Silver Nanoparticles Loaded With Oleuropein Alleviates LPS-Induced Acute Lung Injury by Modulating the TLR4/P2X7 Receptor-Mediated Inflammation and Apoptosis in Rats.

Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR-4) ligands were initially shown to be the source of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a gram-negative bacterium's cell wall immunostimulatory component. Oxidative stress, apoptosis, and inflammation are all potential effects of LPS treatment on the lungs. By triggering oxidative stress and inflammation, these negative effects could be avoided.

Distributions and expressions of Aquaporin-5 and 7 in the testes of developing male chicks.

Aquaporins (AQPs) are integral membrane proteins that act as water channels for which a total of 13 orthologs of AQP genes in birds have been reported. Tissue expression and cellular or subcellular localization of AQPs have been poorly investigated in the male reproductive system of birds. We aimed to determine the distribution and localization of AQP5 and AQP7 proteins by immunocytochemistry in testicular tissues obtained from developing chicks (14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days old).

Structural and spectroscopic characterization of a new luminescent Ni complex: bis{2,4-dichloro-6-[(2-hydroxypropyl)iminomethyl]phenolato-κO,N,O'}nickel(II).

The design and preparation of transition-metal complexes with Schiff base ligands are of interest due to their potential applications in the fields of molecular magnetism, nonlinear optics, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), sensing and photoluminescence. Luminescent metal complexes have been suggested as potential phosphors in electroluminescent devices. A new luminescent nickel(II) complex, [Ni(CHClNO)], has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and elemental analysis, UV-Vis, FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR and photoluminescence spectroscopies, and LC-MS/MS.

Crystal structure and photoluminescence properties of a new monomeric copper(II) complex: bis(3-{[(3-hydroxypropyl)imino]methyl}-4-nitrophenolato-κO,N,O')copper(II).

Copper(II)-Schiff base complexes have attracted extensive interest due to their structural, electronic, magnetic and luminescence properties. The title novel monomeric Cu complex, [Cu(CHNO)], has been synthesized by the reaction of 3-{[(3-hydroxypropyl)imino]methyl}-4-nitrophenol (HL) and copper(II) acetate monohydrate in methanol, and was characterized by elemental analysis, UV and IR spectroscopies, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and a photoluminescence study. The Cu atom is located on a centre of inversion and is coordinated by two imine N atoms, two phenoxy O atoms in a mutual trans disposition and two hydroxy O atoms in axial positions, forming an elongated octahedral geometry.

Substituent effects on hydrogen bonding of aromatic amide-carboxylate.

N-(p-benzoyl)-anthranilic acid (BAA) derivatives have been synthesized with different substituents (X: Br, Cl, OCH3, CH3), and their crystal structures have been analyzed in order to understand the variations in their molecular geometries with respect to the substituents by using (1)H NMR, (13)C NMR, IR and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The carboxylic acid group forms classic OH⋯O hydrogen bonded dimers in a centrosymmetric R2(2)(8) ring motifs for BAA-Br and BAA-Cl. However, no carboxylic acid group forms classic OH⋯O hydrogen bonded dimers in BAA-OCH3 and BAA-CH3.

Schiff base-metal complexes have been used widely as catalysts for many organic reactions, such as ring-opening polymerization and oxidation. In view of the importance of Cd(II) coordination polymers and in an effort to enlarge the library of such complexes, the title novel polymeric Cd(II) tridentate Schiff base complex, [Cd3(C13H16BrN2O)2Cl4(CH4O)2]n, has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, UV and IR spectroscopies, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic P-1 space group with two symmetry-independent Cd(II) atoms, one of which lies on an inversion centre, and analysis of the crystal structure shows that both Cd(II) atoms are six-coordinated; the environment around one Cd(II) atom can be described as distorted octahedral, while that around the second Cd(II) atom is octahedral.
