These are able to initiate the polymerization of styrene and the polystyrene anions in turn initiate the polymerization of the first two monomers; for the pairs vinylpyridine-styrene and 1,2-dihydronaphthalene-styrene it is possible to obtain copolymers with a great number of alternating sequences....
From dialysis equilibrium and viscosity measurements, it has been established that, whatever the respective lengths of the sequences are, these stable systems consist of a dispersed “phase” — containing the compolymer molecules — surrounded by an continuous “phase”. Both “phases” are ...

The reaction of alkali metals with tertiary alkyl nitriles eventually gives, after protonation, an imine. α-tert-Alkylketones are produced by the hydrolysis of these imines. This reaction, involving radical anion intermediates, is a simple method for the synthesis of highly hindered symmetric ...

Objective Upper urinary tract urothelial cell carcinomas (UUT-UCCs) are rare but usually invasive at diagnosis. Early diagnosis of UUT-UCCs is thus warranted. UUT has the same embryological origin with bladder and BLCA-4 is a highly sensitive and specific marker for bladder cancer. We intend ...

Evidence from RCTs was weak for elemental, low- or modified-fat, fibre and low-lactose interventions with 1/4, 3/4, 1/2, 0/1 trials respectively reporting favourable outcomes. Evidence for probiotics as prophylactic interventions was more promising (4/5 favoura...
Our results indicate that the combination of ATRA, a drug already in use in the clinic for acute promyelocytic leukaemia, with IM-type tyrosine kinase inhibitors may significantly enhance the efficacy of the anti-leukaemic treatment of de n...
