The Group 15 Pn(I) cations (Pn=N, P, As, Sb and Bi), which are isoelectronic with the donor-stabilized carbones, have emerged recently. Despite the presence of two lone pair of electrons, the Pn(I) cations are weakly nucleophilic due to their inherent positive charge. Strongly electron-donating supporting ligands including zwitterionic forms have been used to enhance their Lewis basicity. Furthermore, the chelating effect of cyclic ligand systems proved effective in increasing their nucleophilicity. The strategies involved in successfully isolating the fleeting Sb(I) and Bi(I) cations as the recent most achievements in this field have been discussed. The syntheses, structure, bonding situations and reactivity of the Pn(I) cations are discussed. An outlook on the periodic trends and future applications of these electronically unique electron-rich cationic moieties have been provided.

Synthesis of a potentially polydentate, phosphine and pyridine embedded 1,2,3-triazole, -PhP(CH)C(CH)-1,2,3-N(CH)(Py) () (here onward referred to as "PNN") and its copper complexes are described. Reactions of with CuX yielded mononuclear [Cu{(PNN)-κ-}]X ( - ; X = I, CuBr and CuCl) and dinuclear [Cu{(PNN)-κ-}]X ( X = OTf, X = BF) complexes. Interestingly, the cationic complex [Cu{(PNN)-κ-}]I () in acetonitrile changes into neutral complex [Cu(μ-I)(μ-I)(NCCH){(PNN)-κ(μ-)(μ-)}](), which on addition of dichloromethane reverts back to the cationic form.

Background: Schwann cell-like cells (SCLCs), differentiated from mesenchymal stem cells, have shown promising outcomes in the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries in preclinical studies. However, certain clinical obstacles limit their application. Hence, the primary aim of this study was to investigate the role of exosomes derived from SCLCs (SCLCs-exo) in peripheral nerve regeneration.

Transected peripheral nerve injury (PNI) affects the quality of life of patients, which leads to socioeconomic burden. Despite the existence of autografts and commercially available nerve guidance conduits (NGCs), the complexity of peripheral nerve regeneration requires further research in bioengineered NGCs to improve surgical outcomes. In this work, we introduce multidomain peptide (MDP) hydrogels, as intraluminal fillers, into electrospun poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) conduits to bridge 10 mm rat sciatic nerve defects.

Objective: The primary aim of this study was to examine whether markers of cell damage and of the psycho-neuroendocrino-inflammatory/immune (PNI) system could be associated in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) on the next day following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Materials And Methods: Blood samples of 23 patients (18 men and five women, mean age 62.9 ± 10.
