objective: foeniculum vulgare seed (f. vulgare) is a herbal plant which is used with phytoestrogene compounds for polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) treatment. in this research, renoprotective effect of the aqueous extract of foeniculum vulgare (aef) in experimental pcos female rats is studied. materials and methods: forty female rats were randomly divided into five groups. the first group served...

-. Secondary electron yield measurements before and after Ar ion sputter cleaning were made on Nb and Nb compounds of interest for rf superconducting cavities. Total secondary electron yields (a) for primary energies 20-1500 eV were measured for solid Nb (a max = 1.3 at 300 eV), anodized NbzOs (a max = 1.2 at 300 eV) and powders of: Nb(a max = 1.0 at 400 eV), NbO (a max = 0.9 at 400 eV), NbOz (...

In thymine (T) and 5-bromouracil (BrU) the excitation of the lowest electronic states and vibrational excitation using EEL spectroscopy (0–100 eV) with angular analysis is reported. In the two molecules the singlet electronic states have been found blue-shifted by about 0.3 eV compared to the UV–Vis absorption results. Evidence has been found of triplet states at 3.6 eV for T and 3.35 eV for Br...

Enterovirus (EV) infection is a major public health issue throughout the world with potential neurological complications. This study evaluated the relationship between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and EV encephalitis in children.Data of reimbursement claims from the National Health Insurance Research Database of Taiwan were used in a population-based case-control design. The ...

A newly uncovered means of communication between cells involves intercellular transfer of nano-sized extracellular vesicles (EV), composed of lipids, proteins, and genetic material. EV released by cells of the immune system can play a regulatory role in the induction and suppression of immune responses. These functions may be mediated not only by the bioactive lipids and proteins present in EV ...

Extracellular vesicles (EV), known as exosomes and microvesicles, serve as versatile intercellular communication vehicles. Increasing evidence has shown that cancer cell-derived EV carry pathogenic components, such as proteins, messenger RNA (mRNA), microRNA (miRNA), DNA, lipids and transcriptional factors, that can mediate paracrine signaling in the tumor microenvironment. These data suggest t...

Human enterovirus B106 (EV-B106) is a new member of the enterovirus B species. To date, only three nucleotide sequences of EV-B106 have been published, and only one full-length genome sequence (the Yunnan strain 148/YN/CHN/12) is available in the GenBank database. In this study, we conducted phylogenetic characterisation of four EV-B106 strains isolated in Xinjiang, China. Pairwise comparisons ...

OBJECTIVE Electrical velocimetry (EV) is a non-invasive method of continuous left cardiac output monitoring based on measurement of thoracic electrical bioimpedance. The objective was to validate EV by investigating the agreement in cardiac output measurements performed by EV and echocardiography. DESIGN In this prospective observational study, left ventricular output (LVO) was simultaneously...
