The body maintains Mg(2+) homeostasis by renal and intestinal (re)absorption. However, the molecular mechanisms that mediate transepithelial Mg(2+) transport are largely unknown. Transient receptor potential melastatin 6 (TRPM6) was recently identified and shown to function in active epithelial Mg(2+) transport in intestine and kidney. To define the relationship between Mg(2+) status and TRPM6 ...

3-chloroaniline (3CA) concentrations were measured in aqueous solution by UV/Vis spectrophotometer. Validation of the calibration curve’s linearity, instrumental precision (RSD%), limits detection and quantification accomplished. The coefficient curve (1.0–10.0 mgL?1 3CA) had a high correlation (R2 = 0.9997) was range (RSD% 0.50–0.74%, n 10). LOD LOQ from regression analysis 0.20 0.61 mgL?1, re...

Arsenic (As) pollution is a major environmental and agricultural issue across the world. Due to industrialization over exploitation of ground water are two most important factors for occurrence arsenic in water. The irrigation contaminated poses threat not only plant system ultimately it affects all living forms on global. Early germination seedlings affected by concurrent increase As exposure ...

This study was conducted to determine the antiproliferative activity of 24 Korean wild vegetables. The methanol extracts of these wild vegetables were used against lung, breast, colon and gastric cancer cells, and the results were assessed by MTT assay. It was found that at the extract concentration of 400 mgL(-1) 14 plants exercised antiproliferative activity over 80% against the lung cancer c...

The objective of this study was to determine how alternative on-site wastewater treatment systems (i.e. subsurface flow constructed wetlands, intermittent sand filters and intermittent peat filters) affect the viability and culturability of Salmonella choleraesuis (serotype typhimurium, ATCC 23567). Influent was a high strength septic tank effluent (BOD5 240-344 mgL(-1), TN approximately 100 mg...

malathion (s-(1, 2-dicarboethoxyethyl) o, o-dimethyl phosphorodithioate) is one of the organophosphate pesticides comprehensively used in agriculture fields throughout the world. in spite of widely used, little information are available about dna damage in aquatic organisms. therefore, the present study carried out to investigation of dna damage induced by malathion in cyprinus carpio (pisces: ...

A novel adsorbent-activated carbon-loaded cellulose composite bead (AC-CCB) was synthesized by sol-gel conversion for the removal of methylene blue (MB) from an aqueous solution. The adsorbent characterized Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), and X-ray energy dispersive (EDAX). maximum dye found to be 96.5, 92.3, 81.8 %, correspo...

OBJECTIVE To compare concentration of contrast medium for vascular opacification at ascending aorta using retrospective reconstruction of coronary CT angiography. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study. MATERIAL AND METHOD Eighty-four patients undergoing coronary CT angiography with 16 multi-detector rows at Siriraj Hospital between September 2003 and July 2004 were included in this study. The pa...

We examine various versions of oriented cohomology and BorelMoore homology theories in algebraic geometry and put these two together in the setting of an “oriented duality theory”, a generalization of Bloch-Ogus twisted duality theory. We apply this to give a Borel-Moore homology version MGL ∗,∗ of Voevodsky’s MGL-theory, and a natural map θ : Ω∗ → MGL 2∗,∗ , where Ω∗ is the algebraic cobordism...

A mutagenesis programme was carried out using physical mutagens (gamma rays) on Cucumis melo cv. Bathasa. In irradiated seeds the number of shoots formed in the lower doses was significantly higher than the controls. Decrease in the number of shoots and shoot bud formation was observed with higher doses in all the explants studies. There was complete lethality in the 10, 15 and 20 kR doses. In ...
