Let Dtt denote the set of truth-table degrees. A bijection π : Dtt → Dtt is an automorphism if for all truth-table degrees x and y we have x ≤tt y ⇔ π(x) ≤tt π(y). We say an automorphism π is fixed on a cone if there is a degree b such that for all x ≥tt b we have π(x) = x. We first prove that for every 2-generic real X we have X ′ 6≤tt X ⊕ 0 . We next prove that for every real X ≥tt 0 ′ there ...

Background and Objective: Due to the presence of some evidence for anti-diabetic and antioxidant activity of Tribulus terrestris (TT), this study was designed to investigate the anti-nociceptive effect of TT in streptozotocin-diabetic rats using formalin test and hot tail immersion tests. Materials and Methods: Rats were divided into control, TT-treated control, diabetic, sodium salicylate (SS)...

Transverse tubule (TT) membranes isolated from chicken skeletal muscle possess a very active magnesium-stimulated ATPase (Mg-ATPase) activity. The Mg-ATPase has been tentatively identified as a 102-kD concanavalin A (Con A)-binding glycoprotein comprising 80% of the integral membrane protein (Okamoto, V.R., 1985, Arch. Biochem. Biophys., 237:43-54). To firmly identify the Mg-ATPase as the 102-k...

OBJECTIVE Maximal oxygen uptake (Vo(2max)) of 44 ml kg(-1) min(-1) is an accepted criterion (Vo(2CR)) below which health and fitness for young male adults may be compromised. New algorithms validated for Vo(2CR) screening using the 20 m multistage shuttle run test (20mMST) were developed. METHODS Vo(2max) was assessed in 110 males using a stationary gas analyser in a treadmill test (TT) and i...

OBJECTIVES Our objective was to assess the effect of Therapeutic Touch (TT) on the proliferation of normal human cells in culture compared to sham and no treatment. Several proliferation techniques were used to confirm the results, and the effect of multiple 10-minute TT treatments was studied. DESIGN Fibroblasts, tendon cells (tenocytes), and bone cells (osteoblasts) were treated with TT, sh...

A Phase I trial of thiotepa (TT) administered as an i.v. bolus was performed in 19 children with refractory malignancies. The starting dose was 25 mg/m2 with escalations to 50, 65, and 75 mg/m2. Seven additional patients were treated with 8-h infusions at 50 or 65 mg/m2. The maximum tolerated bolus dose was 65 mg/m2. Reversible myelosuppression was the dose-limiting toxicity. The plasma and cer...

A summer study and a winter study were conducted using an incomplete factorial structure in a complete randomized design. Within season, the factors studied were 1) type of diet, which included 2 levels of ME, classified as either concentrate (3.04 Mcal of ME/kg) or roughage (2.63 Mcal of ME/kg) diets, and 2) daily ME intakes (MEI) of 11, 18, and 25 Mcal of ME/d for the roughage diets and 18, 2...

AIMS Our research aimed to investigate the relationship between Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) T1131C polymorphism and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS We searched the relevant articles in databases and 25 ones were chosen. The association between APOA5 T1131C polymorphism and CAD risk was evaluated using odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs). The fixed-effect ...
