The mangosteen peel contains phenol compounds that have antifungal activity. study aimed to find out the activity in dosage form of toothpaste against Candida albicans. research methods used include extraction (Garcinia mangostana L.) by maceration using 96% ethanol. formula was composed with an extract concentration 1.25% (F1); 2.5% (F2); 5% (F3); and base (B). Antifungal testing carried diffu...

abstract in order to study the inheritance of grain yield and its components in bread wheat, two cultivars, karchyya(drought and salinity tolerant) and gaspard (sensitive to drought and salinity stress) were crossed.parents together with f1, f2, f3, bc1and bc2 generations were evaluated using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2008-2009 growing season.grain weight per...

We present the analytic calculation of the Mellin moments of the structure functions F2, F3 and FL in perturbative QCD up to second order corrections and in leading twist approximation. We calculate the 2-loop contributions to the anomalous dimensions of the singlet and non-singlet operator matrix elements and the 2-loop coefficient functions of F2, F3 and FL. We perform the inverse Mellin tran...

BACKGROUND AND AIM Detection of advanced fibrosis (Metavir F≥3) is important to identify patients with a high urgency of antiviral treatments vs. those whose treatment could be deferred (F≤2). The aim was to assess the diagnostic value of novel serological extracellular matrix protein fragments as potential biomarkers for clinically significant and advanced fibrosis. METHODS Specific protein ...

Little is known of the capacity that marine metazoans have to evolve under rapid p CO 2 changes. Consequently, we reared a marine polychaete, Ophryotrocha labronica, previously cultured for approximately 33 generations under a low/variable pH regime, under elevated and low p CO 2 for six generations. The strain used was found to be tolerant to elevated p CO 2 conditions. In generations F1 and F...

We report on our recent results for deep-inelastic neutrino(ν)-proton(P) scattering. We have computed the perturbative QCD corrections to three loops for the charged current structure functions F2, FL and F3 for the combination νP− ν̄P. In leading twist approximation we have calculated the first six odd-integer Mellin moments in the case of F2 and FL and the first six even-integer moments in the...

We created a predictive model using serum-based biomarkers for advanced fibrosis (F3 or more) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and to confirm the accuracy in an independent cohort.A total of 249 CHB patients were analyzed. To achieve our study aim, a training group (n = 125) and a validation group (n = 124) were formed. In the training group, parameters related to the presence of adva...

BACKGROUND: Propolis contains caffeic acid compounds, which are proven to have pharmacological effects as an anti-inflammatory. However, its effectiveness is hampered by the poor solubility of acid. Here, we report developing nanoemulgel approach containing propolis extract active ingredient and oleic a permeation enhancer for transdermal delivery AIM: This study aims determine effect concentra...

BACKGROUND & AIMS In Chronic Hepatitis C (CHC), the influence of steatosis on liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is still debated. We assessed the impact of steatosis and its ultrasonographical sign - bright liver echo pattern (BLEP) - on LSM values and on transient elastography (TE) accuracy for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis, in a cohort of consecutive patients with Genotype 1 (G1) CHC. MET...

For F/K an algebraic function field in one variable over a finite field of constants K (i.e., F is a finite algebraic extension of K(x) where x ∈ F is transcendental over K), let N(F ) and g(F ) denote the number of places of degree one and the genus, respectively, of F . Let F = (F1, F2, F3, . . .) be a tower of function fields, each defined over K. Further, we will assume that F1 ⊆ F2 ⊆ F3 . ...
