Aims: To determine the molecular properties of common antihistamines and non-steroidal antiinflammatory agents (NSAIDs). To identify interrelationships among these two groups of drugs utilizing pattern recognition methods and statistical analysis. Study Design: After determination of molecular properties, values thereof are examined using pattern recognition methods and other numerical analysis...

This paper aims to clarify the landscape characteristic and propose utilization method based on 90 paintings of coastal area Seto Inland Sea. By analyzing elements depicted in painting viewpoint which painted, characteristics were clarified. Through PCoA analysis cluster analysis, classified into six groups significant each group summarized index this area. From a case study, we proposed urban ...

BACKGROUND Recent molecular studies have revealed a highly complex bacterial assembly in the canine intestinal tract. There is mounting evidence that microbes play an important role in the pathogenesis of acute and chronic enteropathies of dogs, including idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to characterize the bacterial microbiota in dogs with various gastroin...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS The Mediterranean Basin is one of the most important regions for the Earth's plant biodiversity; however, the scarcity of studies on fine scale patterns of genetic variation in this region is striking. Here, an assessment is made of the spatial genetic structure of all known locations of the three Sardinian endemic species of Aquilegia in order to determine the relative role...

The study aimed to characterize the role of heavy metal micronutrients in swine feed in emergence of heavy-metal-tolerant and multidrug-resistant Salmonella organisms. We conducted a longitudinal study in 36 swine barns over a 2-year period. The feed and fecal levels of Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) were measured. Salmonella was isolated at early and late finishing. MICs of copper sulfate and zinc chloride...

We investigated coliphages from various fecal sources, including humans and animals, for microbial source tracking in South Korea. Both somatic and F+-specific coliphages were isolated from 43 fecal samples from farms, wild animal habitats, and human wastewater plants. Somatic coliphages were more prevalent and abundant than F+ coliphages in all of the tested fecal samples. We further character...

OBJECTIVES Disruption of the intestinal microbiota is considered an etiological factor in pediatric functional constipation. Scientifically based selection of potential beneficial probiotic strains in functional constipation therapy is not feasible due to insufficient knowledge of microbiota composition in affected subjects. The aim of this study was to describe microbial composition and divers...

Paris polyphylla Sm. is a vulnerable medicinal plant distributed in the Himalayan countries. This has numerous pharmacological benefits, including anticancer, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antipyretic properties. The distribution, conservation status, traditional usage of this species are fairly known Nepal. However, its diversity population structure at molecular level unexplored. study an...

Fatty acids and other negatively charged single-chain lipids increase large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K(+) (BK(Ca)) channel activity, whereas sphingosine and other positively charged single-chain lipids suppress activity. Because these molecules are effective on both inside-out and outside-out patches and because they can flip across the bilayer, the location of their site of action is uncle...

Background: The aim of this study is to provide better insights into the cerebral perfusion patterns and collateral mechanism of the circle of Willis (CoW) under anatomical and pathological variations. Methods: In the current study, a patient-specific three-dimensional computational model of the CoW was reconstructed based on the computed tomography (CT) images. The Carreau model was applied to...
