Comparison of Chayote ( (Jacq.) Sw.) Accessions from Mexico, Japan, and Myanmar Using Reproductive Characters and Microsatellite Markers.

Promoting neglected and underutilized crop species is a possible solution to deal with the complex challenges of global food security. Chayote is a Neglected and Underutilized Cucurbit Species (NUCuS), which is recognized as a fruit vegetable in Latin America and is widely grown in Asia and Africa. However, basic biological knowledge about the crop is insufficient in scientific sources, especially outside of its center of origin.

Numerical Study Using Microstructure Based Finite Element Modeling of the Onset of Convective Heat Transfer in Closed-Cell Polymeric Foam.

The thermal performance of closed-cell foams as an insulation device depends on the thermal conductivity. In these systems, the heat transfer mode associated with the convective contribution is generally ignored, and studies are based on the thermo-physical properties that emerge from the conductive contribution, while others include a term for radiative transport. The criterion found in the literature for disregarding convective heat flux is the cell diameter; however, the cell size for which convection is effectively suppressed has not been clearly disclosed, and it is variously quoted in the range 3-10 mm.

Observational Safety Study of Clottafact Fibrinogen Concentrate: Real-World Data in Mexico.

Background And Objective: The use of fibrinogen concentrate to treat or prevent major bleeding with regard to potential adverse reactions has not been free of controversy. Our objective was to perform a post-authorization safety study to describe the use of Clottafact (LFB Biomedicaments) fibrinogen concentrate in real-life medical practice in Mexico.

Methods: This was a prospective, observational study that collected and evaluated information between January 2017 and June 2019 related to suspected serious adverse reactions (SUSARs) during and after Clottafact infusion.

Antineoplastic activity of the thiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline derivative D3CLP in K-562 cells is mediated through effector caspases activation.

Thiazolo[5,4-b]quinolines are compounds structurally related to m-Amsacrine (m-Amsa), a potent antileukemic drug that intercalates to DNA and inhibits topoisomerase II in vitro inducing cell death. The clinical use of m-Amsa and other neoplastic drugs is limited due to side effects and drug resistance. In the present study we evaluated one thiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline derivate, 9-[(3-chloro)phenylamine]-2-[3-(diethylamine)propylamine]thiazolo[5,4-b]quinoline (D3CLP), considered isosteric with 9-anilinoacridines, in order to determine its relative cytotoxic activity in tumoral versus non-tumoral cells, as well as the cell death mechanism induced by D3CLP on K-562 human leukemia cells.
