Abstract:
Disclosed are adducts of boric acid and chitosan wherein the amino groups of the D-glucosamine units are bonded to residues of polyol or alditol oligosaccharides, the molar ratio between boric acid and the repeating chitosan unit ranging between 0.001 and 4.
Abstract:
The invention relates to aptamer oligonucleotide having a GT sequence, and derivatives thereof, having a well-defined length, and their use as antitumor agents alone or in association with antitumor agents currently in therapeutic use. The oligonucleotide according to the invention may, in addition to a therapeutic use, have a diagnostic use in that it is capable of detecting proteins of the eEF1A family.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a dimethylsulphoxide and limonene based paint stripping composition, preferably thickened by adding a thickener of cellulose type, and to a device for its application, formed from an absorbent layer in which the composition is included and a support layer. The device is suitable for a method of paint stripping by peeling.
Abstract:
A method for estimating the amount of carbohydrates needed by a DP-1 during a specific session of physical activity, comprises the following steps: definining of working constants and standard parameters; introducing of patient and therapy specific parameters; calculating of patient specific reference curves for a percentage carbohydrates consumption (%CHO); scheduling a training session; estimating the amount of carbohydrates (CHO) to be eaten before said physical activity; updating in real time the residual carbohydrates still available during said physical activity; and estimating the amount of carbohydrates to be restored after said physical activity.
Abstract:
The present invention describes a method for the preparation of carbon nanotube rings starting from commercial carbon nanotubes by means of organic chemical reactions. The method provides formation of rings from any kind of carbon nanotubes. The nanotube rings obtained possess unique magnetic properties and can be used in a variety of ways in electronic circuits.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a family of Pd(II)-based catalysts of general formula (I) reproduced below for use in the production of olefin/polar vinyl monomer copolymers and olefin homopolymers. The invention also refers to ligands that are intermediates in the synthesis of the catalysts, to the process for the synthesis of homo- and copolymers using these catalysts, and to the homo- and copolymers thus obtained.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns the preparation of chemically modified derivatives of chitosan with acrylic groups and their use in the field of enamel-dentin adhesives. Chitosan derivatives have physical-chemical features (hydrophilicity, presence of electrical charges on the chain) which allow them to interact with the organic part of the demineralized tooth. At the same time, the acrylic groups incorporated in the polymer chain allow the formation of a covalent bond with the restorative material used in the dental field that is typically composed of acrylic resins. By combining the adhesion to the tooth surface and the bond with the restorative material, the chemically modified chitosan described herein is able to increase the lifespan of the dental restoration and can thus find use in the field of adhesives, in particular enamel-dentin adhesives.
