Effect of an inhaled glucocorticoid on reactive oxygen species production by bronchoalveolar lavage cells from smoking COPD patients by Gert T. Verhoeven, Annemarie J.M. Wijkhuijs, Herbert Hooijkaas, Henk C. Hoogsteden, Wim Sluiter

“…We concluded that a potent inhaled glucocorticoid had no effect on the ROS production capability of BAL cells from smoking COPD patients. Apparently, heavy smoking impaired the ability of alveolar macrophages to produce ROS, which was not further decreased by FP.…”

Effects of Splenectomy on Spontaneously Chronic Pancreatitis in aly/aly Mice by Heng-Xiao Wang, Shuang-Qin Yi, Jun Li, Hayato Terayama, Munekazu Naito, Shuichi Hirai, Ning Qu, Nozomi Yi, Masahiro Itoh

“…Our results showed that mononuclear cell infiltration was restricted to the interlobular connective tissues at the age of 20 weeks, and not increase obviously at the age of 30 and 40 weeks in splenectomized aly/aly mice. Furthermore, an apparent decrease in the expressions of CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and B cells was detected in the pancreatic tissues compared with sham aly/aly mice, however, no significant difference in macrophage expression between mice with and without a splenectomy. …”

Effect of water vapor on the reduction kinetics of hematite powder by hydrogen-water vapor in different stages by Mao X.-D., Hu X.-J., Fan Y.-W., Chou K-.C.

“…Various models were considered to further clarify the influence of water vapor in the reduction stage The range of apparent activation energy of the different stages obtained by the model fitting was about 20-70 kJ/mol, which also confirmed the absence of the solid-state diffusion phenomenon.…”

Measuring the Cytochrome c Nitrite Reductase Activity—Practical Considerations on the Enzyme Assays by Célia M. Silveira, Stéphane Besson, Isabel Moura, José J. G. Moura, M. Gabriela Almeida

“…Due to the fast kinetics of ccNiR, electron delivering from reduced electron donors is rate-limiting in all spectrophotometric assays, so the estimated kinetic constants are apparent only. Nevertheless, this limitation could be overcome by using a direct electrochemical approach which shows that the binding affinity for nitrite decreases whilst turnover increases with the reductive driving force.…”
