Heterogeneous catalysis for direct C-H borylation of arenes and heteroarenes in the combination of iridium (Ir) complex fixed on periodic mesoporous organosilica containing bipyridine ligands within the framework (Ir-BPy-PMO) and pinacolborane (HBpin) is reported. Ir-BPy-PMO showed higher catalytic activity toward the borylation of benzene with inexpensive HBpin compared to expensive bis(pinaco...

Redirecting the splicing machinery through the hybridization of high affinity, RNase H- incompetent oligonucleotide analogs such as phosphoramidate morpholino oligonucleotides (PMO) might lead to important clinical applications. Chemical conjugation of PMO to arginine-rich cell penetrating peptides (CPP) such as (R-Ahx-R)(4) (with Ahx standing for 6-aminohexanoic acid) leads to sequence-specifi...

The awareness of osteoporosis has grown worldwide in recent years. This silently progressing metabolic bone disease is widely prevalent in India, and osteoporotic fractures are a common cause of morbidity and mortality in Indian women. Rapid bone loss occurs in postmenopausal women due to hormonal factors which lead to increased risk of fractures. Biochemical markers of bone metabolism are used...

Periodic mesoporous materials of the type (R'O)(3)Si-R-Si(OR')(3) with benzene as an organic bridge and a crystal-like periodicity within the pore walls were functionalized with SO(3)H or SO(3) (-) groups and investigated by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) with in situ nitrogen adsorption at 77 K. If N(2) is adsorbed in the pores the SANS measurements show a complete matching of all of th...

There is a need for a simple method to assess the adequacy of diaphragm activation during voluntary inspiratory efforts in patients with suspected respiratory muscle weakness. We have compared mouth (Pmo,t), oesophageal (Poes,t) and transdiaphragmatic (Pdi,t) twitch pressure elicited by cervical magnetic stimulation (CMS) in five normal men (mean (SD) age 32.2 (1.8) yrs) on two separate study d...

INTRODUCTION The role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in osteoporosis has not yet been clearly established. Vascular endothelial growth factor is an important part of bone formation. In the literature, although the effects of VEGF on bone metabolism were investigated by different studies, there are very rare studies analysing the association between osteoporosis and VEGF. In the pr...

Die kontinuierliche Zunahme von Projekten mit IT-Bezug in Zeiten der digitalen Transformation stellt die Hochschulen vor große organisatorische Herausforderungen. Projektarbeit etabliert sich mehr und mehr als Daueraufgabe in den Servicebereichen einer Hochschule. Sie bindet qualifiziertes Personal und belastet die Linienorganisation. Multiprojektmanagement als Methode kann hier Lösungsperspekt...

The asymmetric unit of the polyoxidometalate-based organic-inorganic hybrid title compound, (C(3)H(10)NO)(3)[PMo(12)O(40)]·3H(2)O, consists of one α-Keggin-type [PMo(12)O(40)](3-) polyoxido-anion, three independent [CH(3)-O-CH(2)-CH(2)-NH(3)](+) cations and three solvent water mol-ecules. The polyoxidoanion shows characteristic features with respect to bond lengths and angles. In the crystal st...

Post-menopausal osteoporosis (PMO) is a major global human health concern. Owing to the need for therapeutic drugs without side effects, natural extracts containing various polyphenolic compounds that may exert estrogenic effects have been studied in depth. Rhus verniciflua Stokes (RVS), which has been used as a traditional herbal medicine for centuries in Korea, was recently revealed to exert ...
