The layer poultry is an important activity for food production with high biological value. Measuring egg quality has great relevance to ensure safety and products consumers. Thus, the objective was evaluate physical of four laying hen’s strains. Were used 864 eggs from hens’ lines (Hisex Brown®, Hy-Line Isa Label®, Lohmann Brown®). experimental design completely randomized composed treatments (...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-cancer activity of cisplatin by studying its effects on cell viability and identifying the mechanisms underlying the induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis on oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines with varying p53 mutation status. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three OSCC cell lines, YD-8 (p53 point mutation), YD-9 (p53 wild ...

The abrupt climate event Younger Dryas (YD) has been extensively studied; however, its structure is still poorly understood. Climate in northeastern Brazil very sensitive to the latitudinal position of intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) associated with change Atlantic. Here, we report changes ITCZ within YD by using precise speleothem multiproxy records from Brazil. We provide evidence for a...

Background: The accurate difference between normal pregnancy and abnormal in early gestation remains a challenge clinically. Different studies have previously described the association fetal well-being gestational sac characteristics. Yolk first appears at 5 weeks becomes visible by ultrasound, while heart rate 6 they can be used as prognostic parameters for trimester outcome pregnancy. Study a...

Introduction: Feathers are important body structures that act as surface insulators to reduce maintenance energy requirements and also to protect skin against abrasions and infection. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of methionine injection into the yolk sac on development of feather follicle in chicken embryo. Methods: 50 fertilized eggs (weighting 50±0.4 gr) of Ross×...

Background: During the past 20 years a lot of information is achieved about the first trimester of pregnancy through ultrasound and intrauterine fertilization. Many researchers tried to use the symptoms of ultrasound in early pregnancy like measuring the gestational sac and yolk sac of the pregnancy to predict the continuation of pregnancy. Aim of the recent study is to predict the risk of spon...

Objective. To systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy of Yindanxinnaotong (YD) soft capsule in adult patients with cardiovascular diseases (stroke and angina pectoris). Methods. We electronically searched databases including Medline, PubMed, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Cqvip Database (VIP), and Wanfang Database for published articles of randomized controlled trials (...

The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is a common component of fitness assessments of older adults; however, differing course configurations might affect 6MWT performance. It is unclear how comparable 2 different configurations are. To determine the comparability of 2 courses, 35 adults >65 years of age completed two 6MWT, once walking around a 20- by 5-yd outdoor rectangle and once on an indoor oval trac...

Soil nitrogen (N) is available to rice crops as either nitrate or ammonium, but only nitrate can be accrued in cells and so factors that influence its storage and remobilization are important for N use efficiency (NUE). The hypothesis that the ability of rice crops to remobilize N storage pools is an indicator of NUE was tested. When two commonly grown Chinese rice cultivars, Nong Ken (NK) and ...
