Ethopropazine (EP) or profenamine is a phenothiazine derivative, N-(2-diethylaminopropyl)phenothiazine (Figure.1), used as an antiparkinsonian drug that has anticholinergic, antihistamine, and antiadrenergic actions. Transition metal complexes of ZnBr2, CdBr2, CdI2, and HgBr2 have been synthesized using EP as the main ligand and purified by recrystallization in MeOH. These products have been ch...

Several decarbonised polygeneration systems exploiting carbon capture and storage (CCS) or CO2 reuse technologies for the conversion of primary resources into clean fuels, chemicals, electricity and heat are systematically analysed for techno-economic feasibility. A process simulation, energy integration and economic analysis based approach has been employed to arrive at a representative set of...

In this study we examined whether the maintenance of Trypanosoma cruzi by long-time in axenic culture produces changes in gene expression and antigenic profiles. The studies were made with a Dm30L-clone from a low-virulent strain and a non-cloned virulent EP-strain of T. cruzi. Both parasites were maintained, for at least seven years, by successive alternate passage triatomine/mouse (triatomine...

A new integer sequence defined on the basis of the EP numbers is introduced (A117570). The EP numbers are defined as ( ) ( )( ) Q P C B A Q Pb Cb Bb Ab x EP n n n + + + + + + + + + + = − − L L 2 1 , where , e non-negative integers and b is the base. We illustrate some general characteristics of EP numbers and the EP sequence. We observe the existence of pairs of consecutive EP numbers (twin EP ...

Exact inference in the linear regression model with spike and slab priors is often intractable. Expectation propagation (EP) can be used for approximate inference. However, the regular sequential form of EP (R-EP) may fail to converge in this model when the size of the training set is very small. As an alternative, we propose a provably convergent EP algorithm (PC-EP). PC-EP is proved to minimi...

in this paper, a nanostructured modified electrode was fabricated by incorporating of 2,2′-[1,9-nonanediylbis(nitriloethylidyne)]-bis-hydroquinone (nnh) as a newly synthesized modifier and tio2 nanoparticles to the carbon paste (mtcpe) and then was used for the electroanalysis of epinephrine (ep). the electrochemical studies were carried out by using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and di...

PURPOSE To investigate whether inhalation of ethyl pyruvate (EP) encapsulated with poly(ethylene glycol)-block-lactide/glycolide copolymer nanoparticles (EP-NPs) can prevent the development of shunt-flow-induced hyperkinetic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Rats were separated into five groups: blank (ie, no treatment after shunt flow), normal contro...

BACKGROUND The aim of our study was to detect Ep-CAM mRNA in peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) samples of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer, using a novel chromatographic method (molecular strip) for the detection of PCR amplified product and to confirm the results by the standard method of agarose gel electrophoresis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty patients participated in the...

Erythropoietin (EP) mRNA was measured in normal and anemic mice during fetal and postnatal development. Normal fetal livers at 14 d of gestation contained a low level of EP mRNA. By day 19 of gestation, no EP mRNA was detected in normal or anemic fetal livers or normal fetal kidneys, but anemic fetal kidneys had low levels of EP mRNA. Newborn through adult stage mice responded to anemia by accu...

Objective Cyclophosphamide (CP) is a chemotherapy drug which causes deleterious effects on testicular tissue and increases free radicals in the body. The aim of this study is to investigate the protective effects of ethyl pyruvate (EP) on testicular improvement in CP treated animals. MaterialsAndMethods In this experimental study, 15 male mice (6-8 weeks) were divided into 3 groups. The control...
