In frogs, the responses of the glossopharyngeal nerve (GL) to NaCl are enhanced after treatment of the tongue with 8-anilino-1-naphthalene-sulfonic acid (ANS), a hydrophobic probe for biological membranes. The enhancement by ANS treatment has been explained by removal of Ca2+ from the receptor membrane treated with ANS. To explore the mechanism of enhancement by ANS treatment, we recorded neura...

Carbonyl reductase (CBR) catalyzes the reduction of daunorubicin (DN) to its corresponding alcohol, daunorubicinol (DNOL), and changes the pharmacological properties of this cancer chemotherapeutic drug. The DN reductase associated with CBR reduces the C13 methyl ketone group and does not metabolize the quinone ring of DN. Reports comparing DN and DNOL toxicity have resulted in various conclusi...

[1] Site preference (SP), the difference in dN between the central and outer nitrogen atoms in N2O, is a powerful approach for apportioning fluxes of N2O from soils to nitrification and denitrification (Sutka et al., 2006). A critical aspect of the use of SP data to apportion sources of N2O to nitrification and denitrification is the need to evaluate data for isotope shifts that may have occurr...

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with excess morbidity and mortality, in both type 1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetic patients. Despite intensification of treatment, DN remains a growing problem worldwide [1–6]. In 2009, treatment of diabetic end stage renal disease patients accounted for approximately 40% of the US$43 billion expended for dialysis treatment in the United States New manag...

Introduction: Le faible poids de naissance constitue un problème majeur de santé publique, aussi bien dans les pays développés que dans les pays en développement, de par son ampleur et sa forte association avec la morbidité et la mortalité infantiles. Méthodes: Il s'agit d'une étude cas-témoins rétrospective menée sur les différents facteurs de risque de faible poids de naissance(FPN) en milieu...

L'objectif de ce travail est de présenté deux cas de carcinomes papillaire sur kystes du tractus thyréoglosse (KTT) et d'exposer notre attitude thérapeutique. Il s'agit de deux patientes, une âgée de 30 ans et l'autre de 45 ans, qui ont été opéré dans notre centre. Le diagnostic du carcinome papillaire sur KTT a été retenu après étude anatomopathologique du kyste après exérèse selon la techniqu...

Abstract We wrote and used an automated flare detection Python script to search for super-flares on main sequence stars of types A, F, G, K M in Kepler’s long-cadence data from Q0 Q17. studied the statistical properties occurrence rate super-flares. For G-type set, we compared our results with previous Okamoto et al. by splitting set into four rotational bands. found similar power-law indices f...

the facial esthetics after orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery may be affected by the patient's natural head position. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the natural head position for the three skeletal classes of malocclusion.our sample consisted of 102 lateral cephalometric radiographs of patients aged 15 to 18 years; class i (n=32), class ii (n=40) and class iii (n=30). nin...
