A series of Ti–pyridyl-phosphinimide complexes of the form Cp′TiX2[NPR2(2-CH2Py)] (Cp′ = Cp, Cp*, R = i-Pr, t-Bu, X = Cl, Me) have been prepared and characterized. These complexes generate ethylene polymerization catalysts upon activation with MAO or B(C6F5)3. The resulting polymers exhibit broad molecular weight distributions. The role of the pyridyl group is discussed in light of stoichiometric reactions of CpTiCl2[NPR2(2-CH2Py)] with B(C6F5)3.Key words: phosphinimide complexes, pyridyl-phosphinimides, olefin polymerization.

Healthy Nutrition

Adiponectin (a protein consisting of 244 amino acids and characterized by a molecular weight of 28 kDa) is a cytokine that is secreted from adipose tissues (adipokine). Available evidence suggests that adiponectin is involved in a variety of physiological functions, molecular and cellular events, including lipid metabolism, energy regulation, immune response and inflammation, and insulin sensitivity. It has a protective effect on neurons and neural stem cells. Adiponectin levels have been reported to be negatively correlated with cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, and shown to be affected (i.e., significantly increased) by proper healthy nutrition. The present review comprehensively overviews the role of adiponectin in a range of diseases, showing that it can be used as a biomarker for diagnosing these disorders as well as a target for monitoring the effectiveness of preventive and treatment interventions.

Axonal Compartment

Neurofilament proteins (NFPs) are highly phosphorylated molecules in the axonal compartment of the adult nervous system. The phosphorylation of NFP is considered an important determinant of filament caliber, plasticity, and stability. This process reflects the function of NFs during the lifetime of a neuron from differentiation in the embryo through long-term activity in the adult until aging and environmental insult leads to pathology and ultimately death. NF function is modulated by phosphorylation–dephosphorylation in each of these diverse neuronal states. In this review, we have summarized some of these properties of NFP in adult nervous tissue, mostly from work in our own laboratory. Identification of sites phosphorylated in vivo in high molecular weight NFP (NF-H) and properties of NF-associated and neural-specific kinases phosphorylating specific sites in NFP are described. A model to explain the role of NF phosphorylation in determining filament caliber, plasticity, and stability is proposed.Key words: neurofilament proteins, phosphorylation, kinases, phosphatases, regulators, inhibitors, multimesic complex, domains.

AbstractSchistosoma japonicumandS. mansoniwere tested for reactivity with an anti-inducible nitric oxide (iNOS) antibody and the distribution of iNOS was studied by immunofluorescent tests in different stages of the parasites. Reactivity was associated with the tegument in both larval schistosomes (sporocysts and cercariae) and eggs. With adult worms, the majority of the immunofluorescence was predominantly subtegumental inS. japonicumand parenchymal inS. mansoni. Fluorescence was also observed in host tissues (snails and mouse liver). In Western blots, the enzyme ofS. japonicumhad an apparent molecular weight of about 210 kDa. The possible role of worm and host iNOS in the parasite–host interrelation remains to be clarified.

Lamellar Morphology

ABSTRACTRow-nucleated structures in PPTA and PBZT thin films are compared and their dependence upon quench rate and molecular weight illustrated. It is proposed that the lamellar appearance of the morphology is due to a coherent periodic twisting of fibrillar ribbons. The role of crystallosolvate phases is discussed.
