Let F denote a field, and fix a nonzero q ∈ F such that q 6= 1. The universal Askey–Wilson algebra is the associative F-algebra ∆ = ∆q defined by generators and relations in the following way. The generators are A, B, C. The relations assert that each of A+ qBC − q−1CB q2 − q−2 , B + qCA− q−1AC q2 − q−2 , C + qAB − q−1BA q2 − q−2 is central in ∆. In this paper we discuss a connection between ∆ ...

Purpose Antiviral drugs are standard treatment for chronic hepatitis B. In traditional Chinese medicine practice, administration of drugs through acupuncture point (acupoint) is considered better than intramuscular injection or intravenous infusion. In this review, we evaluated comparative effects and safety of antiviral drugs through acupoint injection versus other administration for treatment...

The effects of bromocryptine (CB-154) on prolactin (PRL) and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion were studied in lactating sows and ovariectomized (OVX) gilts. In Exp]. 1, the litters of four sows were standardized to four pigs each at 20 to 30 d of lactation and a cannula was placed nonsurgically into the jugular vein of each sow. Twenty-four hours later (0800 h) blood samples were taken and tw...

Amphibians are suffering unprecedented global declines. A leading cause is the infectious disease chytridiomycosis caused by the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis. Chytridiomycosis is a skin disease which disrupts transport of essential ions leading to death. Soluble factors produced by B. dendrobatidis impair amphibian and mammalian lymphocytes in vitro, but previous studies have n...
