TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of chelate complexes between free radicals and closed-shell metal ions is observed by ESR spectroscopy, and the parameters of these radical complexes are discussed.
Abstract: The formation of chelate complexes between free radicals and closed-shell metal ions is observed by ESR. spectroscopy. High resolution spectra of 1:1 complexes formed between the radical anion of glyoxal-bis-(N-t-butylimine) (GLIR) and Mg2+, Ca2+ and Zn2+ are completely analysed. The complexes formed in dimethoxyethane or tetrahydrofuran solutions are Ca(GLIR)+, Mg(GLIR)X, Zn (GLIR)X and Zn(GLIR)Y−2, where X = Cl−, Br−, I−, and Y = CN−, NCS−. The formation of the heterometallic, binuclear cyanide-bridged complex Zn(GLIR)Fe(CN)63− is also described. Isotropic coupling constants are given for protons and 14N in GLIR as well as for the metal nuclei and magnetic nuclei in the groups X and Y. Stabilities, structures and ESR. parameters of these radical complexes are discussed.

TL;DR: The results emphasize the complexity and high degree of organisation of the glucan-chitin type fungal cell wall of the AscomyceteChaetomium globosum.
Abstract: L'objet de cette etude a ete la composition chimique et la morphologie submicroscopique des parois cellulaires de l'AscomyceteChaetomium globosum, cultive en milieu liquide. Ces parois sont composees de polysaccharides (68% env.), de proteines (29% env.), de lipides (3% env.). La fraction des polysaccharides contient des sucres neutres (72% env.), et des sucres amines (28% env). La presence de glucane presentant des types de liaisons β (1→3) et β (1→6) et de chitine a ete demontree. La composition de la partie proteique a ete etudiee et sa participation a la structure generale de la paroi, a ete etablie. La serine, la threonine et l'acide aspartique sont probablement engages dans les liaisons glacanne-protide.

TL;DR: Differential and integral equations relating either the pH or the (HCO3−) of a buffered medium to its PCO2 are presented and it is argued that these equations provide the most logical expression of the acid-base pathways followed by body fluids in acute respiratory disturbances.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A positive birefringence of the extracellular mucus is demonstrated in the guinea pig, the rat and the rabbit before and after of metachromatical staining with toluidine blue and with acridines and a filamentous structure with a parallel orientation in the mucus while it flows out of the cells is demonstrated.
Abstract: Les auteurs ont etudie la birefringence du mucus du colon chez le rat, le cobaye et le lapin, au moyen des colorations metachromatiques au bleu de toluidine et aux acridines. Ils demontrent une birefringence positive du mucus extracellulaire. Les granulations des mastocytes, dans le meme materiel, sont anisotropes. L'anisotropie du mucus et des granulations des mastocytes est presente apres fixation-coloration simultanee au bleu Alcian et au vert Alcian. La birefringence du mucus extracellulaire reste egalement positive avec les phtalocyanines. En microscopie electronique, les auteurs demontrent, a l'aide du bleu Alcian, une structure filamenteuse parallele du mucus s'echappant de la cellule. Un aspect heterogene des granulations des mastocytes est aussi mis en evidence par cette methode. Ils discutent l'aspect de la reaction metachromatique en fonction de l'anisotropie d'une structure.

TL;DR: In this article, the 5, 6-diphenyl-11, 12-dihydro-indeno[2.1]-fluorene is obtained by reduction of the already known 11, 12dioxoderivative.
Abstract: Starting from 2-methyl- and from 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diphenyl-butadiene-1, 3 respectively, the 5-methyl- and the 5,6-dimethyl-11, 12-dihydro-indeno[2.1-a]fluorene are synthesized in 4 steps. The 5, 6-diphenyl-11, 12-dihydro-indeno[2.1-a]fluorene is obtained by reduction of the already known 11, 12-dioxoderivative. Accesorily a new preparation of the unsubstituted hydrocarbon is described.

TL;DR: The couche peripherique de fibroblastes cultives in vitro has been investigated in this paper, where it is shown to perd, en degre variable, sa stabilite and son orientation.
Abstract: Les auteurs ont etudie, au moyen de methodes histochimiques en association avec la reaction topooptique de Romhanyi, la couche peripherique de fibroblastes cultives in vitro. On a demontre qu'elle est formee par des macromolecules proteiques (collagene, vraisemblablement), par de l'acide hyaluronique et par du chondroitinesulfate A et C. En conditions de fortes hyperoxie et hypoxie, la couche peripherique, qui est metachromatique et anisotrope, perd, en degre variable, sa stabilite et son orientation. L'adjonction au milieu de culture d'un flavonoide (HR) ameliore sensiblement la stabilite de la dite couche.

TL;DR: The title compounds, a dioxo (XVIII) and a tetraoxoderivative (VI) of a new diindenoanthracene, were synthesized in several steps (overall yield 35 and 26%, respectively) starting from 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diphenyl-butadiene (1,3).

The corresponding hydrocarbon could not be obtained by reduction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a trioxoderivative of a new biangular diindenofluorene system was synthesized in 5 steps (overall yield 37,5%).
Abstract: Starting from 9-oxo-fluorene-1-carbaldehyde, the title compound, XII, a trioxoderivative of a new biangular diindenofluorene system, has been synthesized in 5 steps (overall yield 37,5%). The corresponding hydrocarbon could not be obtained by reduction of XII. Attempts to synthesize the isomer XX of the trioxoderivative XII are described.


Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the damping coefficient of ion oscillations is generalized to be valid for times comparable with the electron and ion trapping times, and the same damping coefficients are generalized to the case of the ion trap times.
