The past decade has seen an increasing number of extensive studies devoted to the exploitation of ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC) materials in electrochemistry, notably in the fields of energy and sensing. The present review summarizes the recent achievements made in field of electroanalysis using electrodes modified with such nanomaterials. On the basis of comprehensive tables, the interest in...

Objective: Although many studies in medical literature are comparing percutaneous trans-septal mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) and open mitral commissurotomy (OMC), very few long-term comparative follow-ups are available. Methods: Between January 1991 and December 1997, 193 patients with isolated mitral stenosis were assigned either to PTMC (111 cases) or to OMC (82 cases). PTMC was performed in a...

Objective To determine and compare the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) and moisturizing effects of the liposomal and conventional lotion formulations containing octyl methoxycinnamte (OMC) as a sunscreen by in vivo methods. Materials and Methods The multilamellar liposomes (MLVs) containing OMC were prepared by fusion method and o/w emulsion was prepared as FDA standard sunscreen method. The SPF...

This deliverable presents an evaluation of the OpenKnowldge (OK) ontology matching component (OMC). Specifically, we discuss: (i) an evaluation dataset that we have automatically built in order to measure quality and efficiency indicators of OMC, and (ii) the evaluation results of OMC on the dataset constructed.

ABSTRACT The clusters Ti5O(OiPr)11(OMc)(O3PR)3 (OMc = methacrylate; R = Et, CH2CH2CH2Br) and Ti10(OiPr)16(OMc)4(O3PCH2CH=CH2)10 were obtained when Ti(OiPr)4 was reacted with the corresponding bis(trimethylsilyl) phosphonate and methacrylic acid. Oxo clusters of the composition Ti6O4(OiPr)10(OMc)2(O3PR)2, with a variety of groups R (Et, Ph, CH=CH2, CH2Ph, CH2CH=CH2, CH2CH2CH2Br, CH2CH2CN, CH2C(O...

BACKGROUND Treatment for claudication that is due to aortoiliac peripheral artery disease (PAD) often relies on stent revascularization (ST). However, supervised exercise (SE) is known to provide comparable short-term (6-month) improvements in functional status and quality of life. Longer-term outcomes are not known. OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to report the longer-term (18-month) e...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous balloon mitral commissurotomy (BMC) has been proposed as an alternative to surgical closed mitral commissurotomy (CMC) and open mitral commissurotomy (OMC) for the management of rheumatic mitral valve stenosis (MS). METHODS AND RESULTS We conducted a prospective, randomized trial comparing the results of the 3 procedures in 90 patients (30 patients in each group) with ...

Reaction of [Ti4Zr4O6(OBu)4(OMc)16] (OMc = methacrylate) with acetylacetone (acacH) resulted in dissection of the cluster and formation of [Ti(OBu)2(acac)2] and the smaller cluster [Ti2Zr4O4(OMc)16]. In contrast, the same reaction with [Zr6O4(OH)4(OOCR)12]2·6RCOOH (R = Et, CH2CH=CH2) led to site-selective substitution of two carboxylate ligands and formation of isostructural [Zr6O4(OH)4(OOCR)12...

Octyl methoxycinnamate (OMC) is one of the most widely used sunscreen ingredients. To analyze biological effects of OMC, an in vitro approach was used implying ultraviolet (UV) exposure of two human cell lines, a primary skin fibroblast (GM00498) and a breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines. End points include cell viability assessment, assay of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers (CPDs) and oxidated DNA l...

This work reports on a novel nonenzymatic amperometric glucose sensor based on the ordered mesoporous carbon (OMC). Amperometric method was used to evaluate the electrocatalytic activity of the OMC modified electrode toward nonenzymatic glucose in alkaline media in presence and absence of chloride ions. The results indicated that OMC showed electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of glucose...
