Article Abstract
The separation of xylene isomers still remains an industrially challenging task. Here, porous purine-based metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have been synthesized and studied for their potential in xylene separations. In particular, Zn(purine)I showed excellent -xylene/-xylene separation capability with a diffusion selectivity of 6 and high equilibrium adsorption selectivity as indicated by coadsorption experiments. This high selectivity is attributed to the shape and size of the channel aperture within the rigid framework of Zn(purine)I.

The impact of framework flexibility and defects on the water adsorption in CAU-10-H.

Aluminum-based metal-organic framework (MOF) CAU-10-H is a promising candidate for heat transformation and water harvesting applications due to its hydrothermal stability, beneficial step-wise water adsorption isotherm and low toxicity. In this study, the effects of the framework flexibility and structural defects on the mechanism of water sorption in CAU-10-H were studied by grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) methods. It was shown by the simulations that the rigid ideal MOF framework is hydrophobic.

The in vitro micronucleus (MN) assay is a well-established assay for quantification of DNA damage, and is required by regulatory bodies worldwide to screen chemicals for genetic toxicity. The MN assay is performed in two variations: scoring MN in cytokinesis-blocked binucleated cells or directly in unblocked mononucleated cells. Several methods have been developed to score the MN assay, including manual and automated microscopy, and conventional flow cytometry, each with advantages and limitations.

Collagen adopts a characteristic supercoiled triple helical conformation which requires a repeating (Xaa-Yaa-Gly) sequence. Despite the abundance of collagen, a combined experimental and atomistic modelling approach has not so far quantitated the degree of flexibility seen experimentally in the solution structures of collagen triple helices. To address this question, we report an experimental study on the flexibility of varying lengths of collagen triple helical peptides, composed of six, eight, ten and twelve repeats of the most stable Pro-Hyp-Gly (POG) units.

Introduction: Endobronchial resection is now the standard treatment for tracheobronchial narrowing due to malignancy. The clinical and functional respiratory improvement has been evaluated previously but only in heterogeneous population.
Methods: Between February 2009 and February 2011, we conducted a prospective single centre study at the University Hospital of Lille.
