Synthesis And Properties Of New Polyamides Based On 4-Phenylenediacrylic Acid And Hydantoin Derivatives In The Main Chain, Khalil Faghihi

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Six new polyamides (5a-f) containing p-phenylenediacrylic and hydantoin moieties in the main chain were prepared by direct polycondensation reaction of 4-phenylenediacrylic acid (3) with 6 different hydantoin derivatives (4a-f) using thionyl chloride and pyridine as condensing agents and N-methyl-2-pyrolidone as solvent. These new polymers (5a-f) were obtained in high yield and inherent viscosity between 0.35-0.55 dL/g. The resulting polyamides were characterized by elemental analysis, viscosity measurements, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA and DTG), solubility test, and FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopy. 4-Phenylenediacrylic acid (3) was prepared by the reaction of terephthal aldehyde (1) with malonic acid (2) in the presence of pyridine.

The Nickel Hyperaccumulating Plants Of The Serpentines Of Turkey And Adjacent Areas: A Review With New Data, Roger D. Reeves, Nezaket Adigüzel

Turkish Journal of Biology

Botanical exploration of serpentine soils in Turkey and neighbouring countries has shown that the region includes at least 59 taxa capable of hyperaccumulating nickel (to >0.1% of plant dry weight). These hyperaccumulators belong to the Brassicaceae (Aethionema R.Br., Alyssum L., Bornmuellera Hausskn., Pseudosempervivum (Boiss.) Grossh. (Cochlearia L.), and Thlaspi L. s.l.) and the Asteraceae (Centaurea L.). We review present knowledge of the hyperaccumulators and provide additional data recently obtained. Some species are serpentine-endemic and invariably Ni hyperaccumulating; others show more complex distribution and Ni-accumulating behaviour. Many are good subjects for biochemical studies on the Ni-accumulation and sequestering processes. There is …

The Effects Of Mistletoe (Viscum Album L. Subsp. Album) Extracts On Isolated Intestinal Contractions, Alper Karakaş, Erdi̇nç Seri̇n, Bülent Gündüz, Arzu Uçar Türker Jan 2008

The Effects Of Mistletoe (Viscum Album L. Subsp. Album) Extracts On Isolated Intestinal Contractions, Alper Karakaş, Erdi̇nç Seri̇n, Bülent Gündüz, Arzu Uçar Türker

Turkish Journal of Biology

Throughout history folk medicine has served as an alternative or complimentary method of treating disorders like intestinal colic. Mistletoe is a common name for many species of semi-parasitic plants that grow on trees throughout the world, and has been used widely to treat intestinal colic. We conducted a study to evaluate the effect of freeze-dried (group 1) and heat-treated (group 2) extracts of Viscum album subsp. album leaves on contractions induced by acetylcholine in isolated hamster intestinal segments (duodenum, jejunum, and ileum). Freeze-dried extracts decreased intestinal contractions in all the intestinal segments (P < 0.05). The strongest relaxant effect was observed in the jejunum and the weakest was seen in the duodenum. Higher doses of heat-treated extracts were required to affect segmental contractions than that of freeze-dried extracts (P < 0.05); heat-treated extracts had the greatest effect on reducing contractions in the jejunum and the least effect in the duodenum. Mistletoe extracts affected the level of contractions in a dose- and extraction preparation-dependent manner. The results of this study show that mistletoe extracts could be effective against intestinal motility problems and that they have potential use as a therapeutic remedy for intestinal colic.

Turkish Journal of Biology

The total micronucleus (MN) assay has been used for purposes of biological dosimetry for many years. The variable spontaneous incidence of micronuclei in peripheral blood lymphocytes affects the sensitivity of biological dose estimations at low doses. It has been suggested that this problem could be solved by using the micronuclei-centromere assay. In this study, Co-60 gamma ray dose response curves for micronuclei (MN) and micronuclei without centromeres (MNC-) in the range of 0-5.0 Gy were established using a pancentromeric FISH probe on cultured binucleate lymphocytes from 2 donors. There were no significant inter-donor differences in the dose responses for either …
