The reversible transformations [(Bim)3Fe(κ(2)-O2N)][BF4] (3) <-> [(Bim)3Fe(NO)(κ(1)-ONO)][BF4]2 (4) were demonstrated and characterized. Transformation of O,O-nitrito-containing complex 3 into [(Bim)3Fe(μ-O)(μ-OAc)Fe(Bim)3](3+) (5) along with the release of NO and H2O triggered by 1 equiv of AcOH implicates that nitrite-to-nitric oxide conversion occurs, in contrast to two protons needed to trigger nitrite reduction producing NO observed in the protonation of [Fe(II)-nitro] complexes.

Background: Recent reports suggest increased myocardial iNOS expression leads to excessive protein -nitrosylation, contributing to the pathophysiology of HFpEF. However, the relationship between NO bioavailability, dynamic regulation of protein -nitrosylation by trans- and de-nitrosylases, and HFpEF pathophysiology has not been elucidated. Here, we provide novel insights into the delicate interplay between NO bioavailability and protein -nitrosylation in HFpEF.

Coagulase-negative (CoNS) is a rare cause of UTIs in children and is often regarded as a contaminant in urine samples. We report a case of acute focal bacterial nephritis (AFBN) and bacteremia caused by following an upper respiratory infection in a pediatric patient. The patient, a four-year-old girl, presented with fever, cough, and a runny nose two days before being referred to our hospital due to persistent fever and poor oral intake.

The electrocatalytic aqueous ammonia oxidation (AO) represents a more sustainable alternative to accessing nitrite (NO) and nitrate (NO). We now report that Cu(pyalk) {pyalk = 2-(pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-oate}, previously employed as a homogeneous water oxidation (WO) catalyst, is also active for selective AO in aqueous environments. The traditional Griess analytical test for NO/NO was modified to permit the operation in the presence of the otherwise interfering Cu ion.

Stable inhibition of nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) is a significant challenge in achieving partial nitrification (PN) and partial nitrification-anaerobic ammonia oxidation (PNA). Growing evidence suggested that NOB can develop resistance to suppression over time, leading to the re-enrichment of NOB within reactors. To address these issues, this study aimed to achieve stable PN by regulating SRT to selectively washout NOB during the lag phase of activity recovery following FA/FNA exposure.

The endogenous reduction of nitrite to nitrosyl is drawing increasing attention as a protective mechanism against hypoxic injury in mammalian physiology and as an alternative source of NO, which is involved in a wide variety of biological activities. Thus, chemical mechanisms for this transformation, which are mediated by metallo proteins, are of considerable interest. The study described here examines the reactions of the biomimetic models Co(TTP)(NO) (TTP = meso-tetratolylporphyrinato dianion) and Mn(TPP)(ONO) (TPP = meso-tetraphenyl-porphyrinato dianion) in sublimated solid films with hydrogen sulfide (HS) and with ethanethiol (EtSH) at various temperatures from 77 K to room temperature using in situ infrared and optical spectroscopy.
