the nnw-trending dena fault, with 140 km length, cuts the major structures of zagros fold-thrust belt in borujen region. the fault has divided the region in two zones, in which different structural, andmorphological features as well assedimentation and seismtectonic characteristics have developed. this study presents a new interpretation for the kinematics of dena fault based on field evidence....

DenA/DEN1 and the COP9 signalosome (CSN) represent two deneddylases which remove the ubiquitin-like Nedd8 from modified target proteins and are required for distinct fungal developmental programmes. The cellular DenA/DEN1 population is divided into a nuclear and a cytoplasmatic subpopulation which is especially enriched at septa. DenA/DEN1 stability control mechanisms are different for the two ...

Deneddylases remove the ubiquitin-like protein Nedd8 from modified proteins. An increased deneddylase activity has been associated with various human cancers. In contrast, we show here that a mutant strain of the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans deficient in two deneddylases is viable but can only grow as a filament and is highly impaired for multicellular development. The DEN1/DenA and the CO...

Hepatocellular carcinoma accounts for about 80-90% of all liver cancer and is the fourth most common cause of cancer mortality. Although there are many strategies for the treatment of liver cancer, chemoprevention seems to be the best strategy for lowering the incidence of this disease. Therefore, this study has been initiated to investigate whether thymoquinone (TQ), Nigella sativa derived-com...

The asymmetric unit of the title polymeric compound, [Cu(C8H4NO2)2(C10H14N2O)(H2O)] n , contains one Cu(II) atom, one coordinating water mol-ecule, two 4-cyano-benzoate (CB) ligands and one coordinating N,N-di-ethyl-nicotinamide (DENA) mol-ecule. The DENA ligand acts as a bis-monodentate ligand, while the CB anions are monodentate. Two O atoms of the CB ligands, one O atom of the water mol-ecul...

-Diethylnitrosamine (DENA) at 10 mg/kg/day was fed to adult rats either continuously or for periods ranging from 1 to 10 weeks. Survival correlated inversely with the duration of carcinogen feeding. Less than 4 weeks of DENA feeding produced only preneoplastic foci that persisted indefinitely; 4 weeks were found to be necessary for the transformation of preneoplastic lesions into liver cancers;...

The chemopreventive effects of decaffeinated green and black tea treatment on liver and lung tumorigenesis were examined in carcinogen-treated mice. Male C3H mice were given decaffeinated green or decaffeinated black tea in their drinking water prior to, during, and after treatment with diethylnitrosamine (50 micrograms/kg bw, i.p., once per week for 8 weeks). After 40 weeks of tea treatment, m...

The solubilizing ability of two aromatic hydrotropes, N,N-diethylnicotinamide (DENA) and N,N-dimethylbenzamide (DMBA), was investigated using a set of 13 poorly soluble, structurally diverse drugs. The number of aromatic rings in the solute molecule has a very strong effect on the solubility enhancement produced by either hydrotrope. However, although solubility enhancements in the order of 100...
