Application of gallium nitride nanostructures and nitrogen doped carbon spheres as supports for the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde.

J. Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 13(7) , 4990-5, (2013)

This paper reports on the synthesis and use of nanostructures of gallium nitride (GaN NSs) and nitrogen doped carbon spheres (NCSs) as support materials for the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde. This study provides the first investigation of GaN as a catalyst ...

Stable gold(III) catalysts by oxidative addition of a carbon-carbon bond.

Nature 517(7535) , 449-54, (2015)

Low-valent late transition-metal catalysis has become indispensable to chemical synthesis, but homogeneous high-valent transition-metal catalysis is underdeveloped, mainly owing to the reactivity of high-valent transition-metal complexes and the challenges as...

The orexinergic neurons receive synaptic input from C1 cells in rats.

J. Comp. Neurol. 522(17) , 3834-46, (2014)

The C1 cells, located in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), are activated by pain, hypoxia, hypoglycemia, infection, and hypotension and elicit cardiorespiratory stimulation, adrenaline and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) release, and arousal. The o...

Discs of mammalian rod photoreceptors form through the membrane evagination mechanism.

J. Cell Biol. 211 , 495-502, (2015)

Photoreceptor discs are membrane organelles harboring components of the visual signal transduction pathway. The mechanism by which discs form remains enigmatic and is the subject of a major controversy. Classical studies suggest that discs are formed as seria...

Enhanced toxicity of binary mixtures of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis and three essential oil major constituents to wild Anopheles sinensis (Diptera: Culicidae) and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae).

J. Med. Entomol. 51(4) , 804-10, (2014)

An assessment was made of the toxicity of 12 insecticides and three essential oils as well as Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) alone or in combination with the oil major constituents (E)-anethole (AN), (E) -cinnamaldehyde (CA), and eugenol (EU;...

Submicron polyacrolein particles in situ embedded with upconversion nanoparticles for bioassay.

Nanoscale 7(5) , 1709-17, (2015)

We report a new surface modification approach of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) structured as inorganic hosts NaYF4 codoped with Yb(3+) and Er(3+) based on their encapsulation in a two-stage process of precipitation polymerization of acrolein under alkali...

Influenza A infection attenuates relaxation responses of mouse tracheal smooth muscle evoked by acrolein.

Biochem. Pharmacol. 93(4) , 519-26, (2015)

The airway epithelium is an important source of relaxant mediators, and damage to the epithelium caused by respiratory tract viruses may contribute to airway hyperreactivity. The aim of this study was to determine whether influenza A-induced epithelial damage...

Accumulation of electrophilic aldehydes during postovulatory aging of mouse oocytes causes reduced fertility, oxidative stress, and apoptosis.

Biol. Reprod. 92(2) , 33, (2015)

With increasing periods of time following ovulation, the metaphase II (MII)-stage oocyte experiences overproduction of reactive oxygen species and elevated levels of lipid peroxidation that are implicitly linked with functional deficiencies acquired during po...

Strategically positioned inhibitory synapses of axo-axonic cells potently control principal neuron spiking in the basolateral amygdala.

J. Neurosci. 34(49) , 16194-206, (2014)

Axo-axonic cells (AACs) in cortical regions selectively innervate the axon initial segments (AISs) of principal cells (PCs), where the action potentials are generated. These GABAergic interneurons can alter the activity of PCs, but how the efficacy of spike c...

Acrolein- and 4-Aminobiphenyl-DNA adducts in human bladder mucosa and tumor tissue and their mutagenicity in human urothelial cells.

Oncotarget 5(11) , 3526-40, (2014)

Tobacco smoke (TS) is a major cause of human bladder cancer (BC). Two components in TS, 4-aminobiphenyl (4-ABP) and acrolein, which also are environmental contaminants, can cause bladder tumor in rat models. Their role in TS related BC has not been forthcomin...
