BACKGROUND The main goal of this study was to assess worldwide research activity in emergency contraception (EC) using bibliometric indicators. METHODS Data in SciVerse Scopus were searched for documents pertaining to emergency contraception. Data obtained were then exported to Microsoft Excel and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences. RESULTS A total of 2142 documents were...

An in vitro assay has been developed in order to examine the mechanism whereby the mouse blastocyst regulates embryonal carcinoma (EC). The assay measures the suppression of EC cell colony formation caused by exposure to the cavity of the blastocyst (i.e., blastocele), and the results are comparable to the previous results with blastocyst-mediated suppression of tumor formation for this same ce...

OBJECTIVES Ganoderma lucidum (GL) is one of the most commonly used Chinese herbs in the oriental community, with more than 30% of pediatric cancer patients taking GL. The immunomodulating and anticancer effects exerted by GL extracts have been demonstrated by in vitro and in vivo studies. There was, however, no comparison between the immunomodulating effects of GL mycelium extract (GL-M) and sp...

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a herpesvirus that infects cells by fusing its lipid envelope with the target cell membrane. The fusion process requires the actions of viral glycoproteins gH, gL, and gB for entry into epithelial cells and additionally requires gp42 for entry into B cells. To further study the roles of these membrane-associated glycoproteins, purified soluble forms of gp42, gH, and ...

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the electromagnetic field (EMF) generated by 10 kV (50 Hz) high voltage line on the epididymal sperm characteristics and the protective effects of ganoderma lucidum (GL) and melatonin (M) in EMF exposed male rats. Materials and Methods: In this study, 64 Wistar rats were divided into 8 groups (n= 8). Rats in 26-day and 52-day ex...

12 Uncertainty quantification is currently receiving a surge in attention in hydrology as researchers 13 are trying to better understand characteristics of the watersheds being studied and as decision 14 makers are keen to better quantify accuracy and precision of model predictions. Informal and 15 formal Bayesian approaches have been documented for assessment of parameter and model 16 predicti...

The purpose of the present study was to test the hypothesis that lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT) deficiency would accelerate atherosclerosis development in low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLr-/-) and apoE (apoE-/-) knockout mice. After 16 weeks of atherogenic diet (0.1% cholesterol, 10% calories from palm oil) consumption, LDLr-/- LCAT-/- double knockout mice, compared with...
