To realize highly selective recognition of oxalate in water, a new chemosensing ensemble that behaves highly selective colorimetric recognition of oxalate in water at pH 7.4 has been developed. The ensemble was constructed by a pyrrole containing mononuclear copper complex and chromeazurol S. The ensemble shows a highly selective recognition of oxalate through an obvious color change from blue to yellow upon the addition of oxalate, whereas, other dicarboxylates such as malonate, succinate, fumarate, maleate, glutarate, adipate, phthalate, isophthalate and terephthalate do not induce any noticeable color changes. The oxalate recognition process is not significantly affected by other coexisting dicarboxylate.

Irradiation of 1,4-diphenylbutadiyne (DPB) with a mixture of electron-deficient and electron-rich olefins in deaerated tetrahydrofuran yields a 1 : 1 primary photoadduct between DPB and electron-deficient olefins. Irradiation of the primary photoadduct of DPB and dimethyl fumarate (DMFu) with various olefins such as DMFu, acrylonitrile (AN), and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (DMB) in deaerated tetrahydrofuran yields regiospecific 1 : 1 photoadducts. The electron-deficient olefins are more reactive than electron-rich olefins in the photoreaction which proceeds through excited triplet state.

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia is a disease characterized with destruction of erythrocytes as a result of antibody produce against patient's own erythrocytes and anemia. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia can be roughly stratified into two groups according to serological features and secondary causes including drugs induced hemolytic anemia. Drugs induced autoimmune hemolytic anemia is very rare in pediatric patients. Even though hematological side effects such as leucopenia, agranulocytosis, eosinophilia, thrombocytopenic purpura and aplastic anemia might occur due to psychotropic drug use; to the best of our knowledge there is no autoimmune hemolytic anemia case due to quetiapine, an atypical antipsychotics, in literature. We hereby describe the first child case of autoimmune hemolytic anemia during quetiapine treatment.We also are pointing out that one should keep in mind serious hematological side effects with atypical antipsychotic drug use with this case report.

When the two conjugated poly-ynes, 1-phenyl-6-methyl- and 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriynes, were irradiated with UVA in deaerated 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene solution, 1:2 photoadducts, 1-(1'-phenylethynyl-2',2',3',3'-tetramethylcyclopr opyl)-2-(l",2",2",3",3"-pentamethylcyclopropyl) acetylene and 1-(1'-phenylethynyl-2',2',3',3'-tetramethylcyclopr opyl)-2-(1"-phenyl-2",2",3",3"-tetramethylcyclopropyl) acetylene, were obtained, respectively. No photoadduct was formed with aerated 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, or deaerated solutions of dimethyl fumarate, methyl crotonate, dimethyl maleate, and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene. The results suggest that the reactions proceed from the triplet state only with electron rich olefins such as 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene.

A diacetylene compound, 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiyne, was photolyzed with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene, dimethyl fumarate, and methyl crotonate, as a model reaction of the phototoxic conjugated polyynes with DNA or RNA and [2 + 2] photocycloadducts were obtained except for 1,4-cyclohexadiene. In the photoreaction of 1,4-diphenyl-1,3-butadiyne with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene, a [2 + 2 + 2] photoadduct was additionally obtained. The photolysis of 1,4-di-t-buyl-1,3-butadiyne with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene also yielded a [2 + 2] photoadduct. Fluorescence was observed from all the photoadducts while the reactants did not show any fluorescence.

In order to elucidate the role of platelet activating factor (PAF) in the acute lung injury induced by endotoxin (ETX), activities of phospholipase A2, lyso PAF acetyltransferase and oxidative stress by neutrophilic respiratory burst were probed in the present study. To induce acute lung injury, $100\;{\mu}g$ of E.coli ETX (type 0127; B8) was instilled directly into the tracheae of Sprague-Dawley rats. Five hours after the ETX instillation, induction of acute lung injury was confirmed by lung leak index and protein contents in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. At the same time, lung phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity and expression of group I and II secretory type PLA2 were examined. In these acutely injured rats, ketotifen fumarate, known as lyso PAF acetyltransferase inhibitor and mepacrine were administered to examine the role of PAF in the pathogenesis of the acute lung injury. To know the effect of the ETX in the synthesis of the PAF in the lungs, lyso PAF acetyltransferase activity and PAF content in the lungs were measured after treatments of ETX, ketotifen fumarate and mepacrine. In addition, the role of neutrophils causing the oxidative stress after ETX was examined by measuring lung myeloperoxidase (MPO) and enumerating neutrophils in the BAL fluid. To confirm the oxidative stress in the lungs, pulmonary contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. After instillation of the ETX in the lungs, lung leak index increased dramatically (p＜0.001), whereas mepacrine and ketotifen decreased the lung leak index significantly (p＜0.001). Lung PLA2 activity also increased (p＜0.001) after ETX treatment compared with control, which was reversed by mepacrine and ketotifen (p＜0.001). In the examination of expression of group I and II secretory PLA2, mRNA synthesis of the group II PLA2 was enhanced by ETX treatment, whereas ketotifen and WEB 2086, the PAF receptor antagonist, decreased the expression. The activity of the lysoPAF acetyltransferase increased (p＜0.001) after treatment of ETX, which implies the increased synthesis of PAF by the remodelling of lysoPAF in the lungs. Consequently, the contents of the PAF in the lungs were increased by ETX compared with control (p＜0.001), while mepacrine (p＜0.001) and ketotifen (p＜0.01) decreased the synthesis of the PAF in the lungs of ETX treated rats. The infiltration of the neutrophils was confirmed by measuring and enumerating lung MPO and the neutrophils in the BAL fluid respectively. Compared with control, ETX increased lung MPO and number of neutrophils in BAL significantly (p＜0.001) whereas mepacrine and ketotifen decrerased number of neutrophils (p＜0.001) and MPO (p＜0.05, p＜0.001, respectively). The lung MDA contents were also increased (p＜0.001) by ETX treatment, but treatment with mepacrine (p＜0.001) and ketotifen (p＜0.01) decreased the lung MDA contents. Collectively, we conclude that ETX increases PLA2 activity, and that the subsequently increased production of PAF was ensued by the remodelling of the lyso PAF resulting in tissue injury by means of oxidative stress in the lungs.

Biodegredable and injectable nanocomposites based on polypropylene fumarate (PPF) as unsaturated polyester were prepared. The investigated polyester was crosslinked with three different monomers namely N-vinyl pyrrolidone (NVP), methyl methacrylate (MMA) and a mixture of NVP and MMA (1:1 weight ratio) and was filled with 45 wt% of hydroxyapatite (HA) incorporated with different concentrations of chemically treated natural bone powder (NBP) (5, 10 and 15 wt%) in order to be used in treatment of orthopedics bone diseases and fractures. The nanocomposites immersed in the simulated body fluid (SBF) for 30 days, after the period of immersion in-vitro bioactivity of the nanocomposites was studied through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) in addition to dielectric measurements. The degradation time of immersed samples and the change in the pH of the SBF were studied during the period of immersion.

A new highly salicylate-selective PVC membrane electrode based on tripodal tris-thiourea derivatives, L1 and L2, as neutral carriers is described. The electrodes display an excellent potentiometric response to salicylate ions and an anti-Hofmeister selectivity sequence in the following order: Salicylate? > ClO4 ? > Benzoate? > I? >NO3? > NO2? > Maleate? > Acetate? > Lactate? > Fumarate?. It also exhibited a near-Nernstian potential in a linear range of 5.0 × 10?5 - 1.0 × 10?1 M with a detection limit of 9.0 × 10?5 mol/L and a slope of ?59.9 mV/decade at a pH of 7.0 in a saline buffer solution at 25 oC. The stability constant (log KS) of the anionsionophore complex was also determined at 25 oC by a conductometric titration in DMSO solution.

Ruthenium complex-catalyzed reactions often require highly qualified tuning of reaction conditions with substrates to attain high yield and selectivity of the products. In this review, our strategies for achieving characteristic ruthenium complex-catalyzed co-oligomerization of different alkenes are disclosed: 1) The codimerization of 2-norbornenes with acrylic compounds by new ruthenium catalyst systems of RuCl3(tpy)/Zn [tpy = 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine] or [RuCl2(η6-C6H6)]2/Zn in alcohols, 2) A novel synthesis of 2-alkylidenetetrahydrofurans from dihydrofurans and acrylates by zerovalent ruthenium catalysts, such as Ru(η4-cod)(η6-cot) [cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, cot = 1,3,5-cyclooctatriene] and Ru(η6-cot)(η2-dmfm)2 [dmfm = dimethyl fumarate], 3) Regio- and stereoselective synthesis of enamides by Ru(η6-cot)(η2-dmfm)2-catalyzed codimerization of N-vinylamides with alkenes, and 4) Unusual head-to-head dimerization of styrenes and linear codimerization of styrenes with ethylene by Ru(η6-cot)(η2-dmfm)2 catalyst in the presence of primary alcohols.
