Acupuncture is performed by inserting special hair-thin needles into the skin at specific sites, known as acupuncture points, for desired therapeutic and preventive purposes. Acupuncture is called “Jin Jiao” in Chinese. It consists with the practice of “acupuncture” and “moxibustion.” Moxibustion, warming sensation of moxa (artemisia vulgaris) over the acupuncture points, can be also used for t...

BACKGROUND In spite of the fact that terbium is one of the rarest elements in the Earth's crust, it is frequently used for the production of high technological materials. At the result, an effective combination of sample preparation procedure and detection method for terbium ions in different matrices is highly required. The solid-phase extraction procedure with natural Transcarpathian clinopti...

microencapsulation has become a common technique in the production of controlled release dosage forms. many results have been reported, concerning the use of alginate beads as controlled release drug formulations. alginate has a unique gel-forming property in the presence of multivalent cations, in an aqueous medium. ibuprofen is an excellent analgesic and antipyretic, non-steroidal anti-inflam...

we investigated contraction to noradrenaline (na) and kc1 and sensitivity of na at the level of larger vessels (thoracic aorta and vena cava; left renal artery and left renal vein; lateral saphenous artery and lateral saphenous vein and finally central ear artery and marginal ear vein) in a model devised to mimic heart failure. the model presented here is the rabbit coronary ligation model in w...

in wheat na+ exclusion and k+/na+ have shown to be associated with salinity tolerance, therefore in order to identify qtls with additive effect for na+ and k+ concentration traits in roots and shoots of wheat, 319  bread wheat recombinant inbred lines (ril f7), derived from a cross between roshan cultivar (salt tolerant) and falat cultivar (salt sensitive), along with their parents and 2 checks...

Abstract Carbonate and silicate metasomatism occurring in subduction zones is an important mechanism underlying mantle heterogeneity compositional diversity of mantle-derived rocks. However, distinguishing between the two kinds often difficult. Lithium (Li) its isotopes have great potential this regard because different Li isotopic compositions recycled marine carbonate components. We report da...

As a consequence of interpersonal conflicts, needs of the victimized are violated. These needs have to be addressed in order to achieve reconciliation. Due to the heterogeneity of need categories in scholarly research, we scrutinized which need categories can be empirically identified. 478 participants reported on an experienced interpersonal conflict. They responded to 109 items evaluating the...

Staurosporine, a potent inhibitor of protein kinases, has been reported to increase the accumulation of vincristine in multidrug-resistant (MDR) tumor cells and to bind P-glycoprotein, which works as an effluxpump in the plasma membrane of MDRcells1}. We have recently reported that N-ethoxycarbonyl-7-oxostaurosporine (NA-382) which has a low but selective inhibitory activity on protein kinase C...
