UNLABELLED (J Diabetes Invest, doi: 10.1111/j.2040-1124.2012.00224.x, 2012) Aims/Introduction:  The Japanese Red Cross Society introduced measurement of glycated albumin (GA) for all blood donors as a glycemic control marker. The GA levels were examined by sex and age. MATERIALS AND METHODS   GA was measured in 3.14 million blood donors who donated between April 2009 and March 2010. For the r...

the concept of geometric-arithmetic indices was introduced in the chemical graph theory.these indices are defined by the following general formula:   ( )2( ) uv e g u vu vq qq qga g ,where qu is some quantity that in a unique manner can be associated with the vertex u ofgraph g. in this paper the exact formula for two types of geometric-arithmetic index of vphenylenicnanotube are given.

The synthesis, (68)Ga-labeling and in vitro study of the novel tyrosine chelate derivative [(68)Ga]Ga-1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,7-diacetic acid-4,10-di-(O-butyl)-l-tyrosine ([(68)Ga]Ga-DO(2)A-(OBu-l-tyr)(2)) as a potential tracer for imaging tumor metabolism by positron emission tomography (PET) is presented. This approach combines the biological amino acid transporter targeting properti...

The most common optimization method for the of injection mold process parameters is range analysis, but there often a nonlinear coupling relationship between molding and quality indicators. Therefore, it difficult to find optimal combination in analysis. In this article, genetic algorithm optimized extreme learning machine network model (GA-ELM) combined with (GA) was proposed optimize mold. Ta...

background: gallic acid (ga) is an endogenous plant phenol known to have antioxidant, free radical scavenging ability, anti‑inflammatory, anti‑cancer, and anti‑fungal properties. the aim of this study was to assess the protective effect of ga on cyclophosphamide (cpa)‑induced hepatotoxicity in male wistar rats. methods: sixty rats were grouped into six groups of 10 rats per group. group 1 recei...

Gallic acid (GA) was encapsulated with native (NIn), cross-linked (CIn) and acetylated (AIn) inulin by spray-drying. Inulin microparticles were characterized by encapsulation efficiency (EE) and their release profile in yogurt. The EE was significantly higher for GA-CIn (98%) compared with GA-NIn (81%) and GA-AIn (77%) microparticles, showing the effect of the modification of inulin on interact...

The diterpenoid phytohormone gibberellin (GA) controls diverse developmental processes throughout the plant life cycle. DELLA proteins are master growth repressors that function immediately downstream of the GA receptor to inhibit GA signaling. By doing so, DELLAs also play pivotal roles as integrators of internal developmental signals from multiple hormone pathways and external cues. DELLAs ar...

Gibberellins (GAs) play many biological roles in higher plants. We collected and performed genetic analysis on rice (Oryza sativa) GA-related mutants, including GA-deficient and GA-insensitive mutants. Genetic analysis of the mutants revealed that rice GA-deficient mutations are not transmitted as Mendelian traits to the next generation following self-pollination of F1 heterozygous plants, alth...

a true estimation of gestational age (ga) plays an important role in quality maternity care and scheduling the labor date. this study aimed to evaluate the normal fetal kidney length (kl) and its correlation with ga. a cross-sectional study on 92 pregnant women between 8th and 10th week of gestation with normal singleton pregnancy underwent standard ultrasound fetal biometry and kidney length m...
