Agrimonolide and desmethylagrimonolide are the main bioactive polyphenols in agrimony with well-documented antioxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-inflammatory potential. We report here for the first time that agrimonolide and desmethylagrimonolide stimulate the expression of phase II detoxifying enzymes through the Nrf2-dependent signaling pathway. Agrimonolide and desmethylagrimonolide also poss...

How different functional regions in urban space are distributed and dynamically changing is determined by how their residents interact with them, which is crucial for urban managers to make urban planning decisions, respond to emergency quickly. Based on these, this paper proposed a novel approach for the probability based labelling individual activities which can be further used to explore the...

many powdery mildew fungi occur as anamorphic state on different host plants in guilan province, iran. the species have usually been identified as oidium spp. in order to identify teleomorphic species using anamorphic characteristics and host range, several infected plant specimens were collected from around guilan province during 2004-2011. based upon  the  results of the study 25 species were...

Despite an absence of causal evidence showing that limited access to healthy foods is to blame for unhealthful consumption, policies aimed at improving poor diets by improving access are ubiquitous. In this paper, we use novel data describing both the healthfulness of household food purchases and the retail landscapes facing consumers to measure the role that access plays in explaining why some...

BACKGROUND Mitochondrial dysfunction is critical following ischemic disorders. Our goal was to determine whether mild hypothermia could limit this dysfunction through per-ischemic inhibition of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. METHODS First, ROS production was evaluated during simulated ischemia in an vitro model of isolated rat cardiomyocytes at hypothermic (32°C) vs. normothermic (...

Fashion, as a “second nature” to human being, plays a quite non-trivial role not only in economy but also in many other areas of our society, including education, politics, arts, and even academics. We investigate fashion through a network game model, which is referred to as the fashion game, where there are two types of agents, conformists and rebels, who are allocated on a network. Each agent...
