The effect of Escherichia coli heat-stable (ST) enterotoxin on calcium and cyclic nucleotide metabolism in rat basophilic leukemia cell cultures was investigated. Addition of ST enterotoxin to rat basophilic leukemia cell cultures resulted in dose- and time-dependent stimulation of calcium uptake and elevation of the intracellular cyclic GMP (cGMP) concentration. The effect of ST enterotoxin on...

Background: Acupuncture at specific acupoints has experimentally been found to reduce chronically elevated blood pressure. Objective: To examine effectiveness of electroacupuncture (EA) at select acupoints to reduce systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressures (DBP) in hypertensive patients. Design: Two-arm parallel study. Patients: Sixty-five hypertensive patients not receiving ...

The turning process is one of the machining processes for producing machine components. Where lathe included in that uses a chisel. quality cut surface depends on cutting conditions, example low with large feed and depth will result rough so on. This study aims to determine what effect angle length use chisel, where chisel used an HSS In this using experimental research methods aim knowing time...

Herein, Compact-Testing (CT ) and Charpy V-Notch (CVN) testing have been done on four Friction-Stir-Processed (FSPed) samples: BM (Base-Metal), FS (FSPed-Sample), FN5 (FSP Nano-ZrO2-coated/560 rpm rotational speed) and FN9 (FSP Nano-ZrO2-coated/900 rpm), to investigate the KIC and the dominant parameters on it for St 37 steel. Experiments are also surveyed and validated by ABAQUS. Results showe...

BACKGROUND Electroacupuncture (EA) at acupoint ST 37 (Shangjuxu) has been used to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms and improve gastrointestinal motility. However, the mechanisms by which EA affects the enteric nervous system (ENS) have scarcely been investigated. In this study, we investigated whether EA could improve ENS function. METHODS A constipation model was established by gastric in...

Background: Coronary artery disease is a major worldwide health issue of immense scope. It the biggest cause death and illness in both male female all over globe. Objective: To assess “prevalence non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction patients with acute coronary syndrome having normal ECG. Methodology: The current study was cross sectional carried out at department cardiology, Qazi Hus...

Abstract Steel is one of the most widely used metals in engineering. There are several things that make this material by humans, among others, amount quite abundant nature, usually still form iron ore or pure iron. It has good mechanical properties (strength and ductility), easy to work with either casting method machining so it can be made according human wishes, price relatively cheap. This s...

Serotype 1 is an important cause of invasive pneumococcal disease in South Africa and has declined following the introduction of the 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine in 2011. We genetically characterized 912 invasive serotype 1 isolates from 1989 to 2013. Simpson's diversity index (D) and recombination ratios were calculated. Factors associated with sequence types (STs) were assessed. C...
