Determination of Catalyst Surface Acidity in Liquids by a Pulse Liquid Chromatographic Technique by Paolo Carniti, Antonella Gervasini, Serena Biella

“…Dosed amounts of solutions of two different basic probe molecules (2-phenylethylamine, pK a = 9.84 and aniline, pK a = 4.63) in solvents of different polarity were injected onto solid samples (acidic resins, Amberlites and a mixed silica–zirconia oxide) at a constant solvent flow rate. Titration with the weakest basic probe (aniline) rather than 2-phenylethylamine generally led to a lower amount of acidic sites. …”

Rooperol, an inhibitor of cytokine synthesis, decreases the respiratory burst in human and rat leukocytes and macrophages by A. Guzdek, B. Turyna, A. C. Allison, K. Sladek, A. Koj

“…The effective concentrations of rooperol were in the range of 1-10 μM depending on cell type and corresponded well with inhibition of nitric oxide production by rat alveolar macrophages. Thus rooperol may reduce some effects of excessive phagocytic activity and inflammatory reaction but by quenching free radicals production may also diminish the resistance to bacterial infections.…”

Update on Clinical Inflammometry for the Management of Airway Diseases by Parameswaran Nair

“…Quantitative cell counts in sputum and the fraction of exhaled nitric oxide are the most validated tests. Judicious use of currently available drugs, such as corticosteroids, bronchodilators and antibiotics, and other anti-inflammatory therapies guided by sputum eosinophil and neutrophil counts, have been demonstrated to decrease exacerbations of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, ameliorate cough, improve quality of life in patients with these diseases and is cost effective compared with treatment strategies based on guidelines that do not incorporate these measurements. …”
