Organic chromophores with large Stokes shifts and dual emissions are fascinating because of their fundamental and applied interest. Tat-BECN1 molecular weight Vibration-induced emission (VIE) refers to a tunable multiple fluorescence exhibited by saddle-shaped N,N’-disubstituted-dihydribenzophenazines (DHPs), which involves photo-induced…[Read more]

Curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol of turmeric, has a variety of biological functions as a herbal supplement, but its poor gastric absorption rate is one of the major factors limiting its oral bioavailability. In the present study, we have investigated the functional role of a nanosphere loaded with curcumin (CN) during host cell death elicited by…[Read more]

Before implant, 40% received mechanical ventilation (MV). Within 6 months post-implant, 57% underwent transplant and 14% died. PP 1 mortality was highest (25% vs 10% for PP 2, hazard ratio 2.5, 95% CI 1.4-4.4, p = 0.02). In PP 1, CHD was an independent mortality risk factor (HR 2.9, 95% CI 1.1-7.8, p = 0.03). In PP 2, pulsatile VADs were associa…[Read more]
