PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the improved absorption and in vivo kinetic characteristics of a novel water-in-oil nanoemulsion containing evodiamine-phospholipid nanocomplex (NEEPN) when administered orally. METHODS NEEPN was fabricated by loading an evodiamine-phospholipid nanocomplex into a water-in-oil nanoemulsive system. The gastrointestinal absorption of NEEPN was inve...

      In this study, the interaction between NO2+ cation and Hen (n = 1-7) clusters is investigated by means of ab initio calculations at MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ and QCISD/aug-cc-pVTZ computational levels. The first and second solvation shells were obtained while N atom of NO2+ interacts with five and two He atoms, respectively. Stabilizat...

in this case report we will describe a rare association between anhyrotic ectodermal dysplasia (aed) and immunodeficiency and autoimmunity [in our case: idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (itp) and crohn disease]. aed is a rare congenital disorder characterized by sparse hair, abnormal teeth and anhidrosis due to lack of eccrine glands. the survey of 87 cases with (aed) revealed only one irrit...

We recently identified X-linked ectodermal dysplasia receptor (XEDAR, also known as TNFRSF27 or EDA2R) as a direct p53 target that was frequently downregulated in colorectal cancer tissues due to its epigenetic alterations or through the p53 gene mutations. However, the role of the posttranslational regulation of XEDAR protein in colorectal carcinogenesis was not well clarified thus far. Here, ...

Loss aversion is a defining characteristic of prospect theory, whereby responses are stronger to losses than to equivalently sized gains (Kahneman & Tversky Econometrica, 47, 263-291, 1979). By monitoring electrodermal activity (EDA) during a gambling task, in this study we examined physiological activity during risky decisions, as well as to both obtained (e.g., gains and losses) and counterfa...

Intermolecular interactions of different configurations in the HOClO3···CO and HOClO3···H2O dyad and CO···HOClO3···H2O triad systems have been studied at MP2/6-311++G(2d,2p) computational level. Molecular geometries, binding energies, cooperative energies, many-body interaction energies, and Energy Decomposition Analysis (EDA) were eval...

To study the changes on the electrical characteristics of the skin several problems have to be solved. We present a model for the electrodermal activity (EDA) that provides the means to detect and quantify four event types: a discrete event; a pair of events overlapping in the increasing zone; a pair of events overlapping in a decreasing zone; and an isolated small event. The presented EDA mode...

We have evaluated the strength of aromatic donor-acceptor interactions between dialkyl naphthalenediimide and dialkoxynaphthalene in non-polar environments. (1)H NMR, UV-vis spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry were used to characterise this interaction. We concluded that the strength of donor-acceptor interactions in heptane is sufficient to drive supramolecular assemblies in this...

OBJECTIVE Many psychophysiological studies investigate whether psychopaths present low levels of electrodermal activity (EDA). However, despite evidence that varying degrees of psychopathy are normally distributed in the population, there is a paucity of EDA studies evaluating dimensionally. Moreover, although lack of empathy is a cornerstone of psychopathy, there has been a lack of studies usi...

The electrodermal activity (EDA) is a reliable physiological signal for monitoring the sympathetic nervous system. Several studies have demonstrated that EDA can be a source of effective markers for the assessment of emotional states in humans. There are two main methods for measuring EDA: endosomatic (internal electrical source) and exosomatic (external electrical source). Even though the exos...
