The effect of Escherichia coli heat-stable (ST) enterotoxin on calcium and cyclic nucleotide metabolism in rat basophilic leukemia cell cultures was investigated. Addition of ST enterotoxin to rat basophilic leukemia cell cultures resulted in dose- and time-dependent stimulation of calcium uptake and elevation of the intracellular cyclic GMP (cGMP) concentration. The effect of ST enterotoxin on...

This elegant volume by EdwardA Martin, a wellknown Dublin neurologist, lists some 170 bookplates ofIrish doctors. Although the majority are of Dublin physicians, some 50 are from Northern Ireland, such as Dr Thomas Andrews and Dr Alexander Jaffray Nicholson (father of the Brigadier), of the nineteenth century, and Dr Hugh Calwell and Sir Ian Fraser of more recent times. Most bookplates are armo...

abstract: there is always a need to increase a distillate output of solar still. if plates will be used inside solar still then distillate output of solar still are expected to increase. hence, an experimental study is conducted to improve distillate output of basin solar stills by increasing the effective surface area with the help of different plates. for the purpose of experiment, three sola...

A new method for the detection of Strongyloides larvae was established. A small amount of stool was placed in the center of an agar plate and was incubated at 37•Ž for 24 hr. Characteristically aligned bacterial colonies or furrows left by crawling Strongyloides larvae appeared on the agar surface are the positive findings. The larvae gathered in a well made on positive plate were identified. B...

Background: Acupuncture at specific acupoints has experimentally been found to reduce chronically elevated blood pressure. Objective: To examine effectiveness of electroacupuncture (EA) at select acupoints to reduce systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressures (DBP) in hypertensive patients. Design: Two-arm parallel study. Patients: Sixty-five hypertensive patients not receiving ...

The turning process is one of the machining processes for producing machine components. Where lathe included in that uses a chisel. quality cut surface depends on cutting conditions, example low with large feed and depth will result rough so on. This study aims to determine what effect angle length use chisel, where chisel used an HSS In this using experimental research methods aim knowing time...

MK801 (MK), an N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, attenuates tolerance to spinal opioids. Whether this applies to other G-protein-coupled receptor systems is unknown. This study examines the effects of continuous spinal MK on tolerance to the antinociceptive effect of continuous spinal infusion of the alpha-2 agonist ST91 (ST). Intrathecal (i.t.) infusion pumps were implanted in r...

Herein, Compact-Testing (CT ) and Charpy V-Notch (CVN) testing have been done on four Friction-Stir-Processed (FSPed) samples: BM (Base-Metal), FS (FSPed-Sample), FN5 (FSP Nano-ZrO2-coated/560 rpm rotational speed) and FN9 (FSP Nano-ZrO2-coated/900 rpm), to investigate the KIC and the dominant parameters on it for St 37 steel. Experiments are also surveyed and validated by ABAQUS. Results showe...

BACKGROUND Electroacupuncture (EA) at acupoint ST 37 (Shangjuxu) has been used to alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms and improve gastrointestinal motility. However, the mechanisms by which EA affects the enteric nervous system (ENS) have scarcely been investigated. In this study, we investigated whether EA could improve ENS function. METHODS A constipation model was established by gastric in...
