Ultrasound assisted eco-friendly synthesis of 3-cinnamoyl coumarins using N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(2-aminobenzamide) dichloro cobalt immobilized on mesoporous Al-SBA-15 as a new and recyclable catalyst

ABSTRACT

A novel mesoporous Al-SBA-15 modified by N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(2-aminobenzamide) dichloro cobalt has been prepared and applied as a reusable catalyst in the 3-cinnamoyl coumarins synthesis via three-component reaction between benzaldehydes, salicylaldehydes and ethyl acetoacetate by the assist of ultrasonic irradiation. By using of the nanocatalyst and also ultrasound irradiation, the easiness and velocity of the abovementioned reaction were enhanced and an environment friendly condition was provided to synthesis of various 3-cinnamoyl coumarin compounds. The properties and structure of nanocatalyst have been specified by methods including powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nitrogen adsorption–desorption analysis and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Superiority of this novel and viable method is due to mild reaction condition, short reaction times, high yields of 3-cinnamoyl coumarins, environmentally benign, recoverability of the CoCl₂N,N'-(1,2-phenylene)bis(2-aminobenzamide)/Al-SBA-15 catalyst and reusability with important preservation in its catalytic activity.     

Electromyography Activity of Vastus Medialis Obliquus and Vastus Lateralis Muscles During Lower Limb Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation Patterns in Individuals with and without Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome

Objective: Exercise therapy to strengthen quadriceps muscle is recommended in rehabilitation program for people with patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). This study aimed to investigate the electromyography (EMG) activity of vastus medialis obliquus (VMO), vastus lateralis (VL) and VMO/VL ratio during PNF in individuals with and without PFPS. Methods: 26 persons with PFPS and 26 healthy subjects participated to study. All subjects performed PNF patterns (Flexion-Adduction-External Rotation (D₁FL), Extension-Adduction-External Rotation (D₂EX), D₁FL+ load, D₂EX+ load) and straight leg raise (SLR). The normalized EMG activity of VMO, VL and VMO/VL ratio were measured and analyzed using repeated measure ANOVA. Results: There were significant main effects of group and exercises for the both VMO and VL (p<0.05). It was found that except SLR and D₂EX, in the other motions PFPS group had lower VMO activity compared to healthy group (p<0.05). For VL except SLR, in the other motions PFPS group had lower VL activity too (p<0.05). The PNF patterns activated VMO more than SLR, however it was not significant (p>0.05). Also; there weren''t any significant difference between the two groups in VMO/VL activation ratios. Also, performing the PNF patterns with load increased VMO and VL muscles activity significantly (p<0.05). It also found that in PFPS group the VMO/VL ratio values in PNF patterns were significantly more than SLR and the highest VMO/VL ratio value (0.96) was found during D₂EX. Conclusion: The PNF patterns due to provide optimal VMO/VL ratio value than SLR and proper balance between these two muscles can be recommended in rehabilitation of individuals with PFPS.     

超声波燃气表矩形流道的雷诺修正系数仿真研究

在超声波流量计测量技术中, 雷诺修正系数相关的研究对于提高计量精度有重要作用. 为研究矩形流道的雷诺修正系数与雷诺数的关系, 对矩形流道在常温常压流量较小情况下进行仿真, 结果发现: 矩形流道层流状态下的雷诺修正系数与雷诺数呈线性相关. 保持压强、体积流量不变, 在不同温度下进行仿真及拟合, 结果表明: 在不同温度下雷诺修正系数与雷诺数的线性关系依然满足. 在上述实验基础上, 对矩形流道湍流状态下的雷诺修正系数与雷诺数关系进行研究, 通过改变温度、压强和体积流量进行仿真及拟合发现, 矩形流道湍流状态下雷诺修正系数与雷诺数呈非线性相关.

Polymyxin B Combined with Minocycline: A Potentially Effective Combination against blaOXA-23-harboring CRAB in In Vitro PK/PD Model

Polymyxin-based combination therapy is commonly used to treat carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) infections. In the present study, the bactericidal effect of polymyxin B and minocycline combination was tested in three CRAB strains containing bla_OXA-23 by the checkerboard assay and in vitro dynamic pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) model. The combination showed synergistic or partial synergistic effect (fractional inhibitory concentration index ≤0.56) on the tested strains in checkboard assays. The antibacterial activity was enhanced in the combination group compared with either monotherapy in in vitro PK/PD model. The combination regimen (simultaneous infusion of 0.75 mg/kg polymyxin B and 100 mg minocycline via 2 h infusion) reduced bacterial colony counts by 0.9–3.5 log₁₀ colony forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) compared with either drug alone at 24 h. In conclusion, 0.75 mg/kg polymyxin B combined with 100 mg minocycline via 2 h infusion could be a promising treatment option for CRAB bloodstream infections.
