Thermal, morphological, and mechanical properties of ethyl vanillin immobilized in polyvinyl alcohol by electrospinning process
(Springer, Dordrecht, 2014)
In this study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers with ethyl vanillin as an active compound were prepared using electrospinning technique. The final products of electrospinning process were in the form of nanofibers films. ...
Investigation into novel thiophene- and furan-based 4-amino-7-chloroquinolines afforded antimalarials that cure mice
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2015)
We herein report the design and synthesis of a novel series of thiophene-and furan-based aminoquinoline derivatives which were found to be potent antimalarials and inhibitors of b-hematin polymerization. Tested compounds ...
Grammatical Gender and Mental Representation of Object: The Case of Musical Instruments
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, New York, 2015)
A body of research shows that grammatical gender, although an arbitrary category, is viewed as the system with its own meaning. However, the question remains to what extent does grammatical gender influence shaping our ...
Feasibility of the two-point method for assessing the force-velocity relationship during lower-body and upper-body isokinetic tests
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, Abingdon, 2019)
This study aimed to (1) evaluate the shape of the force-velocity (F-V) relationship obtained from different muscles, (2) explore the concurrent validity of the two-point method with respect to the multiple-point method, ...
Toxoplasma gondii in beef consumed in France: Regional variation in seroprevalence and parasite isolation
(EDP Sciences, 2019)
In France, the consumption of cattle and sheep meat appears to be a risk factor for infection of pregnant women with Toxoplasma gondii. Several nation-wide surveys in France have investigated the prevalence of T. gondii ...
Lower Serum Paraoxonase-1 Activity Is Related to Linoleic and Docosahexanoic Fatty Acids in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
(Elsevier Science Inc, New York, 2012)
Background. Serum paraoxonase-1(PON-1) activity is decreased in clinical conditions associated with low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), increased lipid peroxidation and low-grade chronic inflammation, as in ...
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 ...
