As the fluctuations of the internal bioelectricity of nervous system is various and complex, the external electromagnetic radiation induced by magnet flux on membrane can be described by the non-Gaussian type distribution of Lévy noise. Thus, the electrical activities in an improved Hindmarsh-Rose model excited by the external electromagnetic radiation of Lévy noise are investigated and some in...

Silybin, a major pharmacologically active compound in silymarin, has been widely used in combination with other prescriptions in the clinic to treat hepatitis and a host of other diseases. Previous studies suggested that silybin is a potential inhibitor of multiple drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs); however, the in vitro to in vivo translation and the mechanisms involved remain established. The ...

A gene induction competition assay has recently uncovered new inhibitory activities of two transcriptional cofactors, NELF-A and NELF-B, in glucocorticoid-regulated transactivation. NELF-A and -B are also components of the NELF complex, which participates in RNA polymerase II pausing shortly after the initiation of gene transcription. We therefore asked if cofactors (Cdk9 and ELL) best known to...

Chum salmon skin gelatin, de-isoflavoned soy protein, and casein were hydrolyzed at two degrees of hydrolysis. Genistein, the prepared hydrolysates, and genistein-hydrolysate combinations were assessed for their proliferative and anti-apoptotic effects on human osteoblasts (hFOB 1.19) to clarify potential cooperative effects between genistein and these hydrolysates in these two activities. Geni...

as it has proven the increase of mechanical strain could resulted to increase of bnp (protein brain natriuretic peptide) in blood stream of implanted patient pacemakers. we measured the bnp concentration in blood due to different mode and lead implantation location of pacemaker in the time period of three month. the aim of study was the investigation of change trend of bnp level after pacemaker...

Transportation is a kind of derived demand from social and economic activities. The transportation has been increasing with the rapid development China's economy. Meanwhile it resulted in some negative problems, especially cities. Based on fully understanding connotation theoretical foundation urban ecological transportation, this paper summarizes typical mode, analyzes mode selection status Be...

caesarean section is considered as a major surgery which is accompanied by several complications. the present study aimed to determine the effect of behavioral intention model-based educational intervention on reducing the caesarean section among pregnant women. the present interventional study was conducted on 100 primiparous women in the third trimester of pregnancy who were covered by the he...

abstract the utility of carbon paste electrode for the determination of flavoxate hcl modified with flavoxate-tetraphenylborate (flx-tpb) and flavoxate-phosphotungestic acid (flx-pta) ion-pairs in batch mode is demonstrated. the electrodes revealed a nernstian response over a wide concentration ranges 1.39×10-5-1x10-2 mol l-1 and1×10-5-1x10-2 mol l-1 using flx-tpb and flx-pta, respectively. the...

in recent years, the application of composite materials in aircraft and space vehicle structural components has become increasingly popular. preventing failure of composite structural systems has been an important issue in engineering design. due to the lack of through-the-thickness reinforcement, structures made from laminated composite materials and adhesively bonded joints are highly suscept...
