This study was to investigate the effects of Rosa laevigata Michx. (RLM) extract on reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) in lens epithelial cells (LECs) cultured under high glucose. SRA01/04 cell models of diabetic cataract were established by high glucose culture, and these cells were administrated with RLM extract. Levels of ROS and MMP in SRA01/...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of hypo-attenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) and reduced leaflet motion (RLM) is unknown in surgically implanted bioprostheses because systematic investigation of HALT and/or RLM is limited to a few catheter-based valves. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of HALT and RLM by cardiac computed tomography in patients who underwent surgical aortic valv...

OBJECTIVES The rostrolateral medulla (RLM) has been identified in animals as an important site of chemosensitivity; in humans such site(s) have not been defined. The aim of this study was to investigate the physiological implications of unilateral lesions in the lower brainstem on the control of breathing. METHODS In 15 patients breathing was measured awake at rest, asleep, during exercise, a...

The ability of cells to bind to nylon fibers coated with lectin molecules interspaced with varying numbers of albumin molecules has been analyzed. The cells used were lymphoma cells, normal lymphocytes, myeloid leukemia cells, and normal and transformed fibroblasts, and the fibers were coated with different densities of concanavalin A or the lectins from soybean or wheat germ. Cells fixed with ...

Permutation statistics wm¯ and rlm are both arising from permutation tableaux. was introduced by Chen Zhou, which proved equally distributed with the number of unrestricted rows a tableau. While is shown Nadeau 1’s in first row In this paper, we investigate joint distribution rlm. Statistic (rlm, wm¯, rlmin, des, (321)) on Sn. Then generating function wm¯) follows. An involution constructed to ...

Cytotoxic T cell (CTL) memory was analyzed after infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and recombinant Listeria monocytogenes (rLM) expressing the complete nucleoprotein of LCMV (rLM-NP(actA)) or only the immunodominant epitope of H-2(d) mice (rLM-NP(118-126)). Immunization with LCMV and rLM induced a long-lived increased CTL precursor (CTLp) frequency specific for the viral ...

Layered multicast is a promising technique for broadcasting adaptive-quality video to heterogeneous receivers. Past evaluation of layered multicast protocols has focused on the effectiveness of determining the maximal number of layers that can be delivered to each receiver. Unfortunately, this is only a partial metric and does not capture all aspects of the “viewing experience”. This paper exte...

Biogas digesters are commonly used in livestock farming in China. The digestion process converts large amounts of raw liquid manure (RLM) to biogas digester effluent (BDE). The BDE is then stored on the farm for some time before land application as crop or orchard nutrients. Storage of RLM or BDE is associated with gas emissions, although little information is available concerning comparison of...

Renal Lymphangiectasia (RLM) is a very infrequent benign lymphatic disorder. RLM often misdiagnosed for other disorders suchas cystic renal masses, usually polycystic kidneys. Although parenthetically found in different cases, probable cause of renalfailure and hypertension undiagnosed victims. The etiology unclear results from the formation masses anddilatation perinephric channels. In sinus, ...

We have suggested that adenine-related compounds are allosteric inhibitors of UGT in rat liver microsomes (RLM) treated with detergent. To clarify whether the same occurs with a pore-forming peptide, alamethicin, the effects of adenine-related compounds on 4-metylumbelliferone (4-MU) glucuronidation were examined using RLM and human liver microsomes (HLM). ATP inhibited 4-MU glucuronidation whe...
