Background: Portulaca oleracea as a herbal plant has been widely used in traditional medicine to cure many diseases. The therapeutic effects of this plant are exerted through its active ingredients with antioxidant properties. It has been shown that this plant may have cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. In the present study, cytotoxic effects of aqueous extract of Portulaca oleracea on oral cav...

It is well established that nuclear architecture plays a key role in poising regions of the genome for transcription. This may be achieved using scaffold/matrix attachment regions (S/MARs) that establish loop domains. However, the relationship between changes in the physical structure of the genome as mediated by attachment to the nuclear scaffold/matrix and gene expression is not clearly under...

The participation of the carotid body (CB) in glucose homeostasis and evidence obtained in simplified cultured CB slices or dissociated cells have led to the proposal that CB chemoreceptor cells are glucoreceptors. However, data generated in intact, freshly excised organs deny CB chemoreceptor cells' glucosensing properties. The physiological significance of the contention has prompted the pres...

We discuss and illustrate through numerical examples the relations between generating functionals, thermodynamic consistency (in particular the virial-free energy one), and uniqueness of the solution, in the integral equation theory of liquids. We propose a new approach for deriving closures automatically satisfying such characteristics. Results from a first exploration of this program are pres...

As average global temperatures rise, Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers. × transvaalensis Burtt Davy (triploid interspecific hybrid bermudagrass; HBG) may be increasingly suited for traditionally cooler climates where Poa pratensis L. (Kentucky bluegrass; KB) is common. The objective of this study to evaluate growth two HBG cultivars (‘DT-1’ and ‘NorthBridge Turf Bermudagrass’) compared with KB in all ...
