benzyl alcohol/atrophy

Benzyl alcohol preservative in intravascular flush solutions has been reported to cause neurologic deterioration and death in very low birth weight infants. Following the widespread discontinuation of the use of such solutions in newborns, scattered reports of decreased mortality and decreased

The rotational spectra of benzyl alcohol and of its OD isotopologue have been assigned and measured in a supersonic expansion, either with pulsed-jet Fourier transform microwave or free jet absorption millimeter wave spectroscopy. The spectrum is consistent with a gauche conformation of the oxygen

An earlier computational study (CASPT2/pVDZ) by Winter et al. predicts the 3,5-bis(dimethylamino)benzyl cation to have nearly degenerate singlet and triplet states. Through product studies it is demonstrated that photolysis of 3,5-bis(dimethylamino)benzyl alcohol and its corresponding acetate and

OBJECTIVE Female patients show better recovery after brain injury and lower incidence of vascular diseases before menopause. The aim of this study was to test the protective effect of female sexual hormones against photostress-induced photoreceptor apoptosis. METHODS Five week old male albino

Pseudomonas fluorescens, a Gram-negative psychrotrophic bacteria, is the main microorganism causing spoilage of chilled raw milk and aquatic products. Quorum sensing (QS) widely exists in bacteria to monitor their population densities and regulate numerous physiological activities, such as the

Dillenia suffruticosa L. (Dilleniaceae) is used in traditional medicine for protection against various diseases. The current study was designed to investigate the bioactive compounds and hepatoprotective potential of methanol leaves extract of D. suffruticosa against carbon tetrachloride

Previous investigations have indicated a role for hydrogen tunneling in the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase catalyzed oxidation of benzyl alcohol [Cha, Y., Murray, C. J., & Klinman, J. P. (1989) Science 243, 1325] and the bovine plasma amine oxidase catalyzed oxidation of benzylamine [Grant, K.L., &

[Ac-D2Nal1,4Cl-DPhe2,D3Pal3,Arg5,DGlu6+ ++ (anisole adduct),DAla10]-GnRH (Nal-Glu) is an antagonist of LHRH and has the potential to be utilized as an antigonadal agent. A study was undertaken to evaluate the toxicological effects of Nal-Glu in rats. Nal-Glu, dissolved in 5% mannitol in water

The intrinsic drawback of slow crystallization rate of poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) inevitably deteriorates its final properties of the molded articles. In this work, we proposed a new strategy towards poly(l-lactide) with enhanced crystallization rate by ring opening polymerization (ROP) of l-lactide

The rotational spectrum of benzyl mercaptan (parent and four isotopologues) has been assigned in a supersonic jet expansion using chirped-pulse Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. The spectrum is characterized by torsional tunneling doublings, strongly perturbed by Coriolis interactions. The

l-Epinephrine, an endogenous neurotransmitter hormone, is widely used for the treatment of allergic and respiratory disorders. NTP Toxicology and Carcinogenesis studies of epinephrine hydrochloride were conducted by exposing groups of F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice of each sex to an aerosol containing

We are proposing folate-decorated polymeric nanoparticles as carriers of poorly soluble drug molecules for intracellular and prolonged delivery to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. RPE is a monolayer of epithelial cells that forms the outer blood-retinal barrier in the posterior segment of the

Oxotrimesityliridium(V), (mes)3Ir=O (mes = 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl), and trimesityliridium(III), (mes)3Ir, undergo extremely rapid degenerate intermetal oxygen atom transfer at room temperature. At low temperatures, the two complexes conproportionate to form (mes)3Ir-O-Ir(mes)3, the 2,6-dimethylphenyl
