Arabidopsis flowers in long day (LD) in response to signals transported from the photoinduced leaf to the shoot apex. These LD signals may include protein of the gene FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) while in short day (SD) with its slower flowering, signalling may involve sucrose and gibberellin. Here, it is shown that after 5 weeks growth in SD, a single LD up-regulated leaf blade expression of FT and ...

This study evaluated the effect of including clove essential oil (EOcl) in Nile tilapia diets on animal performance and antioxidant power, lipid oxidation, gene expression, texture, pH, color sensory analysis fillets. Three levels EOcl were (0.70, 1.05 1.40 g/kg), provided over three periods before slaughtering animals (15, 45 60 days). The power increased after EOcl. There was an interaction b...

In order to examine potential ovarian toxicity in 2 weeks or 4 weeks repeated-dose studies and a fertility study, chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ) was administered orally to Crl:CD(SD) female rats at dosage levels of 0, 3, 10 and 30 mg/kg/day. In the repeated-dose studies, ovarian weights were decreased at > or = 10 mg/kg in the 4 weeks study and an increase in large atretic follicles was obs...

article. Case Report A male neonate born at 31 weeks’ gestation had a history of fetal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) detected at 28 weeks’ gestation, with no hydropic changes noticed on ultrasonography. The mother was started on enteral digoxin with instructions for weekly follow-up. On her first return visit at 31 weeks’ gestation, ultrasonography revealed hydropic changes and persistent ...

Introduction: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a malignant clonal disorder of hematopoietic stem cells resulting in the increase of myeloid cells, erythroid cells and platelets in the peripheral blood and hyperplasia in bone marrow. The research evaluated the cytotoxic effects of hydro-alcoholic extracts of Lepidium Sativum (Cress plant) shoots before and after flowering on K562 cell line as a...

BACKGROUND Safe and effective therapies are needed for pediatric patients with psoriasis. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate ustekinumab in patients age 12 to 17 years who had moderate-to-severe psoriasis. METHODS Patients (n = 110) were randomly assigned to ustekinumab standard dosing (SD; 0.75 mg/kg [≤60 kg], 45 mg [>60-≤100 kg], and 90 mg [>100 kg]) or half-standard dosi...

Methods CAN-naïve patients with confirmed CAPS aged 44 days to 4 years received open-label CAN 2 mg/kg every 8 weeks for 56 weeks. For NOMID patients, an initial dose of 4 mg/kg was administered. Patients who did not achieve complete response following CAN injection, or experienced a flare before the next planned administration, were eligible for dose up-titration with possible maintenance and ...

increasing the water use efficiency in crop production is an important issue today. an experiment was conducted in 2009 in order to evaluate the corn reaction to partial root zone drying at fars province. treatments consisted of four irrigation levels (control, alternative furrow irrigation during whole season, alternative furrow irrigation until flowering then full irrigation and full irrigati...
