NEUROINFLAMMATION IN CRITICAL CARE: MECHANISMS AND PROTECTIVE ROLE OF HYPOTHERMIA by Evgeniy V. Grigoriev, Dmitriy L. Shukevich, Georgiy P. Plotnikov, Maria V. Khutornaya, Anna V. Tsepokina, Artem S. Radivilko

“…Expression of inflammatory genes, glial activation, release of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines, and activation of cell adhesion molecules can be induced by both focal and diffuse brain injury. Therapeutic hypothermia is now considered as an efficient way to control neuroinflammation, normalize neurovascular units, reduce expression of cell adhesion molecules, stabilize extracellular matrix, and adjust cytokine response. …”

Transition metal doped TiO2: physical properties and photocatalytic behaviour by A. Di Paola, S. Ikeda, G. Marcì, B. Ohtani, L. Palmisano

“…In particular, the TiO2/Cu powders showed to be more photoactive of bare TiO2 for the ethanoic acid oxidation while the TiO2/W samples were more efficient for 4-nitrophenol degradation. A tentative interpretation is provided on the basis of the values of the points of zero charge of the powders and of the rate constants of recombination of photogenerated electrons and holes, determined by femtosecond pump-probe diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (PP-DRS).…”

Chemical and Photometric Evolution Models for Disk, Irregular, and Low Mass Galaxies by Mercedes Mollá

“…We summarize the updated set of multiphase chemical evolution models performed with 44 theoretical radial mass initial distributions and 10 possible values of efficiencies to form molecular clouds and stars. We present the results about the infall rate histories, the formation of the disk, and the evolution of the radial distributions of diffuse and molecular gas surface density, stellar profile, star formation rate surface density, and elemental abundances of C, N, O, and Fe, finding that the radial gradients for these elements begin steeper and flatten with increasing time or decreasing redshift, although the outer disks always show a certain flattening for all times. …”
