Cimicifuga racemosa L. NUTT), have since long been used as a popular herbal medicine to alleviate menopausal symptoms. Apart from the use of Cimicifuga racemosa extracts (CR) for treating menopausal symptoms mainly in the European countries and United States, CR have long been used for the treatment of rheumatism, and as antipyretic and analgesic agents in Japan and China. An isopropanolic extr...

Susceptibilities of 5 different mice strains, including C3H/HeN, BALB/c, C57BL6, FvB and ICR, to Echinostoma hortense infection, was evaluated. The worm expulsion rate, worm size and egg production were observed from 1 to 8 weeks after infection with 30 metacercariae. C3H/HeN and ICR mice showed the highest worm maturation rates. The worm recovery rate and the number of eggs per gram (EPG) of f...

Ion current rectification (ICR) is the ratio of ion by forward bias to backward and a critical indicator diode performance. In previous studies, there have been many attempts improve performance this ICR, but intrinsic problem for geometric changes that induce ionic due fabrication problems. Additionally, high ICR could be achieved in narrow salt concentration range only. Here, we propose multi...

Abstract Background Early treatment of Crohn’s disease (CD) often involves biologics such as anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents. Ileocecal resection (ICR), while a therapeutic option in early CD, is generally reserved for complicated CD or when medical fails. We aimed to compare long-term outcomes ICR and anti-TNF therapy index ileocecal initiated within one year diagnosis, the Danish...

Prior Bangladeshi studies on the relationship between credit risk management and financial performance of listed banks suffered from a dynamic endogeneity bias, which led to misleading conclusions. As result, this study examines impact Dhaka Stock Exchange for period 2011 2018. The equity multiplier ratio (EMR), capital adequacy (CAR), non-performing loan (NPL) ratio, interest coverage (ICR), p...

Animal models for gastric ulcers produced by physical, pharmacological and surgical methods have been widely employed to evaluate therapeutic drugs and investigate the mechanism of action of this disease. ICR mice were selected to produce this model, even though several mice and rats have been widely used in studies of gastric ulcers. To compare the responses of ICR mice obtained from three dif...

BACKGROUND The ongoing EORTC 22042-26042 trial evaluates the efficacy of high-dose radiotherapy (RT) in atypical/malignant meningioma. The results of the Dummy Run (DR) and prospective Individual Case Review (ICR) were analyzed in this Quality Assurance (QA) study. MATERIAL/METHODS Institutions were requested to submit a protocol compliant treatment plan for the DR and ICR, respectively. DR-p...

Genomic imprints-parental allele-specific DNA methylation marks at the differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of imprinted genes-are erased and reestablished in germ cells according to the individual's sex. Imprint establishment at paternally methylated germ line DMRs occurs in fetal male germ cells. In prospermatogonia, the two unmethylated alleles exhibit different rates of de novo methylat...
