Derivatives of phosphazene 3 bearing sterically unencumbered N-substitutents readily dimerize to form the corresponding cyclodiphosphazanes; compounds with sterically demanding N-substituents are interconvertible between their monomeric and dimeric forms. The enhanced electrophilicity of the phosphorus center in nontrigonal phosphazenes 3 and 4 is rationalized by DFT calculations. Gas phase fluoride ion affinities are computed to be markedly higher for distorted phosphazenes, while proton affinities are largely unaffected by geometric distortion. These results are interpreted to suggest that distortion from pseudotetrahedral geometry results in stabilization of the P-based LUMO, while HOMO energies are essentially unchanged.

Project description:Constraint-induced movement therapy after cerebral ischemia stimulates axonal growth by decreasing expression levels of Nogo-A, RhoA, and Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) in the ischemic boundary zone. However, it remains unclear if there are any associations between the Nogo-A/RhoA/ROCK pathway and angiogenesis in adult rat brains in pathological processes such as ischemic stroke. In addition, it has not yet been reported whether constraint-induced movement therapy can promote angiogenesis in stroke in adult rats by overcoming Nogo-A/RhoA/ROCK signaling. Here, a stroke model was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion and reperfusion. Seven days after stroke, the following treatments were initiated and continued for 3 weeks: forced limb use in constraint-induced movement therapy rats (constraint-induced movement therapy group), intraperitoneal infusion of fasudil (a ROCK inhibitor) in fasudil rats (fasudil group), or lateral ventricular injection of NEP1-40 (a specific antagonist of the Nogo-66 receptor) in NEP1-40 rats (NEP1-40 group). Immunohistochemistry and western blot assay results showed that, at 2 weeks after middle cerebral artery occlusion, expression levels of RhoA and ROCK were lower in the ischemic boundary zone in rats treated with NEP1-40 compared with rats treated with ischemia/reperfusion or constraint-induced movement therapy alone. However, at 4 weeks after middle cerebral artery occlusion, expression levels of RhoA and ROCK in the ischemic boundary zone were markedly decreased in the NEP1-40 and constraint-induced movement therapy groups, but there was no difference between these two groups. Compared with the ischemia/reperfusion group, modified neurological severity scores and foot fault scores were lower and time taken to locate the platform was shorter in the constraint-induced movement therapy and fasudil groups at 4 weeks after middle cerebral artery occlusion, especially in the constraint-induced movement therapy group. Immunofluorescent staining demonstrated that fasudil promoted an immune response of nerve-regeneration-related markers (BrdU in combination with CD31 (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule), Nestin, doublecortin, NeuN, and glial fibrillary acidic protein) in the subventricular zone and ischemic boundary zone ipsilateral to the infarct. After 3 weeks of constraint-induced movement therapy, the number of regenerated nerve cells was noticeably increased, and was accompanied by an increased immune response of tight junctions (claudin-5), a pericyte marker (α-smooth muscle actin), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2. Taken together, the results demonstrate that, compared with fasudil, constraint-induced movement therapy led to stronger angiogenesis and nerve regeneration ability and better nerve functional recovery at 4 weeks after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. In addition, constraint-induced movement therapy has the same degree of inhibition of RhoA and ROCK as NEP1-40. Therefore, constraint-induced movement therapy promotes angiogenesis and neurogenesis after cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury, at least in part by overcoming the Nogo-A/RhoA/ROCK signaling pathway. All protocols were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee of China Medical University, China on December 9, 2015 (approval No. 2015PS326K).

Project description:Understanding how trees respond to global change drivers is central to predict changes in forest structure and functions. Although there is evidence on the mode of nitrogen (N) and drought (D) effects on tree growth, our understanding of the interplay of these factors is still limited. Simultaneously, as mixtures are expected to be less sensitive to global change as compared to monocultures, we aimed to investigate the combined effects of N addition and D on the productivity of three tree species (Fagus sylvatica, Quercus petraea, Pseudotsuga menziesii) in relation to functional diverse species mixtures using data from a 4-year field experiment in Northwest Germany. Here we show that species mixing can mitigate the negative effects of combined N fertilization and D events, but the community response is mainly driven by the combination of certain traits rather than the tree species richness of a community. For beech, we found that negative effects of D on growth rates were amplified by N fertilization (i.e., combined treatment effects were non-additive), while for oak and fir, the simultaneous effects of N and D were additive. Beech and oak were identified as most sensitive to combined N+D effects with a strong size-dependency observed for beech, suggesting that the negative impact of N+D becomes stronger with time as beech grows larger. As a consequence, the net biodiversity effect declined at the community level, which can be mainly assigned to a distinct loss of complementarity in beech-oak mixtures. This pattern, however, was not evident in the other species-mixtures, indicating that neighborhood composition (i.e., trait combination), but not tree species richness mediated the relationship between tree diversity and treatment effects on tree growth. Our findings point to the importance of the qualitative role ('trait portfolio') that biodiversity play in determining resistance of diverse tree communities to environmental changes. As such, they provide further understanding for adaptive management strategies in the context of global change.
