Celangulin V (CV) is the main insecticidal constituent of Celastrus angulatus. The V-ATPase H subunit of the midgut cells of lepidopteran larvae is the putative target protein of CV. Here, we compared the effects of CV on the midgut membrane potentials of Mythimna separata and Agrotis ipsilon larvae with those of the Cry1Ab toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis and with those of inactive CV-MIA, a ...

Sustained release of anti-inflammatory agents remains challenging for small molecule drugs due to their low molecular weight and hydrophobicity. Therefore, the goal of this study was to control the release of a small molecule anti-inflammatory agent, crystal violet (CV), from hydrogels fabricated with heparin, a highly sulfated glycosaminoglycan capable of binding positively-charged molecules s...

PURPOSE To compare the clinical outcomes of aberration-free ablation profiles based on the normal corneal vertex (CV) and the pupil center (PC) in relation to laser in situ keratomileusis. Aberration-free aspheric ablation treatments were performed in all cases. METHODS Two myopic astigmatism groups (CV centered using the offset between pupil center and normal corneal vertex and PC centered u...

Abstract To overcome the disadvantage of CV-ACC method that the high-density sample region may be close to the optimal hyper-plane, a parameter selection method for support vector machine (SVM) based on the decision value, named as CV-SNRMDV method, is proposed in this paper. SNRMDV is used as the criterion of cross-validation (CV) in our method, which is defined as the ratio between the differ...

Recently, treatment with 2 newer classes of type 2 diabetes drugs were found to reduce events in patients with diabetes and cardiovascular (CV) disease, a group common in cardiology clinics. The sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, empagliflozin, markedly and rapidly reduced CV death and heart failure hospitalization, likely with hemodynamic/metabolic-driven mechanisms of action. More rece...

در این پژوهش مسئله زمان‌بندی کار کارگاهی منعطف با ماشین‌های موازی درنظرگرفتن معیار تولید پاک‌تر، منابع دوگانه انسان-ماشین، زمان دسترسی کارها و پردازش وابسته به سرعت ماشین‌ها بررسی می­‌شود. اهداف شامل حداقل­‌کردن مجموع جریمه‌­های دیرکرد زودکرد افزایش است. داده می‌شود تا تکمیل کاهش یابد. درحالی‌که آلودگی صوتی محیط تولیدی منجر توجه رویکرد پاک‌تر که نگرشی پیشگیرانه است، اینجا سعی شده است حداقل­کردن...

INTRODUCTION Vaccination with formulations containing pneumococcal protein antigens such as pneumolysin toxoid (dPly) and histidine-triad protein D (PhtD) may extend serotype-related protection of pneumococcal conjugate vaccines (PCVs) against Streptococcus pneumoniae. METHODS This phase II, multi-center, observer-blind trial conducted in Europe (NCT01204658) assessed 2 investigational vaccin...
