Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor found in children and adolescents and is associated with many complications including cancer pain and metastasis. While cancer patients often seek complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) approaches to treat cancer pain and fatigue or the side effects of chemotherapy and treatment, there is little known about the effect of acupuncture tre...

In this study, Coriolus versicolor mycelia (CVM) was evaluated the ergogenic and anti-fatigue activities. Male ICR mice were divided into four groups (n = 8/group) to receive vehicle or CVM by oral gavage for 4 weeks at 0, 615, 1230 or 3075 mg/kg/day, which were respectively designated the vehicle, CVM-1X, CVM-2X and CVM-5X groups. Forelimb grip strength, endurance swimming time, and levels of ...

in this study the original mitotic chromosome counts are presented for 5 onobrychis species of o. sect. onobrychis in iran, 2n = 2x = 14 for o. persica, 2n = 4x = 28 for o. viciifolia, 2n = 4x = 28 for o. altissima, 2n = 2x = 14 for o. shahpurensis and 2n = 2x = 14 for o. sosnovskyi. the basic chromosome numbers of all studied taxa are consistent with the proposed base number of x = 7. in addit...

The giant organs and enhanced concentrations of secondary metabolites realized by autopolyploidy are attractive for breeding the respective medicinal and agricultural plants and studying the genetic mechanisms. The traditional medicinal plant Chinese woad (Isatis indigotica Fort., 2n = 2x = 14) is now still largely used for the diseases caused by bacteria and viruses in China. In this study, it...

Little is known about the influence of Myosin Heavy Chain (MHC) isoforms on the contractile properties of single muscle fibres in large animals. We have studied MHC isoform composition and contractile properties of single muscle fibres from the pig. Masseter, diaphragm, longissimus, semitendinosus, rectractor bulbi and rectus lateralis were sampled in female pigs (aged 6 months, mass 160 kg). R...

In this paper we continue to research relationships between closure-type properties of hyperspaces over a space X and covering X. For Hausdorff denote by 2X the family all closed subsets We investigate selection bitopological (2X, Δ1+ , Δ2+) where Δi+ is upper Δi-topology for each i=1,2.

Using the fixed point method, we prove the generalized HyersUlam stability of the following cubic-quartic functional equation f(2x+ y) + f(2x− y) = 3f(x+ y) + f(−x− y) + 3f(x− y) + f(y − x) (0.1) + 18f(x) + 6f(−x)− 3f(y)− 3f(−y) in fuzzy Banach spaces.
