The goal of the experiment was to determine performance Mung bean when it treated with bio-fertilizers, Neem-coated urea, and foliar NPK (12:32:16) in an integrated manner. carried out research farm Lovely Professional University Phagwara, Punjab, during Kharif season 2022–2023. laid Randomized block design eight treatments, T1- Control (20:40:00 kg/ha); T2- Foliar application (12:32:16); T3- 7...

Objective. To investigate neuroprotective effects of scutellarin (Scu) in a rat model of cerebral ischemia with use of (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose ((18)F-FDG) micro positron emission tomography (microPET). Method. Middle cerebral artery occlusion was used to establish cerebral ischemia. Rats were divided into 5 groups: sham operation, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion untreated (CIRU) group, Scu-25 gr...

A mutant single chain urokinase plasminogen activator (scu-PA) was constructed by the addition of an apical membrane targeting signal from decay accelerating factor to the scu-PA carboxyl terminus. Bovine aortic endothelial cells (EC) were transduced with the mutant scu-PA. Metabolic labeling, immunoprecipitation, and gel electrophoresis revealed that the mutant scu-PA was present in a single-c...

A new type of controlled release fertilizers coated with polyurea was prepared. The granulated urea was firstly changed into a liquid urea by heating as the coating liquid. By spraying uniformly the urea was coated with the polyurea synthesized by the reaction of isocyanates with a liquid urea. The effects of different modifiers on N release characteristics of polyurea-coated urea (PCU) were st...

The specific thrombolytic properties of urokinase and three molecular forms of single-chain urokinase-type plasminogen activator (scu-PA) were compared in a human plasma milieu in vitro and in an experimental thrombosis model in rabbits. These scu-PA molecules included Mr 54,000 scu-PA from human urine (urinary scu-PA), scu-PA from conditioned media of a human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (CAL...

Urokinase (u-PA)-mediated cell surface plasminogen activation is required for cellular tissue invasion. This invasion occurs in environments rich in plasminogen activator inhibitors (PAIs), which efficiently inhibit receptor-bound two-chain u-PA. Single-chain u-PA (scu-PA) was recently found to efficiently initiate cell surface plasminogen activation, and we herein describe the interaction of s...

BACKGROUND Special care facilities for patients with dementia gain increasing attention. However, an overview of studies examining the differences between care facilities with respect to their effects on behavior, cognition, functional status and quality of life is lacking. RESULTS Our literature search resulted in 32 studies published until October 2012. Overall, patients with dementia who l...

Scutellarin (SCU) is one of the main components of traditional Chinese medicine plant Erigeron breviscapus (Vant.) Hand.-Mazz. In this paper, we studied the protective effects of SCU on human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) against hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR) injury and its possible target-related proteins. Results of MTT assay showed that pretreatment of SCU at doses of 1, 5, a...

By controlling the extent of hydrolysis during the self-assembly process of a zwitterionic-based ligand with uranyl cations, we observed a structural evolution from the neutral uranyl-organic framework [(UO2)2(TTTPC)(OH)O(COOH)]·1.5DMF·7H2O (SCU-6) to the first cationic uranyl-organic framework with the formula of [(UO2)(HTTTPC)(OH)]Br·1.5DMF·4H2O (SCU-7). The crystal structures of SCU-6 and SC...
