Rectification behavior can be observed when the electrode-molecule contact distance is larger than 2.2 Å. The electronic transport is greatly improved in case of Fe terminal which is analyzed in terms of transmission spectra and density of states.展开更多

High-dose dexamethasone （13 mg/kg） and dexamethasone ＋ actinomycin reduced lung water content, increased serum nitric oxide synthase activity and nitric oxide content, diminished inflammatory cell infiltration in pulmonary alveolar interstitium, attenuated meningeal vascular hyperemia, reduced glial cell infiltration, and decreased cerebral edema. These results demonstrate that high-dose glucocorticoid treatment can reduce the severity of lung disease-induced brain injury by increasing nitric oxide synthase activity and nitric oxide levels.展开更多
