Voltage-gated K(+) channels of the Kv7 family underlie the neuronal M current that regulates action potential firing. Suppression of M current increases excitability and its enhancement can silence neurons. We here show that three of five Kv7 channels undergo strong enhancement of their activity by oxidative modification induced by physiological concentrations of hydrogen peroxide. A triple cys...

We determined the geometries and chemical bonding phenomena of the B27 system in its dicationic, cationic, neutral, anionic and dianionic states using DFT computations. In both cationic and neutral states, the triple ring tubular forms correspond to the lowest-energy isomers, especially in B27(+). The cation B27(+) represents the first stable hollow cylinder having a triple ring among the pure ...

The cleavage of carbon dioxide by the tungsten alkylidyne [CF3-ONO]W[triple bond, length as m-dash]CCtBu(THF)2 (1) {where CF3-ONO = (MeC6H3[C-(CF3)2O])2N3-}, is reported. Splitting of CO2 yields the tungsten oxo ketene complex [CF3-ONO]W(O){(CH3)3CC[double bond, length as m-dash]C[double bond, length as m-dash]O} (6). The proposed pathway occurs through initial cycloaddition of W[triple bond, l...

Purpose: A theory states that strong core stability allows athletes to fully transfer forces from the upper extremities to lower extremities, and finally to the ground. On the contrary, weak core stability causes alterations in transferring forces, reduces sport performance, and increases risk for injury, especially in the lower extremities. Therefore, the current study investigated the relatio...

The objective of this prespecified TRINITY study subgroup analysis was to assess the efficacy and safety of triple-combination treatment with olmesartan medoxomil (OM) 40 mg, amlodipine besylate (AML) 10 mg, and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) 25 mg vs the component dual-combination treatments in obese (body mass index [BMI] ≥30 kg/m(2) ) and nonobese (BMI <30 kg/m(2) ) hypertensive participants. Th...

Understanding anion adsorption mechanisms is necessary to allow prediction of anion adsorption behavior. This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of the triple layer model, a chemical surface complexation model, to describe the effect of changes in solution ionic strength (0.01-1.0 M NaCl) and solution pH (3-11) on B adsorption by the iron oxide, goethite, the aluminum oxide, gibbsite, ...

The synthesis of the cationic gold(i) complexes [Au(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CC5H4N)(CH3-PTA)]X (X = I, 1; X = OTf, 4), [Au(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CC5H4N-CH3)(PTA)]X (X = I, 2; X = OTf = 5; PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphatricyclo[3.3.1.13.7]decane) and [Au(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CC5H4N-CH3)(DAPTA)]X (X = I, 3; X = OTf = 6, DAPTA = 3,7-diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo...

Any simple Lie superalgebras over the complex field can be constructed from some triple systems. Examples of Lie superalgebras D(2, 1; α), G(3) and F(4) are given by utilizing a general construction method based upon (−1, −1) balanced Freudenthal-Kantor triple system. The triple products are perhaps a little unfamiliar in physics, although it has been utilized to find some solutions of Yang-Bax...

The two-dimensional (2D) surface-directed self-assembly of dibenzonitrile diacetylene (DBDA) on Ag(111) under ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) conditions was investigated by combining scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and theoretical simulations based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The molecule consists of two benzonitrile groups (-C6H4-C[triple...

background and aim: bacterial elimination from root canal system is one of the aims in endodontic treatments, so the addition of antibiotics to sealers can increase their antimicrobial efficacy, as in this study we are determining the in-vitro antimicrobial effect of ah26 and ah plus sealers mixed with amoxicillin, triple antibiotic pastes and nanosilver on enterococcus faecalis. materials and ...
