iaceae), widely distributed in South-east Asia, especially in most areas of China, and first recorded in “shengnong Bengcaojing” (early in the third century B.C.), has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat inflammatory and cardiovascular diseases for thousands of years. Chemical studies have shown that this plant mainly includes saponins, polysaccharide and homoisoflavonoidal compo...

In this work we study the strong decays of $\phi(2170)$ to final states involving kaonic resonances $K(1460)$, $K_1(1270)$ and $K_1(1400)$, on which experimental data have recently been extracted by BESIII Collaboration. The formalism developed here is based interpreting $K(1460)$ as arising from three-hadron dynamics, inspired our earlier works. For $K_1(1400)$ investigate different descriptio...

BACKGROUND We compared daily pain, home analgesic use, and utilization among ambulatory adults in the randomized multicenter study of hydroxyurea in sickle cell anemia (MSH). We related the fetal hemoglobin (HbF) hydroxyurea response to these response variables. METHODS Patients rated their sickle cell pain intensity (0-9), use of analgesics, and visits for pain daily. Diaries were collected ...

The direct observation of dye-photosensitized 1270 nm emission of the 1 delta g leads to 3 sigma g transition of molecular oxygen in liquid solution is reported. Singlet oxygen was photosensitized by argon laser excitation of protoporphyrin in carbon tetrachloride.

The results of the partial wave analysis(PWA) of the π + π − π − and ωπ − π 0 systems are presented. The a 3 and a 4 (2040) signals are observed in the ρ(770)π and f 2 (1270)π channels. Indications of the a ′
