objective: spinal cord injury (sci) causes inflammation, deformity and cell loss. it has been shown that melissa officinalis (mo), as herbal medicine, and dexamethasone (dex) are useful in the prevention of various neurological diseases. the present study evaluated combinational effects of dex and mo on spinal cord injury. materials and methods: thirty six adult male wistar rats were used in th...

the concentrations and speciation of mo, together with fe, cu, and zn, in nver river sediments impacted with mo mining activities in western liaoning, northeast china, were investigated withgeochemical method. using the x-ray fluorescence and x-ray diffraction, the characterizations of metals in tailings ponds deposited along the nver river bank were analyzed. analysis and comparison of the con...

AIMS Early and late microvascular obstruction (MO) assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are prognostic markers for combined clinical endpoints after ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, there are only limited data for hard endpoints and no consensus exists which of the two best predicts clinical outcome. Furthermore, it is unclear whether the assessment of MO by MRI adds...

The paper deals with experimental design and optimization of leaching process of uranium and associated metals from low-grade, Polish ores. The chemical elements of interest for extraction from the ore were U, La, V, Mo, Yb and Th. Sulphuric acid has been used as leaching reagent. Based on the design of experiments the second-order regression models have been constructed to approximate the leac...

A radiochemical group separation using APDC extraction was applied to the neutron activation analysis of normal and cadmium injected rat liver. In order to optimize determinations of induced radionuclides with various half lives, the gamma-ray spectra were obtained after various decay times. Eight elements, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Se and Zn, were determined from rat liver samples within 12 day ...
