    Abstract The goals of this work are the evaluation of the performances of official methods in the challenging determination of Cr(VI) in Cr(III)-rich particulate matter, and the development of a novel and robust analytical protocol for this issue. A liquid chromatography inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry apparatus (LC-ICP-MS), together with an isotope-enriched spike addition technique, was used to allow the study of Cr(III)/Cr(VI) interconversions during the extraction step. An original separation strategy based on Cr(OH)

    Abstract Purpose: Heterotopic ossification (HO) formed over the major components and fixation screw heads of an alloplastic temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR) prosthesis can result in decreased quality of life, limited function, prosthesis failure, and hinder prosthesis revision, replacement, or removal. This study simulated HO removal from the major components and fixation screw heads of alloplastic TMJR prostheses using an erbium, chromium-doped yttrium, scandium, gallium, and garnet (Er,Cr:YSGG) laser and compared the results to conventional methods of HO removal. The surface morphology and chemical structure of the exposed components were analyzed. The investigators hypothesize that HO removal with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser causes less damage to TMJR prosthesis components compared to conventional HO removal methods.
    Methods: This multiple test descriptive analysis simulated HO removal from TMJR prostheses mounted to stereolithic models. Simulated HO removal was completed using a novel Er,Cr:YSGG laser method and conventional methods which utilized a fissure carbide bur in a high-speed rotary instrument, a standard osteotome, and an ultrasonic aspirator. Surfaces exposed on the TMJR prostheses were analyzed for morphological or chemical change using scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy.
    Results: The Er,Cr:YSGG laser did not adversely affect the titanium screws or titanium components of the TMJR prostheses, while conventional methods of HO removal did. HO removal using the Er,Cr:YSGG laser and conventional methods both inflicted surface damage to the fossa ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene component of the TMJR prostheses.
    Conclusion: Damage inflicted to titanium alloy or commercially pure titanium components of TMJR prostheses by conventional HO removal methods can be avoided by instead removing HO with an Er,Cr:YSGG laser. However, long exposure of the Er,Cr:YSGG laser to ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene surfaces should be avoided. Additional research to expand on applications to other procedures and in other surgical fields is encouraged.

    Abstract A metal-organic framework (MOF)-based catalyst, chromium hydroxide/MIL-101(Cr), was prepared by a one-pot synthesis method. The combination of chromium hydroxide particles on and within Lewis acidic MIL-101 accomplishes highly selective conversion of glucose to fructose in the presence of ethanol, matching the performance of optimized Sn-containing Lewis acidic zeolites. Differently from zeolites, NMR spectroscopy studies with isotopically labeled molecules demonstrate that isomerization of glucose to fructose on this catalyst, proceeds predominantly via a proton transfer mechanism.

    Abstract Catalytic steam reforming of propylene, benzene and toluene was investigated over Mn-Cr-O spinel oxides with different stoichiometry. The catalysts were structurally stable during reforming conditions except for Mn₃O₄, which reduced in situ to MnO. The Cr₂O₃ catalyst showed the highest initial rate for propylene reforming, whereas the Mn-rich Mn₁.₅Cr₁.₅O₄ spinel was the most active and stable catalyst for aromatic reforming. Reforming rates of olefins and aromatics were comparable under 0.05 bar hydrocarbon and 0.40 bar steam at 873 K. The reforming rate of olefins and aromatics was first order in hydrocarbon and slightly inhibited by H₂O, which is consistent with a Mars-van Krevelen type mechanism. Of the hydrocarbons investigated, only the rate of toluene reforming was negative first order in excess H₂. Results from diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy of adsorbed toluene on a spinel catalyst suggest that H₂ inhibits the rapid oxidation of the methyl group of toluene.

    Abstract B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) is an antiapoptotic protein known to be important in the regulation of apoptosis in various cell types. However, its role in malignant transformation and tumorigenesis of human lung cells is not well understood. We previously reported that chronic exposure of human lung epithelial cells to the carcinogenic hexavalent chromium Cr(VI) caused malignant transformation and Bcl-2 upregulation; however, the role of Bcl-2 in the transformation is unclear. Using a gene silencing approach, we showed that Bcl-2 plays an important role in the malignant properties of Cr(VI)-transformed cells. Downregulation of Bcl-2 inhibited the invasive and proliferative properties of the cells as well as their colony forming and angiogenic activities, which are upregulated in the transformed cells as compared to control cells. Furthermore, animal studies showed the inhibitory effect of Bcl-2 knockdown on the tumorigenesis of Cr(VI)-transformed cells. The role of Bcl-2 in malignant transformation and tumorigenesis was confirmed by gene silencing experiments using human lung carcinoma NCI-H460 cells. These cells exhibited aggressive malignant phenotypes similar to those of Cr(VI)-transformed cells. Knockdown of Bcl-2 in the H460 cells inhibited malignant and tumorigenic properties of the cells, indicating the general role of Bcl-2 in human lung tumorigenesis. Ingenuity Pathways Analysis (IPA) revealed potential effectors of Bcl-2 in tumorigenesis regulation. Additionally, using IPA together with ectopic expression of p53, we show p53 as an upstream regulator of Bcl-2 in Cr(VI)-transformed cells. Together, our results indicate the novel and multifunctional role of Bcl-2 in malignant transformation and tumorigenesis of human lung epithelial cells chronically exposed to Cr(VI).

    Abstract Room-temperature laser action from Cr(2+)-doped Cd(0.85)Mn(0.15)Te has been demonstrated for what is believed to be the first time. We achieved pulsed laser operation centered at ~2.5mu m by pumping into the mid-infrared absorption band of Cr(2+) ions by use of the 1.907- mum output of a H(2) Raman-shifted Nd:YAG laser. The output of the free-running Cr(2+):Cd(0.85)Mn(0.15)Te laser had a width of ~50 nm (FWHM), and the slope efficiency was calculated to be 5.5% under nonoptimum conditions.

    Abstract The gastrointestinal transit and systemic absorption of Sinemet CR (50/200) and standard Sinemet (25/100) have been studied in fasting and "fed" healthy human subjects. Both formulations were labeled with a gamma-emitting radionuclide, and their gastric emptying, colon arrival, and in vivo dissolution profiles were monitored using gamma scintigraphy. The standard dosage forms were found to disperse soon after administration and to empty rapidly from both the fasting and the "fed" stomach. The erosion of the controlled-release (CR) system was independent of food. Dosing after a light breakfast altered the gastric emptying profile of the CR formulation and led to significant differences in the plasma levels of levodopa.
