Zn-containing show higher antibacterial compared to those pristine due synergistic attributes both cations...
Gram-negative bacteria, containing toxic proinflammatory and pyrogenic substances [endotoxin or lipopolysaccharide (LPS)], can lead to infection associated serious diseases, such as sepsis septic shock. Development of antimicrobial materials with intrinsically endotoxin adsorption activity prevent the release bacterial components while killing bacteria. Herein, a series imidazolium-type polyurethane (PU) foams properties were synthesized. The content effects cationic moieties on activities...
Abstract Resistant bacteria have become a global threat. Even if are killed, their carried drug‐resistant genes can remain in the environment and spread to other microbes via horizontal gene transfer. Development of antimicrobial materials with intrinsic break down activity prevent dissemination released from dead bacteria. Herein, imidazolium type poly(ionic liquid) (PIL)/cerium (IV) ion‐based electrospun nanofibrous membranes (PIL‐Ce) synthesized. The effects PIL Ce moieties on properties...
Imidazolium-type metal-containing ionic liquid (IL) monomers and their corresponding poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) membranes coordinated with CuCl2 (PILM-Cu), FeCl3 (PILM-Fe), or ZnCl2 (PILM-Zn) were synthesized. The effect of metal ions on the antimicrobial activities against both Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) Escherichia coli (E. coli) was investigated. Compared pristine PILM-Br membrane, PILM-Cu, PILM-Fe, PILM-Zn exhibit enhanced antibacterial due to attributes imidazolium cations anions....
Fluorescent imidazolium-type poly(ionic liquid)s (PIL)s were synthesized by anion exchange of bromide (Br-) in poly(3-butyl-1-vinylimidazolium bromide) (PIL-Br) with a fluorescent anion, namely, 3-(4-(1,2,2-triphenylvinyl)phenoxy)propane-1-sulfonate (TPESO3-). Such an provided antibacterial PILs aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties that simultaneously kill and image bacteria. These fluorescence could be regulated controlling the Br-/TPESO3- ratio. The intensity increases as this...
Progression of critically ill patients from Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS) to Multiple Organ Dysfunction (MODS) accounts for more than 75% deaths in adult surgical intensive care units. Currently, there is no practical clinical technique predict the progression SIRS or MODS. In this report, we describe an NMR-based metabonomic method aid detection these conditions based on abnormal metabolic signatures. We applied pattern recognition methods analyze one-dimensional (1)H NMR...
Abstract Jumonji C‐terminal (JmjC) domain‐containing proteins are protein hydroxylases and histone demethylases that control gene expression. 6 (Jmjd6) is indispensable for embryonic development has both arginine demethylase lysyl‐hydroxylase activities.
