new approach of breast cancer therapy is developed toward combination therapy with agent that have a specific molecular target. our previous study showed that citrus aurantifolia lime peels ethanolic extract (cpe) increased the sensitivity of mcf-7 cells againts doxorubicin. this study aims to observe the mechanism of combination cpe and doxorubicin in cell cycle modulation and apoptosis on mcf...

considering great medicinal value of hyssopus officinalis l. and possibility of its mass production through in vitro culture, two individual experiments was conducted. effect of various concentrations (0, 2.2, 4.4 and 11 µmol) of tdz and bap in combination with 1 µmol of iaa on direct regeneration from nodal explants were assessed. significant difference between treatments was observed (p≤ 0.01...

in surrogate pregnancies genetic parents have little opportunity for early bonding with their infants either prenatally (in utero) or during the immediate postnatal period. procedures commonly used to induce lactation include both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic methods often in combination. studies reporting induced lactation are sparse due to the rarity of augmented lactation. here we repo...

This study was undertaken to compare the induction characteristics of conventional thiopentone sodium, midazolam, and a combination of midazolam and thiopentone sodium as co-induction agent. Total one hundred and fifty patients of ASA grade I and II were divided into three groups in a double blind randomized study. Group-I received midazolam 0.25 mgkg-1 intravenously, group–II received thiopent...

We present a bidding strategy that enables an agent to bid in multiple English auctions. Based on a backward induction method, this Backward InDuction Strategy (BIDS) seeks to maximize the value of a utility function. In general, the agent needs to determine whether to bid in the next available auction. Note that it may be better to stop bidding if the current utility (the utility associated wi...

conclusions combination of propofol-ketamine may be recommended as an effective and safe induction agent for attenuating hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation with better hemodynamic stability. although, further well-designed randomized clinical trials to confirm the safety and efficacy of this combination, especially in critically ill patients or patients with cardiovascular dis...

Universal induction solves in principle the problem of choosing a prior to achieve optimal inductive inference. The AIXI theory, which combines control theory and universal induction, solves in principle the problem of optimal behavior of an intelligent agent. A practically most important and very challenging problem is to find a computationally efficient (if not optimal) approximation for the ...

Propofol is a popular agent for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia, as well as an excellent sedative agent widely used in ambulatory anaesthesia. Although involuntary movements due to propofol are well known, the occurrence of propofol-related seizure activity in patients with no previous history of epilepsy is less well highlighted. These seizures may occur at all stages of anaesthesia: ...

This work aims to study the effect of a nucleating agent on cement hydration. Firstly, C-S-H crystal nucleation early strength (CNA) is prepared. Then, effects CNA hydration mechanism, enhancement effect, content, 28-days degree and fractal dimension products are studied by kinetics calculation, resistivity test, BET specific surface area test quantitative analysis backscattered electron (BSE) ...
