Neuroprotective Effect of PBCA Nanoparticles Delivering pEGFP-BDNF in a Mouse Model of Intracerebral Hemorrhage by Xue Lai, Yu Xiong, Xing Guo, Chunbo Chen

“…Conclusion: PBCA-pEGFP-BDNF NPs improves neurological function in experimental ICH mice at least in part related to increased BDNF expression and decreased p65 NF-κB signaling axis activation, suggesting that PBCA NPs might be a suitable pEGFP-BDNF-carrying delivery system for ICH treatment.…”

4,4-Dichloro-1,3-dithietane-2-one by Tracy R. Thompson, William W. Brennessel, Erik S. Goebel, Matthew J. Turcotte, George Barany

“…The dithietane appears to be a spontaneously formed cyclodimer of thiophosgene in which exactly one (not zero, not both) of the dichloromethylene moieties has been hydrolyzed to a carbonyl function. The relative long-term stability of the hydrolyzed dimer, along with a pathway back to thiophosgene, suggests that it might serve as a storage vehicle for toxic thiophosgene. …”
