Fluorescent boron complexes based on new N,O-chelates as promising candidates for flow cytometry.

This study presents the synthesis and optical properties of a new class of bright green-yellow fluorescent dyes with potential applications in bioimaging. A facile synthetic route via the chelation of aryl(hetaryl)aminoacryloylthiophene scaffolds with a BF2 fragment is presented. The photophysical properties of the dyes are attributed to the nature and position of electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituents.

Experimental study and modelling the evolution of viscoelastic hysteresis loop at different frequencies in myocardial tissue.

Our work involved experimental study of the influence of actomyosin complexes and the main structural components of the myocardial tissue - connective tissue collagen framework and cardiomyocytes - on the characteristics of viscoelastic hysteresis at different frequencies. In this paper a new method was introduced for the analysis of the viscoelastic characteristics of the force hysteresis in the isolated myocardial preparation for the assessment of mechanical energy expenditure in the tension-compression cycle. We established that basic myocardial structures have an impact on the to the characteristics of the viscoelastic hysteresis in many ways.

Viscoelastic properties of the papillary muscle: experimental and theoretical study.

It is well known that the structure of biological tissue is closely related to tissue functions and defines its viscoelastic properties. It is necessary to create a model combining structural organization of myocardium and its viscoelastic properties to develop a model of cardiac wall of intact or deceased heart. This paper is devoted to experimental and theoretical study of viscoelastic behavior of isolated myocardial samples.
