Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, a mild ischemic condition is associated with advancing age and severity of dementia; however, no unanimous therapy has been established to alleviate related neurological symptoms. We imposed a permanent, bilateral occlusion of the common carotid arteries of rats (n=18) to create cerebral hypoperfusion. A mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K+ channel opener diazoxide (DZ...

The structure of the title compound, [NaRuCl(4)(C(2)H(6)OS)(2)](n), comprises centrosymmetric [RuCl(2)(DMSO)Na(DMSO)Cl(2)Ru] units (DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide, C(2)H(6)OS), with two Ru atoms, each lying on a crystallographic centre of inversion, connected via Na atoms, DMSO and chloride ligands into a two-dimensional (110) array. Both Ru(III) atoms are octa-hedrally coordinated by four chloride...

OBJECTIVE To develop an efficient technique to preserve primordial follicles from cryopreserved ovarian tissue. DESIGN Frozen-thawed and fresh preantral follicles were mechanically isolated for viability testing, and their morphology was histologically analyzed. SETTING Laboratory of Animal Reproduction, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechny, University State of São Paulo, Brazil. ...

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an abundant methylated sulfur compound in deep sea ecosystems. However, the mechanism underlying DMSO-induced reduction in benthic microorganisms is unknown. Shewanella piezotolerans WP3, which was isolated from a west Pacific deep sea sediment, can utilize DMSO as the terminal electron acceptor. In this study, two putative dms gene clusters [type I (dmsEFA1B1G1H1) ...

Solar cells incorporating metal-halide perovskite (MHP) semiconductors are continuing to break efficiency records for solution-processed solar cell devices. Scaling MHP-based devices larger area prototypes requires the development and optimization of scalable process technology ink formulations that enable reproducible coating results. It is demonstrated power conversion (PCE) small-area methyl...

The HL-60 model of myeloid maturation was used to test whether changes in signaling from the granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) receptor accompany maturation-related changes in cellular responses to GM-CSF. Receptor expression, tyrosine phosphorylation, functional activity, and c-fos gene expression were measured. Functional GM-CSF receptors were present throughout differ...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Composite bond to dentin is crucial in many clinical conditions particularly in deep cavities without enamel margins due to insufficient penetration of adhesive into demineralized dentin. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess the shear bond strength (SBS) of a methacrylate-based and a silorane-based composite resin to surface and deep dentin after pretreatment w...
