background and objectives: preparation and evaluation of nanocomposite films have become prevalent in recent years. depending on the purpose of using the film, and considering the effects and interaction effects of nanomaterial and other modifiers on the film properties, the amounts of nanomaterials and modifiers should be optimized. the effects of montmorillonite (mmt), glycerol (gl), and thei...

Estrogen has direct effects within adipose tissue and has been implicated in regional adiposity; however, the influence of estrogen on in vivo lipolysis is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of local 17β-estradiol (E(2)) on subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) lipolysis in premenopausal women. In vivo lipolysis (dialysate glycerol) was measured in 17 women (age 27.4 ±...

Objective: To determine the initial mechanical stabilization of conventional glass ionomer cements (GICs) indicated for atraumatic restorative treatment (ART) in different storage periods. Material and Methods: Specimens were divided according to GIC (n=12): IZ - Ion-Z, KM Ketac Molar Easymix, RS Riva Self Cure, GL Gold Label 9. They prepared stored distilled water. Superficial microhardness (S...

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in transplant patients and the leading viral cause of birth defects after congenital infection. The glycoprotein complexes gH/gL/gO and gH/gL/UL128/UL130/UL131A (Pentamer) are key targets of the human humoral response against HCMV and are required for HCMV entry into fibroblasts and endothelial/epithelial cells, respective...

Consider the tensor product of finite dimensional vector spaces V ⊗ W . We have an action of GL(V ) on V ⊗W induced by standard action on V . Similarly the action of GL(W ) on W gives us an action on V ⊗W . These actions of GL(V ) and GL(W ) on V ⊗W clearly commute with one another, so we have a joint action of GL(V )×GL(W ) on V ⊗W . Let S•(V ) and Λ•(V ) denote the symmetric and exterior alge...

The starfish Narcissia canariensis harvested from the coasts off Dakar, Senegal, was investigated for glycolipids (GL). This report deals with the isolation, characterization and biological activity of a fraction F13-3 separated from the GL mixture and selected according to its ability to inhibit KB cell proliferation after 72 hours of treatment. Firstly, a GL mixture F13 was obtained that acco...

The extract of licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra L.) has been widely used for many centuries in the traditional Chinese medicine as native anti-allergic agent. Glycyrrhizin (GL), a triterpenoid-saponin, extracted from the roots of licorice is the most effective compound for inflammation and allergic diseases in human body. The biological and pharmacological studies revealed that GL possesses many ph...
