Phytoremediation is an efficient approach that uses plants to remediate the polluted environments.The aim of this research was to evaluate phytoremediation ability of Artemisia aucheriin the contaminated soil to Cadmium, Lead, Zinc and Nickel. A greenhouse experiment was performed to investigate the effect of Municipal Solid Waste Compost (MSWC) on phytoremediation efficiency of A....

OBJECTIVE Determine the effect of a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor (MMPi) and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) on collagen, MMP, tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs) expression in the spontaneously hypertensive heart failure (SHHF) rat. METHODS Six groups were tested: normotensive 9- and 13-month-old Wistar-Furth (WF) rats, 9-month-old SHHFs (compensatory hypertrophy), 13-month...

the purpose of this project is the investigation of lhrha2 integrated effect with carp pituitary extract (cpe) in three stages injection on sexual indexes (fecundity, fertilization, hatch and larval survival) in artificial propagation of barbusxanthopterus. 20 fish were divided in to 4 treatment and injected interpritoneal as follows 4mgkg-1b.w.of cpe as positive control, 4 µg/kg +4 mgkg-1b.w. ...

INTRODUCTION AND METHODS. Serotonin N-acetyltransferase (NAT) is a rate-limiting enzyme in melatonin biosynthesis. Its activity (which parallels melatonin levels) follows a diurnal rhythm with high values at night and low values during day-hours of any light-dark illumination cycle (1). In retinas NAT is expressed by photoreceptors (2). Exposure of animals to light at night suppresses the noctu...

Comparative Effects of Diaxepam and Midazolam on Paraoxon Toxicity in Rats. KRUTAKKROL, H., AND DOMINO, E. F. (1985). Toxicol. Appl. Pharmacol. 81,545-550. The present study was undertaken to compare the effectiveness of a new water-soluble benzodiazepine, midazolam, to diazepam, both administered im for protection against diethyl-pnitrophenyl phosphate (paraoxon) toxicity. Adult male Sprague-D...

Patients were randomly allocated to one of two groups; intravenous or epidural analgesia, with twenty patients in each group. General anesthesia was induced with thiopentone 5-6 mgkg-1 and maintained with 0.8-1.0% isoflurane and 66% nitrous oxide in 33% O2. The trachea was intubated after administration of vecuronium 0.1 mgkg-1. Patients in the epidural analgesia groups then received, by random...

In this study, concentrations of cadmium using 3778 samples encompassing the total size Spain (about 505 km2) were investgated. Two novel spatial methods namely Moran eigenvector spatially varying coefficient (MESVC) and filtered unconditional quantile regression (SF-UQR) employed with aim avoiding problem local collinearity which is prevalent in models. Additionally, coefficients applied to as...

The purpose of this project is the investigation of LHRHa2 integrated effect with carp pituitary extract (CPE) in three stages injection on sexual indexes (fecundity, fertilization, hatch and larval survival) in artificial propagation of Barbusxanthopterus. 20 fish were divided in to 4 treatment and injected interpritoneal as follows 4mgkg-1b.w.of CPE as positive control, 4 µg/kg +4 mgkg-1b.w. ...

OBJECTIVE To study the impact of obesity on postoperative morbidity and outcome following surgical resection of primary oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EADC). METHODS From a prospective database, we compared clinicopathological findings (age, gender, surgical approach, tumour differentiation and stage), postoperative mortality, morbidity, length of hospitalisation, disease-free survival (DFS) and...

Biological uranium reduction was investigated using bacteria isolated from a uranium mine in Limpopo, South Africa. Background uranium concentration in soil from the mine was determined to be 168 mgkg(-1) much higher than the typical background uranium concentration in natural soils (0.30-11.7 mgkg(-1)). Therefore it was expected that the bacteria isolated from the site were resistant to U(VI) ...
