Objective: To investigate whether tin chloride pretreatment ameliorates renal injury in rats with ischemic acute renal failure (IARF) by virtue of its kidney-specific heme oxygenase-1 induction.
Design: Randomized, masked, controlled animal study.
Setting: University-based animal research facility.
Subjects: Sprague-Dawley male rats, weighing 200-230 g (n = 359).
Interventions: Rats were injected with tin chloride subcutaneously, because subcutaneous administration of tin chloride is known to specifically and potently induce renal heme oxygenase activity in the rat. Anesthetized rats were subjected to bilateral flank incisions, and the right kidney was removed. Renal ischemia for 40 mins was performed by left renal microvascular clamping, followed by reflow of the blood.
Measurements And Main Results: Tin chloride treatment specifically induced heme oxygenase-1 mRNA and protein in the proximal tubular epithelial cells of the kidney without apparent cell injury in the rat. Tin chloride treatment before renal ischemia augmented the induction of heme oxygenase-1 in IARF rats at both transcriptional and protein concentrations in the renal epithelial cells compared with IARF animals. Tin chloride pretreatment, which decreased microsomal heme concentration, ameliorated the ischemic renal injury as judged by the significant decrease in serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen concentrations and the lesser tubular epithelial cell injuries. In contrast, inhibition of heme oxygenase activity by treatment with tin mesoporphyrin, which increased microsomal heme concentration, abolished the beneficial effect of tin chloride pretreatment.
Conclusion: These findings indicate that tin chloride pretreatment significantly ameliorates renal injury in rats with IARF by virtue of its specific heme oxygenase-1 induction in renal epithelial cells. These findings also suggest that heme oxygenase-1 induction plays an important role in protecting renal cells from oxidative damage caused by heme.

Various ingredients are utilized to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria associated with cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. However, the precise mechanisms by which these ingredients affect the oral microbiome have not been fully understood at the molecular level. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms, a high-throughput bacterial transcriptomics study was conducted, and the gene expression profiles of six common oral bacteria, including two Gram-positive bacteria (, ) and four Gram-negative bacteria (, , , and ), were analyzed.

This study presents the development of stannous chloride (SnCl)-modified glass substrates for biomolecule immobilization and their application in fabricating sensor chips for label-free interferometric biosensors. The glass modification process was optimized, identifying a 5% SnCl concentration, a 45 min reaction time, and a 150 °C drying temperature as conditions for efficient protein immobilization. Based on the SnCl-modified glass substrates and label-free spectral-phase interferometry, a biosensor was developed for the detection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-a highly toxic and carcinogenic contaminant in agricultural products.

Article Synopsis
- CuZnSnS (CZTS) is a non-toxic semiconductor ideal for solar energy and catalysis applications, synthesized here using a cost-effective method involving copper and zinc acetates with tin chloride and sulfur.
- The synthesis involved a hot-injection technique that influenced the size and structure of CZTS nanoparticles, with further purification carried out using HCl to eliminate harmful phases.
- Various analytical techniques, including Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, confirmed that HCl effectively removed impurities while maintaining the integrity of the nanoparticles.

Propane dehydrogenation reaction (PDH) is an extremely attractive way to produce propylene; however, the catalysts often lead to byproduct formation and suffer from deactivation. This research focuses on the development of efficient Pt/Sn-based shaped catalysts by utilizing Mg-modified mesoporous silica, sepiolite (natural SiMgO mesoporous clay), and sepiolite/bentonite/alumina as supports with the aim of achieving superior stability and selectivity for industrial propylene production by PDH. The catalysts were prepared by sequential impregnation of the supports with the corresponding solutions of tin chloride and platinum chloride, by obtaining a nominal loading of 0.
