El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la distribución de mastocitos en el ovario y el útero durante el ciclo estral de ratas. Se utilizaron cuarenta ratas Albino de Wistar hembras, de 10 a 12 semanas de edad. Se tomaron muestras de los tejidos del ovario y útero para luego ser fijadas en Mota por 48 horas y parafina, luego se cortaron secciones de 6 μm de espesor las cuales fueron teñidas con...

Papain is a proteolytic enzyme used in topical formulations for peeling and treatment of burns, wounds and scars. It is also used as progressive depilatory agent and as cutaneous absorption enhancer. This work was aimed at validating a spectrofluorimetic method to quantify the activity of papain in semisolid pharmaceutical dosage forms. Benzyloxycarbonyl-phenylalanyl-arginine 7-amido-4-methylco...

The Earth shows a constant display of an organized complexity system, and its intrinsic capacity for sporadic self-organization constitutes its fundamental and profound mysterious property. A graphical method derived from the logistic phase space of precipitation is proposed to identify periods of abundance-scarcity of rain as well as El Niño presence in order to cope with climate change. The m...

In this paper we present a way to count the number of trains that we can construct with a given set of domino pieces. As an application we obtain a new method to compute the total number of eulerian paths in an undirected graph as well as their starting and ending vertices. Resumen. En este art́ıculo presentamos una manera de contar el número de trenes que se puede construir con un determinado c...

Here we describe a method of patterning electroluminescent (EL) polymers using micromolding in capillary (MIMIC). MIMIC is the one of the lithographic methods based on the microfludics among the soft lithography using a patterned poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) elastomer. The patterned microstructures of poly(dioctylfluorene) (PDOF), poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV), and poly(2methoxy-5-2 0-ethylh...

The foundations of a class of logic programming systems wi th the expressive power of full first-order logic and a non-monotonic component is addressed. The underlying refutation method is an extended version of weak model el imination. The first ques­ t ion addressed is how to compute answers with weak model el iminat ion when queries and programs are sets of arbitrary clauses, which is comple...

BACKGROUND Endothelial lipase (EL) regulates the metabolism of HDL cholesterol (HDL-C). However, the role of EL in regulating plasma HDL-C concentrations and EL's potential involvement in atherosclerosis in humans has not been fully investigated due to the lack of reliable assays for EL mass. We developed an ELISA system for serum EL mass. METHODS Human recombinant EL proteins, purified from ...

Endothelial lipase (EL) is a member of a subfamily of lipases that act on triglycerides and phospholipids in plasma lipoproteins, which also includes lipoprotein lipase and hepatic lipase. EL has a tropism for high density lipoprotein, and its level of phospholipase activity is similar to its level of triglyceride lipase activity. Inhibition or loss-of-function of EL in mice results in an incre...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate statistical differences with MR perfusion imaging features that reflect the dynamics of Gadolinium-uptake in MS lesions using dynamic texture parameter analysis (DTPA). METHODS We investigated 51 MS lesions (25 enhancing, 26 nonenhancing lesions) of 12 patients. Enhancing lesions (n = 25) were prestratified into enhancing lesions with incre...
