Abstract The content of trace elements in several organs of rats under the influence of D-penicillamine (D-PA) was investigated by the neutronactivation-analysis. It could be shown an diminution of Cu, and Co under D-PA-treatment, the content of Fe, Mn, Rb and Zn was not influenced. The investigat­ ed organs didn’t show any submicroscopic alterations under D-PA. On isolated collagen fibrils of tail tendon was seen a significantly diminuition of E-moduls. In accordance with Siegel the principal effect of D-PA is thought to block the synthesis of functional groups from Schiff-base crosslink precursors but not to inhibit lysyloxidase by loss of Cu-ions of connective tissue. The thermostability of D-PA influenced fibrils is changed in stretched state only and will be due to the lack of crosslink Schiff-bases; where as the shrinking point of not stretched fibrils shows only aging dependent changes.

The load-strain and stress-relaxation behavior of wet rat tail tendon has been examined with respect to the parameters strain, rate of straining, and temperature. It is found that this mechanical behavior is reproducible after resting the tendon for a few minutes after each extension so long as the strain does not exceed about 4 per cent. If this strain is exceeded, the tendon becomes progressively easier to extend but its length still returns to the original value after each extension. Extensions of over 35 per cent can be reached in this way. Temperature has no effect upon the mechanical behavior over the range 0–37°C. Just above this temperature, important changes take place in the mechanical properties of the tendon which may have biological significance. The application of the techniques used here to studies of connective tissue disorders is suggested. Some of the mechanical properties of tendon have been interpreted with a simple model.

Previously, we have reported on extracellular cross-striated banded structures in human connective tissues of a variety of organs (1). Since then, more material has been examined and other techniques applied. Recently, we studied a fibrocytic meningioma of the falx. After the specimen was fixed in 4% buffered glutaraldehyde and post-fixed in 1% buffered osmium tetroxide, other routine procedures were followed for embedding in Epon 812. Sections were stained with uranyl acetate and lead citrate. There were numerous cross striated banded structures in aggregated bundle forms found in the connecfive tissue of the tumor. The banded material has a periodicity of about 450 Å and where it assumes a filamentous arrangement, appears to be about 800 Å in diameter. In comparison with the vicinal native collagen fibrils, the banded material Is sometimes about twice the diameter of native collagen.

Graphene and graphene oxide (GO) usually have grain boundaries (GBs) in the process of synthesis and preparation. Here, we “attach” GBs into GO, a new molecular configuration i.e., polycrystalline graphene oxide (PGO) is proposed. This paper aims to provide an insight into the stability and mechanical properties of PGO by using the molecular dynamics method. For this purpose, the “bottom-up” multi-structure-spatial design performance of PGO and the physical mechanism associated with the spatial structure in mixed dimensions (combination of sp2 and sp3) were studied. Also, the effect of defect coupling (GBs and functional groups) on the mechanical properties was revealed. Our results demonstrate that the existence of the GBs reduces the mechanical properties of PGO and show an “induction” role during the tensile fracture process. The presence of functional groups converts in-plane sp2 carbon atoms into out-of-plane sp3 hybrid carbons, causing uneven stress distribution. Moreover, the mechanical characteristics of PGO are very sensitive to the oxygen content of functional groups, which decrease with the increase of oxygen content. The weakening degree of epoxy groups is slightly greater than that of hydroxyl groups. Finally, we find that the mechanical properties of PGO will fall to the lowest values due to the defect coupling amplification mechanism when the functional groups are distributed at GBs.

Collagen fibrils present periodic structures, which provide space for intrafibrillar growth of oriented hydroxyapatite nanocrystals in bone and contribute to the good mechanical properties of bone. However, there are not...

Triazole ring system has attracted a continuously growing interest of synthetic organic chemists and those dealing with the medicinal compounds due to its versatile potential to interact with biological systems. Schiff bases are also considered as one of the most biologically active compounds.  The aim of the present study was to synthesize new Schiff bases bearing triazole nucleus and to assess their antimicrobial activities. Four new Schiff base derivatives of 1,2,4-triazole-3-thione were synthesized by combining two different pharmacophores viz. triazole nucleus and Schiff base moiety and were characterized by spectral techniques (UV, FT-IR, and NMR). The Schiff bases were evaluated for antibacterial (Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae) and antifungal (Candida albicans) activities. The synthesized compounds exhibited good to moderate activities against different strains of bacteria and fungi tested.

Condensation of salicylaldehyde with enantiopure (R)-(1-aryl-ethyl)amines yields the enantiopure Schiff bases (R)-N-(1-aryl-ethyl)salicylaldimine (HSB*; aryl = phenyl, 2-methoxyphenyl, 3- methoxyphenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl (4), 4-bromophenyl (5), 2-naphthyl). These Schiff bases readily react with dinuclear (acetato)(η4-cycloocta-1,5-diene)rhodium(I), [Rh(μ-O2CMe)(η4-cod)]2, to afford the mononuclear complexes, cyclooctadiene-((R)-N-(1-aryl-ethyl)salicylaldiminato-κ2N,O)- rhodium(I), [Rh(SB∗)(η4-cod)] (SB* = deprotonated chiral Schiff base = salicylaldiminate; aryl = phenyl (7), 2-methoxyphenyl, 4-methoxyphenyl, 4-bromophenyl, 2-naphthyl). The complexes have been characterized by IR, UV/vis, 1H/13C NMR and mass spectrometry, optical rotation as well as by single-crystal X-ray structure determination for 4, 5 and 7. The structure of 5 shows C-Br· · ·π contacts. Compound 7 is only the second example of a Rh(η4-cod) complex with a six-membered Rh-N,O-chelate ring

The magnetic susceptibilities of some newly syntesized Al(III) and Si(IV) complexes of Schiff bases derived from the condensation of o-hydroxyacetophenone or 2-dydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde with hydroxyalkylamines or diamines have been measured and the data indicate their diamagnetic character.


Because of the increase in the levels of residual elements in steel, a programme of work was initiated to determine the limits of copper and tin impurities that were tolerable in steel castings. A 1.5 % Mn—Mo steel was chosen as a base, since any effect of trace elements would be readily apparent in terms of mechanical performance in this medium—high strength steel. The effect of copper was investigated within the range < 0.01-0.5 %, and tin within the range < 0.01-0.26%. The results were analysed by using factorial analysis in the first instance and later, as the amount of experimental work expanded and more results became available, a regression analysis was used.
