Four essential oils of Thyme (Thymus linearis), Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus), Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis), Mint (Mentha longifolia) and Formic Acid (65%) used at three concentrations (25, 50 and 100%) against Varroa destructor damaging honey bee Apis mellifera colonies in Honeybee Research Institute, National Agricultural Research Centre, Islamabad, Pakistan. The percentage of infest...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to develop intraperitoneal hyperthermic therapy based on magnetic fluid hyperthermia, nanoparticle-wrapped cisplatin chemotherapy, and magnetic particles of albumin. In addition, to combine the multiple-killing effects of hyperthermal targeting therapy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the albumin-nanoparticle surfaces were linked with radionuclide (188)R...

Deflection profiles of y} and y are shown in Fig. 1 for M -100 kg, 7=490 kN, c = 307 m/sec, a = 226 m/sec, at t = 0.68, 1.02 ane 1.29 sec. At these times the mass positions are * = 52, 118, and 188 m. As shown in Fig. 1, maximum deflection is at the mass location. To determine the adequacy of the simplified mathematical model used in the analyses, the cable deflection at a known position was mo...

The search for methods to increase the meat content of pigs is currently paramount importance. assessment and fat qualities purebred Precocious Meat breed Large White breed, as well their crossbreeds with each other specialized breeds Landrace Black at slaughter a live weight 100 kg 120 was carried out.

Purpose The aim of this study was to monitor carbohydrate metabolism alongside cardiac structure and function, throughout HF progression. Methods Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) was induced in pigs (n = 4) by rapid ventricular pacing at 188 bpm for 4-5 weeks. Pigs were examined at baseline and at weekly time points throughout DCM progression. At each time point, cine MRI was used to assess cardiac...

Elucidation of the molecular targets and pathways regulated by the tumour-suppressive miRNAs can shed light on the oncogenic and metastatic processes in prostate cancer (PCa). Using miRNA profiling analysis, we find that miR-188-5p was significantly down-regulated in metastatic PCa. Down-regulation of miR-188-5p is an independent prognostic factor for poor overall and biochemical recurrence-fre...

SP94 (SFSIIHTPILPL), a novel peptide, has shown specific binding to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells. We aimed to investigate the capability of SP94 as a targeting probe for HCC imaging and therapy following labeling with technetium-99m ((99m)Tc) and rhenium-188 ((188)Re). HYNIC-SP94 was prepared by solid phase synthesis and then labeled with (99m)Tc. Cell competitive binding, internalizati...

Five young adult Rhesus monkeys were included in this study. The weight of the animals ranged from 3.4 to 4.0 kg, with a mean of 3.6 kg. Each animal was restrained and anesthetized with ketamine HC1 at 25 mg/kg IM. An intravenous fluid of 5% dextrose and water with 1/4 normal saline was initiated and profused at a maintenance rate. Each monkey received intranasal midazolam (VersedTM, Roche Phar...
