background: the presence of nitric oxide (no) in the cuneiform nucleus (cnf) has been previously shown. in this study, ng-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-name) (an inhibitor of no synthase), l-arginine (l-arg) (a precursor of no), and sodium nitroprusside (snp) (a donor of no) were microinjected into the cnf and cardiovascular responses were investigated. methods: seventy male rats were divide...

Sixty-five diabetic patients (65 eyes) constituted the study group, and 50 eyes were from the healthy control group (50 non-diabetic patients). The study group was subdivided into group 1...

objective(s) the central nucleus of the amygdala (cea) is a forebrain structure which is important in regulation of ingestive behavior and there is direct and circumstantial evidence to indicate that some circuits involved with feeding behavior include glutamatergic elements. the present study examined whether administration of nma (n-methyl-dl-aspartic acid) or mk801 into the cea altered water...

Frobenius algebras play an important role in the representation theory of finite groups. In the present work, we investigate the (quasi) Frobenius property of n-group algebras. Using the (quasi-) Frobenius property of ring, we can obtain some information about constructions of module category over this ring ([2], p. 66–67).

background: autologous skin graft is frequently used in the field of plastic, and reconstructive surgery. the engraftment is dependent upon revascularization and angiogenesis, which can be regulated by different factors. in addition to its hematopoietic effects, erythropoietin is shown to positively affect the wound healing process. objectives: we studied effects of human erythropoietin on reva...

Three new species of Pardosa, P. svatoni sp. n. (dy, SE Kazakhstan), P. fengisp. n. (male female, Central Xinjiang) and P lii sp. n. (male female, Central Xinjiang) are described and illustrated. The two former species cannot be placed in any species group. Pardosa lii sp. n. belongs to the P. wagleri species group. It is compared with P. italica Tongiorgi, 1966, whose embolic division has not ...
