Letter, Society Hill, SC, to George Washington Spencer, Chesterfield, SC, 1892 February 22

This letter is from the King Iron Bridge Manufacturing Company to G. W. Spencer.

Speech delivered by Hon. Hermann Ridder at the one hundred and forty-second anniversary dinner, German Friendly Society, Charleston, S. C., January 15th, 1908

The speech was delivered to the German Friendly Society by the Hon. Hermann Ridder and opens with a brief history of the society and its importance. He then goes on to acknowledge notable German settlers and their importance. He calls for history to be rewritten and textbooks to be revised to give credit to the Germans who contributed to America’s foundation and history.

Address delivered before the philanthropic and dialectic societies, at Chapel-Hill, N.C., June 20, 1832.

Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis infection in Samoan women aged 18 to 29 and assessment of possible risk factors: a community-based study

Background Knowledge about genital Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infections in the Pacific is limited. In this study we investigated CT infection in Samoan women. Methods We recruited women having unprotected sex aged 18 to 29 years from 41 Samoan villages. They completed a questionnaire and provided a urine sample for CT testing by PCR. Associations between CT infection and possible risk factors were explored using logistic regression. Results Altogether, 239 women were recruited; 86 (36.0%; weighted estimate of prevalence: 41.9%; 95% CI: 33.4–50.5%) were positive for CT infection. A higher proportion of women aged 18 to 24 were positive (54/145; 37.2%) than those aged 25 to 29 (32/94; 34.0%; p=0.20). Being single (OR 1.92; 95% CI: 1.02–3.63) and having two or more lifetime sexual partners (OR 3.02; 95% CI: 1.19–7.67) were associated with CT infection; 27.6% of those with one lifetime partner were positive. Participants who had a previous pregnancy were less likely to be positive (OR 0.49; 95% CI: 0.27–0.87). Primiparous and multiparous women were less likely to be positive than nulliparous women (OR 0.54; 95% CI: 0.30–0.99 and OR 0.46; 95% CI: 0.24–0.89, respectively). Conclusions The prevalence of CT infection in these Samoan women is very high. Further studies, including investigating the prevalence of CT infection in men, and strategies for sustainable control are needed.

烟酸及其同分异构体对细胞色素c直接电化学反应的影响

细胞色素c作为生物体内的一种电子载本,近年来它的电化学行为引起了电化学家们的极大兴趣.本文比较了与生物体内细胞色素c电子传递过程相关的烟酸及其同分异构体对细胞色素c电化学反应的促进作用,Hill研究组曾利用短时间吸附法考察过4-吡啶羧酸对细胞色素c电化学反应的影响,未观察到该化合物的促进作用.但我们发现金电极在4-吡啶羧酸溶液中经过长达1h以上浸泡后就可以观察到它的促进作用,而且

细胞色素c在咔唑修饰的金电极上的直接电化学

在生物体内,细胞色素c是一种电子载体,它能进行可逆的氧化还原反应,但在金属电极上的电化学反应却不可逆。1977年,Hill研究组发现,在4,4′-联吡啶存在时,细胞色素c在金电极上能进行准可逆的电化学反应。4,4′-联吡啶在细胞色素c电化学反应的过程中不起氧化还原反应而被称为促进剂。Hill等对50多种有机化合物的促进作用进行评价后提出,能加速细胞色素c电化学反应速率的促进剂分子至少应具有两个功能团。表面增强拉曼光
