Patient‐specific factors relating to medication adherence in a post‐percutaneous coronary intervention cohort

Published: 03 February 2012

Author(s): Gordon F. Rushworth, Scott Cunningham, Alasdair Mort, Ian Rudd, Stephen J. Leslie

Abstract Objective  To explore the association between medication adherence and qualitatively characterised patient‐specific themes relating to medication adherence in patients following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods  Data‐collection questionnaires and qualitative topic guides were piloted in two patients. A validated questionnaire generated an adherence score for a convenience sample of 20...

Screening of plant extracts for human tyrosinase inhibiting effects

Published: 03 February 2012

Author(s): M. Kim, J. Park, K. Song, H. G. Kim, J.‐S. Koh, Y. C. Boo

Synopsis Screening for tyrosinase (TYR) inhibitors potentially useful for control of skin pigmentation has been hampered by the limited availability of human TYR. To overcome this hurdle, we have established human embryonic kidney (HEK293)‐TYR cells that constitutively express human TYR. In the current study, we assayed human TYR inhibition activities of 50 plant extracts using the lysates of transformed HEK293‐TYR cells. The...

A Theoretical Investigation Into the 1,3‐Dipolar Cycloaddition of Azidotrimethylsilane Onto Nanographene

Published: 03 February 2012

Author(s): Yanli Yuan, Peiyu Chen, Xingye Ren, Hongming Wang

Abstract The mechanism of the 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reaction of azidotrimethylsilane (ATS) onto nanographene (NG) is thoroughly investigated at the B3LYP/6‐31G(d,p) level. Calculations reveal that the reaction occurs through a two‐step reaction mechanism. The first step is the chemical adsorption and the second one is the decomposition of the thereby formed nitride upon thermal activation, giving rise to an N‐bridged product...

Core–shell potential‐derived point charges

Published: 03 February 2012

Author(s): Jeffrey S. Tan, Stephan X. M. Boerrigter, Raymond P. Scaringe, Kenneth R. Morris

Abstract The present work details the development of a core‐shell model for the purposes of obtaining potential‐derived point charges from the ab initio molecular electrostatic potential. In contrast to atomic point charge models, the core‐shell model decomposes all atoms into a core with static charge located at a fixed atomic position and a shell with variable charge and position. The optimization of shell charges and positions is...

Effect of long‐term betaine supplementation on chemical and physical characteristics of three muscles from the Alentejano pig

Published: 03 February 2012

Author(s): José M Martins, José A Neves, Amadeu Freitas, José L Tirapicos

Abstract BACKGROUND: The use of betaine as a dietary supplement to reduce fat deposition and increase lean muscle mass in pigs is increasing. However, there is no available information on its effect on the physical and chemical (i.e. fatty acid (FA) profile) characteristics of pork. RESULTS: The effects of long‐term betaine intake (1 g betaine kg−1 diet for 20 weeks) on the chemical and physical characteristics...
