Critical illness can be associated with transient alterations in circulating thyroid hormone concentrations, indicating the presence of non-thyroidal illness (NTI). NTI is well described in humans, but there are few reports on its occurrence and prognostic significance in dogs. This retrospective study assessed the occurrence of NTI in a population of dogs with systemic inflammatory response sy...

this study was conducted to detect polymorphism of gene bmp15, a member of transforming growthfactor β (tgfβ) family which has a crucial role in controlling the ovarian follicles development,ovulation rate and fertility. samples were randomly selected from 91 najdi goats in 3 geographicallocations, northwest, southeast and center of khuzestan province. after dna extraction, amplification of235 ...

Individual variability in the effects of opioid analgesics such as fentanyl remains a major challenge for tailored pharmacological treatment including postoperative analgesia. This study aimed to establish a new real-time method for detecting the effects of fentanyl and their individual differences in the preoperative period, using the pressure pain threshold (PPT) and Narcotrend index (NTI) te...

Over the last decade, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been developing, refining, and updating the National Toxics Inventory (NTI), a nationwide emissions inventory of 188 compounds and classes of compounds that are listed as hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) under the federal Clean Air Act. One of these compounds is 4, 4’-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), which is widely u...

In this dataset we integrated figures related to bacterial transformation using pBI121 plasmid and complementary analysis for magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) characterizations. The structural map of pBI121 plasmid was drawn by Vector NTI software using the complete sequence of binary vector pBI121. Escherichia coli bacteria transformed using pBI121 plasmid and were grown on the selection media co...

Naphthalene diimide (NDI, Fig. 1), one of the imide-based p-extended structures, has been widely utilized in chromophores, supramolecular architectures, and electronic materials. One of the effective ways to control the opto/electronic properties of NDI is to extend the p-system with fused aromatic or heteroaromatic ring(s), which affords core-extended NDIs, often referred as cNDIs. Whereas mos...

Sweet lime split bark is a disorder of increasing importance in Fars province. Previously we showed that a new variant of hop stunt viroid (HSVd-sb) was related to the disorder. It had homology with a noncachexia variant of hop stunt viroid (CVd-IIa-117) which causes cracking the bark of trifoliate orange rootstocks. In this study, showed that M.NgoBIX, BglI and BsrI restriction enzymes can c...

BACKGROUND Critical illness is hallmarked by low circulating thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations, in the presence of elevated reverse T3 (rT3) and low-normal thyrotropin (TSH), referred to as nonthyroidal illness (NTI). Thyroid hormone (TH) metabolism is substantially increased during NTI, in part explained by enhanced deiodinase 3 (D3) activity. T4- and T3-sulfate concentra...

beta subunits (Ca(v)beta) increase macroscopic currents of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels (VDCC) by increasing surface expression and modulating their gating, causing a leftward shift in conductance-voltage (G-V) curve and increasing the maximal open probability, P(o,max). In L-type Ca(v)1.2 channels, the Ca(v)beta-induced increase in macroscopic current crucially depends on the initial segmen...

The delta opioid system is involved in the behavioral effects of various drugs of abuse. However, only a few studies have focused on the possible interactions between the opioid system and the effects of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). In order to examine the possible role of the delta opioid system in MDMA-induced behaviors in mice, locomotor activity and conditioned place preference...
