a facile and efficient method for the preparation of 1, 1-diacetates of aldehydes is improved.p2o5/sio2 catalyzed 1, 1-diacetates formation from aldehydes in dry media. advantages of this methodare the use of an inexpensive and selective catalyst with high yields in simple operation and shortreaction time under solvent-free conditions.

two simple visible spectrophotometric methods are developed and validated for the quantification of modafinil using 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonic acid (nqs method) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (dnp method) as analytical reagents. the nqs method involves the reaction of modafinil with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonate in alkaline medium at room conditions to form a yellow colored product exhibiting maxi...

background :cytotoxic t lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 (ctla-4) is an important negative regulator of t-cell responses. the -1722tc polymorphism of the ctla-4 gene may be associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (sle) risk, but related results from previous studies have been inconsistent. we carried out a meta-analysis to assess this association more precisely.   methods : a systematic sea...

abstractparkinson’s disease (pd) is a neuropathological and debilitating disorder involving the degeneration of mesencephalic dopaminergic neurons. neuroprotective effect of hesperetin has already been reported, therefore, this study examined whether the administration of this flavonoid would attenuate behavioral abnormalities in an experimental model of pd in rat. for this purpose, unilateral ...

the present paper is concerned with the structural characteristics and contents of the russian resistance poets from the outset up to the end of the world war ii, 1941-1945. regarding the linguistic and literary structures of the resistance poetry of this period, such features as changes in the lexical structure of poems, outspokenness, proximity of poetry to slogans can be easily observed. sem...

Let P1, . . . , Pk be k vertex disjoint paths in a graph G where the ends of Pi are xi, and yi. Let H be the subgraph induced by the vertex sets of the paths. We find edge bounds E1(n), E2(n) such that, 1. If e(H) ≥ E1(|V (H)|), then there exist disjoint paths P ′ 1, . . . , P ′ k where the ends of P ′ i are xi and yi such that | S

glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (g6pd) is a greatly polymorphic enzyme encoded by human x-linked gene. g6pd deficit is the most public enzymopathy in human with about 400 million people affected globally. it is the main controlling enzyme in the hexose monophosphate shunt catalase the oxidation of glucose-6-phosphate  to 6-phosphogluconolacton and the creation of reducing equals in the form o...

background: herpes simplex virus (hsv) type 1 and 2 are common infectious agents worldwide. data on prevalence of hsv-1 and hsv-2 infection are limited in asia, especially in iran. the aim of this study was to determine the seroprevalence of hsv type 1 and 2 based on age, gender, marital status, education, living area, job, symptoms and history of disease variables. methods: the study populatio...
