AbstractIn the present work we set out to investigate the neuroprotective effects of noscapine (0.5-2 µM) in presence of D-glucose on primary murine foetal cortical neurons after oxygen–glucose deprivation/24 hrs recovery. Cell viability, nitric oxide production and intracellular calcium ([ca2+]i) levels were evaluated by MTT assay, the modified Griess method and Fura-2 respectively. 25 and 100...

UNLABELLED Supplemental oxygen maintained during and for 2 h after colon resection halves the incidence of nausea and vomiting. Whether supplemental oxygen restricted to the intraoperative period is sufficient remains unknown. Similarly, the relative efficacy of supplemental oxygen and ondansetron is unknown. We tested the hypothesis that intraoperative supplemental oxygen reduces the incidence...

These supplemental materials provide appendices not included in the main text. Supplemental Appendix C gives derivations for the examples given in Sections 4 and 5. Supplemental Appendix D considers feasible versions of the procedures in Section 3 in the case with unknown error distribution and derives their asymptotic efficiency. Supplemental Appendix E gives some auxiliary results used for re...

INTRODUCTION We examined the influence of an intervention to increase fruit and vegetable purchases at farmers' markets for recipients of food assistance, Shop N Save (SNS), on revenue trends at a farmers' market located at a federally qualified health center (FQHC) in rural South Carolina. We compared revenue trends for 20 weeks before the intervention (2011) and 20 weeks after (2012). METHO...

supernumerary teeth are defined as the teeth developed in excess of the number found in a normal dentition. supernumerary canine is an extremely rare finding particularly in the mandible. this case report presents a 25-year-old female patient with the unique feature of bilateral mandibular supplemental supernumerary canines. the patient was non-syndromic without any other supernumerary teeth.

Background: Oocyte maturation is usually defined as the period of progression from the first to the second meiotic arrest and involves coordinated nuclear and cytoplasmic modification. Ca2+ signals are known as important regulators of oocyte maturation. Extracellular Ca2+ is important for first polar body formation, normal meiosis kinetics, and for preserving the chromosome and spindle configur...

this experiment was performed in order to determine effects of different levels of dietary l-threonine supplementation in male japanese quails’ diets on immune response, small intestinal morphology, blood parameters and microflora.one hundred and forty four, 1-d old japanese quails have been selected and randomly distributed between six treatments and four replicates. basal ration was based on ...
