BACKGROUND Xinfuli Granule (XG), a compound Chinese herbal medicine, has been effectively used in China for the treatment of heart failure for more than fifty years. This study aimed to investigate the effects and the underlying mechanisms of Xinfuli in rats with doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity. METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with intraperitoneal injection of Doxorubicin (DOX, 2....

This study evaluates the effects of cultured wild ginseng root (0.05%, 0.1% v/w) and xylitol in kimchi. The fermented characteristics of kimchi were investigated during 28 days of fermentation at 4°C. The pH value in the sample with the cultured wild ginseng root was higher than that of control group. The total acidity in the sugar groups (SG groups) was higher than that of xylitol groups (XG g...

A family is described in which a probable new form of sex-linked optic atrophy was found in eight individuals. Some additional neurological abnormalities were noted. Results of studies of the Xg blood group excluded close linkage between the optic atrophy and Xg genes. As a probable coincidence, Huntington's chorea was found in a side branch of the family.

Given a group G, RF-theory constructs a new group RF(G) and an action RF(G) → Isom(XG) by isometries of RF(G) on a canonically associated R-tree XG. We give an overview mostly focusing on the more basic aspects of this theory, up to and including the universal property of RF-groups and their associated R-trees.

A 3-year-old black male child with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease and red cells of the rare McLeod phenotype is presented. The red cells showed acanthocytosis and did not react with anti-KL. Similarly the leukocytes were nonreactive with anti-Kx. The Xk and Xg linkage could not be investigated since all members of his family were Xg (a+).

Disassembly of cell wall polysaccharides by various cell wall hydrolases during fruit softening causes structural changes in hemicellulose and pectin that affect the physical properties and softening of tomato fruit. In a previous study, we showed that the changes in pectin during tomato fruit ripening were unique in each fruit tissue. In this study, to clarify the changes in hemicellulose in t...

Gel foam has the advantages of gel and shows good prospects for applications in fields fire prevention extinguishing. Rheology a significant impact on application foam, but there is little related research. In present study, hydrophilic silica nanoparticles (NPs) water-soluble polymer xanthan gum (XG) were combined with fluorocarbon surfactant (FS-50) hydrocarbon (APG0810) to create foam. The f...

The aim of this research was to study the feasibility defatted wheat germ flour (DWGF) alone or in combination with xanthan gum (XG) as egg yolk substitutes mayonnaise formulation. In research, DWGF used at different levels (0, 25, 75 and 100%) XG (0.2%) substitutes. effects these substitutions on stability, textural rheological characteristics were investigated. According results, can be an su...
