[Study on mitigating effect and mechanism of Cichorium glandulosum n-butanol extraction site on CCl_4-induced chronic liver injury in rats].

This study aims to investigate the mitigating effect and mechanism of Cichorium glandulosum n-butanol extraction site(CGE) on the disease in carbon tetrachloride(CCl_4)-induced chronic liver injury model in rats. A chronic liver injury model was constructed by subcutaneous injection of CCl_4 olive oil solution, and after four weeks of CGE treatment, serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase(AST), alanine aminotransferase(ALT), alkaline phosphatase(AKP), hydroxyproline(HYP), interleukin-4(IL-4), interleukin-6(IL-6), malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were detected. Liver tissue was processed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining and Masson staining to observe the structure of the rat liver.

Outcomes of COVID-19 Patients Hospitalized at Acute Care Services: Real-World Experience in the New York Metropolitan Area During the Early Pandemic Before Initiation of Clinical Trials.

Unlabelled: As New York became the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic early on, clinicians were challenged to provide optimal medical and pharmaceutical care, despite the paucity of supporting literature and guidance. We sought to describe prescribing patterns and outcomes of physician response to the urgent need to treat COVID-19 patients before initiation of randomized clinical trials.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with COVID-19 initially admitted to acute care services during March 2020.

Complete mitochondrial genome of the radicine pond snail (Gastropoda: Lymnaeidae).

is broadly distributed in China, as well as Russia. It is one of the intermediate hosts of species which leads to the spread of fascioliasis. Here, we first described the complete mitochondrial genome of .

Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) Analysis of the Volatile Oil of Cichorium Glandulosum Boiss et Huet and its Effects on Carbon Tetrachloride-Induced Liver Fibrosis in Rats.

BACKGROUND This study aimed to use gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to identify the chemical constituents of volatile oil extracted by steam distillation from Cichorium glandulosum Boiss et Huet (CG), a traditional Uyghur medicine, and to investigate its effects on carbon tetrachloride (CClâ‚„)-induced hepatic fibrosis in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats (n=60) included six groups: the control group (n=10), untreated model group (n=10), the volatile oil of CG high-dose group (0.15 ml/kg) (n=10), the volatile oil of CG medium-dose group (0.

[Role of transient receptor potential melastatin 8 channels in migraine mechanism in rats].

Objective: To investigate the role of transient receptor potential melastatin 8 (TRPM8) channels in migraine mechanism in rats by measuring the changes in expression of TRPM8 in the trigeminal nerve of rats with migraine.

Methods: Twenty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly and equally divided into a blank control group and a model group. Nitroglycerin (10 mg/kg) was injected subcutaneously in the back of the neck once a week for 5 weeks, to prepared a rat model of migraine without aura.

The dissipation rates of trichlorfon and its degradation product dichlorvos in cabbage and soil.

The residual levels and dissipation rate of trichlorfon, and its degradation product, dichlorvos, in cabbage crops and the soil in which these were grown, were determined by gas chromatography at two geographically distant experimental sites, one in Kunming and one in Beijing, China. Trichlorfon was applied at two dosages (900 g ai ha(-1) and 1350 g ai ha(-1)). Maximum final residues of trichlorfon in soil and cabbage were 1.

Photodegradation of flumorph in aqueous solutions and natural water under abiotic conditions.

Flumorph is an oomycete fungicide that is now used extensively in China (Hu, J. Y.; Liu, C.

[Automated classification of celestial spectra based on support vector machines].

The main objective of an automatic recognition system of celestial objects via their spectra is to classify celestial spectra and estimate physical parameters automatically. This paper proposes a new automatic classification method based on support vector machines to separate non-active objects from active objects via their spectra. With low SNR and unknown red-shift value, it is difficult to extract true spectral lines, and as a result, active objects can not be determined by finding strong spectral lines and the spectral classification between non-active and active objects becomes difficult.

[Analysis of the abnormal chromosome karyotype in habitual abortion].

An analysis was made of the chromosome karyotype from the peripheral blood taken from a couple who had experienced consecutive abortions for four times. The karyoype was determined as Rob(13;21) through G-band and high resolving power.

[A PCA based efficient stellar spectra classification method].

Stellar spectra classification is an indispensable part of any workable automated recognition system of celestial bodies. This paper introduces an efficient method of automated classification of stellar spectra based on the principal component analysis (PCA). The method consists of two parts.
