AI Article Synopsis

  • The study calculated cohesive energy densities for ion-pair complexes formed with various crown ethers and water at room temperature.
  • The calculations employed two different methods based on distribution constants, and the results showed good agreement between both approaches.
  • The hydrophobicity of different anions was ranked based on their log K values, providing insights into their extraction properties with a specific crown ether.

Article Abstract

Cohesive energy densities (C(w,MLA)/J cm(-3)) for ion-pair complexes (MLA: M(+) = Li(+) to Cs+; w: water) with six crown ethers (L), such as 18-crown-6 ether (18C6), benzo-18C6, and dibenzo-24-crown-8 one, and A(-) = picrate were calculated at 298 K by a procedure that uses either (i) an equation rearranged from that underlying log K(D,MLA)-vs.-log K(D,L) plots or (ii) intercepts of their plots and from both procedures. Here, K(D,MLA) and K(D,L) denote the distribution constants of MLA and L from w into a diluent, respectively. As additional MLA, Na(18C6)(2,4-dinitrophenolate) and Na(18C6)(2,6-dinitrophenolate) were employed for the present C(w,MLA) calculation. The C(w,MLA) values calculated from the two procedures agreed well, and they were proportional to the log(K(D,MLA))(-1) values. From the log K(D,MLA) values for dinitrophenolates and previously-reported values for Na(18C6)A, the hydrophobic property of some pairing anions, A(-), was ordered as F(3)CCO(2)(-) < ReO(4)(-) < MnO(4)(-) < 2,4-dinitrophenolate < 2,6-dinitrophenolate < picrate, and then discussed based on a relation with the log K(ex) values, where K(ex) shows the extraction constant (mol(-2) dm(6) unit) for Na(18C6)A into 1,2-dichloroethane.

Background: The pressure gradient between the ventricles and the subarachnoid space (transmantle pressure) is crucial for understanding CSF circulation and the pathogenesis of certain neurodegenerative diseases. This pressure can be approximated by the pressure difference across the aqueduct (ΔP). Currently, no dedicated platform exists for quantifying ΔP, and no research has been conducted on the impact of breathing on ΔP.

The therapeutic role of naringenin nanoparticles on hepatocellular carcinoma.

BMC Pharmacol Toxicol

January 2025

Biochemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Tanta University, Tanta, Egypt.

Background: Naringenin, a flavonoid compound found in citrus fruits, possesses valuable anticancer properties. However, its potential application in cancer treatment is limited by poor bioavailability and pharmacokinetics at tumor sites. To address this, Naringenin nanoparticles (NARNPs) were prepared using the emulsion diffusion technique and their anticancer effects were investigated in HepG2 cells.

Need For A Strategic Approach To Knowledge Transfer And Exchange: Late-phase clinical trials and systematic reviews find results that have the potential to improve health outcomes for people. However, there are often delays in these results influencing clinical practice. We developed a knowledge transfer and exchange strategy to support research teams, aiming to identify activities along the research process to maximise and accelerate the research impact.

Objective: To investigate the application value of arthroscopic channel modification in meniscal injury repair.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 100 patients with meniscus injuries treated with knee arthroscopy from December 2022 to December 2023 and divided them into a control group and a modified group according to the application of "arthroscopic access modification technology". We compared the operation time, postoperative hospitalization time, VAS score, Lysholm knee function score, postoperative complications, and postoperative images of the patients in these two groups.

Background: Given the increasing recognition of the value of greater integration of physical and mental health services for children and young people, we aimed to evaluate preferences among parents for the characteristics associated with integrated health service provision for two conditions (eating disorders, functional symptom disorders).

Methods: Two discrete choice experiments (DCEs) were conducted, using electronic surveys. Participants were adult parents of children and young people.
