Inherited factor VII (FVII) deficiency is the most common of the rare autosomal recessive bleeding disorders (RBD), with an estimated prevalence of 1 per 300,000 in European countries.1,2 It is likely that the prevalence is higher in those countries where consanguineous marriages are frequent.We here report STER study results on 112 evaluable enrolled cases
Innate Immune Defense of the Sponge Suberites domuncula against Bacteria Involves a MyD88-dependent Signaling Pathway
2005
Sponges (phylum Porifera) are the phylogenetically oldest metazoa; as filter feeders, they are abundantly exposed to marine microorganisms. Here we present data indicating that the demosponge Suberites domuncula is provided with a recognition system for Gram-negative bacteria. The lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-interacting protein was identified as a receptor on the sponge cell surface, which recognizes the bacterial endotoxin LPS. The cDNA was isolated, and the protein (Mr 49,937) was expressed. During binding to LPS, the protein dimerizes and interacts with MyD88, which was also identified and cloned. The sponge MyD88 (Mr 28,441) is composed of two protein interaction domains, a Toll/interleuki…
Two New Triterpene Saponins fromAcanthophyllum laxiusculum
2015
Two new triterpene glycosides, 1 and 2, together with three known ones, were isolated from roots of Acanthophyllum laxiusculum Schiman-Czeika. The structures of the new compounds were established by extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR spectroscopic experiments and MS analyses as 23-O-β-D-galactopyranosylgypsogenic acid 28-O-{β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-6-O-[4-carboxy-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-oxobutyl]-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)}-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)]-β-D-galactopyranosyl ester (1) and gypsogenic acid 28-O-{β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→2)-6-O-[4-carboxy-3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-oxobutyl]-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→6)}-[β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)]-β-D-galactopyranosyl ester (2).
New Acylated Preatroxigenin Saponins from Atroxima congolana
2003
Eight new acylated preatroxigenin saponins 1–8 were isolated as four inseparable mixtures of the trans- and cis-4-methoxycinnamoyl derivatives, atroximasaponins A1/A2 (1/2), B1/B2 (3/4), C1/C2 (5/6) and D1/D2 (7/8) from the roots of Atroxima congolana. These compounds are the first examples of triterpene saponins containing preatroxigenin (=(2β,3β,4α,22β)-2,3,22,27-tetrahydroxyolean-12-ene-23,28-dioic acid as aglycone. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR studies and FAB-MS as 3-O(β-D-glucopyranosyl)preatroxigenin 28-{O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(14)-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-O-[O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(13)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(13)]-4-O-(trans-4-methoxycinnamoyl)-β…
Darstellung und Zerfall von tertiären Hyponitriten
1971
Dicumylhyponitrit (1a), substituierte Dicumylhyponitrite (1b1f) (p-Br, p-Cl, p-CH3, m-CH3, p-CH3O), Bis-[1.1-diphenyl-athyl]-hyponitrit (1h) und Bis-[1.1-dimethyl-pentyl]-hyponitrit (1g) wurden dargestellt. Die tertiaren Hyponitrite zerfallen bereits rasch bei-40 in Stickstoff und freie Alkoxyradikale, die dann zu den entsprechenden Alkoholen und Ketonen weiter reagieren. Die relativen Reaktivitaten von tert.-Butyloxy-und Cumyloxyradikalen hinsichtlich Wasserstoffabstraktion und β-Spaltung wurden fur verschiedene Losungsmittel bestimmt; Cumyloxyradikale neigen starker zur β-Spaltung als tert-Butyloxyradikale. Die freien Alkoxyradikale konnen Polymerisations- und Autoxydationsreaktionen init…
Surface complexation modeling of arsenate adsorption by akagenéite (β-FeOOH)-dominant granular ferric hydroxide
2014
Abstract A surface complexation model has been set up for the first time with akaganeite (β-FeOOH), a major compound of granular ferric hydroxide (GFH) used in groundwater purification units worldwide for arsenic and other toxic pollutant removal. Unlike the situation for the α-FeOOH polymorph goethite, there is yet no published surface complexation model to predict competing oxyanion effects. This is due to a linked bulk-surface reactivity by which excess protons released in an unknown amount from tunnel sites hamper quantification of surface protonation by acid titration. The measured proton uptake thus exceeds what can be expected from OH groups active in surface protonation. However, ch…
Versatile wet-chemical synthesis of non-agglomerated CaCO3 vaterite nanoparticles.
2011
Calcium carbonate (vaterite) nanoparticles of 20-60 nm size were obtained without stabilizing tensides by heating a dispersion of calcium bicarbonate (CaHCO(3)) in ethylene glycol for 30 minutes at 40 to 100 °C.
On the origin of Metazoan adhesion receptors: cloning of integrin alpha subunit from the sponge Geodia cydonium
1997
Integrins are prominent receptors known from vertebrates and the higher phyla of invertebrates. Until now, no evidence has been provided for the existence of integrins in the lowest Metazoa, the sponges (Porifera). We have isolated and characterized a cDNA clone encoding the alpha subunit of integrin from the marine sponge Geodia cydonium (GCINTEG). The open reading frame encodes a polypeptide of 1,086 residues (118 kDa). The intracellular domain features the sequence Tyr-Phe-x-Gly-Phe-Phe-x-Arg, which is different in one residue from the characteristic consensus pattern for integrin alpha subunits. We conclude that sponges, the oldest multicellular animal phylum, already utilize the struct…
Increased gene expression of a cytokine-related molecule and profilin after activation of Suberites domuncula cells with xenogeneic sponge molecule(s)
2000
Porifera (sponges) constitute the lowest metazoan phylum, Experiments examined whether sponges can recognize self/nonself molecules. Cells from the marine sponge Suberites domuncula were incubated with membranes from either S. domuncula or another marine sponge, Geodia cydonium, as well as with recombinant alpha-integrin from G. cydonium. The cells responded immediately with a rise of intracellular Ca2+ ([Ca-i(2+)]) if they were treated with membranes from G. cydonium but not after treatment by those from S. domuncula. This change of [Ca-i(2+)] was also recorded with G. cydonium alpha-integrin. In parallel, the expression of two genes was strongly upregulated; one codes for a cytokine-relat…
Analysis of different Sleeve Ferrite Cores Performance according to their Dimensions
2019
Sleeve ferrite core is an EMI suppressor widely used to reduce the conductive and radiated electromagnetic noise in cables. The interconnection of different electronic systems through cables is becoming more difficult due to the hard restrictions related to EMC compliance requirements. Thereby, the research of new solutions able to provide a great attenuation ratio in a wide frequency band is a challenge. This contribution focuses on analyzing and comparing the performance of a novel sleeve ferrite solution based on a nanocrystalline (NC) structure with several materials with different compositions. This component is able to provide a high initial permeability value at the same time that ma…
