Panax ginseng is a famous herbal medicine widely used in Asia. Ginsenosides have been identified as the principle active ingredients for Panax ginseng's biological activity, among which ginsenoside Rd (Rd) attracts extensive attention for its obvious neuroprotective activities. Here we investigated the effect of Rd on neurite outgrowth, a crucial process associated with neuronal repair. PC12 ce...

Let (Wt)0≤t≤1 be an r-dimensional Wiener process defined on a probability space (Ω, , P) and let ( t)0≤t≤1 denote the natural filtration of (Wt) such that 0 contains all P-null sets of . Let ξ be an 1-measurable d-dimensional square-integrable random variable. Let f be an Rd-valued process defined on R+ ×Ω×Rd ×Rd×r with values in Rd such that for all (y,z) ∈ Rd ×Rd×r , the map (t,ω) → f (t,ω, y...

We study vector-valued solutions u(t,x)∈Rd to systems of nonlinear stochastic heat equations with multiplicative noise, ∂ ∂tu(t,x)=∂2 ∂x2u(t,x)+σ(u(t,x))W˙(t,x). Here, t≥0, x∈R and W˙(t,x) is an Rd-valued space–time white noise. say that a point z∈Rd polar if P{u(t,x)=z for some t>0 x∈R}=0. show that, in the critical dimension d=6, almost all points Rd are polar.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effects of renal denervation (RD) on post- myocardial infarction (MI) cardiac remodeling in rats, the most optimal time for intervention and the sustainability of these effects. METHODS One hundred SPF male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to N group (Normal, n=10), MI group(MI, n=20),RD group (RD, n=10), RD3+MI (MI three days after RD, n=20), MI1+RD...

We hypothesized that changes in hemodynamic forces such as pressure (P) and flow (F) contribute importantly to the development of reactive hyperemia. To exclude the effects of vivo factors, isolated rat skeletal muscle arterioles ( approximately 130 microm) were utilized. We found that changes in P or P + F following occlusions elicited reactive dilations (RD). The peak of RD (up to approximate...

In this paper by Past President’s Award for Merit in Transportation recipient Ning Li and coauthor Stephen W. Read, a serious issue is raised in current roadway departure (RD) crash research and practices. Despite the importance of RD crashes, the definitions and identification methods of the RD crashes are inconsistent, and significant differences exist in the reported RD crash deaths between ...

PURPOSE To estimate the long-term cumulative risk of retinal detachment (RD) after cataract extraction. METHODS Using the resources of the Rochester Epidemiology Project, we retrospectively identified all residents of Olmsted County, Minnesota, who had cataract extraction from 1980 through 2004 (10,256 cataract extractions in 7,137 residents) and were diagnosed with RD. The observed probabili...
