SLX 1737−282 is a persistent moderately bright X-ray source 1. 2 from the Galactic center. X-ray observations with the Wide Field Cameras on BeppoSAX have for the first time revealed the true nature of SLX 1737−282: a 15-min long thermonuclear flash was detected exposing the source as a neutron star in a binary system. The flash was Eddington-limited constraining the distance to between 5 and 8...

background: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the levels of zinc (zn), copper (cu), iron (fe) and zinc/ cop­per ratio in the serum of patients with cutaneous leishmaniasis in qom province, center of iran. methods: serum levels of zinc and copper were determined by flame atomic absorption spectrophotometer and serum iron concentration was measured by using an auto analyzer. the study gro...

PURPOSE To investigate the association between CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) and the overall survival of sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) in Northeast China. METHODS 282 sporadic CRC patients were recruited in this study. We selected MLH1, MGMT, p16, APC, MINT1, MINT31, and RUNX3 as the CIMP panel markers. The promoter methylation was assessed by methylation sensitive high resolution...

The stress-activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 is emerging as an important mediator of pain. The present study examined the possible involvement of peripheral and spinal p38 MAPK in capsaicin-induced thermal hyperalgesia. Topical capsaicin produced phosphorylation of p38 MAPK in the skin from the affected hindpaw as well as the corresponding lumbar spinal cord in a time depend...

The auditory fields in the cortex of the guinea pig were investigated with microelectrode mapping techniques. Pure tones of varying frequencies and amplitudes were used as acoustic stimuli. Mainly, multiunit activity was recorded. A large tonotopic area is found in the anterior half of the auditory cortex. This area is named the anterior field (field A). Frequency tuning curves of multiunits in...

The technique of polarised light goniometry was used to quantify objectively parameters of the spastic gait during a double-blind cross-over trial comparing the spasmolytic effects of DS103-282, baclofen and placebo. Only minimal objective and subjective changes in gait were found when the results of treatment with DS103-282 or baclofen were compared with those of treatment with placebo.
