In this study, the cDNA of a new peptide from the venom of the scorpion, Buthotus saulcyi, was cloned and sequenced. It codes for a 64 residues peptide (Bsaul1) which shares high sequence similarity with depressant insect toxins of scorpions. The differences between them mainly appear in the loop1 which connects the beta-strand1 to the alpha-helix and seems to be functionally important in long ...

crush preparation cytology technique was used during the operative procedure for the diagnosis of 199 cns tumors. this technique is simple, easy to perform, rapid, and inexpensive. the cytomorphologic findings were excellent and helped achieve a rapid and correct diagnosis. this technique was used on the tiny, small specimens which were not suitable for frozen sectioning. the results were compa...

The use of anti-depressant medication has been linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD). We examined the association between anti-depressant medication use and a marker of low grade systemic inflammation as a potential pathway linking anti-depressant use and CVD in two population based studies. Data were collected in a representative sample of 8131 community dwelling adults (aged 47.4±15.9 years,...

Clinicians often hesitate to give adequate doses of narcotic analgesics such as morphine and pethidine because these compounds are known to have a marked respiratory depressant effect. As a result there has been considerable interest in the possibility of combining a dose of one of these analgesics with a small quantity of one of the specific narcotic antagonists. The latter substances are know...

Separating different components of a plastic mixture is crucial in its recycling. Among the separation techniques, flotation was selected as cheap, non-toxic, and efficient process. Basis technique refers to selective adsorption depressant on plastics surface which cause alteration energy plastic. Adsorption lignosulfonic acid sodium salt (SL) available waste stream studied. Plastics used this ...

Sulfomethylation of radiata pine kraft lignin was performed using formaldehyde and sodium sulfite under alkaline conditions to determine its potential as a mineral depressant for the separation molybdenite chalcopyrite by froth flotation. Optimal sulfomethylation reaction were 20% (w/w) Na2SO3 at 130 °C 4.2 h, which resulted in with sulfonate content 2.2 mmol/g. Microflotation assays showed tha...
