Viral infections induce excess non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) in mice. Growth hormone-releasing hormone receptor (GHRH receptor) was previously identified as a candidate gene responsible for NREMS responses to influenza challenge in mice. The dwarf lit/lit mouse with a nonfunctional GHRH receptor was used to assess the role of the GHRH receptor in viral-induced NREMS. After influenza A vi...

BACKGROUND Vaginal sonograghy and serial -hCG are the most common diagnostic methods for ectopic pregnancy but about 50% of cases are initially misdiagnosed. In tubal pregnancy the zygote lies next to the muscular layer, and this invasion causes an increase in creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in blood. OBJECTIVE assessment of CPK and its isoenzyme CPK-MB as a diagnostic marker for tubal pregnancy...

Homozygous little (lit/lit) mutant mice exhibit a growth lag which is manifested at approximately two weeks postnatally. Functional aspects of the development of pituitary growth hormone (GH) cells and prolactin (PRL) cells were thus analyzed by means of colloidal gold immunocytochemistry at the ultrastructural level in lit/lit mice and their normal counterparts ranging in age from 5 days postn...

In this study, Ni–P–Fe2O3 composite was deposited on AISI 4140 steel using different concentrations of Fe2O3 ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 gr/lit in an electroless bath. The phase analysis and surface morphology the samples were characterized X-ray diffraction FESEM. corrosion behavior coated investigated a 3.5 wt. % NaCl solution through potentiodynamic polarization. results test show that adding in...

We start with a warm-up: we explain Nakajima’s construction of the geometric sl2-action on ⊕ v Hmid(T ∗Gr(v, w)). 1.1. Warm-up: Nakajima’s geometric action. The lagrangian subvariety φ−1(0) ⊂ M(v) is easily seen to be the zero section Gr(v, w) ⊂ T ∗Gr(v, w). Indeed, consider the action of C× on M(v) induced from the C×-action on T ∗R by fiberwise dilations. Under the identification ofM(v) with ...

whit the extension of nanotechnology and materials engeneering, various nanoparticles are produced that have new characteristics but the toxic effects of them is still unknown in most of materials. nowadays metal oxide nanoparticales are widely used in indusery and other fields. this study was conducted goldfish with the average weigh of 3±0.5 gr and owerag length of 7±0.5 cm nd four cares of z...
