Background & Aims: Considering the higher incidence of cardiovascular disorders in diabetes mellitus and some evidence on antioxidant and antidiabetic potential of Tribulus terrestris (TT), this study was conducted to evaluate the beneficial effect of 6-week oral administration of TT on contractile reactivity of isolated thoracic aorta in diabetic rats. Methods: Female Wistar rats were divided ...

Most dynamic languages allow users to turn text into code using various functions, often named <tt>eval</tt>, with language-dependent semantics. The widespread use of these reflective functions hinders static analysis and prevents compilers from performing optimizations. This paper aims provide a better sense why programmers <tt>eval</tt>. Understanding <tt>eval&lt...

objective(s) the immunoadjuvant potential of cross-linked dextran microspheres (cdm) as absorption enhancer and quillaja saponins (qs) as immunomodulator adjuvant was evaluated. materials and methods cdm loaded or tetanus-mixed toxoid (tt) or quillaja saponin (qs) were nasally administered to rabbits in dry powder form, three times in 2 weeks interval and serum igg and nasal lavage siga titers ...

Five novel fluorescent materials, TT-TPA, TT-TPE, TPA-TT-TPA, TPE-TT-TPE, and TPA-TT-TPE, containing a strongly electron-donating triphenylamine (TPA) bulky tetraphenylethylene (TPE), linked through thienothiophene, 4-thieno[3,2-b]thiophen-3-ylbenzonitrile, possessing electron-withdrawing nitrile moiety, were systematically designed, synthesized, their optical electrochemical properties compare...

With the advent of Square Kilometre Array Observatory (SKAO), scientists will be able to directly observe Epoch Reionization by mapping distribution neutral hydrogen at different redshifts. While physically motivated results can simulated with radiative transfer codes, these simulations are computationally expensive and not readily produce required scale resolution simultaneously. Here we intro...

Galaxy mergers are known to host abundant young massive cluster (YMC) populations, whose formation mechanism is still not well-understood. Here, we present a high-resolution galaxy merger simulation with explicit star and stellar feedback prescriptions investigate how affect the properties of interstellar medium YMCs. Compared controlled an isolated galaxy, mass fraction dense high-pressure gas...

background: adjuvants are used to increase the immunogenicity of new generation vaccines, especially those based on recombinant proteins. despite immunostimulatory properties, the use of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (lps) as an adjuvant has been hampered due to its toxicity and pyrogenicity. brucella abortus lps is less toxic and has no pyrogenic properties compared to lps from other gram negat...

Supernates of human T cells stimulated with TT antigen contain a factor that induces mitogenesis and immunoglobulin synthesis in autologous as well as allogeneic B cells. A fraction of the IgG produced has specificity against TT. The T-cell-derived LMF-TT eluted after albumin on Sephadex G 200 and did not contain immunoglobulin heavy chain determinants. LMF-TT was active on B cells from TT immu...
