Open AccessThe MCP-4/MCP-1 ratio in plasma is a candidate circadian biomarker for chronic post-traumatic stress disorder
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is psychiatric disease, which can occur following exposure to traumatic events. PTSD may be acute or chronic, and can have a waxing and waning course of symptoms. It has b...

Metallic Films with Fullerene-Like WS2 (MoS2) Nanoparticles: Self-Lubricating Coatings with Potential Applications
Metallic films impregnated with fullerene-like-WS2 (MoS2) nanoparticles were fabricated on stainless steel and Ti-Ni substrates using galvanic and electroless deposition. The coatings were obtained from aqueous s...

Reactive and Non-reactive Interactions of Thiophene with WS2 Fullerene-like Nanoparticles: An Ultra-high Vacuum Surface Chemistry Study
The adsorption kinetics of thiophene on WS2 nanoparticles with fullerene-like (onion-like) structure has been studied at ultra-high vacuum conditions by sample temperature ram** techniques. At low temperatures,...

The Mode of Action of Diuretics
This review will address several recent findings regarding the interaction of so called loop diuretics of the furosemide type with the Na+2Cl−K+ cotransporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (TAL...

Piretanide-dextran and piretanide-polyethylene glycol interact with high affinity with the Na+ 2 Cl− K+ cotransporter in the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle
Piretanide blocks the Na+ 2Cl− K+ cotransporter protein in the thick ascending limb (TAL) of the loop of Henle reversibly. When tested from the luminal side in isolated perfused cTAL segments it leads to a half m...

The mechanism of anion transport across human red blood cell membranes as revealed with a fluorescent substrate: II. Kinetic properties of NBD-taurine transfer in asymmetric conditions
The transport of inorganic anions across human red blood cell membranes is accomplished by a carrier-like mechanism which involves an electroneutral and obligatory one-for-one anion exchange. The transport kin...

The mechanism of anion transport across human red blood cell membranes as revealed with a fluorescent substrate: I. Kinetic properties of NBD-taurine transfer in symmetric conditions
The molecular mechanism of anion exchange across the human red blood cell membrane was assessed with the fluorescent substrate analog NBD-taurine and the method of continuous monitoring of transport by fluores...
