Foam glass, a durable and porous material that resistant almost all substance effects, one best materials. Glass foaming complicated process affected by types agents used in initial composition mixture mode foaming. influence components - glass matrix agent discussed this pape...

Background & Aims: Substance abuse may have different effects on multiple sclerosis. Till now, studies on substance abuse and its correlation with psychopathology, type and severity of multiple sclerosis are limited. We conducted this study to evaluate the psychopathology of patients with multiple sclerosis with and without substance abuse. Methods: In this case-control, cross-sectional study p...

Alcohol dependence (AD) is a complex and heterogeneous disorder. The identification of more homogeneous subgroups of individuals with drinking problems and the refinement of the diagnostic criteria are inter-related research goals. They have the potential to improve our knowledge of etiology and treatment effects, and to assist in the identification of risk factors or specific genetic factors. ...

We aimed to investigate whether 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) modulates glycometabolism and has toxicity in Eri silkworm (Samia cynthia ricini, Saturniidae). In this paper, hemolymph metabolites were used to explore metabolic changes after oral administration of DNJ or mulberry latex and to characterize the biological function of DNJ at the metabolic and systemic levels. Hemolymph samples were colle...

1.08, CHCl3). To a suspension of CuBr (13 mg, 0.1 mmol) in ether (1 mL) at 0 "C was added allylmagnesium bromide (2.2 mL, 0.48 mmol), followed by the above-obtained tosyl-triflate 15 in ether (3 mL), and the reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 3.5 h. Then n-Bu2CuLi (1.4 mmol) in ether (3 mL) was introduced and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. Usual work...

The nature of the fluid draining from the kidney, after its artery was occluded, was investigated. Samples of systemic arterial blood, renal venous blood and urine were also analyzed. It was found that the fluid draining from the kidney after occlusion is a mixture of vascular blood and another fluid designated as "diluting fluid," each contributing half to the composite mixture. In volume the ...

There is widespread use of chemical amendments to meet the demands for increased productivity in agriculture. Potentially toxic compounds, single or in mixtures, are added to the soil medium on a regular basis, while the ecotoxicological risk assessment procedures mainly follow a chemical by chemical approach. Picoxystrobin is a fungicide that has caused concern due to studies showing potential...
