Redox exfoliated NbS: characterization, stability, and oxidation.

Niobium disulfide is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide that is being exploited as a two-dimensional material. Although it is a superconductor at low temperatures and demonstrates great potential to be applied as a catalyst or co-catalyst in hydrogen evolution reactions, only a few reports have demonstrated the synthesis of a few-layer NbS. However, before applications can be pursued, it is essential to understand the main characteristics of the obtained material and its stability under an atmospheric environment.

Being Praised for Prosocial Behaviors Longitudinally Reduces Depressive Symptoms in Early Adolescents: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

Background: Depression is highly prevalent and causes a heavy burden in adolescent life. Being praised for prosocial behavior might be a preventive factor because both being praised and prosocial behavior are protective against depression. Here, we investigated the longitudinal relationship between being praised for prosocial behavior and depressive symptoms in adolescents.

Mice with reduced glutamate transporter GLT1 expression exhibit behaviors related to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neuropsychiatric disorder in children. Although animal models and human brain imaging studies indicate a significant role for glutamatergic dysfunction in ADHD, there is no direct evidence that glutamatergic dysfunction is sufficient to induce ADHD-like symptoms. The glial glutamate transporter GLT1 plays a critical role in glutamatergic neurotransmission.

Positive fluid balance is associated with reduced survival in critically ill patients with cancer.

Background: There are no studies that describe the impact of the cumulative fluid balance on the outcomes of cancer patients admitted to intensive care units ICUs. The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between fluid balance and clinical outcomes in these patients.

Method: One hundred twenty-two cancer patients were prospectively evaluated for survival during a 30-day period.

Metabolic and Hormonal Alterations with Diacylglycerol and Low Glycemic Index Starch during Canine Weight Loss.

Obesity increases insulin resistance and disregulation of glucose homeostasis. This study investigated low glycemic index starch (LGIS)/diacylglycerol (DAG) diet on plasma insulin and circulating incretin hormones during canine weight loss. Obese Beagle dogs were fed one of four starch/oil combination diets (LGIS/DAG; LGIS/triacylglycerol (TAG); high glycemic index starch (HGIS)/DAG; and HGIS/TAG) for 9 weeks during the weight loss period.

Postprandial lipid-related metabolites are altered in dogs fed dietary diacylglycerol and low glycemic index starch during weight loss.

In this study, we investigated a combination of a low glycemic index starch (LGIS) and diacylglycerol (DAG) on lipid, lipoprotein (LP) metabolism, and weight management. Obese, intact female adult Beagle dogs were assigned to 1 of 4 starch/oil combination diets [LGIS/DAG (LD); LGIS/triacylglycerol (TAG); high glycemic index starch (HGIS)/DAG; and HGIS/TAG (HT)] and fed for 9 wk (n = 6/group) using an incomplete 4 × 4 Latin square design. Each dog was fed 1 of 2 opposite starch/oil combination diets (e.

The use of sodium-chloride difference and chloride-sodium ratio as strong ion difference surrogates in the evaluation of metabolic acidosis in critically ill patients.

Purpose: Inorganic apparent strong ion difference (SIDai) improves chloride-associated acidosis recognition in dysnatremic patients. We investigated whether the difference between sodium and chloride (Na(+)-Cl(-)) or the ratio between chloride and sodium (Cl(-)/Na(+)) could be used as SIDai surrogates in mixed and dysnatremic patients.

Patients And Methods: Two arterial blood samples were collected from 128 patients.

Re-induction of obese body weight occurs more rapidly and at lower caloric intake in beagles.

For the purpose of investigating the mechanism of obesity-induction/re-induction including weight-cycling in beagles, a study was conducted using commercially available dog food combined with human food to mimic at home-snacking and diet-supplementation behaviours. Adult female beagles, which had free access to water and exercise, were used (n = 9). All dogs were initially offered two times their daily calculated number of calories using a dry extruded diet plus blend of canola and soybean oils and allowed to eat ad libitum.

Reduction of brain infarction induced by a transient brain ischemia in mdr1a knockout mice.

In order to evaluate the functional role of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in cerebral ischemia, both multidrug resistance 1a knockout (KO) mice and wild-type mice were subjected to transient focal ischemia under a constant body and brain temperature about 37 degrees C. The results showed that the volume of brain infarction induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion in KO mice was significantly smaller than that seen in wild-type mice, although there were no significant differences in cerebral blood flow, physiological data and on anatomical analysis of cerebrovasculature between both groups. We suggest that multidrug resistance 1a P-gp plays a role for adjusting the expressions of endogenous neuronal cell modulating substances, such as cytokines, neuronal peptides, and others, in the brain, which is consistent with a previous paper (Bobrov et al.

Isoflurane inhibits protein kinase Cgamma and calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase ii-alpha translocation to synaptic membranes in ischemic mice brains.

Volatile anesthetics isoflurane possibly improves the ischemic brain injury. However, its molecular actions are still unclear. In ischemia, protein kinase C (PKC)gamma and calcium/calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII)-alpha are persistently translocated from cytosol to cell membranes, and diminish these translocation suggested to be neuroprotective.

Ultracytochemical demonstration of glycoproteins in the canine knee synovium.

By various ultracytochemical methods, glycoconjugates of the synoviocytes, the intercellular matrix and the wall of the small capillaries were studied in the synovial intimal tissues of the canine knee joint. Glycoconjugates with vicinal diol groups could be visualized in certain elements of the Golgi complex, lysosomes, vacuoles, the majority of intracellular cytomembranes, the surface coat of the plasma membrane and glycogen particles in type A cells. In type B cells, less-developed Golgi complexes, and fewer lysosomes and vacuoles were present in the cytoplasm than in that of type A cells.

Ultracytochemistry of glycosaminoglycans in the canine knee synovium.

The accurate localization and nature of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the canine knee synovium were studied by ultracytochemical methods that involved high or low iron diamine-thiocarbohydrazide-silver proteinate (physical development) staining in combination with enzyme digestion control procedures. The results obtained indicated that heparan sulfates and hyaluronan were present mainly in the plasma membrane of the B (fibroblast-like) cells. In contrast, the plasma membrane of the A (macrophage-like) cells showed negative reactions after the histochemical examination.

Histochemical analyses of glycosaminoglycans in the synovial membrane of the canine knee joint.

The accurate localization and nature of glycosaminoglycans in the synovial membrane of the canine knee joint were examined histochemically by means of the selective sensitized diamine procedures based upon high and low iron diamine stainings in combination with enzyme digestions. Using these methods, it was possible to clearly and easily detect exceedingly small amounts of glycosaminoglycans in synovial tissues, which cannot be visualized by methods employed to date. The sensitized high iron diamine (S-HID) procedure resulted in positive reactions of varying intensities in the intercellular matrix of synovial intima, and in the extracellular matrix and small capillary walls of the superficial layer in the synovial subintima, and also reacted vividly in the extracellular matrix and blood vessel walls of the deeper layer in the synovial subintima.

Hipposulfates A and B, new sesterterpene sulfates from an Okinawan sponge, Hippospongia cf. metachromia.

Two new sesterterpene sulfates, hipposulfates A (1) and B (2), have been isolated from an Okinawan sponge, Hippospongia cf. metachromia and their structures elucidated by interpretation of spectroscopic data. Both compounds contain an enolsulfate functionality.

Lectin histochemistry of the canine anal glands.

The distribution and selectivity of complex carbohydrates in the canine anal glands were studied by means of lectin histochemistry, using PO-labeled lectins. The secretory epithelium of the anal glands and the excretory duct system exhibited large amounts of mainly neutral glycoproteins with various terminal sugars (alpha-D-mannose, beta-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, alpha-N-acetyl-D-galactosamine, alpha-D-galactose, alpha-L-fucose, N-acetyl-neuraminic acid). Distinctly prominent in the secretion were alpha-L-fucose residues.
