    A possible mechanism of superconductivity in high-T-c cuprates

    No full text
    This paper derives a generic T-c formula by using the long-range phase coherence condition in quantum phase fluctuation of the order parameter. Taking the two-local-spin-mediated interaction (TLSMI) proposed by Liu and Chen [Phys. Rev. B 58 (1998) 8812] as a Cooper pair potential, and the T-c formula, this paper explains five basic experimental facts in high-T-c cuprates. The aim of this paper is to show that TLSMI is a possible pairing mechanism of superconductivity in high-T-c cuprates. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

    Insertion of phenylchlorocarbenes in the C-H bonds of alkanes: measurement of the rate constants by laser flash photolysis

    No full text
    Phenylchlorocarbenes, produced by photolysis of the parent diazirines, have a very limited lifetime in alkane solvents. The rate of disappearance of p-methyl- and p-chlorophenylchlorocarbenes has been measured in iso-octane, cyclohexane and n-hexane as well as in benzene for comparison. The rate constants of several processes (dimerization, addition to the diazirine, reaction with the solvent, etc. ) contributing to the disappearance of the phenylchlorocarbenes have been determined. The rate of reaction with the solvent, which is much lower in benzene than in alkanes and depends strongly on the nature of the alkane, is assumed to be an insertion of the carbene in the C-H bonds of the solvent. Consequences of this reaction on the chemistry of carbenes produced by continuous irradiation (or thermolysis) of diazirines in alkanes are briefly discussed.PT: J; CR: BENSASSON R, 1971, T FARADAY SOC, V67, P1904 BONNEAU R, 1986, NOUV J CHIM, V10, P425 BONNEAU R, 1991, PURE APPL CHEM, V63, P289 DOYLE MP, 1988, TETRAHEDRON LETT, V29, P5863 GOULD IR, 1985, TETRAHEDRON, V41, P1587 GRAHAM WH, 1965, J AM CHEM SOC, V87, P4396 LIU MTH, 1987, CHEM DIAZIRINES LIU MTH, 1990, J CHEM SOC CHEM COMM, P1482 LIU MTH, 1992, J AM CHEM SOC, V114, P3604 LIU MTH, 1992, J ORG CHEM, V57, P2483 LIU MTH, 1992, J PHOTOCH PHOTOBIO A, V63, P115 LUTZ H, 1973, J PHYS CHEM-US, V77, P1758 MORGAN S, 1991, J AM CHEM SOC, V113, P2782 MOSS RA, 1990, J AM CHEM SOC, V112, P5642 MOSS RA, 1990, KINETICS SPECTROSCOP; NR: 15; TC: 11; J9: J PHOTOCHEM PHOTOBIOL A-CHEM; PG: 10; GA: JQ196Source type: Electronic(1

    A nonspectroscopic method to determine the photolytic decomposition pathways of 3-chloro-3-alkyldiazirine: Carbene, diazo and rearrangement in excited state

    No full text
    C-60 acts as a mechanistic probe for the formation of carbene, diazo compound, and for the rearranged product via the excited state in the photolysis of 3-chloro-3-isopropyldiazirine and 3-chloro-3-chloromethyldiazirine. The carbene adds to C-60 to form methanofullerene, whereas the diazo compound adds to C-60 to form fulleroid. The olefin product arises as a result of the rearrangement in the excited state.PT: J; CR: AKASAKA T, 1999, J ORG CHEM, V64, P566 AKASAKA T, 1999, ORG LETT, V1, P1509 AKASAKA T, 2000, J AM CHEM SOC, V122, P7134 ARENAS JF, 2002, J AM CHEM SOC, V124, P1728 BECKE AD, 1988, PHYS REV A, V38, P3098 BECKE AD, 1993, J CHEM PHYS, V98, P5648 BONNEAU R, 1996, J AM CHEM SOC, V118, P3829 BONNEAU R, 1996, J AM CHEM SOC, V118, P7229 BRINKER U, 1994, ADV CARBENE CHEM, V1 BRINKER U, 1998, ADV CARBENE CHEM, V2 FRISCH MJ, 1998, GAUSSIAN 98 GRAHAM WH, 1965, J AM CHEM SOC, V87, P4396 HIRSCH A, 1993, CHEM BER, V126, P1061 JACKSON JE, 1988, J AM CHEM SOC, V110, P595 LAVILLA JA, 1989, J AM CHEM SOC, V111, P6877 LAVILLA JA, 1989, J AM CHEM SOC, V111, P712 LEE C, 1988, PHYS REV B, V37, P785 LIU MTH, 1987, CHEM DIAZIRINES, V1 LIU MTH, 1987, CHEM DIAZIRINES, V2 LIU MTH, 1996, J AM CHEM SOC, V118, P8098 MARTIN N, 1998, CHEM REV, V98, P2527 MODARELLI DA, 1992, J AM CHEM SOC, V114, P7034 PIETRO WJ, 1982, J AM CHEM SOC, V104, P5039 PLATZ MS, 1994, RES CHEM INTERMEDIAT, V20, P175 SCHICK G, 1998, TETRAHEDRON, V54, P4283 WHITE WR, 1992, J ORG CHEM, V57, P2841; NR: 26; TC: 8; J9: J AM CHEM SOC; PG: 4; GA: 582NTSource type: Electronic(1

    Tracking Virus-Specific CD4+ T Cells during and after Acute Hepatitis C Virus Infection

    Full text link
    Background. CD4+ T cell help is critical in maintaining antiviral immune responses and such help has been shown to be sustained in acute resolving hepatitis C. In contrast, in evolving chronic hepatitis C CD4+ T cell helper responses appear to be absent or short-lived, using functional assays. Methodology/Prencipal Findings. Here we used a novel HLA-DR1 tetramer containing a highly targeted CD4+ T cell epitope from the hepatitis C virus non-structural protein 4 to track number and phenotype of hepatitis C virus specific CD4+ T cells in a cohort of seven HLA-DR1 positive patients with acute hepatitis C in comparison to patients with chronic or resolved hepatitis C. We observed peptide-specific T cells in all seven patients with acute hepatitis C regardless of outcome at frequencies up to 0.65% of CD4+ T cells. Among patients who transiently controlled virus replication we observed loss of function, and/or physical deletion of tetramer+ CD4+ T cells before viral recrudescence. In some patients with chronic hepatitis C very low numbers of tetramer+ cells were detectable in peripheral blood, compared to robust responses detected in spontaneous resolvers. Importantly we did not observe escape mutations in this key CD4+ T cell epitope in patients with evolving chronic hepatitis C. Conclusions/Significance. During acute hepatitis C a CD4+ T cell response against this epitope is readily induced in most, if not all, HLA-DR1 + patients. This antiviral T cell population becomes functionally impaired or is deleted early in the course of disease in those where viremia persists
