BACKGROUND The Autism-Spectrum Quotient (AQ) is widely used to quantify autistic traits, which have been evaluated in the parents of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and in the general population. This paper's objective was to investigate the AQ's psychometric properties of the Chinese version for mainland China and to establish whether the pattern of sex differences in the quan...

Artesunate (AS) is used in combination with amodiaquine (AQ) as first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria in many countries. We investigated the effect of concomitant AS administration on the pharmacokinetics of AQ and compared concentrations of desethylamodiaquine (DEAQ), the main metabolite of AQ, in plasma between patients with different variants of the cytochrome P4502C8 (CYP2C8) gene....

Cytochrome c (Cytc) in airfree, aqueous media (pH ~7.4; 37°C) can emit e(-)(aq) when exited in single state by monochromatic UV light (λ=254 nm). The obtained Qi(e(-)(aq)) at lower Cytc concentrations is higher compared to the amount obtained at higher substrate concentrations because at >10(-8) mol l(-1) Cytc 'associates' (unstable complexes) are formed, which consume a part of the ejected e(-...

Densities of fifteen aqueous solutions sulfuric acid (H2SO4) have been measured by vibrating-tube densimetry at solute molalities (m) from (0.01 to 3.0) mol·kg−1 over the temperature range 293.15 ≤ T/K 343.15. These data used calculate corresponding apparent molar volumes Vϕ(H2SO4,aq), which represent a significant expansion volumetric database for this industrially-important acid. At 298.15 K ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the reliability and accuracy of arcuate fasciculus (AF) navigation for AF localization and reconstruction. METHODS Reconstruction of the AF and assessment of the aphasia quotient (AQ) were performed in 43 cases before and after surgical removal of lesions in the language area of the brain. The minimal distance between the AF and the lesion (D(1)), preoperative AQ (AQ(1))...

antimalarial drugs with the 4-aminoquinoline scaffold such as the important drugs, chloroquine (cq) and amodiaquine (aq), have been used to prevent and treat malaria for many years. the importance of these drugs is related to their simple usage, high efficacy, affordability, and cost-effectiveness of their synthesis. in recent years, with the spread of parasite resistance to cq and cross-resist...

objective: the beneficial effects of clove on toothache have been well documented. we have also previously shown the analgesic effects of clove essential oil. the present work was done to investigate the analgesic effects of the aqueous extract of clove using hot plate test. the possible role of opioid receptors in the analgesic effects of clove was also investigated using naloxone. materials a...
