To investigate the effects of D-002 (beeswax alcohols) on esophagitis induced by chronic gastroesophageal reflux (c-GER) in rats. Rats were randomized into a sham and five groups subjected to cGER: a positive vehicle control, three D-002 (50, 100 and 200 mg/kg), and one omeprazole (20 mg/kg) group, all treated orally for seven days. cGER was induced by ligation of the junction between the fores...

We study the evolution of a stochastic helical magnetic field generated in the early Universe after the electroweak phase transition, using standard magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). We find how the coherence length ξ, magnetic energy EM and magnetic helicity H evolve with time. We show that the self-similarity of the magnetic power spectrum alone implies that ξ ∼ t1/2. This in turn implies that magn...

A well-integrated host inflammatory response is essential in maintaining health and fighting against diseases, but pathological inflammation is linked to many ailments. Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), used to treat inflammation and pain, are among the most commonly prescribed drugs world over to treat both acute and chronic conditions, but its use is hampered by NSAIDs-related a...

In this study, a commercial chain extender (Polyad PR 002) in concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5% w/w was used as compatibilizer post-consumed PET/PA6 blends (25/75, 50/50 e 75/25) processed laboratory mixer. The degradation rate, phase miscibility, chemical interaction, crystallization, melting behavior, well the thermal stability mixtures, were analyzed by torque rheometry, scanning electron...
