Metal-incorporated SAPO-34 catalysts were prepared by one-step hydrothermal method. Effects of various parameters including the types metal ions, Cu2+ sources, structure directing agents (SDAs), temperature and time on catalyst activity metal-incorporated investigated. Three (Cu/SAPO-34, Fe/SAPO-34 Mn/SAPO-34) successfully obtained. Compared with Mn/SAPO-34 catalysts, Cu/SAPO-34 revealed comple...

Although ampicillin is the most commonly used drug in neonates, developmental pharmacokinetic (PK) data to guide dosing are lacking. Ampicillin is primarily renally eliminated, and developmental changes are expected to influence PK. We conducted an open-label, multicenter, opportunistic, prospective PK study of ampicillin in neonates stratified by gestational age (GA) (≤ 34 or >34 weeks) and po...

INTRODUCTION Induced birth of fetuses with gastroschisis from 34weeks gestational age (GA) has been proposed to reduce bowel damage. We aimed to determine the effect of birth timing on time to full enteral feeds (ENT), length of hospital stay (LOS), and sepsis. METHODS A retrospective analysis (2000-2014) of gastroschisis born at ≥34weeks GA was performed. Associations between birth timing an...

AIM To investigate the relation between gestational age, birth weight, and antenatal corticosteroid administration and the time of ductus venosus closure. METHODS Ninety eight neonates of 30-41 weeks gestational age were studied by daily ultrasonography until ductus venosus closure. RESULTS In neonates of 30-33 weeks gestational age, the ductus venosus closed at 6.0 (2.4)days (mean (SD)); i...

The medical records of Japanese patients with measles, age 15 to 39 years old, were analyzed for febrile period in 200 patients and maximum body temperature in 211 patients. The febrile periods by age group were as follows: 7.7 +/- 1.4 days, 7.8 +/- 1.7 days, 8.1 +/- 1.7 days, 8.1 +/- 2.4 days and 7.5 +/- 1.4 days in 15-19, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34 and 35-39 year-olds, respectively. No significant d...

To investigate the pathogenesis of acute Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, BALB/c mice were anesthetized with metofane, and M. pneumoniae was introduced intranasally on days 0, 1, and 2. Mice were sacrificed on days 0-15. A histopathologic scoring system defined inflammatory changes in the lungs on a scale of 0-26 (least to most severe). Broth cultures were positive for all nasal passage and bro...

Temperature plays an important role in the development and survival of insects. The effects temperature on two cricket species, Acheta domesticus Gryllus bimaculatus were determined at six constant temperatures (18, 22, 26, 30, 34 380C). Parameters for stage-specific such as fecundity, weight fat content, structural body size, sex ratio, time, longevity investigated. Relative humidity, light in...

Daily subcutaneous administration of bovine parathyroid hormone (PTH)(1-34) stimulates bone formation and increases bone mass in rat tibiae, femora and lumbar spine. However, the effects of PTH on the whole body bone mineral content and density determined by dual energy x-ray absortiometry (DEXA) have not been previously reported in rats. Eighteen-month-old intact female rats were subcutaneousl...
