Development of a sampling plan for Myzus persicae (Hemiptera : Aphidoidea) and its predator Macrolophus costalis (Hemiptera : Miridae) on tobacco
(Czech Acad Sci, Inst Entomology, Ceske Budejovice, 2005)
A tobacco field in Greece was sampled during the 2001 and 2002 growing seasons to assess the seasonal trends in densities and spatial distributions of the aphid Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and its predatory mirid Macrolophus ...
Hydroxyurea increases eNOS protein levels through inhibition of proteasome activity
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, San Diego, 2007)
Recent reports have identified the proteasome as the primary degradation pathway for inducible, neuronal and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (NOS). We have demonstrated that hydroxyurea increased nitric oxide (NO) ...
Effects of gamma-radiation on cell growth, cycle arrest, death, and superoxide dismutase expression by DU145 human prostate cancer cells
(Assoc Bras Divulg Cientifica, Ribeirao Preto, 2006)
Gamma-irradiation (gamma-IR) is extensively used in the treatment of hormone-resistant prostate carcinoma. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of Co-60 gamma-IR on the growth, cell cycle arrest ...
Changes in movement variables associated with transient overshoot of the final position
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2000)
Transient overshoot (TO), which is assessed as the distance between the movement amplitude and the final position, was measured in a series of rapid, discrete elbow flexion movements performed under different distance and ...
Persistence and efficacy of three diatomaceous earth formulations against Sitophilus oryzae (Coleoptera : Curculionidae) on wheat and barley
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, Cary, 2005)
The insecticidal and residual efficacy of three diatomaceous earth (DE) formulations, Insecto, PyriSec, and SilicoSec, against Sitophilus oryzae (L.) on barley and wheat was assessed. For this purpose, 4-kg lots of barley ...

Serum beta(2)-microglobulin as a marker of congenital toxoplasmosis and cytomegalovirus infection in preterm neonates
(Karger, Basel, 2008)
Background: Fetal serum beta(2)-microglobulin (beta M-2) has been reported as a reliable indicator of fetal infectious diseases. Objectives: To evaluate serum beta M-2 as a marker of congenital toxoplasmosis or cytomegalovirus ...
Allozyme polymorphism of Mdh and alpha-Gpdh in Ixodes ricinus populations: comparison of borreliae-infected and uninfected ticks
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2006)
Ixodes ricinus Linnaeus (Acari: Ixodidae) ticks are vectors of numerous infectious diseases in humans and animals. The allozyme variability of MDH and alpha-Gpdh was detected by native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis ...
Influence of carvedilol on chronic renal failure progression in spontaneously hypertensive rats with adriamycin nephropathy
(Dustri-Verlag Dr Karl Feistle, Deisenhofen-Muenchen, 2005)
Background: In this study, the effects of carvedilol, antihypertensive (alpha-beta blocker) agent with antiproliferative and antioxidative properties, on slowing down of chronic renal failure (CRF) progression in spontaneously ...
