Heat stroke (HS) is characterized by a systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) consisting of profound core temperature (Tc) changes in mice. Encephalopathy is common at HS collapse, but inflammatory changes occurring in the brain during the SIRS remain unidentified. We determined the association between inflammatory gene expression changes in the brain with Tc disturbances during HS reco...

IN THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF THE TITLE COMPOUND [SYSTEMATIC NAME: 2-hy-droxy-2-(4-hy-droxy-benz-yl)butane-dioic acid methanol monosolvate], C(11)H(12)O(6)·CH(3)OH, the dihedral angles between the planes of the carboxyl groups and the benzene ring are 51.23 (9) and 87.97 (9)°. Inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions involving the hy-droxy and carb-oxy-lic acid groups and the methanol...

a simple, fast, efficient and environmentally friendly method for synthesis of benzimidazole and its 2-alkyl, aryl and heteroaryl substituted derivatives was developed using zeolite hy. two component cyclolcondensation of 1,2-phenylenediamine (o-phenylenediamine) and commercially available carboxylic acids catalyzed by zeolite hy without any solvent, under microwave irradiation led to formation...

The planar -CH=CHC(=O)- fragment (r.m.s. deviation = 0.074 Å) in the title compound, C(18)H(18)O(5), connects the planar hy-droxy-dimeth-oxy-phenyl (r.m.s. deviation = 0.039 Å) and meth-oxy-lphenyl (r.m.s. deviation = 0.021 Å) parts. The central fragment forms a dihedral angle of 13.7 (1)° with the hy-droxy-dimeth-oxy-phenyl part and 32.0 (1)° with the meth-oxy-phenyl part. The hy-droxy group f...

It has been demonstrated that carbon nanotubes (CNTs) associated with sodium hyaluronate (HY-CNTs) accelerate bone repair in the tooth sockets of rats. Before clinical application of HY-CNTs, it is important to assess their biocompatibility. Moreover, cardiac toxicity may be caused by the translocation of these particles to the blood stream. The aim of this study was to evaluate possible change...

Microvasculopathies of nephrosclerosis progress with age in contrasting patterns. Arterial intimal fibroplasia (R(r) and R(c), respectively, in small and large interlobular arteries) previously showed close linkages to hypertension and to "nephrosclerosis," defined by fibrous replacement of atrophied nephrons, whereas hyalinization of arterioles (Hy) failed to show consistent linkages. In this ...
