The biological effects of nitric oxide (NO) are in large part mediated by S-nitrosylation of peptides and proteins to produce bioactive S-nitrosothiols (SNOs).1–3 The observation of abnormal SNO levels in numerous pathophysiological states2 suggests that dysregulation of SNO homeostasis may contribute to disease pathogenesis. For example, the hypotension of human sepsis is accompanied by increa...

Abstract Y 2 Ti 2− x Sn O 7 ( = 0–2) pyrochlore sodium aluminoborosilicate glass–ceramics (GCs) are produced by calcining the pelletized Y–Ti–Sn oxide mixture and glass precursor at 1200 or 1300°C for 4 h. The metal is prepared a soft chemistry route. X‐ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, electron microscopy employed to investigate formation of GCs local crystal structures. Near phase pure Ti‐...

Nitric oxide (NO) is a ubiquitous molecule involved in multiple cellular functions. Inappropriate production of NO may lead to disease states. To date, pharmacologically active compounds that release NO within the body, such as organic nitrates, have been used as therapeutic agents, but their efficacy is significantly limited by unwanted side effects. Therefore, novel NO donors with better phar...

BACKGROUND Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy is one of the most common types of cardiomyopathy. It has been proposed that an increase in oxidative stress in heart failure leads to a decrease in nitric oxide signaling, leading to impaired nitroso-redox signaling. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the occurrence of protein S-nitrosylation (SNO) and oxidation in biopsies from explanted dila...

Activity-induced nitric oxide (NO) imbalance and "nitrosative stress" are proposed mechanisms of disrupted Ca(2+) homeostasis in atrophic skeletal muscle. We thus mapped S-nitrosylated (SNO) functional muscle proteins in healthy male subjects in a long-term bed rest study (BBR2-2 Study) without and with exercise as countermeasure in order to assess (i) the negative effects of chronic muscle dis...

The title compound, [Sn(4)(C(8)H(17))(8)O(2)(C(6)H(5)N(2)O(2))(4)], is a tetra-nuclear Sn(IV) complex, built up by inversion symmetry around the central Sn(2)O(2) ring. The Sn(IV) coordination geometries are distorted SnO(3)C(2) trigonal-bipyramidal and distorted SnO(4)C(2) octa-hedral. The three-coordinate μ(3)-oxido bridging O atom in the Sn(2)O(2) ring is attached to three Sn atoms. All non-...

The title tetra-nuclear Sn(IV) compound, [Sn(4)(C(7)H(6)Cl)(8)Cl(2)O(2)(OH)(2)], has site symmetry . Two O(2-) and two OH(-) anions bridge four Sn(IV) cations to form the tetra-nuclear compound. The two independent Sn(IV) cations assume SnO(3)C(2) and SnO(2)C(2)Cl distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometries. Intra-molecular O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding is present in the structure. One Cl ...

A study was conducted on the transformation of SnO to SnO2 using X-ray diffraction and subjecting the SnO to heat treatments between 300 °C < T < 600 °C in two different atmospheres, argon and air. The intermediary oxide that appears in the disproportionation process was identified as Sn2O3. In an argon atmosphere, decomposition occurs in three stages: (1) a direct transformation of SnO to SnO2...

SnO2 decorated Cu hollow fiber electrodes facilitate reaction kinetics for generating multicarbon oxygenate from gas-phase CO2 electroreduction.

   Mo-doped SnO2 nanoparticles were prepared using hydrothermal method. The average grain size obtained by varying calcinations temperature from 160 to 500 oC showed the different sizes. Prepared materials characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Also the FTIR and the UV–Vis absorptive spectra have been carried out. Mo- doped SnO...
