Acyl carrier protein is related with fatty acid biosynthesis in which specific enzymes are involved. Especially, acyl carrier protein (ACP) is the key component in the growing of fatty acid chain. ACP is the small, very acidic protein that covalently binds various intermediates of fatty acyl chain. Acylation of ACP is mediated by holo-acyl carrier protein synthase (ACPS), which transfers the 4'PP-moiety of CoA to the 36th residue Ser of apo ACP. Acyl carrier protein P (ACPP) is one of ACPs from Helicobacter plyori. The NMR structure of ACPP consists of four helices, which were reported previously. Here we show how acylation of ACPP can affect the overall structure of ACPP and figured out the contact surface of ACPP to acyl chain attached during expression of ACPP in E. coli. Based on the chemical shift perturbation data, the acylation of ACCP seems to affect the conformation of the long loop connecting helix I and helix II as well as the second short loop connecting helix II and helix III. The significant chemical shift change of Ile 54 upon acylation supports the contact of acyl chain and the second loop.

Purpose This study aims to evaluate the incidence and management of venous ruptures after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for dysfunctional arteriovenous (AV) access. Materials and Methods From January 1998 to December 2015, 13506 PTA, mechanical thrombectomy, and thrombolysis procedures were performed in 6732 patients. The venous rupture rate following PTA was obtained, and access circuit primary patency (ACPP) was compared according to the etiology (PTA, thrombotic occlusion, and treatment type) of the venous rupture present. Results Venous rupture developed in 604 of the 13506 procedures. Venous ruptures were more frequent in female, AV graft cases, and in cases accompanied by thrombosis. Balloon tamponade was performed in 604 rupture cases, and stents were deployed in 119 cases where contrast extravasation and flow stasis persisted. ACPP was significantly better in the non-ruptured AV access circuits than in the ruptured group. However, AV access type and thrombosis was not associated with primary patency. In ruptured cases, ACPP is 8.4 months for prolonged balloon tamponade and 11.2 months for bare-metal stent insertion, showing statistically significant difference. Conclusion Balloon tamponade and bare-metal stent placement are effective treatment for PTA-induced venous ruptures. In particular, stent placement showed a similar ACPP to that of non-ruptured AV access circuits.

1, 1-diamino-3, 3, 5, 5-tetrachlorocyclotriphosphazene, 1, 1-diami-no3, 3, 5, 5-tetra-(p-bromophenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene, and 1, 1-diamino-3, 3, 5, 5-tetra-(p-chlorophenoxy) cyclotri-phosphazene(ACPP) was prepared from hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene and used for the curing agent of bisphenol A type epoxy resin and phenol novolak. The resistance to chemicals and water of the cured epoxy resins were examined by DMTA and compared with those of the epoxy rosins cured with phosphazene derivatives and 4, 4'-diaminodiphenylmethane. The effect of the curing agent on resistance to chemicals and water of the cured epoxy resins were investigated. The epoxy resins cured with 1, 1-diamino-3, 3, 5, 5-tetrachlorocyclotriphosphazene and 1, 1- diamino-3, 3, 5, 5-tetra- (p-bromophenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene showed superior resistance to chemicals and water to those of 1, 1-diamino-3, 3, 5, 5-tetra- (p-chlorophenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene and 4, 4'-diaminodiphenylmethane. It is an effective curing agent for epoxy resins to enhance the resistance to chemicals, water and tome proofing.
