Divalent ions of the first series transition elements and Hg were introduced into a cadmium hydroxyapatite Cd5 (P04) 30H by replacing a part of Cd2+, and the effects on the crystal growths and the structural changes were studied. Cd2+ can be exchanged with Mn2+ up to about 30 mol %, with N¡Z+or Hg2+ up to about 10 mol %, and with a little amount of Fe2+ or Cu2+. It was found that Cd5 (PO.)sOH f...

The pharmacokinetics of active components such as baicalein, wogonin and oroxylin A were evaluated after oral administration of a purified extract of Scutellaria baicalensis GEORGI (PF-2405) containing the high contents of baicalein, wogonin and oroxylin A to rats. Following oral administration of PF-2405 at 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg dose (equivalent to 4.5, 9.0 and 18 mg/kg baicalein), a major const...

Background Cannabis is the most commonly reported illicit drug in drugged driving cases. Achieving accurate oral fluid (OF) cannabinoid on-site results is challenging and essential. Aims Device performance and OF cannabinoid detection windows 30h post-smoking were evaluated in occasional (<2x/week) and frequent (≥4x/week) cannabis smokers. Methods 10 occasional and 14 frequent smokers (18-45 ye...

Irinotecan suppository was prepared using the moulding method with a homogeneous blend. A sensitive and specific fluorescence method was developed and validated for the determination of irinotecan in plasma using HPLC. The pharmacokinetics of intravenous administered and rectal administered in rabbits was investigated. Following a single intravenous dose of irinotecan (50 mg/kg), the plasma iri...

Previously a deletion in mouse chromosome 17, T(22H), was shown to behave like a t allele of the t complex distorter gene Tcd1, and this was attributed to deletion of this locus. Seven further deletions are studied here, with the aim of narrowing the critical region in which Tcd1 must lie. One deletion, T(30H), together with three others, T(31H), T(33H), and T(36H), which extended more proximal...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of single bouts of exercise at three different intensities on the redox state of human serum albumin (HSA) and on carbonyl groups on protein (CP) concentrations in plasma. Trained men [n = 44, maximal oxygen consumption (Vo(2max)): 55 +/- 5 ml.kg(-1).min(-1), nonsmokers, 34 +/- 5 years of age] from a homogenous population, volunteers from ...

We discuss structure formation in cosmic string theories. Emphasis is laid on the properties of the peculiar velocity field, non–gaussian features and clusters of galaxies. It is found that the predicted peculiar velocity field is quiet (v < 150 km/s for L > 30h Mpc) for models with (Ω0h ≤ 0.2) which is in disagreement with the results from POTENT at large scales (> 30h Mpc), consistent, howeve...

Uncontrolled intervention study that compared the effectiveness of two elective courses on Prevention and Assistance to violence victims for students and professionals of the Health Sector. The participants answered multiple-choice questions on the topic before and after the course. Statistical analyzes were performed by comparison of two proportions on STATA/IC. Regarding the overall index of ...

Equipment service environment often has a certain corrosive, accelerate equipment corrosion, affect the integrity of equipment. In order to accurately monitor micro-environment corrosion strength equipment, multi-channel quartz crystal microbalance calibration test and vibration sensor temperature supplement were carried out realize frequency-quality signal conversion improve accuracy data acqu...
