Barium (Ba) incorporated in the calcite of many foraminiferal species is proportional to the concentration of Ba in seawater. Since the open ocean concentration of Ba closely follows seawater alkalinity, foraminiferal Ba /Ca can be used to reconstruct the latter. Alternatively, Ba /Ca from foraminiferal shells can also be used to reconstruct salinity in coastal settings in which seawater Ba con...

The standard-of-care treatment for biliary atresia (BA) is surgical restoration of bile flow by Kasai portoenterostomy. We aimed to study serum interleukin- (IL-) 12p40, a natural antagonist for the proinflammatory IL-12p70, and its relation to surgical outcomes of BA. The study included 75 infants with neonatal cholestasis: BA group (n = 25), non-BA cholestasis group (n = 30), and neglected BA...

Butyric acid (BA), one of the short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), has positive actions on the metabolism, inflammation, etc. However, whether it influences the reproductive physiology and if so the detail mechanism involved has not yet been determined. In this study, the porcine granulosa cells (PGCs) were treated with gradient concentrations of BA. After 24h culture, 0.05mM BA significantly stimu...

Boswellic acids are the effective components of gum resin of Boswellia serrata, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies on brain tumors and leukemic cells indicate that boswellic acids may have antiproliferative and apoptotic effects with the mechanisms being not studied in detail. We studied their antiproliferative and apoptotic effects on colon cancer cells and the pathway lead...

Objective. This study was undertaken to determine whether serial bone age (BA) radiographs were obtained in patients with growth hormone deficiency and to assess whether there were differences in outcome between subjects with and without monitoring of BA radiographs. Research Design and Methods. Data were collected from the National Cooperative Growth Study database on growth hormone-deficient ...

Several algebraic structures have been studied by many authors to discuss the relationships among them. This article aims study two structures, namely semigroup and BA-algebra, combining them in one form, BA-semigroup investigate some of its properties. paper BA-sub-semigroup, an ideal BA-homomorphism a with their Some examples are given illustrate results.

The electrochemical reduction of benzalacetone (BA) has been studied at mercury cathodes in N,N-dimethylformamide solutions by the techniques of cyclic voltammetry and controlled potential coulometry. The radical anion (BA'-) forms ion pairs with tetraethylammonium cations and then disappears in oligomerization processes. Atentative structureof the dimer BA BA"-... (C2H5)4N+is suggested on the ...
