octane/inflammation

Four new phenolic acids, clerodens A-D (1-4) possessing an unusual bicycle [2.2.2] octane moiety were isolated from the whole plants of Clerodendranthus spicatus. Their structures were elucidated by extensive spectroscopic methods, including NMR, MS, and ECD data. All isolates were evaluated for

The Authors describe the synthesis of some 8-acyl-3-methyl-3,8-diazabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes and 3-acyl-8-methyl-3,8-diazabicylo[3.2.1] octanes. The compounds were prepared by acylation of the corresponding methyl derivatives with the purpose of obtaining antiinflammatory compounds. The synthesis of

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and histopathologic findings in five eyes with retained perfluoro-n-octane (PFO) liquid after retinal reattachment surgery. METHODS Retrospective, noncomparative, clinicopathologic case series. METHODS Surgical specimens from five eyes were

OBJECTIVE To describe the clinical and histopathologic characteristics of inflammatory deposits occurring within intermediate duration postoperative perfluoro-n-octane (PFO) for inferior retinal detachment repair. METHODS Prospective interventional case series of consecutive patients with inferior

OBJECTIVE To describe a series of patients with inferior retinal detachments managed with primary 25-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), 2 to 3 weeks of postoperative perfluoro-n-octane (MT-PFO) tamponade, and upright positioning followed by secondary PPV and PFO removal. METHODS Interventional case

OBJECTIVE To evaluate outcomes in patients with complex retinal detachments (RD) with proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) requiring retinectomy using a staged approach utilizing perfluoro-n-octane (PFO) as a short-term postoperative intraocular tamponade. METHODS Retrospective analysis. Patients

The treatment for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) usually involves a combination of anti-inflammatory and bronchodilatory drugs. We recently found that mepenzolate bromide (1) and its derivative, 3-(2-hydroxy-2,

Paw oedema in the rat by carrageenin and kaolin partially caused by Hageman factor activation was potentiated by the new angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor 2-[N-[(S)-1-ethoxycarbonyl-3-phenylpropyl-L-alanyl]-(lS,3S,5S)-2- azabicyclo[3.3.0]octane-3-carboxylic acid] (ramipril, Hoe 498) due

The photophysical properties of Piroxicam, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), were investigated at different pHext values in reversed micelles of Aerosol-OT (AOT) in iso-octane, using both steady-state and picosecond time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. In contrast with the very

The MEEKC separation and on-line preconcentration of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) were investigated. In this work, two microemulsion (ME) systems were employed. Complete separation could be achieved at a pH of 5.5 with octane as the oil phase (ME I). The LODs for the determination

OBJECTIVE To describe the spectral domain optical coherence tomography characteristics of retained subretinal perfluoro-n-octane (SR-PFO) after vitreoretinal surgery. METHODS Consecutive patients referred for retained SR-PFO after pars plana vitrectomy for retinal detachment were prospectively

We examined the mechanism of the inflammatory response induced by topical application of mustard oil (0.5-20.0%/20 microliters per ear) to the mouse ear compared to that of the response to capsaicin. The dose-dependent increases in plasma extravasation and ear thickness reached a maximum at

The fungal pathogen Candida albicans causes a variety of oral infections, including denture stomatitis, which is characterized by inflammation of the oral mucosa in direct contact with dentures and affects a significant number of otherwise healthy denture wearers. While antifungal treatment reduces

The airways of the genetically hypertensive rat (GH) are hyperinnervated by substance P-containing sensory nerves and exhibit reduced inflammatory responsiveness to substance P and to capsaicin. The present study measured tracheal inflammation to resiniferatoxin (1.0 microgram/kg i.v.), a capsaicin

Highly diastereoselective synthesis of chromeno β-lactam hybrids was achieved by an efficient one-pot three-component reaction. With this procedure, the desired β-lactam products were obtained in good yields and with exclusive cis stereoselection, by combining a variety of benzaldehydes,
