Endothelial injury, F-actin and vitamin-D binding protein after hematopoietic stem cell transplant and association with clinical outcomes.

Endothelial injury after hematopoietic stem cell transplant is an important initiating factor for early transplant toxicities of thrombotic microangiopathy and acute graft versus host disease. We hypothesized that release of the angiopathic molecule filamentous actin from hematopoietic cells lysed during conditioning prior to stem cell transplant would be associated with clinical outcomes. We detected filamentous actin in the blood of 52% of stem cell transplant recipients in the first 14 days after transplant, and children with detectable filamentous actin had significantly elevated risk of thrombotic microangiopathy (p= 0.

An estimated 5.4 million cases of nonmelanoma skin cancer are reported in the United States at an associated cost of $4.8 billion.

Tuning Surface Chemoresistivity of Au Ultrathin Films Using Metal Deposition via Surface-Limited Redox Replacement of the Underpotentially Deposited Pb Monolayer.

The presented work investigates the chemoresistivity of Au ultrathin films, whose surface is modified by deposition of few monolayers of Au, Pd, or AuPd alloy. The model adsorbate in this study was the HS ion from 0.1 M NaCl solution having concentrations ranging from 0 to 40 ppm.

Electroless Deposition of Pb Monolayer: A New Process and Application to Surface Selective Atomic Layer Deposition.

The present work demonstrates an electroless (e-less) deposition of Pb monolayer on Au and Cu surface whose morphology and properties resemble its underpotentially deposited counterpart. Our results and analysis show that the e-less Pb monolayer deposition is a surface selective, surface controlled, self-terminating process. Results also show that the electroless Pb monolayer deposition is enabling a phenomenon for new deposition method called "electroless atomic layer deposition" (e-less ALD).
