Interferon-tau (IFN tau) acts locally on the endometrium to suppress estrogen and oxytocin receptor expression and block luteolysis in ruminants. Systemic administration of conceptus homogenates or recombinant ovine IFN tau does not block luteolysis or enhance pregnancy rates in sheep or cattle, respectively. However, IFN tau up-regulates expression of the antiviral protein Mx throughout the en...

objective: the purpose of this study was to observe the effects of methoxyamine (mx) on the cytotoxic effects and dna damage caused by 5-fluorouoracil (5-fu), in combination with gamma-rays in human colon cancer cell line. materials and methods: in this experimental study, ht29 cells were cultured as a monolayer and treated with different concentrations of 5-fu along with 1 mm mx for 24 h. afte...

We investigated the clinical impact of breast scintigraphy acquired with a breast specific γ-camera (BSGC) in the diagnosis of breast cancer (BC) and assessed its incremental value over mammography (Mx). A consecutive series of 467 patients underwent BSGC scintigraphy for different indications: suspicious lesions on physical examination and/or on US/MRI negative at Mx (BI-RADS 1 or 3), characte...

The cancer potency of MX ("mutagen X"; 3-chloro-4-(dichloromethyl)-5-hydroxy-2(5H)furanone) was estimated from dose-response data of multiple MX-responding tumor sites observed among male and female rats exposed orally (Komulainen et al., 1997; 2000). These sites were liver, adrenal and thyroid in both sexes and mammary gland in the female. Other sites were associated with treatment, but were j...

Abstract Der neue Ecobulk MX 560 von Schütz ist ein besonders flacher IBC mit einem Nennvolumen Litern beziehungsweise 150 Gallonen. Somit eignet sich der Container bestens für Anwendungen, bei denen kleinere Gebinde Vorteil sind, es jedoch parallel auf maximale Performance und höchste Qualität ankommt. Er kombiniert optimales Füllvolumen gleichzeitig geringer Containerhöhe einer bereits vielfa...

More than half a century after the discovery of transposable elements, the number of genetically defined autonomous elements that have been isolated and characterized molecularly in any one species remains surprisingly small. Because of its rich genetic history, maize (Zea mays) is, by far, the plant with the largest number of such elements. Yet, even in maize, a maximum of only two autonomous ...

Minoxidil (Mx), a pyrimidine N-oxide, is used therapeutically as an antihypertensive agent and to induce hair growth in patients with male pattern baldness. Mx NO-sulphate has been implicated as the agent active in producing these effects. This paper describes the purification of a unique sulphotransferase (ST) from rat liver cytosol that is capable of catalysing the sulphation of Mx. By using ...

The goal of this study was to develop and evaluate the potential use of liposome and transfersome vesicles in the transdermal drug delivery of meloxicam (MX). MX-loaded vesicles were prepared and evaluated for particle size, zeta potential, entrapment efficiency (%EE), loading efficiency, stability, and in vitro skin permeation. The vesicles were spherical in structure, 90 to 140 nm in size, an...

Efficient VM communication in Cloud computing infrastructures is an important aspect of HPC application deployment in clusters of VMs. In this paper we present Xen2MX, a high-performance messaging protocol, binary compatible with Myrinet/MX and wire compatible with MXoE. Its design is based on MX and its port over generic Ethernet adapters, Open-MX. Xen2MX combines the zero-copy characteristics...

The cement–clay interaction (CI) experiment was carried out at the Mont Terri rock laboratory to complement current knowledge on influence that cementitious materials have Opalinus Clay (OPA) and bentonite (MX). Drill cores including interface of OPA, concrete (LAC = low-alkali binder, OPC ordinary Portland cement), MX, which interacted for 4.9 10 years, were successfully retrieved after drilli...
