Although the roles of AA and eicosanoids in cellular viability, the processes of inflammation and cancer cell development have been extensively studied, the function of cPLA2α in the processes of inflammation and cancer cell development is not clear. This review summarizes published evidences for the biochemical properties and regulatory mechanisms of cPLA2α. The potential for use of cPLA2α as a novel diagnostic target and predictive biomarker for tumors is also discussed.展开更多
Four new complexes of rare earths with a triaza crown ether (L) derived from N 3O 2 macro cycle 1,12,15 triaza 3, 4: 9,10 dibenzo 5, 8 dioxacycloheptadecane were synthesized and characterized by elemental ana...Four new complexes of rare earths with a triaza crown ether (L) derived from N 3O 2 macro cycle 1,12,15 triaza 3, 4: 9,10 dibenzo 5, 8 dioxacycloheptadecane were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, molar conductance, TG DTA analysis and fluorescence spectra. The composition of the complexes determined as [RE(NO 3) 3L·3H 2O]·H 2O (RE=Sm, Eu, Tb and Dy). It is found that Sm 3+ , Eu 3+ , Tb 3+ and Dy 3+ complexes all show strong fluorescence emission in the solid state. Among these complexes, Tb 3+ complex has the strongest luminescence intensity. It shows that the ligand L triplet state energy matches 5D 4 energy level of Tb 3+ . In the Eu 3+ complex, η ( 5D 0→ 7F 2/ 5D 0→ 7F 1) is 2.6, which indicates that Eu 3+ locates at the asymmetric coordination field.展开更多
