BACKGROUND This study sought to assess symphyseal morphology in adolescents with different mandibular growth patterns (MGPs) in order to see if a relation exists. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study the symphyseal parameters (height, depth, and ratio) of normal subjects were compared with four groups with malocclusion (cl III vertical, cl II vertical, cl III horizontal, and cl II horizontal)....

Monocationic gold(III) complexes with histidine-containing peptides, glycyl-L-histidine (Gly-L-His) and L-alanyl-L-histidine (L-Ala-L-His) have been synthesized and characterized by (1)H NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. The crystallized Au(III) complexes, [Au(Gly-L-His-N,N',N'')Cl]NO(3)·1.25H(2)O and [Au(L-Ala-L-His-N,N',N'')Cl]NO(3)·2.5H(2)O, were obtained from water solution at pH ...

INTRODUCTION Development of novel metallodrugs with enhanced anti-proliferative potential and reduced toxicity has become the prime focus of the evolving medicinal chemistry. In this regards, gold (III) complexes with various ligands are being extensively investigated. In the current study renal and hepatic toxicity of a newly developed gold (III) compound [Au(en)Cl(2)]Cl was assessed by histop...

We previously demonstrated that vascular smooth muscle cells possess a prominent Na+-K+-Cl- cotransport system that can be markedly stimulated by elevations in levels of intracellular cyclic guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP). Since others have shown that atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) can bind to specific membrane receptors and can enhance cGMP levels in vascular smooth muscle cells, we ask...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, {(C(5)H(14)N(2))[BiCl(5)]}(n), the Bi(III) cation is coordinated by six Cl(-) anions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Two Cl(-) anions bridge neighboring Bi(III) cations, forming a zigzag polymeric chain along the a axis. The discrete methylpiperazinediium cation adopts a normal chair conformation and is linked to the polymeric chains by N-H⋯C...

The title mol-ecule, [Fe(C(36)H(44)N(4))Cl]·1.5CH(2)Cl(2), is a high-spin square-pyramidal iron(III) porphyrinate with an average value for the equatorial Fe-N bond lengths of 2.065 (3) Å and an axial Fe-Cl distance of 2.2430 (13) Å. The iron cation is displaced by 0.518 (1) Å from the 24-atom mean plane of the porphyrin ring. These values are typical for high-spin iron(III) porphyrinates.

In the title complex, [Co(C(15)H(12)N(3)O(4))(2)Cl(C(6)H(7)N)], the Co(III) ion is coordinated by two N atoms and two O atoms from two deprotonated Schiff base ligands, one N atom from a 4-methyl-pyridine ligand and one Cl atom, forming a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The Co(III) ion is displaced by 0.038 (2) Å from the equatorial plane towards the axial Cl atom.
