperidine glycidyl amine N-oxide)s (PPiGAOs), and poly(azepane glycidyl amine N-oxide)s (PAzGAOs), with varying molecular weights, have been synthesized. The KHI performance of these glycidyl amine N-oxide polyethers has been evaluated in high-pressure rocking cells wit…
Recent advances in the development of cyclin-dependent kinase 7 inhibitors.
2019
Abstract Cyclin dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) plays a double role as it activates several other cyclin dependent kinases and participates to the initiation of transcription. This kinase is overexpressed in various types of tumors. Relatively few selective CDK7 inhibitors have been up to now disclosed. Most of these inhibitors belong to two chemical families: pyrazolopyrimidines and pyrazolotriazines on one side and pyrimidines on another side. They also differ by their molecular mechanism of action. Some are acting as competitive inhibitors and some others are covalent inhibitors. With these tools, the understanding of the potential therapeutic interest of CDK7 inhibitors in cancer is rapidly g…
