AIM This study investigated the influence of different composite resin organic matrix (methacrylate - Filtek Z350 XT and silorane - Filtek P90) on light energy transmission through the composite and bottom/top rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS A light-emitting diode (New Blue Phase), light-curing unit was used with different photoactivation protocols (high-continuous mode - HCM, 1400 mW/cm2 for 20 ...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of levels of cottonseed meal with various carbohydrate sources in concentrate on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation and microbial protein synthesis in dairy bulls. Four, 6 months old dairy bulls were randomly assigned to receive four dietary treatments according to a 2×2 factorial arrangement in a 4×4 Latin square de...

Resident pulmonary alveolar macrophages (PAM) play an important role in the maintenance of immunological homeostasis in the lung via downmodulation of local T cell responses in the steady state. The present study demonstrates that this pathway for T cell suppression is reversible via granulocyte/macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Thus, freshly isolated PAM strongly inhibit mitogen-i...

OBJECTIVE Treatment of status epilepticus (SE) has not changed in the last few decades, benzodiazepines plus phenytoin or valproate being the most common treatment. Once this first and second line treatment has failed SE is considered refractory (RSE). This study aimed to assess the efficacy and tolerability of intravenous (iv) lacosamide (LCM) in RSE. METHOD Patients with RSE who were treate...

Cyanobacteria harvest light energy through multimolecular structures, the phycobilisomes, regularly arrayed at the surface of the photosynthetic membranes. Phycobilisomes consist of a central core from which rods radiate. A large polypeptide (LCM, 75-120 kDa) is postulated to act both as terminal energy acceptor and as a linker polypeptide that stabilizes the phycobilisome architecture. We repo...

Laser capture microdissection (LCM) is an easy, extremely fast and versatile method for the isolation of morphologically defined cell populations from complex primary tissues for molecular analyses. However, the optical resolution is limited due to the use of dried sections without coverslip necessary for tissue capture, and routine stains such as hematoxylin and eosin are sometimes insufficien...

We isolated cells from their native in vivo microenvironment using the Laser Capture Micro dissection (LCM). Bone and cartilage tissues were studied from mouse embryonic (18dpc) processed by cry sections enabled the cell isolation from anatomical complexity of skeletal tissues using the LCM technique. RNA was purified from the isolated cells and followed with amplification stage to hybridize on...

We prove a kind of Curry-Howard isomorphism, with some set of recursive winning strategies taking the place of typed λ-terms, and some set of classical proofs taking the place of intuitionistic proofs. We introduce an implication-free fragment PA1 of ω-arithmetic, having Exchange rule for sequents dropped. Exchange rule for formulas is, instead, an admissible rule in PA1. Then we show that cut-...

A prolongation in the lives of Swiss mice inoculated intracerebrally with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCM) was observed after treatment with 1,3-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea (BCNU). A variety of treatment schedules, including therapy once or twice daily up to 17 days and single treatments at various times after virus inoculation, were employed. Virus titers ranging to greater than 1...
