Phenothiazines are known to be among the compounds that reverse or modulate the multidrug resistance (MDR) of cancer cells. There is much evidence that the interactions of these reversal agents with the lipid phase of the plasma membrane are involved in the mechanism of MDR reversal. In this study, two parameters of a set of commercial phenothiazines were estimated: the phosphatidylocholine ves...

OBJECTIVE This study was aimed to investigate the reliability of a computer application for assessment of the stages of cervical vertebra maturation in order to determine the stage of skeletal maturity. MATERIAL AND METHODS For this study, digital lateral cephalograms of 99 subjects (52 females and 47 males) were examined. The following selection criteria were used during the sample compositi...

For the present work, we utilized Leslie White’s anthropological theory of cultural evolutionism as a theoretical benchmark for econometrically assessing macrodynamics energy use in agrarian societies that constituted human civilization’s second paradigm between 12,000 BC and 1800 AC. As views society’s ability to harness control from its environment primary function culture, may classify evolu...

cryptoleamus montrouzieri is the most important natural enemy of pseudococcus citri. the effects of different temperatures and different densities of c. montrouzieri on predation rate, searching efficacy and mutual interference of the mentioned coccinellid feeding on the nymphs of p. citri was studied. hassel and varley model was applied for estimation of interference constant. according to the...

A combination of clinical, radiological, and physiological changes commonly called 'emphy-sema' is so often confirmed at necropsy that it is interesting to find that some patients whose condition seemed to be clinically indistinguishable from emphysema during life did not in fact have it. In a large series of patients who were intensively studied during life in a clinic for 'emphysematous' pati...

Most tests that assess pain in animals involve motor responses to noxious stimuli. This practice depends on the implicit premise of a strong relationship between nociception and motor activity [Le Bars et al., 2001, Smith, 1995]. Therefore, a behavior can and should be analyzed as thoroughly as any brain structure and function involving motor activity in neurological investigations. The importa...
