    Description: The integrated stress response (ISR) is a homeostatic mechanism by which eukaryotic cells sense and respond to stress-inducing signals, such as amino acid starvation. General controlled non-repressed (GCN2) kinase is a key orchestrator of the ISR, and modulates protein synthesis in response to amino acid starvation. Here we demonstrate in mice that GCN2 controls intestinal inflammation by suppressing inflammasome activation. Enhanced activation of ISR was observed in intestinal antigen presenting cells (APCs) and epithelial cells during amino acid starvation, or intestinal inflammation. Genetic deletion of Gcn2 (also known as Eif2ka4) in CD11c(+) APCs or intestinal epithelial cells resulted in enhanced intestinal inflammation and T helper 17 cell (TH17) responses, owing to enhanced inflammasome activation and interleukin (IL)-1beta production. This was caused by reduced autophagy in Gcn2(-/-) intestinal APCs and epithelial cells, leading to increased reactive oxygen species (ROS), a potent activator of inflammasomes. Thus, conditional ablation of Atg5 or Atg7 in intestinal APCs resulted in enhanced ROS and TH17 responses. Furthermore, in vivo blockade of ROS and IL-1beta resulted in inhibition of TH17 responses and reduced inflammation in Gcn2(-/-) mice. Importantly, acute amino acid starvation suppressed intestinal inflammation via a mechanism dependent on GCN2. These results reveal a mechanism that couples amino acid sensing with control of intestinal inflammation via GCN2.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4854628/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4854628/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Ravindran, Rajesh -- Loebbermann, Jens -- Nakaya, Helder I -- Khan, Nooruddin -- Ma, Hualing -- Gama, Leonardo -- Machiah, Deepa K -- Lawson, Benton -- Hakimpour, Paul -- Wang, Yi-chong -- Li, Shuzhao -- Sharma, Prachi -- Kaufman, Randal J -- Martinez, Jennifer -- Pulendran, Bali -- R01 DK088227/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK103185/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R37 AI048638/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R37 DK042394/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R37 DK057665/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI057266/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- U19 AI090023/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- ZIA ES103286-01/Intramural NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2016 Mar 24;531(7595):523-7. doi: 10.1038/nature17186.

    Notes: This work has as objective the synthesis for the method by combustion reaction ofcatalytic supports of α-Al2O3 modified with ZnO and Fe2O3 with and without impregnation of thespecies it activates (Ni) and your structural and morphologic characterization. The catalytic supportswere obtained by method of the synthesis da combustion reaction. The catalytic supports werecharacterized by XRD, adsorption of nitrogen by BET method and infrared. The results of XRDshowed the formation of powders with high cristalinity, characteristic picks of difraction of thephase α-Al2O3 indicating that there was the partial substitution of the ions of Al3+ for Zn2+ and Fe3+in the hexagonal net of the alumina. The impregnation of the nickel promoted an increasing in thesize of the particles, this carried to reduction of the superficial area of the same, of the volume andof the diameter of the pores of the structure of the material. Were accomplished catalytics tests inrow of seats scale. The result of catalytic tests showed that the developed catalysts in this work wereefficient in the methane conversion process

    Notes: This work involved a morphological, microstructural and magnetic characterization ofnanosized powders and sintered samples of Ni-Zn ferrite doped with chromium. The effect ofsubstituting Fe3+ for Cr3+ on the final characteristics of the powders and sintered samples wasinvestigated. The Ni-Zn ferrite powders were prepared by combustion reaction using nitrates andurea as fuel, based on the concepts of propellant chemistry. The samples were uniaxially compactedby dry pressing (385 MPa) and sintered at 1200oC/2h, using a heating rate of 5ºC/min. The Ni-Znpowders and compacted samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), and the measures of their magnetic properties. The results revealed theformation of the cubic crystalline phase of the inverse spinel of Ni-Zn-Cr ferrite. The averagecrystallite size was 21 nm and 57 nm while the saturation magnetization was 47.0 and 73.1 emu/gfor the powder and the sintered sample, respectively

    Notes: Diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMS), which have both semiconducting and magneticproperties, are those in which transitions metal ions substitute cations of host semiconductormaterials [1]. There is a great interest for DMS for use as the material of spintronics. In this study isreported the structural and morphologic characterization of Zn1.95Co0.05O nanoparticles obtained byPechini method and combustion reaction. The powders resulting were characterized by X-raydiffraction (XRD) for determination of the phases, crystalline phase and lattice parameter; nitrogenadsorption by BET for determination of the specific superficial area and calculation the particle sizefrom the superficial area and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for morphologic analysis. TheXRD results demonstrated the viability of obtaining crystalline and nanosize powders by the bothsynthesis routes. For all samples the average crystallite sizes was nanosized, but the powdersobtained by reaction combustion is smaller. The SEM micrographs shows that the powders obtainedfor both syntheses are constituted of soft agglomerates

    Notes: Among ceramic materials, the alumina has high importance because of itscharacteristics of resistance and refractory. The possibility to improve the finalcharacteristics of this material, open possibilities for new applications. The aim of thiswork is to synthesize (α-Al2O3) alumina powders by combustion reaction and toevaluate the effect of the urea content in the final characteristics of the α-Al2O3powders. Three compositions were studied : a) stoichiometric, b) with 10% of ureareduction and c) with 20% of urea reduction. The initial solution composition was basedon the total valence of the reagents by using chemical concepts of the propellant. Thispowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), granulometric determinationby laser diffraction, nitrogen adsorption by BET, scanning electron microscopy (SEM),infrared spectroscopy (IR) and helium picnometer. The results showed that the ureareduction change the temperature of the reaction from 525 to 463oC , the characteristicsof the powders, and principally the reduction of the particles size

    Notes: Ultrafine magnetic nickel ferrite particles have a significant potential for use inmany applications such as magnetic recording media, ferrofluids, microwaves, catalysis andradar-absorbing coatings [1, 2]. Nickel ferrite powders with a nominal NiFe2O4 compositionwere synthesized by combustion reaction and an evaluation was made of the effect of twodifferent conditions of synthesis on the nanostructural and magnetic characteristics of theresulting powders. Two synthesization routes were studied. The first, NFB, involved thepreparation of the powder using a Pyrex beaker heated directly on a hot plate at 480ºC untilself-ignition occurred. By the second route, NFC, the powder was obtained under the samesynthesization condition as the NFB route, but a vitreous silica basin was used. The resultingpowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), nitrogen adsorption by BET andscanning electron microscopy (SEM). The first route, NFB, proved more favorable to obtainpowders with high surface area and, hence, smaller crystalline sizes (5.70 nm) and asuperparamagnetic behavior. The NFC route confirmed the feasibility of obtaining powderswith a crystalline size of 18.00 nm and a magnetic behavior. Saturation magnetization was33.18 emu/g and the coercivity field was 25.63 Oe for powders obtained by the NFC route
