neurotoxicity following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion. Accumulation of ROS, particularly superoxide anion (O ) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) causes damage to membrane phospholipids, proteins and DNA. Under normal circumstances, these oxidant species can be effectively scavenged by antioxidant enzymes, namely superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). In mammalian SOD...

Phase relations in the system P b S P b S e P b T e were investigated in the temperature range between 1150 and 300~ There is a complete solid solution series along the join PbS-PbSe, whereas miscibility gaps exist below ~ 350~ and 805~ along joins PbSe-PbTe and PbS-PbTe, respectively. Both gaps extend into the ternary system, and the range of the gap between PbS and PbTe reduces in size with t...

The genome of a candidate dengue type 2 (DEN-2) vaccine virus, strain PDK-53, differs from its DEN-2 16681 parent by nine nucleotides. Using infectious cDNA clones, we constructed 18 recombinant 16681/PDK-53 viruses to analyze four 16681-to-PDK-53 mutations, including 5' noncoding region (5'NC)-57 C-to-T, premembrane (prM)-29 Asp-to-Val (the only mutation that occurs in the structural proteins)...
