Brittle stars are known for the high flexibility of their arms, a characteristic required for locomotion, food grasping, and for holding onto a great diversity of substrates. Their high agility is facilitated by the numerous discrete skeletal elements (ossicles) running through the center of each arm and embedded in the skin. While much has been…[Read more]

The authors of this study aimed to determine the effect of reflexology on labor outcomes in primiparous pregnant women. A total of 60 women participated in the study in 2 groups of 30 for reflexology and control groups. During the first stage of labor, the reflexology technique was applied to reflex regions of each foot. VAS mean scores and State…[Read more]

PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS The MITS can be used to assess conversations for their MI consistency in GP-setting where most consultations are relatively short and are only partially dedicated to behaviour change. As the MITS assesses complex communication skills, experienced coders are needed. In order to provide optimal cancer care and prognostication,…[Read more]

Specifically, the cursor was visible either during the outward or backward hand movement (conditions Out and Back, respectively). Our data revealed reduced integration in the condition Back compared with the condition Out, suggesting that causality evidence available before the to-be-judged movement endpoint is more powerful than later evidence in…[Read more]

The Na-ZSM-5 catalysts (SiO2/Al2O3 molar ratio = 20, 35, and 50) were prepared by rapid crystallization method to investigate their performance in butene cracking reaction. SB203580 ic50 The XRD, XRF, NH3-TPD, FT-IR, TPO, UV-Vis, and 1H, 27Al, 29Si MAS NMR techniques were used to identify the physical and chemical properties of Na-ZSM-5 cat…[Read more]

Multiple myeloma is a highly heterogeneous disease of clonal plasma cells. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors are promising anticancer drugs but their precise mechanisms of actions are not well understood.

Cell-cycle regulation and pro-apoptotic effects of two histone deacetylase inhibitors, suberohydroxamic acid (SAHA) and…[Read more]

Paris Saponin II (PSII) has been regarded as an effective and imperative component isolated from Rhizoma Paridis saponins (RPS) and exhibited strong anti-tumor effects on a variety of cancer. Our results revealed that human non-small lung cancer cell lines NCI-H460 and NCI-H520 were exposed to 1 μM of PSII, which inhibited the proliferation of…[Read more]

Immunohistochemically, the granulosa cells of antral follicles and the eosinophils of the theca tissue as well of the early corpus luteum showed a strong staining for HIF1A. The location of the eosinophils could be clearly demonstrated by immunostaining with an eosinophil-specific antibody (EMBP) and transmission electron microscopy. In…[Read more]
