ment and spice, has been used therapeutically in traditional folk medicine for a wide range of ailments, including wound healing, urinary tract infection, and liver ailments. Although evidence suggests that a C. longa extract also has considerable gastroprotective and antiulcerogenic effects, its mechanism of action remains unclear. The genes encoding four histamine receptor subtypes (H1, H2, H...

We have detected weak soft X-ray emission from the Pulsar Wind Nebula trailing the high velocity star PSR 2224+65 (the ‘Guitar Nebula’). This X-ray flux gives evidence of γ ∼ 10 eV particles in the pulsar wind and constrains the properties of the post-shock flow. The X-ray emission is most easily understood if the shocked pulsar wind is partly confined in the nebula and if magnetic fields in th...

In observations of four binary millisecond pulsars with the Palomar 200-inch telescope , we have detected white dwarf companions to PSRs J1640+2224 and J2145?0750 and placed upper limits of m r = 24 and m r = 25 on companions to PSRs J0751+1807 and J2229+2643. The temperature inferred for the companion to PSR J1640+2224 is T = (3700 300) K. The luminosity inferred for a star at a distance of 1....

BACKGROUND The relationship between socio-economic status and health among elderly people has been well studied, but less is known about how spousal or offspring's education affects mortality, especially in non-Western countries. We investigated these associations using a large sample of Chinese elderly. METHODS The data came from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) from...
