Cadmium (Cd) causes renal dysfunction with damage to kidney proximal tubule cells; however, the precise mechanisms of toxicity remain unclear. Previously, we found that expression Ube2d4 gene, which is a member ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme Ube2d family, suppressed by Cd in NRK-52E rat tubular epithelial cells. To investigate Cd-induced toxicity, examined effects on ubiquitin-proteasome system, particularly and function family members cells mice. markedly decreased Ube2d1, Ube2d2, Ube2d3...
Database obtained earlier in 3D Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of statistically stationary, 1D, planar turbulent flames characterized by three different density ratios σ is processed order to investigate vorticity transformation premixed combustion under conditions moderately weak turbulence (rms velocity and laminar flame speed are roughly equal one another). In cases H M = 7.53 5.0, respectively, anisotropic generation within the brush reported. study physical mechanisms that control...
Luminescent dinuclear Cu(I) complexes, [Cu2X2(dpypp)2] [Cu-X; X = Cl, Br, I; dpypp 2,2′-(phenylphosphinediyl)dipyridine], were successfully synthesized by a solvent-assisted mechanochemical method. A trace amount of the assisting solvent plays key role in synthesis; only two solvents possessing nitrile group, CH3CN and PhCN, effective for promoting formation Cu-X. X-ray analysis revealed that structure with no Cu···Cu interactions, bridged ligands, was commonly formed all Cu-X species. These...
In an attempt to define the role of pineal secretory melatonin and analogue, 6‐hydroxymelatonin (6‐OHM), in limiting oxidative stress, present study investigated cisplatin (CP)‐induced alteration renal antioxidant system nephroprotection with two indolamines. Melatonin (5 mg/kg), 6‐OHM or equal volume saline were administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) male Sprague–Dawley rats 30 min prior i.p. injection CP (7 mg/kg). After treatment, animals each received indolamine every day sacrificed 3 5...
Fenugreek seed ( Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) is used as an herbal medicine for treating metabolic and nutritive dysfunctions. To determine if this plant has other beneficial effects, we tested the inhibitory activities of a methanol (MeOH) extract fenugreek on production inflammatory cytokines melanin synthesis in cultured cell lines vitro. The MeOH inhibited phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate-induced such tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α THP-1 cells, also restrained intracellular murine...
Peanut skin (Arachis hypogaea L., Fabaceae) is an abundant source for polyphenols, such as proanthocyanidin oligomers. To determine whether has beneficial effects on skin, we tested inhibitory activity of proanthocyanidins isolated from peanut inflammatory cytokine production and melanin synthesis in cultured cell lines. Administration extract (PSE, 200 µg/mL) decreased melanogenesis human melanoma HMV-II co-stimulated with phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate. It also cytokines (PSE at 100...
Exposure to nanoparticles during pregnancy is a public concern, because may pass from the mother fetus across placenta. The purpose of this study was determine possible translocation pathway gold maternal-fetal barrier as well toxicity intravenously administered placenta and fetus. Pregnant ICR mice were injected with 0.01% 20- 50-nm nanoparticle solutions on 16th 17th days gestation. There no sign toxic damage placentas maternal fetal organs treated nanoparticles. ICP-MS analysis...
We have synthesized two luminescent mononuclear Cu(I) complexes, [Cu(PPh2Tol)(THF)(4Mepy)2](BF4) (1) and [Cu(PPh2Tol)(4Mepy)3](BF4) (2) (PPh2Tol = diphenyl(o-tolyl)phosphine, 4Mepy 4-methylpyridine, THF tetrahydrofuran), investigated their crystal structures, luminescence properties, vapor-induced ligand exchange reactions in the solid state. Both coordination complexes are tetrahedral, but one of three ligands complex 2 is replaced by a solvent molecule 1. In contrast to very weak blue...
Abstract The ultimate goal of periodontal disease treatment is the reorganization functional tissue that can regenerate lost tissue. Regeneration tissues clinically possible by using autogenic transplantation MSCs. However, autologous MSC limited depending on age, systemic and quality, thus precluding their clinical application. Therefore, we evaluated efficacy allogeneic adipose-derived multi-lineage progenitor cells (ADMPC) in a micro-mini pig defect model. ADMPC were isolated from greater...
