Calcium dependence of the contraction produced by endothelin (ET-1) in isolated guinea-pig trachea.
1990
Endothelin (ET-1, 1 pM to 0.1 microM) produced a concentration-dependent contraction of isolated guinea-pig trachea. BAY K 8644 (1 microM) did not significantly alter the concentration-response curve for ET-1. Incubation with nicardipine (10 microM) partly inhibited responses to low concentrations (10 pM to 1 nM) of ET-1 while verapamil (10 microM) and diltiazem (10 microM) were ineffective. La3+ (10 microM) and Cd2+ (10 microM) preferentially depressed the responses evoked by high concentrations (30 nM-0.1 microM) of ET-1 without affecting the responses evoked by low concentrations of the peptide. Incubation in Ca2(+)-free (with EDTA, 1 mM) medium resulted in suppression of the responses e…
''A case of meningitis due to Achromobacter xylosoxidans denitrificans 60 years after a cranial trauma''
2011
International audience; ''Background: Achromobacter xylosoxidans (AX) is a non-fermentative aerobic Gram-negative bacillus. It is an opportunistic pathogen and the causative agent of various infections. We report an original case of late posttraumatic meningitis due to AX denitrificans. Case Report: An 83-year-old man was hospitalized for acute headache, nausea and vomiting. The emergency brain computer tomography (CT) scan did not reveal any anomaly. In his medical history, there was an auditory injury due to a cranial trauma incurred in a skiing accident 60 years earlier. Cytobiochemical analysis of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) revealed increased levels of neutrophils and proteins. The C…
Impact of lens material on objective refraction in eyes with trifocal diffractive intraocular lenses
2021
Purpose: Compare subjective (Rx) and objective (ObjRx) refractions outcomes with two autorefractors models and an aberrometer in eyes implanted with a hydrophobic trifocal IOL (FineVision POD F GF, Physiol, Liége, Belgium) and a hydrophilic one (FineVision POD F, Physiol, Liége, Belgium). Methods: Prospective comparative cohort study, with 100 subjects randomly assigned to either the POD F group (n = 50) or the POD F-GF group (n = 50). Postoperative eye examinations at 1-month visit included seven result sets, one for each assessment method: Rx, AR (automated refraction measured with the autorefractor KR8800), WF-P (Zernike-coefficients-based objective refraction, photopic pupil size), WF-M…
Steroid hormone receptors in human melanoma.
1981
Human melanomas were investigated for the presence of high-affinity estrogen-, gestagen-, and glucocorticoid-binding proteins. A statistically significant difference was found for mean estrogen receptor (ER) concentrations in melanomas of male versus female origin: female origin 37.6 (0-107) fmol/mg protein, male origin 3.9 (0-8.3) fmol/mg protein. No significant difference between sexes was found for gestragen receptors: 41.5 (0-194) fmol/mg protein for melanomas of female origin versus 99 (0-362) fmol/mg protein for male. Sucrose density gradient analyses revealed specific binding for both receptor types in the 4-5 S region as well as in the 8 S region. The binding affinities were in the …
Multiple points of view of heteronuclear NOE: long range vs short range contacts in pyrrolidinium based ionic liquids in the presence of Li salts.
2015
The nuclear Overhauser enhancement (NOE) is a powerful tool of NMR spectroscopy extensively used to gain structural information in ionic liquids (ILs). A general model for the distance dependence of intermolecular NOE in ILs was recently proposed showing that NOE spots beyond the first solvation shell and accounts for long-range effects. This conclusion prompted for a deep rethinking of the NOE data interpretation in ILs. In this paper we present an extensive and quantitative study of N-propyl-N-methyl pyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (PYR13TFSI), the homologue with bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (PYR13FSI), and their mixtures with LiTFSI based on 1H-19F and 1H-7LiNOE correlation …
Dispersion and Stabilization of Exfoliated Graphene in Ionic Liquids.
2019
The liquid-phase exfoliation of graphite is one of the most promising methods to increase production and commercial availability of graphene. Because ionic liquids can be easily obtained with chosen molecular structures and tuneable physicochemical properties, they can be use as media to optimise the exfoliation of graphite. The under- standing of the interactions involved between graphite and various chemical functions in the solvent ions will be helpful to find liquids capable of dissociating and stabilising im- portant quantities of large graphene layers. After a step of sonication, as a mechanical precursor, samples of suspended exfoliated graphene in different ionic liquids have been c…
Li2OSiO2Al2O3MeIIO Glass-Ceramic Systems for Tile Glaze Applications
1991
In order to verify the possibility of using glass-ceramic materials as tile coatings, the devitrification processes of three industrial formulations belonging to the Li2O─Al2O3─SiO2 glass-ceramic system were investigated by differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, and IR spectroscopy. Compositional variations were made by addition of large amounts of MgO or CaO or PbO (ZnO) oxides as well as through smaller additions of other oxides. In these systems the surface crystallization contributes appreciably to the bulk crystallization mechanism. All the systems investigated show a high tendency toward crystallization even at very high heating rates, devel…
Electrogeneration of Diiodoaurate in Dimethylsulfoxide on Gold Substrate and Localized Patterning
2016
International audience; A localized etching of gold surface by scanning electrochemical microscope technique is presented where a dimethylsulfoxide-based electrolyte charged with iodine is used. The electrogenerated triiodide ion at the platinum ultramicroelectrode tip (feedback mode) acts as an oxidant for gold surface. The effects of electrode diameter and the bias time have been investigated. The approach curve method was used to hold the electrode tip close to the gold surface. A scanning electron microscope is used to observe the etched gold surfaces where disk-shaped dots are generated. The diameter of these holes depends directly on the Pt electrode diameter and the bias time.
Mesomorphic and electrooptical properties of viologens based on non-symmetric alkyl/polyfluoroalkyl functionalization and on an oxadiazolyl-extended …
2019
Two different sets of ionic liquid crystals based on bistriflimide salts of non-symmetrically substituted polyfluorinated bipyridinium (viologens) and bent symmetrically substituted dialkyl-oxadiazolyl-bipyridinium have been synthesized, in order to study the effect on the mesomorphic and electrooptical properties of the non-symmetric functionalization (alkyl chain and fluoroalkyl chains of different lengths) on the two pyridinium rings and additionally the effect of a bent conjugated spacer among the two pyridinium units of the viologen. POM and DSC characterization show that the synthesized salts have a mesomorphic and, in some cases, polymesomorphic behaviour in a wide thermal range, als…
Hydrophilic membranes based on poly(vinyl methyl ether-crosslinked-polystyrene) semi-interpenetrating networks
1991
Microporous membranes were prepared from poly(vinyl methyl ether - crosslinked-polystyrene) (PVME-cross-PS) semi-IPN's by extraction of poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) with water. Membrane morphology and properties are fixed during the process of swelling, phase separation, PVME extraction and vitrification which occurs upon immersing the samples in water. The membranes are characterized by swelling (water uptake), the relative amounts of free and bound water, and their permselectivity towards KCI solution.
