background: an essential oil is a liquid that is generally distilled from the leaves, stems, flowers or other elements of a plant. objective: cumin (cuminum cyminum l.) essential oil (ceo) was analyzed to determine oil component. antifungal effect of ceo was determined by in vitro technique. in second stage, effect of different concentrations of ceo by pdm on postharvest life of strawberry (fra...

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of toki-shakuyaku-san (TSS) on mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). All subjects were administered TSS (7.5 g/day) for eight weeks. SPECT and evaluations using the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Neuropsychiatric Inventory, and Physical Self-Maintenance Scale w...

SatC is a noncoding subviral RNA associated with Turnip crinkle virus (TCV). A 100-nt stretch in the 3' UTR of TCV contains three hairpins and two pseudoknots that fold into a tRNA-shaped structure (TSS) that binds 80S ribosomes. The 3' half of satC is derived from TCV and contains 6-nt differences in the TSS-analogous region. SatC binds poorly to 80S ribosomes, and molecular modeling that pred...

BACKGROUND Bupleurum yinchowense Shan et Y. Li is widely used to treat depressive and anxiety disorders for hundreds of years in China. Total saikosaponins (TSS) is the major ingredient of Bupleurum yinchowense. A-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptor and subsequent mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling is responsible for synaptic maturation and may contrib...

relative resistance of 43 iranian as well as introduced apple cultivars to blue mold (penicillium expansum) was studied within years 2010-2011. the fruit physicochemical traits were also evaluated as measures of potential resistance to decay. local p. expansum strains were isolated from decayed apple fruits and the most aggressive isolate (5,000 spores ml-1) used as inoculum. fruits were wound-...

BACKGROUND Transverse sinus stenosis (TSS) is common among patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. No previous studies have reported on double-track sign detected on axial Gd-enhanced T1WI in TSS. This study aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the double-track sign in the detection of TSS. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 383 patients with trans...

BACKGROUND Concurrent cervical and lumbar spinal canal stenosis is known as tandem spinal stenosis (TSS). As research on TSS is limited, there is no consensus on the optimal surgical approach to this problem. We evaluated the prevalence and clinical characteristics of TSS in patients with symptomatic lumbar spinal canal stenosis (LCS). METHODS The authors performed a retrospective analysis of...

This research was conducted in the Post-Harvest Laboratory of Horticulture Department, Faculty Agriculture, Zagazig University, Egypt, during two seasons 2019 and 2020 to study effect dipping cherry tomatoes fruits solutions edible materials on quality storability storage at 7±2°C 90 ± 3% relative humidity for 28 days. Where were dipped chitosan nano particles (ChNPs) solution 0.5 1 %, Arabic g...
