Effect of total sonicated Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans fragments on gingival stem/progenitor cells
2018
Background Aggregatibacter-actinomycetemcomitans (A.actinomycetemcomitans) are strongly associated with localized-aggressive-periodontitis (LAgP). The study’s aim was to test for the first time the effect of total sonicated A.actinomycetemcomitans-bacterial-fragments on gingival mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells’ (G-MSCs) proliferation and regenerative gene expression in-vitro. Material and Methods G-MSCs were isolated, characterized, expanded and stimulated by total sonicated A.actinomycetemcomitans-bacterial-fragments (0 (negative-control), 15, 60, 120 and 240µg/ml; serovar-b; n=6/group). Cellular proliferation and NF-κβ (NFKB1), Alkaline Phosphatase (ALPL), Collagen-I (COL1A1), Collagen-…
European eel (<i>Anguilla anguilla</i>) plasma biochemistry alerts about propanil stress
2017
Propanil stress response in the eel (Anguilla anguilla) was examined. Eels were exposed to 3.16 mg/L for 72 hr and allowed to recover for 96 hr. Plasma levels of cortisol, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alkaline phosphatase (AP), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, ammonium, lactate, albumin, and total proteins as well as electrolytes (chloride, sodium, potassium, calcium and phosphorus) were determined. As a consequence of exposure, cortisol, AP, AST, and LDH increased. A hyperglycemic condition, together with hyperlactemia, hypoalbuminemia, hypoproteinemia, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglycemia was registered. Ammonium increased during exposure concomi…
Specific inflammatory response of Anemonia sulcata (Cnidaria) after bacterial injection causes tissue reaction and enzymatic activity alteration
2015
The evolution of multicellular organisms was marked by adaptations to protect against pathogens. The mechanisms for discriminating the ’’self’’ from ’’non-self” have evolved into a long history of cellular and molecular strategies, from damage repair to the co-evolution of host-pathogen interactions. We investigated the inflammatory response in Anemonia sulcata (Cnidaria: Anthozoa) following injection of substances that varied in type and dimension, and observed clear, strong and specific reactions, especially after injection of Escherichia coli and Vibrio alginolyticus. Moreover, we analyzed enzymatic activity of protease, phosphatase and esterase, showing how the injection of different ba…
Endohedral Mixed Aggregates: Sodium Alkoxide Cages with Organic or Inorganic Central Anions and Variable Hull.
2021
Abstract Alkali metal alkoxides are widely used in chemistry due to their Brønsted basic and nucleophilic properties. Potassium alkoxides assist alkyllithium in the metalation of hydrocarbons in Lochmann‐Schlosser‐bases. Both compounds form mixed aggregates, which enhance the thermal stability, solubility, and the basic reactivity of these mixtures. A very unusual spherical mixed alkoxy aggregate was discovered by Grützmacher et al., where a central dihydrogen phosphide anion is surrounded by a highly dynamic shell of thirteen sodium atoms and a hull of twelve tert‐butoxide groups. This structural motif can be reproduced by a reaction of trimethylsilyl compounds of methane, halogens, or pse…

2005
Dokumentet er en del av en eksamensoppgave i MEF4200 Energimaterialer ved UiO høsten 2004. Som del av eksamen i emnet MEF4200 Energimaterialer ved Universitetet i Oslo (UiO) høsten 2004 var oppgaven å skrive en populærvitenskapelig artikkel for avgangselever i videregående skole. Artikkelen presenteres her og omhandler lavtemperatur brenselceller. De brenselcelletypene som beskrives er alkaliske brenselceller, PEM-brenselceller og metanolbrenselceller, alle med en driftstemperatur på normalt under 100 °C, og deres bruksområder.
Spectrophotometric determination of ethiofencarb in waters by reaction with p-aminophenol
1993
An automatized procedure has been developed for the spectrophotometric determination of ethiofencarb in water by reaction with p-aminophenol after alkaline hydrolysis to obtain the corresponding phenol sulphone. The hydrolyzed samples are continuously introduced into different manifolds at the same time as 300 mg/l p-aminophenol, 0.004 mol/l KIO4 and 0.04 mol/l NaOH solutions. The absorbance is measured at 638 nm after a reaction time of 6 min in stop flow. This absorbance band corresponds to the indo dye obtained from the reaction between the phenol sulphone of ethiofencarb and the quinoneimine form of the p-aminophenol and it permits a matrix-free spectrophotometric determination of ethio…
On nature of the transient IR-absorption STE-like bands at 0.15–0.36eV in alkali halides
2001
New evidence is given that two classes (A and B) of the transient IR-absorption bands: (A) with max. at 0.15-0.36 eV (in NaCl : I, NaBr, NaI, KCl : I, KBr : I, RbCl : I, RbBr : I), due to on-centre self-trapped exciton and (B) with max. at 0.27-0.36 eV (in NaCI, KCl, KBr, RbCl), due to shallow trapped electrons or bound polarons, are caused by the same defect-shallow trapped electron (e-) at the substitutional (cation: c-site) alkali impurity cation (M + ): [M - ] 0 c e - . The A- and B-class IR bands have the same location, similar shape, half-width (exactly coincide for KCl : I and KCl at 80 or 10 K with the same vibration structure). It is established that the same Mollwo-Ivey plot curve…
Isoquercitrin and polyphosphate co-enhance mineralization of human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells via separate activation of two RUNX2 cofactors AFT6 a…
2014
Isoquercitrin, a dietary phytoestrogen, is a potential stimulator of bone mineralization used for prophylaxis of osteoporotic disorders. Here we studied the combined effects of isoquercitrin, a cell membrane permeable 3-O-glucoside of quercetin, and polyphosphate [polyP], a naturally occurring inorganic polymer inducing bone formation, on mineralization of human osteoblast-like SaOS-2 cells. Both compounds isoquercitrin and polyP induce at non-toxic concentrations the mineralization process of SaOS-2 cells. Co-incubation experiments revealed that isoquercitrin (at 0.1 and 0.3μM), if given simultaneously with polyP (as Ca(2+) salt; at 3, 10, 30 and 100μM) amplifies the mineralization-enhanci…
Ein neuer weg zur herstellung von oligomeren aus acryl- und vinylverbindungen; modell einer matrizenreaktion
1966
In einer Reihe vorangehender Untersuchungen wurde die Herstellung molekulareinheitlicher, phenolischer Mehrkernverbindungen beschrieben. Sie besitzen je Phenolbaustein eine phenolische Hydroxylgruppe, wie systematisch untersuchte Acylierungen sowie Methylierung und Arylierung dieser Mehrkernverbindungen zeigen. In der vorliegenden Mitteilung wurde bei einer Zwei- und Dreikernverbindung an den phenolischen Hydroxylgruppen mit Acrylsaurechlorid umgesetzt, so das die entstandenen Verbindungen so viele polymerisationsfahige Reste wie phenolische Bausteine besasen. Die Polymerisation der Acrylsaurederivate in sehr groser Verdunnung gab oligomere Leiterverbindungen, die durch alkalische Hydrolyse…
Inorganic Polyphosphates As Storage for and Generator of Metabolic Energy in the Extracellular Matrix.
2019
Inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) consist of linear chains of orthophosphate residues, linked by high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds. They are evolutionarily old biopolymers that are present from bacteria to man. No other molecule concentrates as much (bio)chemically usable energy as polyP. However, the function and metabolism of this long-neglected polymer are scarcely known, especially in higher eukaryotes. In recent years, interest in polyP experienced a renaissance, beginning with the discovery of polyP as phosphate source in bone mineralization. Later, two discoveries placed polyP into the focus of regenerative medicine applications. First, polyP shows morphogenetic activity, i.e., induc…
