study was undertaken to establish the optimum dietary indispensable amino acid (IAA) profile for yellow fin seabream broodstock based on the amino acid (AA) profile of broodstock, eggs and larvae of Acanthopagrus latus. Three isonitrogenous (40%) and isolipid (20%), named diets 1, 2 and 3 were formulated with different ratios of total essential amino acids per total non-essential amino acid...

Gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) nanoparticles were prepared via the reaction of gadolinium nitrate hexahydrate (Gd (NO3)3·6H2O) and ethylamine (C2H5NH2), their surface morphology, particle size, properties examined by using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) ultraviolet visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. The Gd2O3 used as photocata...

RESEARCH DESIGN ANDMETHODSdSixty-seven patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent angioscopic observation of multiple main-trunk coronary arteries. According to the American Diabetes Association guidelines, patients were divided into nondiabetic (n = 16), prediabetic (n = 28), and diabetic (n = 23) groups. Plaque color grade was defined as 1 (light yellow), 2 (yellow), or 3 (intense ...

The photocatalytic degradation of Acid Red 91 (AR91) and Acid Yellow 23 (AY23) with different molecular structures and different substitute groups using Pt modified TiO2 (PtTiO2 ) nanoparticles was investigated in the presence of visible light irradiation. Pt-TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared with photodiposition method (PD) and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microgr...

The photocatalytic reaction involved in TiO<sub>2</sub> photocatalysis was investigated using a microreactor coated with film on the glass plate attached one side of microreactor. It confirmed that effect H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> degradation efficiency azo dyes (acid orange 7, acid red 151, and yellow 23) dependent polymorphs (anatase rutile) UV-irradiated ...

BACKGROUND Yellow fever vaccination (YF-17D) can cause serious adverse events (SAEs). The mechanism of these SAEs is poorly understood. Older age has been identified as a risk factor. We tested the hypothesis that the humoral immune response to yellow fever vaccine develops more slowly in elderly than in younger subjects. METHOD We vaccinated young volunteers (18-28 yrs, N = 30) and elderly t...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to elucidate the time course of atorvastatin-induced changes in vulnerable plaque using angioscopy and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty-seven hypercholesterolemic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) were treated with atorvastatin (10-20 mg/day) for 80 weeks and then coronary plaques were evaluated with angioscopy and IVUS....

The evolution of yellow fever virus over 67 years was investigated by comparing the nucleotide sequences of the envelope (E) protein genes of 20 viruses isolated in Africa, the Caribbean, and South America. Uniformly weighted parsimony algorithm analysis defined two major evolutionary yellow fever virus lineages designated E genotypes I and II. E genotype I contained viruses isolated from East ...
