Licochalcone A (Lico A) exhibits various biological properties, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. In this study, we investigated the antioxidative potential and mechanisms of Lico A against tert-butyl hydroperoxide- (t-BHP-) induced oxidative damage in RAW 264.7 cells. Our results indicated that Lico A significantly inhibited t-BHP-induced cytotoxicity, apoptosis, and reac...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorders, in which oxidative stress plays an important role. The present study investigated the effect of eicosapentaenoic acid-enriched phospholipids (EPA-enriched PL) from the sea cucumber Cucumaria frondosa on oxidative injury in PC12 cells induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and tert-butylhydroperoxide (t-BHP). We also studied the effe...

Throughout the past years we stepwise modified our immunosuppressive treatment regimen for patients with antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR). Here, we describe three consecutive groups treated with different regimens. From 2005 until 2008, we treated all patients with biopsy-proven ABMR with rituximab (500 mg), low-dose (30 g) intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG), and plasmapheresis (PPH, 6x) (gro...

Potential antioxidant effect of processed ginseng (sun ginseng, SG) on oxidative stress generated by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP) was investigated in HepG2 cells. 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage test demonstrated that SG dose-dependently prevents a loss of cell viability against t-BHP-induced oxidative stress. Also, ...

For d ≥ 1 and α ∈ (0, 2), consider the family of pseudo differential operators {∆+b∆α/2; b ∈ [0, 1]} on R that evolves continuously from ∆ to ∆ + ∆. In this paper, we establish a uniform boundary Harnack principle (BHP) with explicit boundary decay rate for nonnegative functions which are harmonic with respect to ∆+b∆ (or equivalently, the sum of a Brownian motion and an independent symmetric α...

the bottom trawl selectivity parameters (22mm cod-end mesh size) were determined for saurida undosquamis , mullus barbatus , upeneus pori , and pagellus erythrinus along karatas coasts of turkey in northeastern mediterranean waters during fishing season for the year 2002-2003. the lengths at first capture (l 50 ) values for s. undosquamis , m. barbatus , u. pori and p. erythrinus were 12.57, 9....

Abstract As a production method of low wells and remote oil wells, bailing recovery is particularly important for its reasonable working system. The dimensionless bottom hole flowing pressure solved by establishing the seepage mechanics equation infinite homogeneous formation, productivity bailed well predicted using direct relationship between unit flow rate. On this basis, mathematical model ...

Testing should never become a mindless exercise in which operations personnel blindly follow proceMany papers have been published extending the dures written by others. The people who are theoretical understanding of pressure transient implementing the test should be actively trying to analysis. Most of these papers have concentrated on achieve the test objectives. It is often difficult or anal...
