AI Article Synopsis

  • The study involved exposing rats to a combination of carbon monoxide and a superoxide dismutase inhibitor, diethyldithiocarbamate, resulting in a high mortality rate among the treated rats.
  • Out of twenty-three rats exposed to both treatments, sixteen died, indicating a significant impact of the combined exposure.
  • In contrast, no deaths occurred in the control groups, including rats exposed to carbon monoxide without the inhibitor or those injected with the inhibitor but not exposed to carbon monoxide.

Article Abstract

Simultaneous exposure of rats to carbon monoxide (COHb 60%) and diethyldithiocarbamate (i.p. 0.5 g/kg), a superoxide dismutase inhibitor, for 2.5 h resulted in a death of sixteen out of twenty-three rats. No rats treated with saline and exposed to CO died (0/26). There were no fatalities among the group of rats injected with the diethyldithiocarbamate solution and exposed to ambient air (0/16).

Understanding the interplay between gasotransmitters is essential for unlocking their therapeutic potential. However, achieving spatiotemporally controlled co-delivery to target cells remains a significant challenge. Herein, we propose an innovative strategy for the intracellular co-delivery of carbon monoxide (CO) and nitric oxide (NO) gasotransmitters under clinically relevant wavelengths.

Modification of polylactic acid (PLA) is a promising strategy for the next generation of bioresorbable vascular stent biomaterials. With this focus, FeMOFs nanoparticles was incorporated in PLA, and then post loading of carbon monoxide (CO) was performed by pressurization. It showed FeMOFs incorporation increased hydrophilicity of the surface and CO loading, and CO release was sustained at least for 3 days.

Electrocatalytic urea synthesis from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrate (NO3-) offers a promising alternative to traditional industrial methods. However, current catalysts face limitations in the supplies of CO* and Nrelated* intermediates, and their coupling, resulting in unsatisfactory urea production efficiency and energy consumption. To overcome these challenges, we carried out tandem electrosynthesis approach using ruthenium dioxide-supported palladium-gold alloys (Pd2Au1/RuO2).

Contingency management (CM), an evidence-based behavioral strategy that rewards positive behavior change including tobacco cessation, is rarely offered to support people with HIV (PWH) who smoke. In this study, we explored perspectives among patients and research staff engaged in a multi-site randomized clinical trial involving clinical pharmacist-delivered CM within HIV clinics. Between February and September 2023, we conducted 1:1 interviews with 12 PWH randomized to receive CM and one focus group with 8 staff (i.

Background: Severe respiratory complications following kidney transplantation have been reported, yet remain poorly understood in the pediatric population. This study aimed to document respiratory disease in this population.

Methods: At annual follow-ups, patients completed a respiratory symptoms questionnaire and underwent pulmonary function tests (PFTs).
