platelets are a natural source of growth factors and cytokines that promote wound healing, and platelet-rich fibrin contains concentrated growth factors. growth factors in platelet-rich fibrin may promote wound repair. in this study the effect of platelet-rich fibrin was evaluated in a dog model of cutaneous incisional wounds using histology and semi-quantitative evaluation. a pair of ten-centi...

Super-Earths and sub-Neptunes have been found simultaneously in multiplanetary systems, suggesting that they are appropriate to study composition formation within the same environment. We perform a homogeneous interior structure analysis of five systems explore compositional trends its relation with planet formation. For K2-138, we present revised masses stellar host chemical abundances improve...

Objective(s): Cucurbitacins exhibit a range of anti-cancer functions. We investigated the effects of cucurbitacins D, E, and I purified from Ecballium elaterium (L.) A. Rich fruits on some apoptotic and autophagy genes in human gastric cancer cell line AGS. Materials and Methods: Using quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR), the expression of LC3, VEGF, BAX, caspase-3, and c-MYC genes...

One of the greatest technological challenges of our time is building out the global wireless and wireline infrastructure to handle rapidly growing IP traffic – which increased eightfold over the past five years and is forecasted to increase fourfold over the next five years.1 This exponential boom in IP traffic is due, in part, to the escalating demand for rich content by consumers using increa...

in this study, we measured the composition and free radical scavenging activity of several species of nuts, namely, torreya grandis, carya cathayensis,and myrica rubra. the nut kernels of the aforementioned species are rich in fatty acids, particularly in unsaturated fatty acids, and have 51% oil content. t. grandis and c. cathayensis are mostly produced in zhejiang province. the trace elements...

The concept of an innovation space where different knowledge and perspectives can interact leading to innovation is central to lean thinking. The SECI framework of organizational knowledge creation identifies five enabling conditions which impinge on this space, namely intent, autonomy, fluctuation, redundancy and variety. User Stories, introduced in XP and now commonly used in Scrum, are a key...

High resolution spectra of five stars in the bulge globular cluster NGC 6528 were obtained at the 8m VLT UT2-Kueyen telescope with the UVES spectrograph. Out of the five stars, two of them showed evidence of binarity. The target stars belong to the horizontal and red giant branch stages, at 4000 < Teff < 4800 K. Multiband V, I, J,H,Ks photometry was used to derive initial effective temperatures...

The efficiency of institutionalized punishment is studied by evaluating the stationary states in the spatial public goods game comprising unconditional defectors, cooperators, and cooperating pool punishers as the three competing strategies. Fines and costs of pool punishment are considered as the two main parameters determining the stationary distributions of strategies on the square lattice. ...
