Simple methods for determining the enantiomeric purity of mevalonolactone and linalool by NMR using the chiral shift reagent Eu(hfc)3 are reported. These methods are more reliable than polarimetry and require only a few milligrams of sample to detect as little as 2% of the minor enantiomer. The accuracy of these methods is limited primarily by spectral resolution for samples of high enantiomeri...

Purpose: Elevated numbers of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor microenvironment are often correlated with poor prognosis in melanoma. However, the mechanisms by which TAMs modulate melanoma growth are still poorly understood. The present study was aimed at examining the function and mechanism of TAM-derived adrenomedullin (ADM) in angiogenesis and melanoma growth. Experimental De...

Since conventional sampling and laboratory soil analysis do not provide a cost effective capability to obtain georeferenced measurements with adequate frequency, different onthe-go sensing techniques have been attempted. One such recently commercialized sensing system combines mapping of soil electrical conductivity and pH. The concept of direct measurement of soil pH has allowed for a substant...

BACKGROUND The preconception period has the potential to influence pregnancy outcomes and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are needed to evaluate a variety of potentially beneficial preconception interventions. However, RCTs commencing before pregnancy have significant participant recruitment and retention challenges. The Calcium And Pre-eclampsia trial (CAP trial) is a World Health Organiza...

effective symptomatic relief in patients with dysmotility-like functional dyspepsia, and is widely used in the treatment of gastritis. Gastric motility may be regulated by multiple neural systems. Studies on the mechanisms involving the neuronal systems suggest the involvement of cholinergic and noradrenergic systems. Additionally, various studies have suggested the existence of dopamine neuron...
