TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Density Functional Theory combined with a polarized continuum model that simulates the surrounding water molecules showed that the predominant neutral fluorescein structure is quinoid, while the monoanion is carboxylic.

TL;DR: The data suggest that A. blazei could act as a functional food capable of promoting immunomodulation which can account for the destruction of cells with DNA alterations that correlate with the development of cancer, since this mushroom was demonstrated to have a preventive effect against pre-neoplastic colorectal lesions evaluated by the aberrant crypt foci assay.

TL;DR: More pronounced weight gain in the interdialytic period is associated with worsening of lung function, which is almost fully reversible by hemodialysis, and longer duration of hemodialsis associated with decreased respiratory muscle strength.
Abstract: OBJETIVO: Avaliar a funcao pulmonar e a forca muscular respiratoria de pacientes com doenca renal cronica e correlaciona-las com a variacao de peso ligada a realizacao de hemodialise; estudar a correlacao entre o tempo de hemodialise e possiveis alteracoes respiratorias. METODOS: Foram avaliados 17 pacientes (mediana de idade, 47 anos; intervalo interquartilico, 41-52 anos) submetidos a tres sessoes semanais de hemodialise (mediana de tempo, 27 meses; intervalo interquartilico, 14-55). Doze eram do sexo masculino. Realizaram espirometria e mensuracao das pressoes maximas inspiratoria (PImax) e expiratoria (PEmax) antes e apos a primeira sessao semanal de hemodialise. O peso corporal foi quantificado antes e apos as tres sessoes semanais. RESULTADOS: Oito pacientes apresentaram disturbio restritivo leve antes da primeira sessao de hemodialise. Desses, 2 normalizaram apos a sessao. Houve aumento da capacidade vital forcada (p = 0,02) e diminuicao de peso (p = 0,0001) ao final da primeira sessao semanal. A variacao de peso durante tres dias sem hemodialise tendeu a se correlacionar com a variacao da capacidade vital forcada na primeira sessao (r = 0,47; p = 0,055). O tempo de hemodialise correlacionou-se com os valores da porcentagem do predito da PImax (r = -0,53; p = 0,03) e com a PEmax (r = -0,63; p = 0,006) pre-dialise. CONCLUSOES: O maior ganho de peso no periodo interdialitico esta associado com a piora da funcao pulmonar, que pode ser quase totalmente revertida com hemodialise. Alem disso, o maior tempo de hemodialise esta associado a diminuicao da forca muscular respiratoria.

TL;DR: The protective effect was dose-dependent, and strong anticlastogenic activity was exerted at low EPS doses, and this is the first report on the biological activity attributed to botryosphaeran.

TL;DR: This study established the first multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA) scheme for the identification and classification of rhizobial microsymbionts of common bean and revealed broad genetic diversity among strains classified as Rhizobium tropici, providing evidence of new species.
