New N-(3-aminopropyl) (L1, L2) and (2-cyanoethyl) (L3, L4) derivatives of a 14-membered tetraazamacrocycle containing pyridine have been synthesized. The protonation constants of L1 and L2 and the stability constants of their complexes with Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+ metal ions were determined in aqueous solutions by potentiometry, at 298.2 K and ionic strength 0.10 mol dm−3 in KNO3. Both compounds have high overall basicity due to the presence of the aminopropyl arms. Their copper(II) complexes exhibit ...

Two N-methylphosphonic acid derivatives of a 14-membered tetraazamacrocycle containing pyridine have been synthesized, H(4)L(1) and H(6)L(2). The protonation constants of these compounds and the stability constants of complexes of both ligands with Ni(2+), Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) were determined by potentiometric methods at 298 K and ionic strength 0.10 mol dm(-3) in NMe(4)NO(3). The high overall basicity of both compounds is ascribed to the presence of the phosphonate arms. (1)H and (31)P NMR spectroscopic ...

ABSTRACT Efforts to control malaria may affect malaria parasite genetic variability and drug resistance, the latter of which is associated with genetic events that promote mechanisms to escape drug action. The worldwide spread of drug resistance has been a major obstacle to controlling Plasmodium falciparum malaria, and thus the study of the origin and spread of associated mutations may provide some insights into the prevention of its emergence. This study reports an analysis of P. falciparum genetic ...

Food allergy is characterized by an adverse reaction to food intake, or food additives, mediated by immunological mechanisms (1). The foods most commonly involved in this process are cow's milk, egg, wheat, soy, seafood, fish, peanuts and nuts. But it has also occurred in result of foods formerly not identified as causes of allergies, such as kiwi, sesame and cassava, among others(2). It is assumed that allergic reactions to food affect approximately 6 to 8% of children under 3 years of age and 2 ...

The protonation constants of (L1)6– and the stability constants of its mono-, homo- and hetero-dinuclear complexes with Fe3+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ metal ions were determined at 298.2 K and ionic strength 0.10 mol dm–3 in KNO3. The large overall basicity of the ligand was ascribed to the very high protonation constants of the catecholate ...

The patients (81 males, 15 females) had a mean age of 64 ± 9 years. Of these, 62 were smokers, 30 were ex- ...

Abstract We present some selected results indicating the feasibility of preparing therapeutic finished ophthalmic articles, namely commercially available soft contact lenses, using a supercritical solvent impregnation (SSI) technique. Several commercial soft contact lenses were tested and, among these, four lenses were selected for more complete studies: Nelfilcon A (FocusDailies®, CIBA Vision), Omafilcon A (Proclear® Compatibles, CooperVision), Methafilcon A (Frequency® 55, CooperVision) and Hilafilcon ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Vascular calcification is highly prevalent in this population and is an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality. Vascular calcification in uraemic patients is known to be an active and regulated process subject to the action of many promoting and inhibitory factors. The role of vitamin D in this process remains controversial. We evaluated the relationship between serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin ...

This experiment examined the effectiveness of one-group and dual-identity recategorization strategies on reducing intergroup bias among 180 European Portuguese and African Portuguese 9- and 10-year-old children. Results revealed that each of these recategorization strategies, relative to one that emphasized separate group identities, was successful in producing positive attitudes toward the outgroup children present during the session, the outgroup as a whole, and the outgroup as a whole three weeks ...

This research examined preferences for national- and campus-level assimilative and pluralistic policies among Black and White students under different contexts, as majority- and minority-group members. We targeted attitudes at two universities, one where 85% of the student body is White, and another where 76% of students are Black. The results revealed that when a group constituted the majority, its members generally preferred assimilationist policies, and when a group constituted the minority, ...

The Cylex Immuknow assay provides a rapid assessment of global immune function in immunocompromised patients by measuring the global immune responses of CD4 T cells from a whole-blood sample. It may help to monitor the immune status of immunosuppressed transplant patients. However, earlier studies have shown that there is no consensus on the utility of the Immuknow assay in renal transplant rejection.T-cell activation was determined by measuring an increase of intracellular adenosine triphosphate ( ...

Anti-HLA donor-specific antibodies (DSA) identified by single antigen bead array (SAB) are questioned for their excess in sensitivity and lack of event prediction after transplantation. We retrospectively evaluated specific types of preformed DSA (class I, class II or C1q-fixing) and their impact on graft survival. Kidney transplantations performed across negative CDC-crossmatch were included (n = 355). Anti-HLA antibodies were tested using SAB to identify DSA and their capacity to fix C1q. Twenty-eight ...

Abstract This study proposed a new perspective to look at the consequences of the formation of immigrant communities in globalized societies, by investigating the impact of two forms of group indispensability on majority attitudes towards immigrants. Specifically, it explored whether perceived indispensability of different immigrant groups to the national identity and their contributions to the functioning of the host society are related to the development of more positive attitudes towards them. ...

A proteomic analysis of the apoplastic fluid (APF) of coffee leaves was conducted to investigate the cellular processes associated with incompatible (resistant) and compatible (susceptible) Coffea arabica-Hemileia vastatrix interactions, during the 24-96 hai period. The APF proteins were extracted by leaf vacuum infiltration and protein profiles were obtained by 2-DE. The comparative analysis of the gels revealed 210 polypeptide spots whose volume changed in abundance between samples (control, resistant ...

The Leave campaign in the U.K., which advocated exiting the European Union, emphasized anxiety over immigration and the need to take control of the U.K.'s borders. Citizens who expressed concerns about immigration to the U.K. were more likely to vote to leave.

Two studies explored the link between social contagion concerns and assertive bystanders’ behavioral intentions in homophobic bullying episodes.

Study 2 ( N = 230) further explored if inclusive identity representations (i.e., one-group or dual-identity) were ...

Dengue is a worldwide problem characterized by a multifactorial pathogenesis. Considering the viral components, it is known that high viremia or high levels of the secreted nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) may be associated with a more severe disease. We aimed to characterize the NS1 antigenemia and viremia in dengue fatal and non-fatal cases, as potential markers of progression to a fatal outcome. NS1 antigenemia and viremia were determined in Brazilian dengue fatal cases (n = 40) and non-fatal cases ( ...

Abstract Social psychology highlights ingroup identity as an important determinant of intergroup attitudes and relations; however, research has demonstrated that its effects can be positive, negative, or nonexistent depending on how such identity is conceptualized. This research explores how national identity inclusiveness (Study 1) and centrality (Study 2) are associated with immigration related attitudes in school and countrywide settings, respectively. Study 1 showed that teachers’ inclusive (i. ...

Dengue virus (DENV) is an emerging virus involved in outbreaks in Brazil. The association between the virus and vertical transmission, with disorders in the placenta, has raised a worldwide concern. On the 29th gestational week, a pregnant woman presented severe complications due to a DENV infection leading to maternal and fetus death. Postmortem analysis of fetal organs demonstrated the presence of DENV using reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in the fetal brain and DENV non- ...
