The reaction of alkaline earth pentacyanocyclopentadienides with 4,4′-bipyridine in MeOH yielded undefined products composition [M(PCC)2(Bipy)x(MeOH)y(H2O)z] (PCC = [C5(CN)5]−). Recrystallization from MeOH, EtOH, or n-BuOH gave crystals [Mg(H2O)4(4,4′-bipy)2](PCC)2∙2BuOH (1), [Ca(H2O)4(4,4′-bipy)2](PCC)2∙(4,4′-bipy) (2), [Sr(MeOH)8](PCC)2∙3(4,4′-bipy) (3), [Sr2(H2O)4(BuOH)4(PCC)2(µ-PCC)2 (µ-4,4...

This article investigates the associations between the patient-centered care (PCC) and receipt of preventive services among older adults with chronic diseases. Data were derived from the nationally representative Medical Expenditure Panel Survey. The full-year consolidated data files from 2009 to 2013 were pooled to yield a final analytic sample (N = 16 654). Study outcomes included the receipt...

Compared with conventional piles such as the circle pile, the cast-in-place large-diameter pile (PCC pile) has many advantages: the lateral area of PCC pile is larger and the bearing capacity of PCC pile is higher. It is more cost-effective than other piles such as square pile under the same condition. The deformation of the PCC pile is very important for its application. In order to obtain the...

The baseline and longitudinal changes of the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) connectivity were assessed in order to clarify the neural mechanism of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Twenty-eight right-handed subjects (14 MCI patients and 14 healthy elders) participated in this study. Clinical and neuropsychological examinations were performed on all the subjects. PCC functional connectivity was...

PURPOSE The authors sought to describe longitudinal changes in Percentage of Consonants Correct-Revised (PCC-R) after severe pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI), to compare the odds of normal-range PCC-R in children injured at older and younger ages, and to correlate predictor variables and PCC-R outcomes. METHOD In 56 children injured between age 1 month and 11 years, PCC-R was calculated...

We developed a bacterial expression system for the human alpha and beta cDNAs of propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC). These cDNAs (less the putative mitochondrial matrix targeting presequences) were co-expressed in Escherichia coli on one plasmid vector with each cDNA having its own IPTG-inducible promoter. Only negligible amounts of active PCC were measured despite the presence of both alpha and b...
