ectopic pregnancy (ep) is a potentially life-threatening condition in which the embryo implants outside the uterine endometrial cavity. abdominal pregnancy is an atypical site wherein the product of conception lies totally outside the reproductive tract. primary abdominal pregnancy is a very rare condition with a high mortality rate. diagnosis is often late or misdiagnosed. the aim of introduci...

Prostaglandin (PG)E derivatives are widely used for treating gastric mucosal injury. PGE receptors are classified into four subtypes, EP(1), EP(2), EP(3), and EP(4). We have tested which EP receptor subtypes participate in gastric mucosal protection against ethanol-induced gastric mucosal injury and clarified the mechanisms of such protection. The gastric mucosa of anesthetized rats was perfuse...

objective: to evaluate the importance of cytokine type in embryo implantation in uterus specified and activated macrophages interfere the tube movements and embryo retention in uterine tubes by smooth muscle relaxation and disrupting ciliary function. therefore, increased risk of infection with hp during pregnancy, we investigated relation between helicobacter pylori (hp) infection and prevalen...

background & aim: this experiment was conducted to examine the effect of different levels of echinacea purpurea (ep) in comparison with an antibiotic (flavofosfolipol) on total antioxidant activity (aoa) in serum of broiler chicks. experimental: in this trial 240 one-day-old broiler chicks (ross 308) were weighed and randomly assigned to the 5 treatment groups, each with 4 replicates with 1...

BACKGROUND Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) is important in ductus arteriosus (DA) patency, but the types of functional PGE(2) receptors (EP) in the developing DA are not known. We postulated that age-dependent alterations in EP and/or their subtypes may possibly contribute to the reduced responsiveness of the newborn DA to PGE(2). METHODS AND RESULTS We determined PGE(2) receptor subtypes by comp...

Ethyl pyruvate (EP), a derivative of pyruvic acid, is known to have protective effects against ischemic cardiomyopathy and other disorders. However, little is known about its role in Adriamycin (ADR)-induced cardiomyopathy. The present study was designed to investigate the impact of EP on ADR-induced cardiomyopathy in an animal model. Sixty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into four g...

We have reported previously that PGE(2) inhibits dendritic cells (DC) functions. Because E prostanoid receptor (EPR) subtypes involved in this action are unknown, expression and functions of these receptors were examined in DC. Western blot and flow cytometry analyses showed that all EPRs were coexpressed in DC. In a dose-dependent manner, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) enhanced EP(2)R/EP(4)R but not...

in this paper we study the impact of minkowski metric matrix on a projection in theminkowski space m along with their basic algebraic and geometric properties.the relationbetween the m-projections and the minkowski inverse of a matrix a in the minkowski spacemis derived. in the remaining portion commutativity of minkowski inverse in minkowski spacem is analyzed in terms of m-projections as an a...

Recent results from searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) in e-proton collisions at HERA at center-of-mass energies of 300 and 320 GeV are presented. They were performed on a data sample collected in the period 1994− 2004 by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations. The data have been analysed searching for leptoquarks, light gravitinos in R-parity violating supersymmetric models and magnet...
