The effects of deuterium-depleted water (DDW) containing deuterium (D) at a concentration 25 parts per million (ppm), 50 ppm, 105 ppm and the control 150 were monitored in MIA-PaCa-2 pancreatic cancer cells by real-time cell impedance detection xCELLigence method. data revealed that lower concentrations corresponded to MiA PaCa-2 growth rate. Nuclear membrane turnover nucleic acid synthesis rat...

We present a study of the electrical and thermal conductivities of the d-density wave (DDW) state in an external magnetic field B in the low temperature regime and in the presence of impurities. We show that in the zero temperature limit, T → 0, the Wiedemann-Franz (WF) law remains intact. For finite T the WF law violation is possible and it is enhanced by the external field.

The cashew tree (Anacardium occidentale L.) is a tropical plant found widely in many Southeast Asian countries, including Thailand, and contains bioactive phenolic compounds with antioxidant activity. natural antioxidants such as collagenase tyrosinase inhibitors medicinal plants are promising agents cosmetic products. This study evaluated the inhibitory activities of from leaf extracts by deve...

With the development of distributed computing technology, there remain some important problems of collaborative control in distributed multi-user data sharing: heterogeneous environment, data consistency and concurrent operation. To solve the sharing issues in drilling engineering, this paper introduces a method of realizing information sharing by combining the advantages of multi-agent collabo...

Purpose. To evaluate the mineral ion loss of root dentine after treatment with 2% chlorhexidine solution (CHX) and to compare its yield and flexural strength (fs) after exposure to calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)2]. Materials and Methods. Dentine bars (DB) were made from 90 roots of bovine incisors and randomized into three groups: GControl: distilled/deionized water (DDW), GNaOCl: 2.5% sodium hypoch...

The ability of unmodified linear peptides to penetrate the insect cuticle and exert bioactivity (e.g., stimulation of sex pheromone biosynthesis) was tested by topical application onto Heliothis peltigera moths of four insect neuropeptides (Nps) of the pyrokinin (PK)/pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide (PBAN) family: Helicoverpa zea PBAN (Hez-PBAN), Pseudaletia (Mythimna) separata ph...

Objective(s): Combination chemotherapy is a rational strategy to increase patient response and tolerability and to decrease adverse effects and drug resistance. Recently, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been reported to be associated with reduction in occurrence of a variety of cancers including lung cancer. On the other hand, growing evidences suggest that deuteri...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to examine the determinants of publication and whether publication bias occurred in gastroenterological research. METHODS A random sample of abstracts submitted to DDW, the major GI meeting (1992-1995) was evaluated. The publication status was determined by database searches, complemented by a mailed survey to abstract authors. Determinants of publication ...

BACKGROUND The Digestive Diseases Week (DDW) is the major meeting for presentation of research in gastroenterology. The acceptance of an abstract for presentation at this meeting is the most important determinant of subsequent full publication. We wished to examine the determinants of abstract acceptance for this meeting. METHODS A cross-sectional study was performed, based on abstracts submi...
