background:gossypol is a yellow toxic pigment from the cottonseed that can cause acute or chronic toxicity in humans and animals by affecting the testicular tissues. nowadays cottonseed is used as food supplement for ruminants specially the sheep. in this study, two different stem cell lines of testicular tissue including gc1-spg (mouse testis) and sftf-pi43 (sheep testis) cells were used to ev...

Objective: To describe the results of a self-administered anesthetic nasal spray developed to target sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) for acute and preventive treatment chronic migraine. Background: The SPG is known migraine that may be anesthetized via minimally invasive in-office procedures. Historically, various noninvasive selfadministered intranasal formulations have been migraine, with some ...

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a unique protein that participates in inflammation, immune responses, and cell growth. An array of in vitro and in vivo experiments has demonstrated that MIF is profoundly involved in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic inflammatory disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Blockade of MIF bioactivities by either neutralizing anti-MIF...

We have examined gender differences of cortical thickness using a 3-D surface-based method that enables more accurate measurement in deep sulci and localized regional mapping compared to volumetric analyses. Cortical thickness was measured using a direct method for calculating the distance between corresponding vertices from inner and outer cortical surfaces. We normalized cortical surfaces usi...

Staphylococcus aureus protein A (SpA) and protein G of groups C and G streptococci (SpG) are two well-defined bacterial immunoglobulin (Ig)-binding proteins (IBPs) with high affinity for specific sites on IgG from mammalian hosts. Both SpA and SpG contain several highly-homologous IgG-binding domains, each of which possesses similar binding characteristic of the whole corresponding proteins. Wh...

Two methods are given for converting grammars belonging to different systems. One converts a s~mple (context-free) phrase structure grammar (SPG) into a corresponding dependency grammar (DG); the other converts a DG into a corresponding SPG. The structures assigned to a string by a source grammar will correspond systematically, though asymmetrically, to those assigned by the target grammar resu...

BACKGROUND The sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) may be involved in persistent idiopathic facial pain and unilateral headaches. The role of SPG blockade via intra oral route in the management of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is worthy of study. METHODS In this retrospective study, patient records included patients with atypical TN (type 2) that persisted in spite of conservative treatment for at leas...

Herein, ciprofloxacin (CIP)-loaded alginate/poly (vinyl alcohol)/gelatin (SPG) (CIP–SPG) nanofiber mats were successfully fabricated by electrospinning. The average fiber diameters of the before and after crosslinking in range 190–260 385–484 nm, respectively. chemical integrity CIP remained intact encapsulation into mats. degree weight loss water swelling decreased with an increase gelatin con...

In this paper we consider the problem of routing messages on Series Parallel Graphs (SPGs), and we introduce a new technique called Distance Routing. This technique is based on the idea of encoding in the label of each node x some information about a shortest path from the source of the SPG to x, and from x to the terminal node of the SPG. We rst compare shortest path Distance Routing and 1-Int...

The location of the postganglionic parasympathetic cell bodies projecting to cerebral arteries is unknown. Using axonal tracing techniques, we examined whether the sphenopalatine ganglia (associated with the seventh cranial nerve) and otic ganglia (associated with ninth cranial nerve) contain perikarya which send axons to the feline middle cerebral artery (MCA). The tracers horseradish peroxida...
