We review the basic steps leading to the construction of a Sinai-Ruelle-Bowen (SRB) measure for an innnite lattice of weakly coupled expanding circle maps, and we show that this measure has exponential decay of space-time correlations. First, using the Perron-Frobenius operator, one connects the dynamical system of coupled maps on a d-dimensional lattice to an equilibrium statistical mechanical...

Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the cytotoxic effects Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Manufacturing (CAM) blocks produced by different companies on human peripheral blood lymphocytes MTT assay.
 Methods: Six CAD/CAM materials were investigated: feldspar ceramic VM (Vitablocks Mark II ), resin nano-ceramic LU (Lava Ultimate), hybrid C (Cerasmart), leucite-reinforced LRF (GC LRF),...

BACKGROUND Arsenic (As) toxicity is primarily based on its chemical speciation. Although inorganic and methylated As species are well characterized in terms of metabolism and formation in the human body, the origin of thiolated methylarsenicals is still unclear. OBJECTIVES We sought to determine whether sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) from the human gut are actively involved in the thiolation...

a series of 2-amino-4-aryl-3-cyano-7-(dimethylamino)-4 h -chromenes was synthesized by condensation of 3-(dimethylamino)phenol, an aromatic aldehyde and malonitrile in ethanol containing piperidine. the assignments of the structure of all synthesized compounds were based on spectral data (ir, mass and 1 h nmr). the cytotoxic activities of the synthesized compounds against six human tumor cell l...

the chloroform soluble fractions of ethanolic extracts of five inula belonging to the compositae family were evaluated for cytotoxic activity against five different cell lines including caco2 (human colon adenocarcinoma), mcf7 (human breast adenocarcinoma), hepg2 (human hepatocellular carcinoma), vero (green african monkey kidney) and wehi164 (balb c mouse fibrosarcoma). cytotoxicity was assess...

In this article we give the detailed proof of the entropy formula for SRB-measures of coupled hyperbolic map lattices. We show that the topological pressure for the potential function of the SRB-measure is zero.

Thirteen novel cinnamamide-chalcone derivatives were synthesized and tested for their antiproliferative activity against MCF-7, K562, U-373MG, HT-29 cell lines using SRB assay. Eight compounds the in vitro CDK2 inhibition. Compounds 2g, 2h, 2k, 2l found to have IC50 < 10 µM CDK2. These four evaluated on EGFR kinase be two times more selective docked into Glide software. The docking studies reve...

OBJECTIVE The accuracy of a population-based sex ratio at birth (SRB) in China has long been questioned. To depict a more accurate profile, the present study used data from a national surveillance system for health facility births to explore the characteristics of SRB in China. METHODS Data from China's National Maternal Near Miss Surveillance System between 2012 and 2015 were used. We restri...

Cytotoxic lymphocytes, including cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) and natural killer (NK) cells, kill target cells by releasing granules containing perforin and granzymes, and/or via Fas-Fas ligand interactions. Both pathways lead to prompt activation within target cells of caspase cascades responsible for apoptosis induction and cell death. We have utilized cell-permeable fluorogenic caspase sub...

the present study was carried out to investigate cytotoxic activity of flower, leaf, stem and root extracts of five artemisia species against breast cancer cell line (mcf7) and human embryonic kidney normal cell line (hek293). the studied artemisia species were a. absinthium , a. vulgaris , a. incana , a. fragrans and a. spicigera . the cytotoxic activity was measured by mtt assay at different ...
