Abstract: A method of preparing a crystalline zwitterionic zinc(II)-carboxylate compound includes the steps of preparing a mixture of zinc(II) ions and a first pyridyl ligand having three carboxylic acid moieties; subjecting the mixture to conditions under which a precipitate is formed; separating the precipitate; adding a solvent and optionally a second pyridyl ligand to the separated precipitate; subjecting the obtained mixture to conditions under which crystals of the zwitterionic zinc(II)-carboxylate compound are formed; and separating the crystals of the zwitterionic zinc(II)-carboxylate compound. Preferably but not exclusively, the crystalline zwitterionic zinc(II)-carboxylate compound essentially consists of at least one 1D coordination polymer. The compounds are suitable for providing a sensing platform for detecting the presence or amount of target nucleic acid, particularly HIV-1 ds-DNA, with specificity, and, thus, a method of detecting a target nucleic acid sequence in a sample and a kit including the compounds and an oligonucleotide probe are also provided.

Abstract: A method for treating a subject suffering from a cancer, in particular a multidrug-resistant cancer includes administrating a cobalt-polypyridyl complex to the subject. A method for suppressing the growth of cancer cells, in particular inducing autophagy of the cancer cells, inducing cell cycle arrest of the cancer cells and/or inhibiting cell invasion of the cancer cells and for specifically targeting cancer cells with multidrug-resistance includes contacting said cancer cells with the cobalt-polypyridyl complex. A pharmaceutical composition and a kit are provided and include the cobalt-polypyridyl complex. Unexpectedly, the cobalt-polypyridyl complex is especially suitable to treat cancer, in particular multidrug-resistant cancer with an exceptionally increased cytotoxic activity towards multidrug-resistant cancer cells.

Experimental tests confirmed an exceptional HIF-1 inhibitory activity of the phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids isolated. A pharmaceutical composition includes at least one phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid and at least one pharmaceutical tolerable excipient. A method of treating a subject suffering from cancer includes administering at least one phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid isolated from Tylophora atrofolliculata. A method of treating a subject suffering from cancer includes administering at least one phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid to the subject.

Abstract: In widely deployed wireless “hot-spot” networks, nodes frequently join or leave, inelastic/elastic and saturated/non-satuarted flows coexist. In such dynamic and diverse environments, it is challenging to maximize the channel utilization while providing satisfactory user experiences. In this invention, one proposes a novel contention-on-demand (CoD) MAC scheme to address this problem. The CoD scheme consists of a fixed-CW algorithm, a dynamic-CW algorithm, and an admission control unit. The fixed-CW algorithm allows elastic flows to access limited system bandwidth; the dynamic-CW algorithm enables inelastic flows to contend for channel on demand and quickly adapt to network change; and the admission control unit rejects overloaded traffic for providing good user experiences. One then performs an asymptotic analysis to develop a simple but efficient admission control rule. Finally, extensive simulations verify that the scheme is very effective and the theoretical result is very accurate.
