the objectives of the present study were to evaluate spring wheat recombinant inbred lines (rils) of diverse origin by estimating genetic parameters viz., variability, character association, cluster analysis, and principal component analysis (pca) for spot blotch resistance and yield components at bhu agricultural research farm during 2010-2011. grain yield per plot was significantly and positi...

The simultaneous determination of vitamin D2 and its isomers by high-speed liquid chromatography (HSLC) is described. Preferred operating conditions for the resolution and quantitation of vitamin D2 5,6-trans-vitamin D2, ergosterol, lumisterol2, isovitamin D2, isotachysterol2, tachysterol2, and previtamin D2 are as follows: column, "Zorbax" SIL (25 cm x 2.1 mm i.d.); pressure, 100-120 kg/cm2; t...

A full-length cDNA encoding a dopamine receptor (DA-R) was obtained from the pituitary of tilapia (ta). This cDNA encodes a protein of 469 amino acids that exhibits the typical arrangement of GPCR. The taDA-R shows high similarity to the DA-Rs of mullet and fugu, and over 70% similarity to Xenopus, mouse and turkey D2 DA-Rs. Northern blot analysis revealed transcript for a single transcript in ...

The present investigation was carried out with 20 genotypes of pea (Pisum sativum L.) at Horticulture Research Centre (HRC) SVPUAT, Meerut, U.P, during 2021-22 to identify the nature and magnitude genetic divergence among based on phenotypical traits using multivariate analysis. experiment laid down in randomized block design (RBD) three replications. has ten observations five randomly selected...

Prognostic factors for breast cancer include axillary lymph node status, tumor size, histology, nuclear grade, presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors, HER2/neu status, and mean microvessel density (MVD). In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of a new marker, D2-40, by investigating lymph vascular invasion of the tumor immunohistochemically in 132 patients with breast cancer and co...

This study was conducted to investigate prognosis and survival of patients undergoing distal subtotal gastrectomy with D2 and D2+ lymphadenectomy for patients with locally advanced gastric cancer. Overall survival rates of 416 patients with locally advanced gastric cancer were compared between D2 and D2+ lymphadenectomy. Univariate analysis and multivariate analysis was used to identify signifi...

INTRODUCTION Antipsychotic drugs exert antipsychotic effects by blocking dopamine D2 receptors in the treatment of schizophrenia. However, effects of D2 receptor blockade on neurocognitive function still remain to be elucidated. The objective of this analysis was to evaluate impacts of estimated dopamine D2 receptor occupancy with antipsychotic drugs on several domains of neurocognitive functio...

BACKGROUND There is increasing awareness that meta-analyses require a sufficiently large information size to detect or reject an anticipated intervention effect. The required information size in a meta-analysis may be calculated from an anticipated a priori intervention effect or from an intervention effect suggested by trials with low-risk of bias. METHODS Information size calculations need ...

Adolescence is a developmental period characterized by heightened vulnerability to illicit drug use and the onset of neuropsychiatric disorders. These clinical phenomena likely share common neurobiological substrates, as mesocorticolimbic dopamine systems actively mature during this period. Whereas prior studies have examined age-dependent changes in dopamine receptor binding, there have been f...
