The authors studied the capability of chromatin for structural reorganization in a medium of ionic strength, close to physiological one, under the effect of polyions of polycationic nature--summary histone of chromatin. Electrophoretic analysis demonstrated that like polyanions, summary histone forces out histone HI and partially histones H2B and H2A from chromatin. However, in contrast to polyanions, summary histone makes chromatin resistant to DNase-II, apparently potentiating the aggregation capability of chromatin despite the removal of histone HI.

Characterization of dynamic of the structural changes of legume starches during gelatinization.

This study investigated the dynamic changes in legume starches (common vetch, mung bean, and pea) during gelatinization. All three starches displayed a similar pattern: water absorption and swelling at lower temperatures (50-65 °C), structural rupture at medium temperatures (65-75 °C), and melting/reorganization at higher temperatures (75-90 °C). Gelatinization likely starts with internal structural dissociation, as evidenced by the weakening of the double helix structure and decreasing order observed throughout the process.

The Marcus semi-classical and quantum theories of electron transfer (ET) have been extensively used to understand and predict tunneling ET reaction rates in the condensed phase. Previously, the traditional Marcus two-state model has been extended to a three-state model, which assumes a harmonic dependence of donor (D), bridge (B), and acceptor (A) free energies on the reaction (e.g.

Hypothesis: Water drop infiltration into a thin amphiphilic porous medium is influenced by wettability. Due to the reorganization of amphiphilic matter in contact with water, polar interaction changes the wettability in the bulk porous medium and at the liquid/porous substrate interface. To model out of equilibrium water transfer, we propose a thermodynamics approach derived from Onsager's principle.

Introduction: The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) can induce sterile systemic inflammation that contributes to morbidity and mortality, especially in children. Patients have been found to have increased expression of cytokines and transmigration of leukocytes during and after CPB. Previous work has demonstrated that the supraphysiologic shear stresses existing during CPB are sufficient to induce proinflammatory behavior in non-adherent monocytes.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze and compare the organization and care offered by Primary Health Care (PHC) to people with suspected and/or diagnosed COVID-19 in Brazilian municipalities, considering the Human Development Index (HDI).
Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study carried out with managers of PHC services in Brazilian municipalities. The data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire via Google Forms between April and September 2022 and were analyzed using prevalence ratios, using a Poisson regression model with a random effect and a 5% significance level.
