BACKGROUND Cisplatin (CP) is known as a potent anti-cancer drug. The most therapeutic adverse effect of CP is induced hepatotoxicity. In the present study, the protective effect of thymoquinone (TQ) on CP-induced hepatotoxicity was studied. METHODS Wistar rats were divided into three groups (15 rats each). Group 1 served as the control group. Group 2 rats were injected ip with a single dose o...

BACKGROUND Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs), composed of solid and liquid lipids, and surfactants are potentially good colloidal drug carriers. Thymoquinone is the main bioactive compound of Nigella sativa. In this study, the preparation, gastroprotective effects, and pharmacokinetic (PK) properties of thymoquinone (TQ)-loaded NLCs (TQNLCs) were evaluated. METHOD TQNLCs were prepared usin...

The main result of this paper is a matched-pair decomposition the space symmetric contravariant tensors TQ. From procedure two complementary Lie subalgebras TQ under mutual interaction arise. Introducing lift operator, matched pair Hamiltonian vector fields determined. According to realization, Euler–Poincaré flows on such spaces are decomposed into subdynamics: one formulation isentropic fluid...

In this study, against streptozotocin (STZ) induced diapetic nephropathy (DN); it is aimed to investigate the use of thymoquinone (TQ) and β-aminoisobutyric acid (BAIBA) compare effects these agents. With randomselection 35 male rats, five groups (seven rats in each group) were constituted as follows: Control, STZ, STZ + TQ, BAIBA, TQ BAIBA. group; body weight, glutathione (GSH) insulin levels ...

Parkinson disease (PD) is the most common movement disorder with progressive degeneration of midbrain dopaminergic neurons for which current treatments afford symptomatic relief with no-prevention of disease progression. Due to the neuroprotective property of the Nigella sativa bioactive compound thymoquinone (TQ), this study was undertaken to evaluate whether TQ could improve behavioral and ce...

Opioids, amphetamines, and other types of substances have been widely abused around the world. Opioid dependence and tolerance are two distinct phenomena that have been associated with substance abuse issues. The management of its adverse consequences is becoming more challenging. More and more people are treated in Methadone Maintenance Therapy (MMT) program yet the issues are still unresolved...

St. Augustinegrass [Stenotaphrum secundatum (Walter) Kuntze] is a turfgrass extensively used in managed landscapes Florida and throughout the southeastern United States. To develop cultivars with broad adaptation, it necessary to understand effect of genotype × environment interactions. The objective this study was estimate genetic parameters for coverage, turf quality (TQ), color (TC) multienv...

Baxter’s TQ-equation is solved for the six-vertex model using the representation theory of quantum groups at roots of unity. A novel simplified construction of the Q-operator is given depending on a new free parameter. Specializing this general construction to even roots of unity and lattices with an odd number of columns two linearly independent operator solutions of Baxter’s TQ equation are o...

In this note we investigate arithmetic properties of values of the Tschakaloff function Tq(z) = P∞ ν=0 q −ν(ν+1)/2zν , |q| > 1. One of the open problems is proving linear independence of the values of Tq(z) with different q. The only result obtained in this direction in [1] is very restrictive. We refer an interested reader to the survey [2] for an account of known linear and algebraic independ...
