The effects of Corexit 9500A (CE) on respiratory epithelial surfaces of terrestrial mammals and marine animals are largely unknown. This study investigated the role of CE-induced heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), a cytoprotective enzyme with anti-apoptotic and antioxidant activity, in human bronchial airway epithelium and the gills of exposed aquatic animals. We evaluated CE-mediated alterations in huma...

PURPOSE To compare the added value of dynamic contrast material-enhanced ( CE contrast enhanced ) ( DCE dynamic CE ) magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with that of dynamic susceptibility CE contrast enhanced ( DSC dynamic susceptibility CE ) MR imaging with the combination of CE contrast enhanced T1-weighted imaging and diffusion-weighted ( DW diffusion weighted ) imaging for predicting recurrent...

Films of Ti oxide, Zr oxide, Ce oxide, Ti-Ce oxide, and Zr-Ce oxide were made by means of reactive dc magnetron sputtering in a multitarget arrangement. The films were characterized by x-ray diffraction and electrochemical measurements, both techniques being firmly connected to stoichiometric information. The optical constants n and k were evalued from spectrophotometry and from variable-angle ...

dans le domaine de la petrographie s'edimentaire et de la sedimentologie,la classification des roches sedimentaires ,en particulier des roches detritiques,est un probleme a discussion et en merite encore.dans notre langue persane ce probleme ,c'est-a-direla classification et sa transposition et la traduction de sa terminologie en persan,merite une attention particuliere. ce probleme s...

This article aims at discussing the struggle of one Umayyads’ descendants who was able to escape from Abbasid army city Damascus (Syria) Andalusia (Al-Andalus). He managed re-establish power Umayyads in after collapse their Damascus, due attack. A qualitative method with library research-based used conducting this study, data were analyzed by using descriptive approach, technical analysis, and ...

Cryptococcus isolates from AIDS patients in southern California were characterized by molecular analyses. Pheromone MFalpha1 and MFa1 gene fragments were polymerase chain reaction-amplified with fluorescently labeled primers and analyzed by capillary electrophoresis (CE) on DNA analyzer. CE-fragment-length analyses (CE-FLAs) and CE-single-strand conformation polymorphisms (CE-SSCPs) were used t...
