Reaktionen an Aluminiumoxiden. 1. Mitt.: Umsetzungen von Aceton an Aluminiumoxiden
1972
Die Umsetzungsraten von Aceton (1) an verschiedenen Aluminiumoxiden wurden bei unterschiedlichen Bedingungen untersucht. Die auftretenden Stoffe wurden durch Vergleichssubstanzen identifiziert und durch Dunnschicht- und Gas-Flussig-Chromatographie nachgewiesen. Reactions on Aluminium Oxides The reaction rates of 1 on various aluminium oxides were investigated under different conditions. The resulting products were identified comparing with synthesized compounds and by thin layer and gas liquid chromatography.
Determination of total ribonucleotide pool in plant materials by high-pH anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography following extraction w…
2005
A new, improved method that only requires a potassium hydroxide extraction procedure is presented for the analysis of a full nucleotide pool in plant materials. Quantification was performed by high-pH anion-exchange chromatography (HPAEC) with UV detection after a potassium hydroxide extraction, and allowed the quantification of 13 linear ribonucleotides in a single run. The method has been validated by comparison of six extraction methods and also by measurement of the intracellular nucleotide levels of three plant species (cell cultures and leaves). The evolution of the nucleotide pool of Nicotiana tabacum cell culture during growth has also been measured, and showed an increase in the po…
Intraorifice sealing ability of different materials in endodontically treated teeth.
2010
Objectives To evaluate Cavit TM G, ProRoot TM MTA and Tetric® EvoFlow as intraorifice barriers to prevent coronal microleakage in root canal treatment. Study design Forty-two human single rooted teeth were divided randomly in three experimental groups of 10 specimens each and two control groups. The experimental groups were prepared with hand instrumentation and cold lateral condensed technique of the gutta-percha. Four millimetres of coronal gutta-percha were removed and replaced by one of the following filling materials: Cavit TM G, Tetric® EvoFlow or ProRoot TM MTA. In the experimental groups, leakage was measured by the concentration of leaked glucose in the apical reservoir at 1, 7, 30…
Retrograde filling material in periapical surgery: a systematic review
2021
Background Periapical surgery focuses on the treatment of teeth with persistent periapical lesions when orthograde root canal treatment fails. Although MTA® is the gold standard material for retrograde filling, Biodentine® - a tricalcium silicate-based cement - has been proposed in order to resolve several of its limitations. A systematic review has been carried out to compare the physicochemical properties of Biodentine® versus MTA® as root-end filling material in periapical surgery. Material and Methods An electronic search was conducted by two independent examiners during March 2020 in the Cochrane, PubMed-MEDLINE and Scopus databases. In addition, a manual search was made in specialized…
Cucurbitacin R Reduces the Inflammation and Bone Damage Associated with Adjuvant Arthritis in Lewis Rats by Suppression of Tumor Necrosis Factor-α in…
2006
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of cucurbitacin R on an experimental model of adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats. The treatment of arthritic rats with cucurbitacin R (1 mg/kg p.o. daily) modified the evolution of the clinical symptoms, whereas the histopathology of paws demonstrated a reduction in the signs of arthritis. Compared with the control group, radiography of the tibiotarsal joints of cucurbitacin R-treated rats showed a decrease in joint damage and soft tissue swelling of the footpad. The in vivo study of the expression of proinflammatory enzymes (nitric-oxide synthase-2 and cyclooxygenase-2) with the aid of the Western blot technique, and that of tumor necros…
Inhibition of VEGF expression through blockade of Hif1a and STAT3 signalling mediates the anti-angiogenic effect of melatonin in HepG2 liver cancer c…
2013
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) growth relies on angiogenesis via vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) release. Hypoxia within tumour environment leads to intracellular stabilisation of hypoxia inducible factor 1 alpha (Hif1α) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT3). Melatonin induces apoptosis in HCC, and shows anti-angiogenic features in several tumours. In this study, we used human HepG2 liver cancer cells as an in vitro model to investigate the anti-angiogenic effects of melatonin. Methods: HepG2 cells were treated with melatonin under normoxic or CoCl2-induced hypoxia. Gene expression was analysed by RT–qPCR and western blot. Melatonin-induced anti-…
K-region oxides and imines derived from alkylated benz[α]anthracene congeners: synthesis, stability in aqueous media and mutagenicity
1994
The K-region oxides and imines of benz[a]anthracene, 1-methylbenz[a]anthracene, 7-methylbenz[a]anthracene, 7-ethylbenz[a]anthracene and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene were synthesized and characterized (melting point, 1H-NMR and electron impact mass spectra, elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy). All 10 compounds showed high mutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium (reversion of his- strains TA97, TA98, TA100 and TA104). The arene imines were more potent than the corresponding arene oxides. Alkyl substitutions strongly influenced the activities. Furthermore, all compounds were more active when exposure took place in the absence of inorganic ions than when KCl (125 mM) was present. The in…
Epoxides metabolically produced from some known carcinogens and from some clinically used drugs. I. Differences in mutagenicity.
1975
The epoxide metabolites of two clinically used drugs and an experimental psychotropic agent, carbamazepine 10,11-oxide, cyproheptadine 10,11-oxide and cyclobenzaprine 10,11-oxide, were fully devoid of any mutagenic activity under conditions where K-region-epoxide metabolites of some known carcinogens, such as benzo (a)pyrene, proved to be potent frameshift mutational agents for Salmonella typhimurium TA 1537 and TA 1538. All epoxides tested were non-mutagenic for TA 1535, designed to detect substitution mutations. The 10,11-epoxides of the three drugs, carbamazepine, cyproheptadine and cyclobenzaprine, were not cytotoxic to any of the bacterial tester strains used, precluding that mutagenic…
High quality extra virgin olive oil from olives attacked by the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera Tephritidae): which is the tolerab…
2017
The infestation due to the olive fruit fly, Bactrocera oleae (Rossi), the key pest in most of world olive groves, has been monitored in six years, from 2004 to 2008 and in 2014, in eight coastal Sicilian olive groves consisting of ‘Cerasuola’ and ‘Nocellara del Belice’ cultivars. Infestation was recorded following the classical sampling method based on olive collection and dissection, in order to count live olive fruit fly instars (eggs, larvae and pupae) and exit holes. Four different infestation indexes, all of them calculated using data recorded at harvest, have been used to assess their relationship with the main three quality parameters of the olive oil obtained from the same olive sam…
Comparison between catalytic and photocatalytic activity in gas-solid regime of semiconductor oxides and carbon nanotubes supported Keggin heteropoly…
2015
Catalytic and photocatalytic 2-propanol dehydration was carried out by using a supported Keggin heteropolyacid H3PW12O40 (PW12). Binary materials were prepared by impregnation and/or solvothermal treatment by using commercial supports: SiO2 (Mallinckrodt), TiO2 (Evonik P25) and multiwall carbon nanotubes (Sunnano) or home solvothermically prepared SiO2 and TiO2. All the materials have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy observations (SEM) coupled with EDX microanalysis, specific surface area measurements, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. (Photo)catalytic 2-propanol dehydration was studied in gas-solid regime by usin…
