TL;DR: Tamoxifen is a nonsteroidal antiestrogen originally developed as a contraceptive originally developed in 1996 as discussed by the authors, and has been used in the massive Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (BCPT).
Abstract: Tamoxifen is nonsteroidal antiestrogen originally developed in 1996 as a contraceptive Recently, tamoxifen has been under study within the massive Breast Cancer Prevention Trial-but have we learned enough to recommend tamoxifen for breast cancer prevention? This article looks at the drug therapies, including tamoxifen, currently under development for fighting and preventing breast cancer

TL;DR: Analysis of the spectrum of the peroxyacetate anion shows that the observed spectral features arise almost exclusively from transitions between the trans-conformer of the anion and the X˜22A″ and Ã2A′ states of the corresponding radical.
Abstract: The 351.1 nm photoelectron spectrum of the peroxyacetate anion, (CH(3)C(O)OO(-)) was measured. Analysis of the spectrum shows that the observed spectral features arise almost exclusively from transitions between the trans-conformer of the anion and the X(2)A'' and A (2)A' states of the corresponding radical. The electron affinity of trans-CH(3)C(O)OO is 2.381+/- 0.007 eV and the term energy splitting of the A (2)A' state is 0.691 +/- 0.009 eV, in excellent agreement with two prior values [Zalyubovsky et al. J. Phys. Chem. A 107, 7704 (2003); Hu et al. J. Phys. Chem. 124, 114305/1 (2006); Hu et al. J. Phys. Chem. 110, 2629 (2006)]. The gas-phase acidity of trans-peroxyacetic acid was bracketed between the acidity of acetic acid and tert-butylthiol at Delta(a)G(298)(trans-CH(3)C(O)OOH)=1439 +/- 14 kJ mol(-1) and Delta(a)H(298)(trans-CH(3)C(O)OOH)=1467+/-14 kJ mol(-1). The acidity of cis-CH(3)C(O)OOH was found by adding a calculated energy correction to the acidity of the trans-conformer; Delta(a)G(298)[cis-CH(3)C(O)OOH] = 1461 +/- 14 kJ mol(-1) and Delta(a)H(298)[cis- CH(3)C(O)OOH]=1490+/-14 kJ mol(-1). The O-H bond dissociation energies for both conformers were determined using a negative ion thermodynamic cycle to be D(0)[trans- CH(3)C(O)OOH]=381+/-14 kJ mol(-1) and D(0)[cis- CH(3)C(O)OOH]=403+/-14 kJ mol(-1). The atmospheric implications of these results and relations to the thermochemistry of peroxyacetyl nitrate are discussed briefly.

TL;DR: Construction of a spectral library allowed pollens in the set to be correctly identified as the first match on the basis of photoacoustic spectra at the species (99%) or family level.
Abstract: Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (FT-IR-PAS) has been applied to the problem of identifying pollen samples. One hundred measurements were made on a set of pollen samples comprising five families and ten species. Chemometric analysis of the resulting spectra showed evidence of clustering. Construction of a spectral library allowed pollens in the set to be correctly identified as the first match on the basis of photoacoustic spectra at the species (99%) or family (100%) level.

TL;DR: The data suggest that (a) nicotine can establish interoceptive control over different response sequences, and (b) extinction of one response sequence may be state-dependent.
Abstract: Complex voluntary behaviors occur in sequence. Eight rats were trained in an operant procedure that used nicotine and non-drug (saline) states as interoceptive cues that signaled which of two behavioral sequences led to food reward. The distal and proximal responses in the chain were always maintained on variable interval 30-sec and fixed ratio-1 schedules, respectively, and rate differences between the responses were used as the dependent variable. Extinction and reversal training was conducted. Distal response rates were significantly greater than proximal response rates during training, testing, extinction, and reversal learning. These data suggest that (a) nicotine can establish interoceptive control over different response sequences, and (b) extinction of one response sequence may be state-dependent. The clinical relevance of extinction of complex behavioral repertoires such as drug-seeking and drug-taking behavior that are evoked by specific interoceptive cues is addressed in regard to drug...
