Abstract

Results obtained in the application of these tests are summarized in Table II. We have encountered some variations in the reproducibility and accuracy of some tests. Due to the numerous factors that can influence colorimetric test results (e.g., test reagent stability, resin type, functional group interference, and lability of protecting group) we highly recommend performing a positive and a negative control for any test applied to a new synthesis. We also emphasize the importance of reagent solution purity on the outcome of test results, hence we strongly encourage the use of correctly prepared and carefully stored reactants. To minimize false results due to lability of the resin-product bond or the product itself (such as Fmoc-protected amino acids), colorimetric tests should be performed with the utmost immediacy in regards to completion of the step to be monitored. Hence the storage of resin over long periods of time (more than 24 h) before testing is not advisable. When the result of a colorimetric test is in doubt we advise repeating the test a few times until a reproducible result is obtained. The use of multiple tests for the same functional group may elucidate ambiguous or otherwise challenging cases.

Poly(ethylene oxide) thin films produced by electrospray deposition: morphology control and additive effects of alcohols on nanostructure.

Nanostructured thin films were prepared by electrospray deposition (ESD) from poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) aqueous solution. The surface morphologies of the deposited films were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM images revealed the correlations between the morphologies and the ESD conditions. By changing the applied voltage and solution properties such as viscosity, surface tension, conductivity, and molecular weight, PEO thin films with diverse nanostructures--from nanospheres to nanofibers--were fabricated. It was also revealed that the addition of alcohols to polymer solution, which enables simultaneously changing the viscosity, the surface tension, and the conductivity, enhanced the formation of the fibrous structure. These results indicate that the ESD method is potentially a useful option for producing nanoengineered polymer surface.

Chronic gastritis rat model and role of inducing factors.

AIM: To establish an experimental animal model of chronic gastritis in a short term and to investigate the effects of several potential inflammation-inducing factors on rat gastric mucosa. METHODS: Twenty-four healthy, male SD rats were treated with intragastric administration of 600 mL/L alcohol, 20 mmol/L sodium deoxycholate and 0.5 g/L ammonia (factor A), forage containing low levels of vitamins (factor B), and/or indomethacin (factor C), according to an L(8) (2(7)) orthogonal design. After 12 wk, gastric antral and body mucosae were pathologically examined. RESULTS: Chronic gastritis model was successfully induced in rats treated with factor A for 12 wk. After the treatment of animals, the gastric mucosal inflammation was significantly different from that in controls, and the number of pyloric glands at antrum and parietal cells at body were obviously reduced (P<0.01). Indomethacin induced gastritis but without atrophy, and short-term vitamin deficiency failed to induce chronic gastritis and gastric atrophy. In addition, indomethacin and vitamin deficiency had no synergistic effect in inducing gastritis with the factor A. No atypical hyperplasia and intestinal metaplasia in the gastric antrum and body were observed in all rats studied. CONCLUSION: Combined intragastric administration of 600 mL/L alcohol, 20 mmol/L sodium deoxycholate and 0.5 g/L ammonia induces chronic gastritis and gastric atrophy in rats. Indomethacin induces chronic gastritis only. The long-term roles of these factors in gastric inflammation and carcinogenesis need to be further elucidated.

Design, synthesis, and evaluation of oxyanion-hole selective inhibitor substituents for the S1 subsite of factor Xa.

We have designed, synthesized, and evaluated the factor Xa inhibitory activities of p-amidinophenyl-sulfones, amines, and alcohols intended to take advantage of the polarity and hydrogen-bonding potential of the oxyanion hole region of the S1 specificity pocket. We demonstrate that placement of an anionic group within the oxyanion hole region of the catalytic site substantially enhances activity, with small flexible groups favored over bulkier ones. Ab initio pKa calculations suggest that the hydroxyl substituent frequently used for benzamidine moieties may be ionized to form an anionic group, consistent with the general trend. One nonamidine based substituent also shows promising activity.
