Abstract. When a spacetime takes Bondi radiating metric, and is vacuum and asymptotically flat at spatial infinity which ensures the positive mass theorem, we prove that the standard ADM energy-momentum is the past limit of the Bondi energy-momentum. We also derive a formula relating the ADM energy-momentum of any asymptotically flat spacelike hypersurface to the Bondi energy-momentum of any nu...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) represents a major challenge for successful chemotherapeutic treatment of cancer. Resveratrol (RES) is believed to have multiple bioactivities including anti-cancer, prevention of cardiovascular diseases, and anti-inflammatory. This study was aimed to examine the effect of resvertrol on human leukemic MDR K562/A02 cells. Treatment of combination of resveratrol and adr...

Abstract : In this article, a new method of analysis for linear and nonlinear stiff problems using the Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) is presented. To illustrate the effectiveness of the ADM an example from linear and nonlinear stiff problems have been considered and compared with the single-term Haar Wavelet series (STHW)[9] and with exact solutions of the problems, and are found to be ver...

We thank Drs. Lim and Tan for their interesting comments (1) regarding our article (2). First, we agree that the adrenomedullin (ADM) is an intriguing candidate that may be involved in the pathogenesis of diabetes-related vascular dysfunction as suggested by Lim et al. (3) and others (4). In terms of the relationship between hyperfiltration and ADM, we are only aware of experimental data by Hir...

Myofibroblast differentiation induced by transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is characterized by the expression of smooth muscle α-actin (SMA) and extracellular matrix proteins. We and others have previously shown that these changes are regulated by protein kinase A (PKA). Adrenomedullin (ADM) is a vasodilator peptide that activates cAMP/PKA signaling through the calcitonin-receptor-like recep...

To understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell (PASMC) proliferation and extracellular-matrix accumulation in the development of pulmonary hypertension and remodeling, this study determined the effects of different doses of adrenomedullin (ADM) and adrenotensin (ADT) on PASMC proliferation and collagen synthesis. The objective was to investigate whether...

A comparative study is presented about the Adomian’s decomposition method (ADM), variational iteration method (VIM), and fractional variational iteration method (FVIM) in dealing with fractional partial differential equations (FPDEs).The study outlines the significant features of the ADM and FVIMmethods. It is found that FVIM is identical to ADM in certain scenarios. Numerical results from thre...

The use of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in many plastic surgery procedures, including breast reconstruction, has increased dramatically in recent years. While expander/implant reconstruction can be performed successfully with standard techniques, the introduction of ADM has added a new tool with which to achieve lasting, predictable results. This article is a summary of existing literature on ...

BACKGROUND As the use of acellular dermal matrices in breast reconstruction has become more commonplace and efforts are made to improve on postoperative outcomes, the method of acellular dermal matrix (ADM) processing (aseptic versus sterile) has become a subject of interest. This article provides an updated overview of the critical aspects of ADM processing in addition to application of ADMs i...

Previous studies of the authors have indicated that the transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can attenuate cardiac fibrosis through the secretion of antifibrotic factors, such as adrenomedullin (ADM). Therefore, the authors addressed the hypothesis that ADM overexpression could enhance the antifibrotic effect of MSCs transplantation in a rat model of heart failure. The results of th...
