Phosphorylation of synaptic (RS)-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) (AMPA) receptors (AMPARs) is an essential component of cerebellar long-term depression (LTD), a form of synaptic plasticity involved in motor learning. Here, we report that protein phosphatase 2A (PP-2A) plays a specific role in controlling synaptic strength and clustering of AMPARs at synapses between gr...

A rise in postprandial serum triglycerides (PP-sTG) can potentiate inflammatory responses in vascular endothelial cells (ECs) and thus serves as an independent risk factor for predicting increased cardiovascular morbidity. We examined postprandial triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (PP-TGRLs) in subjects ranging from normal to hypertriglyceridemic for their capacity to alter EC acute inflammatory r...

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterized by arterial hypoxemia, and prone position (PP) is one possible management strategy. The objective here was to evaluate the effects of PP on oxygenation. DESIGN AND SETTING Non-randomized, open, prospective, controlled clinical trial, in a surgical intensive care unit at a tertiary university hospital. METHODS ...

Twelve female ponies were examined daily for 30 days and classified as ovulating (OV; N = 6; 197 +/- 6 kg) or prepubertal (PP; N = 6; 196 +/- 9 kg). Follicles were detected by ultrasound and gonadotropins quantified by radioimmunoassay. The mean diameter of the largest follicles was significantly larger in OV (38 +/- 1 mm) than in PP (26 +/- 2 mm) but there was no difference between groups in t...

The present study was carried out in two phases. In phase one optimization for the stage, form and rate of addition cardamom to control lipolysis out. prepared khoa packed polypropylene (PP) containers stored at 7±1°C and/or 15±1°C. During storage, samples were evaluated an interval 48 hours acceptability by sensory analysis monitored lipolytic changes terms free fatty acids (FFA) content. Base...

I . Schilder (655). 2. Schilder’s epistemological stand is indicated here. It is the articulation of the world which is given, not the “categories” of the “pure mind” (Kant). The point is of importance, since modern dynamic psychology has implications suggestive of solipsism. See, for example, Laforgue (441, pp. 57-59). The epistemological paradox of dynamic psychology is: how accoiint for an a...

In this study, PP films were modified with an organic pro-degradant in different concentrations (1, 2 and 3 wt.%), exposed in the first step of degradation to natural ageing for 100 days followed by biodegradation in simulated soil in the respirometric test for 100 days. At the end of the combined degradation process the PP samples were characterized according to their morphological and physica...
