Dimethylformamide (DMF) is widely used as a drug solvent. We found DMF to have wide-spread pharmacological effects including depressant effect on CNS evidenced by a decrease in locomotor activity, body and limb tone and rectal temperature, and potentiation of pentobarbitone sleep. A dose-dependent hypotensive effect was seen in cats and rats. In rats, it was partially blocked by atropine and wa...

Digital Microfluidics (DMF) has emerged as a disruptive methodology for the control and manipulation of low volume droplets. In DMF, each droplet acts as a single reactor, which allows for extensive multiparallelization of biological and chemical reactions at a much smaller scale. DMF devices open entirely new and promising pathways for multiplex analysis and reaction occurring in a miniaturize...

Caries ferr is  an epidemiologic index for prevalence of dental caries in a society and it means that persons who do not have any dental caries,in other words,that equal to DMF=0.to determine the prevalence of caries ferr in 12 year-old student in Guidance school in sirjan city,this study was carried out with the method of WHO index in 1996.on the bases of a pilot study the of sample size was d...

Surface ligands play critical roles in determining the surface properties of metal clusters. However, modulating and controlling structure clusters through surface-capping-agent displacement is challenging. Herein, [Ag14(SPh(CF3)2)12(PPh3)4(DMF)4] (Ag14-DMF; DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide), with weakly coordinated DMF on silver sites, was synthesized by a mixed-ligands strategy. Owing to high reacti...

The unimolecular decomposition of 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF), a promising next-generation biofuel, was studied at the CBS-QB3 level of theory. As most of its decomposition routes remain unknown, a large number of pathways were explored: initial C-H bond fission, biradical ring opening, H-atom and CH(3)-group transfers involving carbene intermediates. Based on the computed potential energy surfaces...

A digital microfluidic (DMF) device was applied to a heterogeneous sandwich immunoassay. The digital approach to microfluidics manipulates samples and reagents in the form of discrete droplets, as opposed to the streams of fluid used in microchannels. Since droplets are manipulated on relatively generic 2-D arrays of electrodes, DMF devices are straightforward to use, and are reconfigurable for...

This epidemiological survey was conducted to find features of degenerative diseases associated with loss of teeth in the elderly. One hundred sixty-seven elderly (> or = 60 years old) people from local government health centers in East Jakarta, Indonesia were included in the study. The degenerative diseases (DM, hypertension, heart disease) were determined by physical examination, laboratory te...

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is indicated for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis and may exert therapeutic effects via activation of the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2) pathway. Following oral DMF administration, central nervous system (CNS) tissue is predominantly exposed to monomethyl fumarate (MMF), the bioactive metabolite of DMF, which can stabilize NRF2 and induce...

Chalcogenolate clusters can be interlinked with organic linkers into semiconducting coordination polymers with photocatalytic properties. Here, discrete clusters of Cd8S(SPh)14(DMF)3 were interlinked with 4,4'-bipyridine into a one dimensional coordination polymer of [Cd8S(SPh)14(DMF)(bpy)]n with helical chains. A stepwise mechanism for the assembly of the coordination polymer in DMF was reveal...

ed by the ether oxygen of oxanorbornene and dehydration can occur along the pathway illustrated in Figure 7.10. Figure 7.10 Proton transfer from adsorbed DMF to the cycloadduct. At the same time, proton transfer of the acidic H of the adsorbed DMF complex to p-xylene is neither energetically favorable (∆G = +27.6 kcal/mol) and has a significant energy barrier (Ea = +26.6 kcal/mol). Once the pro...
