We studied the influence of acidosis on the positive inotropic effect of UD-CG 212 Cl (4,5-dihydro-6-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-benzimidazole-5-yl]-5-methyl-3(2H)-pyridazinone), an active metabolite of pimobendan, in canine ventricular trabeculae loaded with aequorin. The positive inotropic effect of UD-CG 212 Cl was markedly suppressed under acidotic conditions. The maximal contractile response t...

the effect of ca, zn and b foliar application (five g l-1) and their mixed applications as well as two harvest dates (1st and 15st of august) on ppo activity of two commercial asian pears (‘ks’9 and ‘ks’13) fruits at the time of harvest and during storage were investigated. results showed that the ppo activity increased from harvest time to three months after storage and then decreased. during ...

1 Abstract Since the industrial revolution, standardization has become a hybrid of technical design and political processes with major impact on markets, social welfare and economic activity. Standards are increasingly developed outside government regulatory venues in consortia and other forms of voluntary consensus bodies involving collaboration among private sector competitors, suppliers, cus...

been rising, it represents only 20% of method use among 15–44-year-old women.7 In addition, the widespread availability of modern, efficient contraceptives—sterilization, the pill, IUD, implant and injectable—contributes to low rates of condom use. However, while these methods are more effective than barrier methods at preventing pregnancy, do not reduce sensitivity or pleasure during intercour...

Abstract The Beishan orogen is part of the Neo-proterozoic to early Mesozoic Central Asian Orogenic System in central Asia that exposes ophiolitic complexes, passive-margin strata, arc assemblages, and Precambrian basement rocks. To better constrain tectonic evolution orogen, we conducted field mapping, U-Pb zircon dating, whole-rock geochemical analysis, Sr-Nd isotopic analysis. new results, w...

Novel amphiphilic chitosan derivatives (N-caprinoyl-N-trimethyl chitosan [CA-TMC]) were synthesized by grafting the hydrophobic moiety caprinoyl (CA) and hydrophilic moiety trimethyl chitosan to prepare carriers with good compatibility for poorly soluble drugs. Based on self-assembly, CA-TMC can form micelles with sizes ranging from 136 nm to 212 nm. The critical aggregation concentration incre...
