European Panel on Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Subclasses: A Statement on the Pathophysiology, Atherogenicity and Clinical Significance of LDL Subcl…
2011
Item does not contain fulltext Aim of the present Consensus Statement is to provide a comprehensive and up to-date document on the pathophysiology, atherogenicity and clinical significance of low density liproproteins (LDL) subclasses. We sub-divided our statement in 2 sections. section I discusses the pathophysiology, atherogenicity and measurement issues, while section II is focused on the effects of drug and lifestyle modifications. Suggestions for future research in the field are highlighted at the end of section II. Each section includes Conclusions.
Al-27 and Si-29 Solid-State NMR Characterization of Calcium-Aluminosilicate-Hydrate
2012
International audience; Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the main constituent of hydrated cement paste and determines its cohesive properties. Because of the environmental impact of cement industry, it is more and more common to replace a part of the clinker in cement by secondary cementitious materials (SCMs). These SCMs are generally alumina-rich and as a consequence some aluminum is incorporated into the C-S-H. This may have consequences on the cohesion and durability of the material, and it is thus of importance to know the amount and the location of Al in C-S-H and what the parameters are that control these features. The present paper reports the Si-29 and Al-27 MAS NMR analyses of …
Liquid structure and dynamics in the choline acetate:urea 1:2 deep eutectic solvent
2021
We report on the thermodynamic, structural, and dynamic properties of a recently proposed deep eutectic solvent, formed by choline acetate (ChAc) and urea (U) at the stoichiometric ratio 1:2, hereinafter indicated as ChAc:U. Although the crystalline phase melts at 36-38 degrees C depending on the heating rate, ChAc:U can be easily supercooled at sub-ambient conditions, thus maintaining at the liquid state, with a glass-liquid transition at about -50 degrees C. Synchrotron high energy x-ray scattering experiments provide the experimental data for supporting a reverse Monte Carlo analysis to extract structural information at the atomistic level. This exploration of the liquid structure of ChA…
Low level activity thresholds for changes in NMR biomarkers and genes in high risk subjects for type 2 diabetes
2017
AbstractOur objectives were to determine if there are quantitative associations between amounts and intensities of physical activities (PA) on NMR biomarkers and changes in skeletal muscle gene expressions in subjects with high risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) performing a 3-month PA intervention. We found that PA was associated with beneficial biomarker changes in a factor containing several VLDL and HDL subclasses and lipids in principal component analysis (P = <0.01). Division of PA into quartiles demonstrated significant changes in NMR biomarkers in the 2nd - 4th quartiles compared to the 1st quartile representing PA of less than 2850 daily steps (P = 0.0036). Mediation analysis of PA-…
Combined proton NMR wideline and NMR relaxometry to study SOM-water interactions of cation-treated soils
2013
Abstract Focusing on the idea that multivalent cations affect SOM matrix and surface, we treated peat and soil samples by solutions of NaCl, CaCl2 or AlCl3. Water binding was characterized with low field 1H-NMR-relaxometry (20 MHz) and 1H wideline NMR spectroscopy (400 MHz) and compared to contact angles. From 1H wideline, we distinguished mobile water and water involved in water molecule bridges (WaMB). Large part of cation bridges (CaB) between SOM functional groups are associated with WaMB. Unexpectedly, 1H NMRrelaxometry relaxation rates suggest that cross-linking in the Al-containing peat is not stronger than that by Ca. The relation between percentage of mobile water and WaMB water in…
Hydrolysis of Monomethyl-, Dimethyl-, and Trimethyltin(IV) Cations in Fairly Concentrated Aqueous Solutions at I = 1 mol L-1 (NaNO3) and T = 298.15 K…
2011
The hydrolysis of methyltin(IV) cations at fairly high concentrations was investigated to evaluate the formation of polynuclear species in aqueous solution. The hydrolysis of monomethyltin(IV), dimethyltin(IV), and trimethyltin(IV) was studied by potentiometry at T = 298.15 K and at I = 1 mol L-1 in NaNO3 aqueous solutions. The results obtained gave evidence for the formation of the following polynuclear species, in addition to the mononuclear species already reported, which were also considered in the models proposed for the three systems investigated: [(CH3)Sn(OH)3]0, [(CH3)Sn(OH)4]-, [((CH3)Sn)2(OH)4]2+, [((CH3)Sn)2(OH)5]+, [((CH3)Sn)2(OH)7]-, [((CH3)Sn)3(OH)5]4+, [((CH3)Sn)3(OH)7]2þ, [(…
