[Objective] To study the inhibitory effect of 3′ untranslated region (UTR)-targeted artificial microRNA (amiRNA) against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) replication in porcine alveolar macrophages (PAM). [Methods] Recombinant adenovirus (rAd) expressing the 3′ UTR-targeted or control amiRNA and green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter gene were generated by transfect...

The yield of chromosome aberrations was studied in Go human peripheral blood lymphocytes following in vitro exposure to 100, 250 and 500 rad of caesium-137 gamma radiation. The doses were given at various rates up to 400 rad per h with the longest exposures lasting for approx. 50 h. At 500 and 250 rad the dicentric yields fell by 66 and 64% when the dose rate was reduced from 400 to 10 rad per ...

Neste trabalho, descrevemos a obtenção de dois novos compostos de cobre(II), ou precursores, (Pr-Rad) 2 [Cu(opba)].H 2 O (1) e (Bu-Rad) 2 [Cu(opba)].2H 2 O (2), onde opba é o ligante ortofenilenobis(oxamato) e R-Rad são radicais cátions do tipo nitronil nitróxido. A partir destes compostos 1 e 2, foram sintetizados os dois novos magnetos moleculares [Pr-Rad] 2 [Mn 2 {Cu(opba)} 3 ].3,3 DMSO.5H 2...

MITRAL VALVE MECHANICS by Neil B. Ingels, Jr. and Matts Karlsson Figure 29.1 Stress-strain curves (adapted from Figure 6 of May-Newman and Yin1) for excised anterior and posterior porcine leaflets. Tables show mean PREand POST-transitional elastic moduli in the circumferential (CIRC) and radial (RAD) directions for ANTERIOR(Left Table) and POSTERIOR(Right Table) leaflets. Anterior CIRC (solid b...

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of Gafchromic film causes perturbation to absolute dosimetry measurements; the purpose of this work was to characterize the perturbation and develop a correction method for it. Three sets of Gafchromic EBT2 film were compared: radiation (control), radiation followed by MR imaging (RAD + B), and MR imaging followed by radiation (B + RAD). The T1-weighted and T2-we...
