Rhododendron aureum is identified as a vulnerable species in China. The establishment of an vitro regeneration system assists significantly protection. Here, was developed using both direct and indirect organogenesis pathways. role thidiazuron (TDZ) different developmental stages also investigated. leaves wild-harvested R. plants were used for callus induction after hydroponic cultivation. opti...

A sangra-d’água (Croton urucurana Baill.) é uma árvore de difícil propagação por sementes. Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito da época coleta estacas e diferentes concentrações ácido indolbutírico (IBA), no enraizamento Croton Baill. As coletas foram realizadas em novembro/2017, fevereiro/2018, maio/2018 agosto/2018. tiveram suas bases imersas solução hidroalcoólica (50 v/v) IBA, nas zero, 500, 1.00...

A human recombinant L-type Ca channel (a1C,77) was coexpressed with the rat angiotensin AT1A receptor in Xenopus laevis oocytes. In oocytes expressing only a1C,77 channels, application of human angiotensin II (1–10 mM) did not affect the amplitude or kinetics of Ba currents (IBa). In sharp contrast, in oocytes coexpressing a1C,77 channels and AT1A receptors, application of 1 nM to 1 mM angioten...

Inflammatory processes are important in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease and in response to amyloid-β immunotherapy. We investigated the expression of multiple inflammatory markers in the brains of 28 non-immunized patients with Alzheimer's disease and 11 patients with Alzheimer's disease immunized against amyloid-β42 (AN1792): microglial ionized calcium-binding adaptor Iba-1, lysosome m...

Relatively little is known about the small subset of peroxisomal proteins with predicted protease activity. Here, we report that the peroxisomal LON2 (At5g47040) protease facilitates matrix protein import into Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) peroxisomes. We identified T-DNA insertion alleles disrupted in five of the nine confirmed or predicted peroxisomal proteases and found only two-lon2 an...

Objective The dorsal horn P2Y13 receptor is involved in the development of pain behavior induced by peripheral nerve injury. It is unclear whether the expression of proinflammatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-6 at the spinal dorsal horn are influenced after the activation of P2Y13 receptor in rats with diabetic neuropathic pain (DNP). Methods A rat model of type 1 DNP was induced by ...

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Recent literature has raised some apprehensions with regard to the usage of cervical cages. PURPOSE Radiological review of cases performed at our institution with a novel cage made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK). STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. METHODS A retrospective review of the first 15 consecutive cases of single-level anterior cervical interbody fusion using the...

Modulation of high-voltage-activated Ca2+ channels by muscarinic receptor agonists was investigated in isolated parasympathetic neurons of neonatal rat intracardiac ganglia using the amphotericin B perforated-patch whole cell recording configuration of the patch-clamp technique. Focal application of the muscarinic agonists acetylcholine (ACh), muscarine, and oxotremorine-M to the voltage-clampe...

Over the years, studies of collective properties of medium and heavy mass nuclei in the framework of the Interacting Boson Approximation (IBA) model have focused on finite boson numbers, corresponding to valence nucleon pairs in specific nuclei. Attention to large boson numbers has been motivated by the study of shape/phase transitions from one limiting symmetry of IBA to another, which become ...
