Compound 3a displayed normal fluorescence in the amide form in toluene and MeCN and no response to metal cations in the corresponding amidate ion form. In contrast, compound 3b gave off dual emission assignable to normal and ESIPT fluorescence. Additionally, the amidate form of compound 3b displayed off-on fluorescence response to Ca2+. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WangLei en-aut-sei=Wang en-aut-mei=Lei kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FujiiMayu en-aut-sei=Fujii en-aut-mei=Mayu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=NambaMisa en-aut-sei=Namba en-aut-mei=Misa kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamajiMinoru en-aut-sei=Yamaji en-aut-mei=Minoru kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=OkamotoHideki en-aut-sei=Okamoto en-aut-mei=Hideki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Division of Earth, Life, and Molecular Sciences, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Division of Earth, Life, and Molecular Sciences, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Division of Earth, Life, and Molecular Sciences, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Division of Molecular Science, Graduate School of Science and Engineering, Gunma University kn-affil= affil-num=5 en-affil=Division of Earth, Life, and Molecular Sciences, Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Fluorescence kn-keyword=Fluorescence en-keyword=ESIPT kn-keyword=ESIPT en-keyword=Naphthalimide kn-keyword=Naphthalimide en-keyword=Ca2+ probe kn-keyword=Ca2+ probe END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=60 cd-vols= no-issue=24 article-no= start-page=1562 end-page=1565 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=20190613 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Efficient and practical synthesis of N-acetyl enamides from ketoximes by unique iron catalytic system en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= A new procedure for the iron-catalyzed synthesis of enamides from ketoximes was developed, and its mechanism was proposed. A unique reduction system, with the concerted use of KI and Na2S2O4, was involved. The reaction exhibited a wide substrate scope and gave good yields in a short reaction time. The procedure is operationally simple and also applicable for the large-scale synthesis. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=Kunishige Takahiro en-aut-sei=Kunishige en-aut-mei= Takahiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=Sawada Daisuke en-aut-sei=Sawada en-aut-mei= Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=Ketoxime kn-keyword=Ketoxime en-keyword=Enamide synthesis kn-keyword=Enamide synthesis en-keyword=Iron catalyst kn-keyword=Iron catalyst en-keyword=One-electron reduction kn-keyword=One-electron reduction END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=98 cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page=38 end-page=46 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2019 dt-pub=20190228 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Hyperoxia reduces salivary secretion by inducing oxidative stress in mice en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of prolonged hyperoxia on salivary glands and salivary secretion in mice.
DESIGN:
Male C57BL/6?J mice were kept in a 75% oxygen chamber (hyperoxia group) or a 21% oxygen chamber for 5 days. We measured the secretion volume, protein concentration, and amylase activity of saliva after the injection of pilocarpine. In addition, we evaluated the histological changes induced in the submandibular glands using hematoxylin and eosin and Alcian blue staining and assessed apoptotic changes using the TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. We also compared the submandibular gland expression levels of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), superoxide dismutase (SOD)-1, and SOD-2 using the real-time polymerase chain reaction.
RESULTS:
In the hyperoxia group, salivary secretion was significantly inhibited at 5 and 10?min after the injection of pilocarpine, and the total salivary secretion volume was significantly decreased. The salivary protein concentration and amylase activity were also significantly higher in the hyperoxia group. In the histological examinations, enlargement of the mucous acini and the accumulation of mucins were observed in the submandibular region in the hyperoxia group, and the number of TUNEL-positive cells was also significantly increased in the hyperoxia group. Moreover, the expression levels of HO-1, SOD-1, and SOD-2 were significantly higher in the hyperoxia group.
CONCLUSION:
Our results suggest that hyperoxia reduces salivary secretion, and oxidative stress reactions might be involved in this. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=TajiriAyako en-aut-sei=Tajiri en-aut-mei=Ayako kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HiguchiHitoshi en-aut-sei=Higuchi en-aut-mei=Hitoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=MiyawakiTakuya en-aut-sei=Miyawaki en-aut-mei=Takuya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Department of Dental Anesthesiology and Special Care Dentistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Department of Dental Anesthesiology, Okayama University Hospital kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Department of Dental Anesthesiology and Special Care Dentistry, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences kn-affil= en-keyword=Hyperoxia kn-keyword=Hyperoxia en-keyword=Hyposalivation kn-keyword=Hyposalivation en-keyword=Oxidative stress kn-keyword=Oxidative stress en-keyword=Saliva kn-keyword=Saliva END
