introduction: the correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (rvef and lvef, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in rvef and lvef. the aim of the present study was to compare lvef and rvef in patients with ischemic heart disease. rvef and lvef were measured by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (cmr) imaging. materials a...

deleanu, frei, and hilton have developed the notion of generalized adams completion in a categorical context. in this paper, we have obtained the postnikov-like approximation of a module, with the help of a suitable set of morphisms.

mefloquine (mfq), as a racemic mixture is used for the prophylaxis and treatment of malaria. stereoselective pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic differences have been observed for mfq. in the present study, the human blood was spiked with racemic mfq. the concentration of mfq enantiomers in various blood fractions including packed erythrocyte layer, platelet rich plasma and platelet poor plasma...

A water-soluble cationic porphyrin, 5,10,15,20-Tetra(N-methylpyridinium-4-yl)-21H,23H-porphyrin has been shown to intercalate selectively into the A3-G4 gap of C-quadruplexed DNA d(TTAGGG)4.

in the present study ethanol and water extracts of 15 seaweeds, dictyota dichotoma var. velutricata, dictyota indica, iyengaria stellata, padina pavonia, sargassum swartzii, sargassum variegatum, stoechospermum marginatum, stokeyia indica, jolyna laminarioides, caulerpa taxifolia, halimeda tuna, ulva fasciata, ulva lactuca, solieria robusta, and melanothamnus afaqhusainii, were evaluated for th...

Soluble factors appear to be present in both nuclei and cytoplasm of Krebs 2 ascites tumour cells capable of stimulating the enzyme catalysed methylation of DNA in isolated nuclei from these cells.

We have analyzed Ca2+ transport activity in defined subcellular fractions of an isogenic set of wild-type and mutant yeast. The results, together with measurements of polypeptide expression levels and promoter::reporter gene activity, show that the Golgi Ca2+-ATPase, Pmr1, is the major Ca2+ pump under normal growth conditions. In the absence of Pmr1, we show a massive, calcineurin-dependent com...

appropriate management of soil phosphorus (p) fertility in highly calcareous soils of iran as around the world should rely upon sound knowledge about the phosphorus reserve and its bioavailability. despite numerous reports on the positive effects of vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizae (vam) fungi on phosphorus uptake which is associated to ectomycorrhiza as a branch of two major branches of group ...

this study investigated the effect of season (wet and dry) on milk composition of the dromedary camel (camelus dromedarius). milk samples representing the wet and dry seasons were analyzed for total solids (ts), fat (f), solids-non-fat (snf), ash, crude protein (cp), nitrogen soluble at ph 4.6 (sn), mineral content (mc) and casein fraction (cnf). camel milk had higher (p<0.05) fat content in th...
