Seizure activity has been proposed to result in the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which then contribute to seizure-induced neuronal damage and eventually cell death. Although the mechanisms of seizure-induced ROS generation are unclear, mitochondria and cellular calcium overload have been proposed to have a crucial role. We aim to determine the sources of seizure-induced ROS and ...

In recent years, the increase in grain yield under irrigated conditions has led to a decrease technological quality of grain. The main reason for this is lack nitrogen during formation wheat on gray soils with low humus content. Under conditions, one most urgent tasks winter and improve quality. According results scientific research, today absorbs 50-55% fertilizers, 20-22% phosphorus fertilize...

The effect of long-term treatment with inhaled corticosteroid on exercise-induced asthma (EIA) was studied in 55 children, aged 7-18 yrs (mean 12 yrs). We also compared the time course of stabilization of EIA to that of other indicators of airway responsiveness, such as peak expiratory flow (PEF) variation and the provocation dose of histamine causing a 20% fall in forced expiratory volume in o...

The progression of hydration of Geosynthetic Clay liner (GCL) from underlying subsoil was studied for three GCL products under simulated landfill conditions, before and after being covered by municipal solid waste. GCL hydration is shown to be highly dependent on the GCL manufacturing techniques, the grain size distribution and initial moisture content of the subsoil. The hydration behaviour of...

The localization of V", gene regions to chromosome 2, on which the K locus is located, and to other chromosomes is described. The V", genes that have been transposed to other chromosomes are called orphons. The finding of two new V", genes on chromosome 22 is reported. A V", 11 gene of this region and two V", I genes of the Chr 1 and the cos 118 regions were sequenced. The two V", I orphon sequ...

A child with unilateral radial aplasia, asymmetry, other malformations, and severe physical and mental retardation is reported. In blood and bone marrow cultures a low mosaicism for trisomy 22 was found. In a few cells a chromosome 22 was missing. The importance of early cytogenetic analysis on large numbers of cells is emphasised, especially in cases of asymmetry where mosaicism is suspected.

In this study, the longitudinal and hoop tensile strengths of an industrial ±55° Glass Reinforced Epoxy (GRE) pipe with eighteen layers as well as the associated failure mechanisms are determined. To obtain the longitudinal and hoop tensile strengths values, three specimens are cut from the studied GRE pipe in each direction. A comparison is done between both the strength values, and the fractu...

Molecular imaging is the noninvasive visualization of normal as well as abnormal cellular processes at a molecular or genetic level of function. It is used to provide characterization and measurement of biological processes in living animals and humans (in vivo). The discipline of molecular imaging evolved rapidly over the past decade through the integration of cell biology, molecular biology a...

Materials and Methods: The sample consists of 100 patients, 45 males and 55 females, aged 13–22 years. A translated pre-tested questionnaire [psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics questionnaire PIDAQ] was used to assess the subjects’ social and psychological impact by their occlusal irregularities. The actual severity of malocclusion was determined, using the dental aesthetic index (DAI) on ...
