objective(s): neuroinflammation and oxidative stress play a key role in pathogenesis of parkinson’s disease (pd). in the present study we investigated the effect of reactive oxygen species (ros) scavenger wr-1065 on catalepsy and cerebrospinal fluid (csf) level of interleukin 6(il-6) and striatum superoxide dismutase (sod) activity  in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-ohda) induced experimental model of pd...

After 10 years of follow-up of a cohort of adolescents and young adults living in Munich, Tijssen et al (pp. 102–108) found that the persistence of affective symptoms earlier in life predicted later development of bipolar disorder in a dose–response fashion. They confirmed that although hypomanic symptoms are relatively common in adolescence, most resolve with time. In a Swedish national cohort...

The reaction between O((1)D) and C(6)H(6) (or C(6)D(6)) was investigated with crossed-molecular-beam reactive scattering and time-resolved Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. From the crossed-molecular-beam experiments, four product channels were identified. The major channel is the formation of three fragments CO+C(5)H(5)+H; the channels for formation of C(5)H(6)+CO and C(6)H(5)O+H from O...

n-Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (Zwischenferment) was discovered by Warburg and Christian in 1931 (1, 2). An active preparation was obtained then from horse erythrocytes and in 1932 from the Lebedev juice made from brewers’ yeast (3). Because of its extreme specificity, this enzyme has become an important analytical tool. Various preparations of it have been described, the first being those...

Background: The maximum probability of conceiving during a menstrual cycle is only about 40%. One third of conceptions do not result in the delivery of a baby recurrent miscarriage, defined as the loss of 3 or more pregnancies before 20 weeks post-menstruation that affects 1% of all women. Approximately 20 percent of pregnant women will have some bleeding before 20 weeks’ gestation, and roughly...
