An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary acid detergent fiber (ADF) levels on the growth performance, intestinal integrity and mucosal immunity of weaning New Zealand rabbits. Three isoenergetic and isonitrogenous diets were formulated, containing ADF 150, 200 and 250 g/kg DM, respectively (treatment A150, A200 and A250, respectively. A200 was treated as the control grou...

The selective oxidation of methane to high value-added liquid oxygenated compounds under mild conditions is great significance promote the efficient utilization carbon source, but it also faces dilemma low activity and over-oxidation. Here, ZnTi-layered double hydroxides (LDH)-A200 photocatalysts with Pd loading are prepared achieve methane, O2 as an oxidant ambient condition. highest generatio...

BACKGROUND This prospective, randomized, double-blind, clinical study was conducted to compare the effects of 4% articaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine (A100) and 4% articaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine (A200) on the vital signs and onset and duration of anesthesia in an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB). METHODS In the first appointment, an IANB was performed by injecting A100 or A200 in 1 ...

BACKGROUND Presence of epinephrine in local anesthetic cartridge increases the duration of local anesthesia (LA), decreases the risk of toxicity, and provides hemostasis. However, the unfavorable effects are increasing heart rate (HR) and raising blood pressure (BP). The aim was to evaluate hemodynamic changes in the BP, HR, and oxygen saturation (SpO2) of normal patients undergoing tooth extra...

Drug-resistant sublines of the human U-937 myeloid leukemia cell line were selected in doxorubicin concentrations of 10, 40, and 200 ng/mL (designated U-A10, U-A40, and U-A200, respectively). Northern blot analysis showed overexpression of the multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) gene, but not MDR1, in U-A10 cells as compared with parental U-937 cells. Prolonged passage of U-A10 cells ...

BACKGROUND This study evaluated the impact of different doses of Astragalus polysaccharides (APS) on the functional status and phenotype of T cells during polymicrobial sepsis. METHODS On day 1 after cecal ligation and puncture, mice were treated with either saline, 100 (A100), 200 (A200), or 400 mg APS/kg body weight (BW) (A400) by an intraperitoneal injection daily for 4 days. All mice were...

The aim of the present study is to analyse the influence of different large-sided games (LSGs) on the physical and physiological variables in under-12s (U12) and -13s (U13) soccer players. The effects of the combination of different number of players per team, 7, 9, and 11 (P7, P9, and P11, respectively) with three relative pitch areas, 100, 200, and 300 m(2) (A100, A200, and A300, respectively...
