Boiled cytosols prepared from a wide variety of sources contain a low Mr factor that inhibits glucocorticoid receptor transformation to the DNA-binding state (Leach, K.L., Grippo, J.F., Housley, P.R., Dahmer, M.K., Salive, M.E., and Pratt, W.B. (1982) J. Biol. Chem. 257, 381-388). In this work, we show that this endogenous factor, which is partially purified from rat liver, produces all of the ...

The current study used the Biome-Bio Geochemical Cycle (Biome-BGC) model to simulate water-use efficiency (WUE) of Piceacrassi folia (P. crassifolia) forest under four representative concentration pathway (RCP) scenarios, and investigated the responses of forest WUE to different combinations of climatic changes and CO2 concentrations in the Qilian Mountains of Northwest China. The model was val...

INTRODUCTION Deproteinized bovine bone mineral (Bio-Oss) is a xenogenic bone substitute, widely used in maxillofacial bone regeneration. The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate its influence on the growth behavior of human osteosarcoma cell line, Saos-2 culture, and compare it with the physiologic dose of Dexamethasone, an inductive factor for osteoblasts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Huma...

in our study, bioactivity of essential oil extracted from ginger (zingiber officinaleroscoe.) that belongs to family zingiberaceae was analyzed. ginger rhizome oil was found to be effective against a range of bio-deteriogens. the minimum inhibitory concentration (mic) value was determined by poisoned food technique and volatile activity assay. the study demonstrates that essential oil had a wid...

from the time of antiquity two lines of thinking were always predominant, the materialistic and the spiritualistic viewpoint. the materialistic point of view states the human beings and other living creatures come to life according to a specific pattern and constellation of chemicals and molecules. on the other hand, the nonmaterialistic view point emphasizes that the life factor is something m...

the aim of the present study was to assess the bio-trickling filter startup for the treatment ofwastewater produced by pegah dairy company at psychrophilic condition. the startup time of a bio-tricklingfilter is directly proportional to the concentration of microbial population. abio-trickling column with a height of150 cm was packed with lava rocks with the liquid recirculated through the pack...

Bio-oxidation of refractory sulfidic gold minerals has been applied at the commercial scale as a pre-treatment to improve yields and reduce chemical consumption during cyanidation. In this study, effect initial cell concentration on oxidation pyritic ore was evaluated with four aerated bioreactors 30 °C 10% pulp density pH maintained 1.4 NaOH. Results NaOH changes in soluble Fe S concentrations...
