Introduction: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with oxidative stress, inflammation, and decrease in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR-α) expression. Nitrochalcone is effective ingredient of chalcones with anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti-hyperglycemic properties. This study examined the effect of intraperitoneal (IP) administration of nitrochal...

Abstract This paper provides a broad overview of spatial, architectural, and sensory relationships between rats humans on British American vessels from approximately the 1850s–1950s. Taking as my primary historical actors, I show how attempted to prevent movement these animals ports across three periods. Firstly, mid- to- late-nineteenth century, where few attempts were made boarding ships, mul...

Progress in paleoanthropology is impeded when new fossil materials are published but unavailable for comparative study, as is too often the case. In this commentary, we review the stages of description and analysis that new fossils must undergo and conclude that it is disingenuous to argue that fossils have not been properly "published" when descriptions and new names formulated in accordance w...

BACKGROUND The 2009 influenza A(H1N1) pandemic has generated thousands of articles and news items. However, finding relevant scientific articles in such rapidly developing health crises is a major challenge which, in turn, can affect decision-makers' ability to utilise up-to-date findings and ultimately shape public health interventions. This study set out to show the impact that the inconsiste...

objective: this study investigated the antibacterial properties of an ion-releasing resin composite (degufill), a hybrid resin composite (inten-s), a compomer (compoglass f) and a resin-modified glass ionomer (vitremer) against streptococcus mutans. materials and methods: the bacteria were derived from the dental plaque and cultured on blood agar plates. eppendorf tubes were filled by unset res...
