Communication between the ovaries and central nervous system occurs by peripheral innervation through celiac plexus, superior ovarian nerve, plexus nerve. The vagus nerve is involved in regulating ovaries, but neuroanatomical pathway that links them not clear. Adult female rats were used for gross anatomy, acetylcholinesterase histochemistry, immunofluorescence analysis of tyrosine hydroxylase ...

A field study compared genetically improved, container loblolly pines (Pinus taeda L.) with naturally seeded loblolly pines through eight growing seasons on a cutover site in southern Arkansas, U.S.A. Measurement pines on 6 of 12 plots were released from woody and herbaceous competition within a 61-cm radius of each tree stem. On natural pine plots, only lst-year pine seedlings were selected fo...

Intelligent reflecting surfaces (IRSs) have emerged as a revolutionary solution to enhance wireless communications by changing propagation environment in cost-effective and hardware-efficient fashion. In addition, symbol-level precoding (SLP) has attracted considerable attention recently due its advantages converting multiuser interference (MUI) into useful signal energy. Therefore, it is of in...

As discussões presentes neste texto decorrem de uma pesquisa doutorado em Educação1 do Programa Pós-Graduação Educação da Universidade Federal Santa Maria. reflexões aqui apresentadas tiveram como objetivo sensibilizar e estimular docentes a participarem construção um Projeto Político-pedagógico (PPP) colaborativo, que colocasse evidência os professores rurais enquanto educadores-políticos, cap...

Objective: To evaluate color and surface gloss stability of bis-acryl resins resin composites, submitted to artificialstaining with cigarette smoke. Material Methods: Specimens each material were prepared (n=15). Two resincomposites (GrandioSO [RCG], Filtek Supreme [RCZ]) five (Luxatemp Star [BisLUX], Protemp4[BisPRO], Structor3 [BisSTR], Visalys Temp [BisVIS] Yprov [BisYPR]) tested. Initial wa...

Linehan IP, Russell RCG and Hobsley M (1988) The dumping syndrome after pancreatoduodenectomy. Surgery, Gynecology & Obstetrics, 167:114-118 Some patients have postoperative nutritional problems after a pancreatoduodenectomy. These problems have been attributed without objective evidence to the partial gastrectomy that is performed at the time of the pancreatoduodenectomy. The dumping syndrome ...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a serious complication of diabetes mellitus that may result in blindness. We evaluated the effects of activation of endogenous angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) 2 on the early stages of DR. Rats were administered an intravenous injection of streptozotocin to induce hyperglycemia. The ACE2 activator 1-[[2-(dimethylamino) ethyl] amino]-4-(hydroxymethyl)-7-[[(4-methy...

WWW and current Information Technology have made it easy to display a wide variety of content on desktops and personal devices. Unfortunately, little progress has been made for access to the content in public areas. Some technologies, such as Internet Kiosks and narrowcast, enable content access (primarily viewing), but not exchange. There is a growing need to access, adapt, and exchange desire...

A characteristic feature of aggressive malignancy is the overexpression of lactic acid dehydrogenase- (LDH-) A, concomitant to pericellular accumulation of lactate. In a recent high-throughput screening, we identified Rhus chinensis (Mill.) gallnut (RCG) (also known as Galla Chinensis) extract as a potent (IC50 < 1 µg/mL) inhibitor of human LDH-A (hLDH-A). In this study, through bioactivity gui...
