Soybean extracts (SBE) containing isoflavone glycosides were cultured with Ganoderma lucidum mycelia producing beta-glucosidase. The anti-angiogenic effects of the cultivated product, containing rich in genistein, named GCP (genistein combined polysaccharide), were assessed with chick chorioallantoic membranes (CAM) and a mouse dorsal air-sac model. Beta-glucosidase produced by the mycelia conv...

Simulation-based education (SBE) has the potential to misrepresent clinical practice as relatively simplistic, and as being made safer through simplistic behavioural explanations. This review provides an overview of a well-documented and robust psychological construct - hindsight bias in the context of learning in healthcare simulations. Motivating this review are our observations that post-sim...

Tinnitus is a prevalent and costly chronic condition; no universally effective treatment exists. Only 20% of patients who report tinnitus actually seek treatment, and when treated, most patients commonly receive sound-based and educational (SBE) therapy. Additional treatment options are necessary, however, for nonauditory aspects of tinnitus (e.g., anxiety, depression, and significant interfere...

Infective endocarditis is a microbial infection of the endocardial surface of the heart. Its symptoms and signs are varied, and include fever, heart murmur, peripheral embolism, and heart failure. The diagnosis of subacute bacterial endocarditis (SBE) is suggested by a history of an indolent process characterized by fever, fatigue, anorexia, and unexplained weight loss. These patients may have ...

Two regions expressing Hex in the early gastrula contribute to organizing the anterior of the vertebrate embryo. In Xenopus, these include the anterior yolky endoderm and the suprablastoporal endoderm (SBE), which is fated to form the epithelial lining of the gut. These tissues may correspond to the anterior visceral endoderm and anterior definitive endoderm of amniotes. Genetic studies in mice...

Cultured neuronal networks generate spontaneous activity in the form of synchronized bursting events (SBEs)—short time events during which most of the recorded neurons fire rapidly. Each neuron in the SBE has its own temporal firing rate pattern. It has been shown that a large network can exhibit several SBE sub-groups, each with its own characteristic spatio-temporal pattern of activity. In th...

Enzymes-mediated biocatalysis is believed to be a promising strategy for the degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (e.g., phenanthrene) in aqueous phase, due its high efficiency and environmental harmfulness. However, reusability enzymes-mediated requirement redox mediators limited application. In this paper, enhanced phenanthrene removal was achieved by using novel biocatalyst which c...

In this paper we propose two equalization methods for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation. These methods are intended to be alternatives to the known cyclic prefix equalization (CPE) method, and are derived using ideas from subband identification. The first proposed method is called subband equalization (SBE) and the second one is called enhanced cyclic prefix equalizat...

The aim of this study was to search vegetable oil bleaching abilities 30 different adsorbent materials placed into four groups (natural clay, acid-activated natural synthetic adsorbent, metal-organic frames). After treatment against control sample, color (L, a*, b* values), weight loss (%), free fatty acidity (FFA), peroxide value (PV), and the specific extinctions K232 K270 were measured. Base...

A simple and highly sensitive method is proposed for determination of trace amount of cerium. New method involves bleaching of greenish colour dye-malachite green, by the action of iodine, which is released by reaction between potassium iodide and cerium (IV) in acidic medium. Beer’s law is obeyed over concentration range of 0.6 to 4.6 μg cerium (IV) in final volume of 25 ml (0.024-0.184 ppm). ...
