To exploit the application of the on-chip cell electrophoresis system to the monitoring of the progress of cellular differentiation, the temporal change in the electrophoretic mobility (EPM) of human promyelocytic leukemia cell lines (HL60) during neutrophil differentiation was systematically investigated. Firstly, to confirm the action of two differentiation inducers, all-trans retinoic acid (...

The study evaluates the possibility of enhancing uptake of etoposide (topoisomerase II inhibitor) by tumor when delivered through polysorbate 20 micelles. The micelle formation was ascertained by determining the critical micellar concentration (CMC) with a du Nouy ring tensiometer and by size measurement using dynamic light scattering. Addition of 5% ethanol decreased the CMC of Polysorbate 20 ...

The Gender Source Book is organised into 3 parts. Part One presents the essence of the Source Book, (a) the context and the concept of gender responsive environmental planning and management (EPM), (b) the process of gender responsive EPM, drawn lessons of experiences from cities and programmes, and (c) the lessons learnt and challenges.

The aim of this work was to study age-related changes in the behaviour adult Wistar rats using open field (OF) and elevated plus maze (EPM) tests. Behavioural related motor activity anxiety were particular interest. Results showed that as male female progressed from 2 5 months age, there a decrease level exploratory activities an increase their anxiety. Age-related dependent upon initial indivi...

abstract this research was conducted in the pegah - sorkh sub-catchments area, a semi-arid region in sw iran, using geographic information systems (gis) and remote sensing (rs) to compare the erosion potential method (epm) and modified pacific southwest interagency committee (mpsiac) models in erosion-potential mapping and sediment yield assessment. the study area with approximately 4600 ha sho...
