Everolimus as an mTOR Inhibitor Suppresses Endometriotic Implants: an Experimental Rat Study
(GEORG THIEME VERLAG KG, 2017)
Introduction Mammalian target of rapamycin is a pathway to block apoptosis. Recent studies showed that the activity of mammalian target of rapamycin pathway increases in endometriotic lesions. Aim of the present study was ...
Effect of local simvastatin application on mandibular defects
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2007)
Osteoinductive characteristics of bone grafts are important for enhancing osseous healing at grafted defect sites. The cholesterol-lowering drug simvastatin has been shown to stimulate bone formation by increasing the gene ...
Tolerance to isosorbide dinitrate in isolated strips of rabbit corpus cavernosum
(BLACKWELL SCIENCE LTD, 1998)
The aim of this study was to investigate whether prolonged exposure to a high concentration of isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) would result in tolerance being developed against its relaxant activity in strips of corpus cavernosum, ...
Crystal structure of 2-[4-(4-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-oxoazetidin-3-yl]benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3-dione dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate
(INT UNION CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, 2015)
In the title solvated compound, C28H19N2O4 center dot C2H6OS, the central beta-lactam ring is almost planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.002 angstrom). It makes dihedral angles of 1.92 (11), 83.23 (12) and 74.90 (10)degrees with ...
The place of computed tomography as a guidance modality in percutaneous nephrostomy: Analysis of a 10-year single-center experience
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2007)
Background: Percutaneous nephrostomy ( PCN) has been established as an effective technique for urinary decompression or diversion. This procedure may be performed with the guidance of fluoroscopy, ultrasonography, a ...
Influence of single hemodialysis session on serum paraoxonase-1, arylesterase activity, total oxidant status and total antioxidant status
(EDIZIONI MINERVA MEDICA, 2014)
Aim. Chronic kidney disease(CKD) and hemodialysis (HD) are associated with increased oxidative stress. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most important cause of mortality in these patients. Increased cardiovascular ...
Mechanical and thermal properties of polyamide versus reinforced PMMA denture base materials
(KOREAN ACAD PROSTHODONTICS, 2013)
PURPOSE. This in vitro study intended to investigate the mechanical and thermal characteristics of Valplast, and of polymethyl methacrylate denture base resin in which different esthetic fibers (E-glass, nylon 6 or nylon ...
Effect of pre-treatment and modification conditions of natural zeolites on the decomposition and reduction of N2O
(SPRINGER, 2015)
The decomposition of N2O and reduction of N2O with NH3 on natural and modified zeolites were studied by a steady state reaction. Two different natural zeolites having different phase compositions were modified by ion ...
SDF-1/CXCL12 and CXCR4 gene variants, and elevated serum SDF-1 levels are associated with preeclampsia
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2017)
Objective: We aimed to compare the frequencies of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) 3A and CXCR4 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and serum SDF-1 levels in patients with preeclampsia (PE).Methods: In total, 89 ...
The high hydrostatic pressure effect on shallow donor binding energies in GaAs-(Ga, Al)As cylindrical quantum well wires at selected temperatures
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2011)
We have presented the behavior of a shallow donor impurity with binding energy in cylindrical-shaped GaAs/Ga(0.7)Al(0.3)As quantum well wires under high hydrostatic pressure values. Our results are obtained in the effective ...
