coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death and disability in adults. the association between acute coronary syndrom (acs) and elevated serum high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hscrp) suggests that chronic inflammation of the coronary arterial wall may play an important role. a number of drugs used in the treatment of cardiovascular disease reduce serum crp. it* is therefore possible...

Absolute radical yields, as determined by flash spectroscopy, are reported for the reaction of the thionine triplet 3TH+ and its protonated form 3TH2++ with a variety of electron donors in methanolic solution. The different yields, extrapolated to infinite donor concentrations, are due to partial physical quenching of the triplets in the electron transfer reaction. The results are indicative of...

Homotopy categorical groups of any pointed space are defined via the fundamental groupoid of iterated loop spaces. This notion allows, paralleling the group case, to introduce the notion of K-categorical groups KiR of any ring R. We also show the existence of a fundamental categorical crossed module associated to any fibre homotopy sequence and then, K1R and K2R are characterized, respectively,...
