Analogous to a quantum double-dot system, diblock structured molecules could also show negative differential resistance (NDR). Using combined density functional theory and nonequilibrium Green function technique, we show that molecular-level crossing in a molecular double-dot system containing cobaltocene and ferrocene leads to NDR and hysteresis.

Introduction And State Of The Art: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects many organs throughout its course, most frequently the joints, skin and kidneys. Both the central (CNS) and peripheral (PNS) nervous systems are also often affected. T he involvement of the CNS has a negative prognosis in lupus patients.

Immunological characterization of pleural effusions in pediatric patients.

Front Immunol

December 2024

Department of General Pediatrics and Neonatology, Saarland University, Campus Homburg, Homburg, Germany.

Background: The pleural cavity represents a unique immunological compartment that can mount inflammatory reactions during infections, after surgery and in chronic immunological diseases. The connection between systemic immune reactions in the blood and local immune reactions in pleural effusions remains unclear. This study provides the first comprehensive immunological characterization of paired blood and pleural effusion samples, utilizing combined cell and cytokine analyses in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Background: The lactation period is a crucial period where the nutritional status and the mother's environment influence milk production, impacting organ differentiation, function, and structure in the baby's body.

Aim: The study aimed to determine the impact of providing lactating rats with quail egg supplements enriched with marine macroalgae on their physiological condition (blood cells, lipids, blood glucose, antioxidant activity, and prolactin hormone levels) and the growth of their offspring.

Methods: The study involved 25 lactating Sprague Dawley white rats aged 3 months old and weighing approximately 200 g divided into five treatment groups thus; T0 as the control, T1 with quail eggs enriched with commercial feed, T2 with quail eggs enriched with 3% of marine macroalgae, T3 with quail eggs enriched with 4% of marine macroalgae, and T4 with quail eggs enriched with 5% of marine macroalgae, which received one quail egg for 21 days.

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease of cartilage, and exosome derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are considered promising for treating inflammatory musculoskeletal disorders, although their mechanisms are not fully understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of exosomes derived from canine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (cBMSCs-Exos) on the expression of inflammatory factors and genes related cartilage matrix metabolism in IL-1β-induced canine chondrocytes. Canine BMSCs were isolated and characterized for surface markers and trilineage differentiation.
