Phospholipid vesicles, also known as liposomes, were examined for their ability to act as a drug carrier to the brain. 9-Amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine (THA), a centrally acting acetylcholinesterase inhibitor, was used as a model drug. THA was encapsulated in dehydration-rehydration vesicles (DRV) composed of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine, cholesterol and dipalmitoyl-phosphatidic acid (molar r...

in order to study the response of new sugar beet hybrids and cultivars to curly top disease in the field conditions, an experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with four replications and sixteen treatments in 2007 in fasa. each plot included a hybrid or cultivar planted in three rows with eight meter length and 50cm between- row spacing. after weeding and first thinning...

CONTEXT The two-incision approach to total hip arthroplasty (THA) has received increasing attention in recent years. However, the benefits of this procedure have been debated. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the two-incision THA technique compared to the standard anterolateral THA approach in a community hospital setting. METHODS A retrospective review of records from patients who had THA at Memoria...

INTRODUCTION Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) is superior to bipolar hemiarthroplasty (BHA) for displaced femoral neck fracture in terms of hip pain, function and reoperation rate, THA has a higher rate of dislocation. The direct anterior approach (DAA) and a dual mobility cup (DMC) are associated with lower rates of dislocation. The aim of this study was to investigate the outcomes of THA...


 Tha?bit b. Qurra (d. 288/901), a Sabian of H?arra?n, and his descendants remained in their ancestral religion for six generations. Why did they persist despite pressure to convert? This article argues that religious self-identification as could be distinct advantage Baghdad’s elite circles. It focuses on Tha?bit’s great-grandson Abu? Ish?a?q Ibra?hi?m Hila?l al-S?a?bi? 384/994) poetry co...

In animal the plasma cholesterol-lowering activity of 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone (THA) is due to enhanced cholesterol 7alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) activity. We have examined the effect of THA on CYP7A1 activity and mRNA level in HepG2 cells. THA stimulated CYP7A1 activity in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. After exposure for 24 h, 1 muM THA induced CYP7A1 activity 160+/-8% and mRNA...

Phloracetophenone (2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone, THA) is a potent choleretic in the bile fistula rat, although the mechanism is unknown. In the present study, we examined how THA enhances bile secretion. Stepwise infusions of THA (1-4 micromol/min) in the isolated perfused rat liver resulted in an immediate and dose-dependent increase in bile flow (BF), which reached saturation. The increase in...

The activity demands of young patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) have not been clearly defined. University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), Short Form-12 version 2 (SF-12v2), and Functional Comorbidity Index (FCI) questionnaires were administered to 70 young patients who had undergone THA (young THA group; ie,...

Introduction: In my daily practice as a hip surgeon, I have observed some circumstances where urinary incontinence (UI) improves after total arthroplasty (THA). We investigated UI symptoms before and THA at our facility considered the factors that influence UI. Patients Method: The subjects were 113 female patients who underwent primary in facility. An anterior lateral approach was used all cas...
