PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of letrozole (Ltz) in carcinogen+estrogen-induced endometrial hyperplasia. METHODS BALB/c female mice were divided into four groups of 12 animals each receiving an intrauterine dose of N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea (ENU) and weekly subcutaneous injections of estradiol hexaidrobenzoate (EHB), except for group I(control). The groups were divided in I (control), II (ENU+E...

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Psychrobacter cibarius strain W1, which was isolated at a slaughterhouse in Denmark. The 3.63-Mb genome sequence was assembled into 241 contigs.

We study homogenization by Γ-convergence, with respect to the L1-strong convergence, of periodic multiple integrals in W 1,∞ when the integrand can take infinite values outside of a convex bounded open set of matrices.

A stability-indicating HPLC assay method has been developed and validated for medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in bulk drug and injectable suspension. An isocratic RP-HPLC was achieved on a Hichrom C(18) column (150 mm x 4.6mm i.d., 5 microm) utilizing a mobile phase of methanol 0.020 M acetate buffer pH 5 (65:35, v/v) and a photodiode array detector at 245 nm. The stress testing of MPA was ca...

Multiple emulsions (W1/O/W2) with a long-term stability of at least 12 months were prepared in order to encapsulate low molecular weight bioactive substances (Mr < 2000 g/mol). The influence of the emulsifying procedure, i.e. the variation in energy input for dispersing W1/O in W2, and the influence of the emulsion composition were investigated in relation to emulsion stability and encapsulatio...

OBJECTIVES We used data from the Changing Lives of Older Couples, a prospective multiwave study of 1,532 married individuals aged 65 and older, to investigate the extent to which spousal loss and death-context characteristics are associated with the stress hormone cortisol at 6 (W1) and 18 (W2) months postbereavement. METHOD We used ordinary least squares regression models to estimate the eff...

In this article we introduce the difference sequence spacesW0[ f ,∆m],W1[ f ,∆m], W∞[ f ,∆m] and S[ f ,∆m], defined by a modulus function f . We obtain a relation between W1[ f ,∆m]∩ l∞[ f ,∆m] and S[ f ,∆m]∩ l∞[ f ,∆m] and prove some inclusion results.

Five types of porous Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) alloy samples of different porosities and pore sizes were fabricated. According to compressive and fracture strengths, three groups of porous NiTi alloy samples underwent further cytocompatibility experiments. Porous NiTi alloys exhibited a lower Young's modulus (2.0 GPa ~ 0.8 GPa). Both compressive strength (108.8 MPa ~ 56.2 MPa) and fracture strengt...

We derive a catalog of early-type emission-line stars including 30,048 spectra 25,886 from LAMOST DR7, in which 3,922 have Simbad records. The sample is obtained using K-Nearest Neighbor and Random Forest methods visually inspected. are classified into 3 morphological types (10 subtypes) based on H$\alpha$ emission line profiles. Some contaminated by nebula lines such as HII regions flagged the...

Mycophenolic acid is a secondary extracellular metabolite of Penicillium strains with numerous pharmaceutical properties such as antibiotic and immunosuppressive uses. The aim of this work is the survey of the effect of phenylglyoxal and n-ethylmaleimide concentration in culture medium on mycophenolic acid production by Penicillium brevi-compactum ATCC16024 was investigated. Batch submerged fer...
