Choline can be covalently grafted on glassy carbon electrodes using cyclic voltammetric method, forming a stable cationic monolayer-modified electrode (Ch/GCE). Keggin-type molybdophosphate anions, alpha-PMo(12)O(40)(3-), then were self-assembled on the Ch/GCE through electrostatic interactions for fabrication of an electrochemical sensor, which is denoted as alpha-PMo(12)/Ch/GCE. This two-laye...

Denosumab (AMG 162) is an investigational fully human monoclonal antibody with a high affinity and specificity for receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL), a cytokine member of the tumor necrosis factor family. RANKL, the principal mediator of osteoclastic bone resorption, plays a major role in the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis and other skeletal disorders assoc...

Background: Janus Kinases (JAK) are tirosin-kinases that can promote cytokine production in immune and hematopoietic cells. The JAK-2 (V617F) mutation is the most frequently detected myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) which include essential thrombocythemia (ET), polycythemia vera (PV), primary myelofibrosis (PMF) undifferenciated MPN. displays a pro-inflammatory phenotype may be associated to ...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Mn(C(8)H(7)N(3))(3)](2)[PMo(12)O(40)]·6H(2)O, consists of a complex [Mn(C(8)H(7)N(3))(3)](2+) cation, half of a mixed-valent Mo(V,VI) α-Keggin-type [PMo(12)O(40)](4-) heteropolyanion, and three uncoordinated water mol-ecules. The Mn(2+) cation is surrounded by six N atoms from three chelating 3-(2-pyrid-yl)-1H-pyrazole ligands in a distorted octa-hedr...

IR and NMR spectroscopy were used to determine the silanol content in the most common mesoporous ordered silicas: MCM-41, MCM-48, SBA-15 and SBA-16. In addition, a spray dried MCM-41 and an ethene bridged PMO are investigated. The results are compared with a commercial chromatographic silica (Nucleosil). The complete distribution of surface and bulk silanols, and of isolated, geminal and vicina...

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is a common, inherited, incurable, fatal muscle wasting disease caused by deletions that disrupt the reading frame of the DMD gene such that no functional dystrophin protein is produced. Antisense oligonucleotide (AO)-directed exon skipping restores the reading frame of the DMD gene, and truncated, yet functional dystrophin protein is expressed. The aim of this...

The advantages of project management have been well documented, but project failure rates still remain high. This suggests continued exploration of new process models and organization structures to nurture strong project performance. One important candidate for improvement in this ongoing journey is the project management office (PMO). This paper is based on a two-year empirical study that inve...

Efficient catalysts for selective oxidation of C–H bonds using atmospheric oxygen are highly desirable to decrease the economic and environmental costs associated with conventional oxidation processes. We have used methods of directed evolution to generate variants of bacterial cytochrome P450 BM3 that catalyze hydroxylation and epoxidation of a wide range of nonnative substrates. This fatty ac...

Background: Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) have an increased risk of infections due to the disease itself, and/or immunosuppressive therapy. Risk COVID-19 infection in different rheumatic IMID (R-IMID) remains controversial. Objectives: To assess epidemiology and comorbidities R-IMID from a Single-University hospital. Methods: Cross-sectional study We included all consecutive pati...
