[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of treadmill training on functional recovery by analyzing the ankle joint as well as the knee and hip joints with 2D video analysis during gait by rats with sciatic nerve injury. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-four male Sprague-Dawley rats were used in this study. The sham group (SG) received only a sham operation without any sci...

The objectives of this research were to improve the film-forming properties of Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus skin gelatin (CSG) by cross-linking with transglutaminase (TG), determine and optimize the TG reaction time, and characterize the mechanical and barrier properties of CSG edible film. Cross-linking of CSG was performed by TG for 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 min at 50°C, and the reaction w...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the association between sodium intake and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Korean boys. METHODS A total of 1,738 boys aged 10-18 years were included in this study from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) during the years 2010-2013. Sodium intake was assessed using the urinary sodium excretion to urinary specific gravity rati...

The aim of the present work was to evaluate serum glucose concentration and lipid profile in racing horses in Iraq. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein of 92 clinically healthy racing horses (males and females, Arabian and Cross bred), 2-8 years old at Equestrian Club, Baghdad. Investigations included serum measurements of glucose (sg) and lipid profile parameters; total choleste...

Nickel was measured by atomic absorption spectrometry in three-day collections of feces from healthy hospital workers (age 22-65) who had lived for more than a year ‘in Hartford, Connecticut. None of the 10 subjects (4 , 6j9.) had occupational exposure to nickel. Fecal nickel averaged 3.3 gzg/g (wet weight); SD, ±0.8; and range, 2.1 to 4.4 tg/g. Corresponding figures on a dry-weight basis were ...

INTRODUCTION Transaortic valve implantation (TAVI) has a well-established position in the treatment of high-risk and inoperable patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS). The TAVI protocol requires a pre-dilatation for native valve preparation. AIM To assess the safety and feasibility of TAVI without pre-dilatation and to compare it with the procedure with pre-dilatation. MATERIAL AND METHO...

Let g be a Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero equipped with a vector space decomposition g = g ⊕ g+, and let s and t be commuting formal variables commuting with g. We prove that the map C : sg[[s, t]] × tg+[[s, t]] −→ sg[[s, t]] ⊕ tg+[[s, t]] defined by the Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff formula and given by e − e + = eC(sg ,tg) for g ∈ g[[s, t]] is a bijection, as is well known when g ...

We describe geometric non-commutative formal groups in terms of a geometric commutative formal group with a Poisson structure on its splay algebra. We describe certain natural properties of such Poisson structures and show that any such Poisson structure gives rise to a non-commutative formal group. We describe geometric non-commutative formal groups in terms of a geometric commutative formal g...

Abstract. Sulfate geoengineering (SG) methods based on lower stratospheric tropical injection of sulfur dioxide (SO2) have been widely discussed in recent years, focusing the direct and indirect effects they would climate system. Here a potential alternative method is discussed, where emissions are located at surface or troposphere form carbonyl sulfide (COS) gas. There two time-dependent chemi...
