BACKGROUND The effects of ezetimibe on cholesterol metabolism in HIV-infected patients receiving boosted protease inhibitors have not been thoroughly assessed. The aim of this study was to assess cholesterol homeostasis in patients with PI associated dyslipidemia and its relationship with the response to treatment with the cholesterol-absorption inhibitor ezetimibe. METHODS Fifteen patients w...

The absorption of nitrous oxide (N2O) during unidirectional flow was compared with the rate of uptake of nitric oxide (NO). At flow rates of 10, 20, and 60 ml/min from one nostril to the other, with the soft palate closed, the N2O reached a steady-state rate of absorption in 5-15 min. The mean superficial capillary blood flow (n = 5) calculated from solubility and the steady-state rate of N2O a...

Tin is a suitable element for inclusion in extreme ultraviolet photoresists because of its relatively high-absorption cross section at 92 eV. The electrons emitted after photon absorption are expected to generate secondary the solid film. In this way, several pathways lead reactive species that cause solubility switch. Here, we report photoelectron spectra tin oxo cage over energy range 60–150 ...

Preforming processes can be used for automated manufacturing of fiber reinforced polymers. Different technologies are processing dry textile fabrics into 2D or 3D preforms. Due to missing tack fabrics, auxiliary binder systems fixation the onto a substrate material and in order achieve sufficient adhesion between layers. In this study, seven reactive non-reactive tackifying agents have been dis...

The complex network of chemical reactions of the compound 6-hydroxyflavylium perchlorate was studied by different techniques including UV-vis absorption spectrophotometry, stopped-flow, electrochemistry, and photochemistry. The network is characterized by the formation of a very reactive zwitterionic base as well as by p-quinoidal chalcones. The trans-chalcone is metastable in very acidic solut...

Using an alternating reactive ion &am sputtering technique, Co ion was doped in epitaxially growing Bi3Fe5Ol, garnet film. The intense enhancement of magnetization, coercivity, and optical absorption at 633nm was observed. The Faraday hysteresis loop for slightly Cwdoped film showed anomalous behavior. Those phenomena can be understood considering the composite film structure in which fine part...

Photolysis of methylcobalamin (Co”‘corrin(CH,)L + Hz0 + Oz + Co”‘(H,O)L + H,CO + OH-) shows a pronounced wavelength dependence. It is suggested that the reactive excited state is of the ligand-to-ligand charge transfer (LLCT) type and involves the promotion of an electron from the Co-C u-bond to a r*(corrin) orbital. This LLCT transition mixes with the 7;z-*(corrin) transitions. Owing to this L...

The sera from A.SW/SnJ mice infected with Coxsackievirus B3 (CB3) were tested on normal mouse tissue by indirect immunofluorescence. Heart-reactive antibodies were found. Absorption studies with organ extracts showed some of these autoantibodies to be heart-specific. Additional antibodies were crossreactive with skeletal muscle and kidney. These findings suggest a role for autoimmunity in the p...

 Vinyl chloride is readily and rapidly absorbed via inhalation, ingestion and through the skin  At room temperature vinyl chloride is a gas, so inhalation is the major route exposure  Following absorption, it is distributed through the body, with the highest concentrations found in the liver and kidneys, followed by the lungs and spleen  Vinyl chloride is mainly metabolised in the liver int...

One of the most reactive and dangerous agents for the living cells is reactive oxygen free radical species (ROS). When there is an imbalance between ROS generating and scavenging systems (oxidative stress), tissue damages will appear in human body such as degenerative disorders of CNS like Alzheimer's disease. Recently, a high interest in medicinal plants containing antioxidants has been increa...
