INTRODUCTION Transurethral resection of the prostate is the gold standard of surgical treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms associated to benign prostate hyperplasia. The new Green Light Photovaporization has been shown to be an alternative that is as effective for this condition as the transurethral resection of the prostate. OBJECTIVES To compare the efficiency of Green Light Photovapor...

Environmental governance is an important indicator of the development of green logistics. It mainly include the solid waste utilization rate, pollution abatement investment, sewage treatment rate of logistics industry. It takes Beijing as an example, compares the environment governance development level of Beijing with the country, and gets analysis and comparison of the development level of Be...

The effect of high pressure treatment on biochemical changes during storage was investigated using Brassica rapa root. High pressure treated samples with 400 and 600 MPa formed unique green-blue color during 7-d storage at 4 degrees C. The mechanism of green-blue compound formation would be based on biochemical pathway for a unique green-blue pigment synthesis, containing O2-dependent steps and...

Foodborne diseases affect millions of people each year. To reduce the incidence of bacterial foodborne pathogens more effective treatment methods are needed. In this study, we evaluated the effect of marinating chicken breast fillets with extracts of lemon, green tea and turmeric against Campylobacter jejuni and Salmonella enteritidis. The prepared plant extracts in phosphate buffered saline we...

OBJECTIVE Several different epidemiological studies have examined the association between the consumption of tea and coronary heart disease. Some, though not all, support the view that tea or flavonoids reduce the risk of cardiovascular heart disease. The aim of this study was to determine the short-to medium-term effect of a green tea extract on vascular function and lipid peroxidation as comp...

Green tea contains catechins and caffeine as major constituents. Treatment of rats with green tea (2.5% w/v) significantly increased 7-ethoxycoumarin O-deethylase (7-ECOD), caffeine N-1 demethylase (CN1D) and UDP-glucuronyltransferase (UGT) activities. Treatment with caffeine similarly activated CYP1A2 and related monooxygenases as well as UGT, while treatment with catechins induced UGT activit...

In formal scattering theory, Green functions are obtained as solutions of a distributional equation. In this paper, we use the Sturm-Liouville theory to compute Green functions within a rigorous mathematical theory. We shall show that both the Sturm-Liouville theory and the formal treatment yield the same Green functions. We shall also show how the analyticity of the Green functions as function...

Background: Cadmium is a potential pollutant of the environment. It manifests cyto-toxic effects in different organs in animals. In the testis, changes due to disruption of the blood-testis barrier and oxidative stress have been noted. Therefore, the present study was carried out to investigate the potential protective effects of vitamin E and green tea extract in combination against cadmium (C...
