In this paper, Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and Laplace decomposition method (LDM) used to obtain series solutions of Burgers-Huxley and Burgers-Fisher Equations. In ADM the algorithm is illustrated by studying an initial value problem and LDM is based on the application of Laplace transform to nonlinear partial differential equations. In ADM only few terms of the expansion are required t...

Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a new member of a family of vasodilating and natriuretic peptides that plays an important role in cardiorenal regulation. This study was designed to establish the plasma, urinary, cardiac, and renal tissue concentrations and immunohistochemical localizations of ADM in normal dogs and dogs with experimental congestive heart failure (CHF) produced by rapid ventricular paci...

UNLABELLED Adrenomedullin (ADM) is important for tumor angiogenesis, tumor cell growth, and survival. Under normoxic conditions, the ADM gene was found to produce two alternative transcripts, a fully spliced transcript that produces AM and PAMP peptides and intron-3-retaining transcript that produces a less functionally significant PAMP peptide only. ADM is a well-established hypoxia inducible ...

PURPOSE To determine whether adrenomedullin (ADM), a vasorelaxant peptide is produced and secreted by human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, whether ADM expression is regulated by inflammatory cytokines and a growth factor, and whether ADM has proliferative effects on these cells. METHODS Production and secretion of ADM by cultured human RPE cells were examined by Northern blot analysi...

To promote the engraftment rate of autologous skin combined with acellular dermal matrix (ADM), ADM was punched to produce regular pores from 500 to 800 µm in diameter, separated by a distance of 3 to 5 mm. The porous ADM was then implanted beneath the flap and transplanted onto an open full-thickness defect wound combined with autografts about 0.2 mm thick in a rat model. The change in diamete...

Proadrenomedullin NH(2-)terminal 20 peptide (PAMP) and adrenomedullin (ADM) bind to teratocarcinoma cells. The effects of PAMP and ADM on teratocarcinoma cells were investigated. (125)I-PAMP bound to PA1 cells with moderate affinity (K(d) = 110 nM) to a single class of sites (B(max) = 110 000/cell). Specific (125)I-PAMP binding was inhibited by PAMP (IC(50) of 100 nM) but not ADM, calcitonin ge...

Adriamycin (ADM)-encapsulated thermosensitive liposomes (ts-lip-ADM) and common liposomes (lip-ADM) were developed and evaluated. The encapsulation efficiency of the two liposomes were above 99%, and the average sizes of liposomes were about 120 nm. Temperature-dependent drug release from loaded liposomes in vitro was investigated: more than 90% of loaded ADM was released from ts-lip-ADM within...

The alternating direction method of multipliers (ADM or ADMM) breaks a complex optimization problem into much simpler subproblems. The ADM algorithms are typically short and easy to implement yet exhibit (nearly) state-of-the-art performance for large-scale optimization problems. To apply ADM, we first formulate a given problem into the “ADM-ready” form, so the final algorithm depends on the fo...

Peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) from C57BL/6 mice were collected on different days following an i.p. injection of Adriamycin (10 mg/kg) as free drug (ADM) or encapsulated in multilamellar liposomes (ADM/Lip). Macrophages harvested from mice at various times (Days 4-14) after either drug treatment were responsive to in vitro lipopolysaccharide induction of tumoricidal activity, maximum response b...
