The interactive effects of nickel (Ni) and ascorbic acid (AsA) and gibberellin (GA3) on soybean seedlings (Glycine max L. cv. Union × Elf) were examined. Seven-day old hydroponically-grown seedlings were exposed to NiCl2, 6H2O (0.5 mM), either with or without AsA (1 mM) or GA3 (0.05 mM) or AsA (1 mM) plus GA3 (0.05 mM), for five days. Nickel toxicity symptoms, such as formation of reddish-brown...

This paper reports the effect of triptolide (a diterpenoid triepoxide) on the development of monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary hypertension in pneumonectomized rats. Male Sprague- Dawley rats were injected with MCT (60 mg/kg) on Day 7 after left pneumonectomy. Rats received therapy from Day 5 to 35 with triptolide (0.25 mg/kg intraperitoneally, every other day, n = 10), or vehicle (0.1 ml o...

Tissue-cultured nerve fibres derived from 3 species of amphibian embryos were composed of bundles of neurites, when viewed by electron microscopy, and contained particles moving in both directions by saltations. Photokymographic analysis of cin6 microscopy records taken with Zeiss differential interference optics demonstrated instantaneous particle velocities ranging from 0-15 to i-8 fim s" (13...

Background: Indisetron is a serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine type 3) receptor antagonist that also antagonizes 5-hydroxytryptamine type 4 receptors. We designed a pilot study in order to explore the optimal dosing period for indisetron during modified FOLFOX6 (mFOLFOX6). Patients and Methods: Forty-two chemotherapy-naive patients with advanced colorectal cancer scheduled to receive mFOLFOX6 were ...

INTRODUCTION Multiple myeloma (MM) is a B-cell malignancy of terminally differentiated plasma cells within the bone marrow. Despite intense research to develop new treatments, cure is almost never achieved. Alpha-radioimmunotherapy (RIT) has been shown to be effective in vivo in a MM model. In order to define where alpha-RIT stands in MM treatment, the aim of this study was to compare Melphalan...

With the increase of fire in high-rise buildings recent years, demand for high-performance Water Tower Fire Truck (WTFT) is increasing day by day. In order to improve injection capacity ultrafine dry powder WTFT, this article adopts way adding blow-assisted pipe realize nitrogen-assisted blowing, and internal flow field existing was analyzed optimized CFD simulation. The influence law size para...

We examined the effect of distraction rate on blood vessel growth in intramembraneous ossification after vertical distraction osteogenesis in the human mandible. Six patients (aged 60 ± 9 years) with a severely atrophic mandible underwent bone augmentation with distraction osteogenesis. Two distraction rates (0.5 and 1 mm/day) were compared and for each group three patients were analyzed. Vascu...
