Published: September 2011

In the past years, a significant rise in the proportion of childhood complicated pneumonia cases related to pneumococcal serotypes 1 and 3 has been observed. PhtD is a vaccine candidate protein antigen. By using a pneumococcal lethal intranasal challenge mouse model, a significant additive effect on protection was observed with the combination of vaccination-induced anti-PhtD and injected anti-polysaccharide antibodies specific for serotypes 1 and 3.

Background: Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) is potentially the most valuable water-soluble active component in Salvia miltiorrhiza. Its chemical formula contains multiple phenolic hydroxyl groups, so it has a strong antioxidant capacity.

Objective: We aim to investigate the efficacy and the potential mechanism of Sal B in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke injury.

Introduction: The COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease-2019) pandemic highlighted the importance of assessing the rationales behind vaccine hesitancy for the containment of pandemics. In this nationwide study, representative of the Luxembourgish population, we identified hesitant groups from adolescence to late adulthood and explored motivations both for and against vaccination.

Methods: We combined data collected via online surveys for the CON-VINCE (COvid-19 National survey for assessing VIral spread by Non-affected CarriErs) study, 1865 respondents aged 18-84, and for the YAC (Young people And Covid-19) study, 3740 respondents aged 12-29.

CHONDROITIN SULFATE AND GLUCOSAMINE SULFATE AS PROTECTIVE AND ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS IN THE ULCERATIVE COLITIS DSS MODEL IN RATS.

Chondroitin sulfate (CS) and glucosamine (GlcN) are indicated for the treatment of some inflammatory diseases, such as osteoarthritis, mainly because of the anti-inflammatory effects in reducing metalloproteinases activities (MMP), and other inflammatory mediators. Herein, we reported the structure of the CS, the anti-inflammatory and protective effects of the CS, and GlcN administration in ulcerative colitis model induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in rats. Experimental data indicated that CS disaccharide composition is very similar to the C4S standard, with modal molecular weight at 30.

It is well established that the confinement of reactants to two dimensions influences their reactivity. However, such confinement is often dominated by charge transfer effects between the reactants and the confining walls, in particular if the walls are conductive. Also, the reactivity of carbenes on metal surfaces is significantly affected by the charge transfer between the carbene and the metal, rendering the carbene more nucleophilic or electrophilic.
