Predictors of adolescent functioning were studied in an ethnically diverse sample of girls with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; n = 140) and age- and ethnicity-matched comparison girls (n = 88) who participated in naturalistic summer programs during childhood. Over a 5-year follow-up (sample retention = 92%; age range = 11.3-18.2 years), conduct problems were predicted by hypera...

Phytate is not only an unavailable source of phosphorus (P) for broilers but it also acts as an anti-nutrient, reducing protein and mineral absorption, increasing endogenous losses and reducing broiler performance. The objective of this study was to investigate the anti-nutritional effects of phytate by including high levels of phytase in diets not severely limited in available P. A total of 76...

This study determined the effects of rumen-protected methionine (RPM) supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, nitrogen (N) utilisation and plasma amino acid profiles Liaoning cashmere goats during fibre growth. Twenty-four yearling male (body weight: 35.41 ± 1.13 kg) were randomly assigned to four dietary treatments: a corn–soybean meal basal diet deficient in (negative c...

PURPOSE Dynamic positron emission tomography (PET) imaging can identify patterns of breast cancer metabolism and perfusion in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NC) that are predictive of response. This analysis examines tumor metabolism and perfusion by tumor subtype. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Tumor subtype was defined by immunohistochemistry in 71 patients with locally advanced breast c...

In the network-based DNC systems and especially heterogeneous DNC systems, data get more distributed due to the ability to store not only in the DNC Server, but also in the CNC controller or CNC Terminal. This presents a challenge to the DNC software in the implementation of its basic functions. The agent-based DNC software with assistants (ADNC) is suggested to solve the above problem. Its tas...

The report presents a randomized study to assess the significance of psychosocial (PS) factors for dominant brain form atherosclerosis – cerebrovascular disease (CVD), using battery original tests and quantify status subjects validated test conventional risk factors, compiled in an integrated questionnaire. enrolled total 201 subjects: normal control group (NC, N=100); patients with CVD (CVD; N...

There is still a need for the evaluation of alternative feed additives, including organic acids such as butyric acid, when fed in broiler diets without antibiotic growth promoters. The removal or limitation promoting antibiotics from commercial production changes opportunities additives poultry industry and allows replacement that may not have been cost effective are available. Therefore, an ex...

BACKGROUND To identify the effects of microRNA (miR)-219-5p on morphine-induced apoptosis by targeting WEE1. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty Balb/C mice (Toll-like receptor 9, TLR9 knockout) were randomly allocated to the experimental and control groups (20 in each group). The baseline miR-219-5p expression was detected using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). After morphine was injected at 6 h o...

Negative curvature hollow-core fibers (NC-HCFs) can boost the excellent performance of HCFs in terms propagation loss, nonlinearity, and latency, while retaining large core delicate cladding structures, which makes them distinctly different from conventional fibers. Construction low-loss all-fiber NC-HCF architecture with single-mode (SMFs) is important for various applications. Here we demonst...
