TL;DR: The present findings suggest that APC may improve thrombolytic therapy for stroke, in part, by reducing tPA-mediated hemorrhage.
Abstract: Brain hemorrhage is a serious complication of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) therapy for ischemic stroke. Here we report that activated protein C (APC), a plasma serine protease with systemic anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory and antiapoptotic activities, and direct vasculoprotective and neuroprotective activities, blocks tPA-mediated brain hemorrhage after transient brain ischemia and embolic stroke in rodents. We show that APC inhibits a pro-hemorrhagic tPA-induced, NF-kappaB-dependent matrix metalloproteinase-9 pathway in ischemic brain endothelium in vivo and in vitro by acting through protease-activated receptor 1. The present findings suggest that APC may improve thrombolytic therapy for stroke, in part, by reducing tPA-mediated hemorrhage.

TL;DR: In this paper, Siegel et al. experimentally investigate several hydrogen storage reactions based on thermodynamic destabilization of LiBH4 and reveal significant kinetic barriers for hydrogen release, evidenced by high desorption temperatures (>300 °C) and exceedingly slow hydrogen release rates.
Abstract: We experimentally investigate several hydrogen storage reactions based on thermodynamic destabilization of LiBH4. The destabilized mixtures include nine M(H2)−LiBH4 compositions, where M(H2) = Al, Mg, Ti, Sc, V, Cr, MgH2, CaH2, or TiH2, which were selected on the basis of favorable thermodynamics predicted by recent first-principles computational study (Siegel, D. J.; Wolverton, C.; Ozoliņs, V. Phys. Rev. B: Condens. Matter, Mater. Phys. 2007, 76, 134102). For all compositions, our measurements reveal significant kinetic barriers for hydrogen release, evidenced by high desorption temperatures (>300 °C) and exceedingly slow hydrogen release rates. Characterization of the desorbed reaction phases indicate that less than half of the mixtures examined (M(H2) = MgH2, Mg, Al, and CaH2) follow the thermodynamically expected reaction pathway, resulting in the formation of metal boride products (MgB2, AlB2, and CaB6, respectively). Hydrogen release/uptake data for these compositions indicate that the MgH2−(LiBH4)2...

TL;DR: HMSCs are targeted by inflammatory chemotactic agents and cytokines and that ischemic brain attracts hMSCs, and data indicate that MCP-1, MIP-1α and IL-8 enhance the migration of h MSCs.
Abstract: Bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) administered intravenously are effective in reducing neurological deficits after stroke in the rodent. These cells appear to selectively migrate and express neural phenotypes in ischemic brain. To elucidate the mechanisms targeting MSC migration into the ischemic brain, we measured, using a microchemotaxis chamber, the effect of select chemotactic factors and cytokines expressed in injured brain, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), macrophage inflammatory protein-1α (MIP-1α) and interleukin-8 (IL-8), on migration of human bone marrow stromal cells (hMSCs). In addition, we investigated whether tissue extracts prepared from rat ischemic brain at various times after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAo) induce migration of hMSCs. Our data indicate that MCP-1, MIP-1α and IL-8 enhance the migration of hMSCs. Ischemic brain tissue extracts at 24, 48 h and 1 week after ischemia significantly increase hMSC migration across the membrane compared to non-ischemic ti...

TL;DR: Counter to earlier studies of total hydrogen uptake in MOFs, usable capacities in the highest-capacity materials are negatively correlated with density and volumetric surface area, which suggests that property/performance trends for total capacities may not translate to usable capacities.
Abstract: Few hydrogen adsorbents balance high usable volumetric and gravimetric capacities. Although metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently demonstrated progress in closing this gap, the large number of MOFs has hindered the identification of optimal materials. Here, a systematic assessment of published databases of real and hypothetical MOFs is presented. Nearly 500,000 compounds were screened computationally, and the most promising were assessed experimentally. Three MOFs with capacities surpassing that of IRMOF-20, the record-holder for balanced hydrogen capacity, are demonstrated: SNU-70, UMCM-9, and PCN-610/NU-100. Analysis of trends reveals the existence of a volumetric ceiling at ∼40 g H2 L−1. Surpassing this ceiling is proposed as a new capacity target for hydrogen adsorbents. Counter to earlier studies of total hydrogen uptake in MOFs, usable capacities in the highest-capacity materials are negatively correlated with density and volumetric surface area. Instead, capacity is maximized by increasing gravimetric surface area and porosity. This suggests that property/performance trends for total capacities may not translate to usable capacities. Considering the large number of existing synthesised and hypothesised metal-organic frameworks, determining which materials perform best for given applications remains a challenge. Here, the authors screen the usable hydrogen uptake capacities of nearly 500,000 MOFs, and find that three frameworks outperform the current record-holder.
