Changes in the Structure of Earnings During the Polish Transition We document changes in the structure of earnings during the economic transition in Poland. We find that inequality in labor earnings increased substantially from 1988 to 1996. A common view is that the reallocation of workers from a public sector with a compressed wage distribution, to a private sector with much higher wage inequ...

Amongst pyrimido-pyrimidine derivatives (p-p), dipyridamole (Dip) acts as a coronary vasodilator and platelet aggregation inhibitor (l-3), mopidamole (Mop) has been used in association with antimetastatic drugs (4,5), and RA-642 is endowed with vasodilating and hypertensive effects (6-8). We also reported that RA-642 inhibited lipid peroxidation induced by oxygen free radicals (9). We have foun...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the associations between psychosocial factors and peripheral blood CD4 and CD8 T lymphocyte numbers in Brazilian peacekeepers. METHODS Venous blood was collected from 759 peacekeepers who had just returned from a peace mission in Haiti. Among the 759 soldiers, 642 individuals completed the psychosocial measures. CD4 and CD8 T lymphocyte counts were measured by flow cy...

background: fasciolosis in livestock is a crucial concern in the globe, mainly due to its impact on human health. the aim of this study was to determine the rate of infection with fasciola gigantica (cobbold, 1855) larvae in the field-collected snails of lymnaea auricularia (linnaeus, 1785) from northwestern iran using a molecular approach. methods : a total of 6,759 pond snails were collected ...

We compared the effects of dipyridamole, RA-642, and mopidamol on platelet activity and thromboxane/prostacyclin balance in relation to the degree of retinal vascularization in a model of experimental streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats. After 3 months, collagen-induced platelet aggregation in whole blood was 25% higher in diabetic animals than in nondiabetics. Dipyridamole inhibited 43% pl...

Background: Sodium ionhydrogen ion (Na+-H+) exchange inhibitors are effective cardioprotective agents. The N+-H+ exchange inhibitor HOE 642 (cariporide) has undergone clinical trials in acute coronary syndromes, including bypass surgery. F'ropofol and sevoflurane are also cardioprotective v i a unknown mechanisms. The authors investigated the interaction between propofol and HOE 642 in the isch...

Prevalence of Eimeria species parasitizing rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Taiwan were investigated. Six Eimeria species, namely: Eimeria media (prevalence, 158/642; 24.6%), Eimeria magna (101/642; 15.7%), Eimeria perforans (58/642; 9.0%), Eimeria coecicola (46/642; 7.2%), Eimeria piriformis (16/642; 2.5%), and Eimeria exigua (9/642; 1.4%) were observed. The overall prevalence of these cocci...
