The anticonvulsant potential of methanol-extract (Fc) has been studied. It was found that Fc most active fraction is rich in oligosaccharides (OFG). H, C NMR and Nano-ESI, MALDI MS, and LC-MS techniques proved that OFG contains alpha-glucopyranoside oligomer in high amounts. Both Fc and OFG reduced strychnine (STR) convulsion-action. Fc and OFG fully protected the experimental-animals from STR-lethality. The intracerebroventricular-administration (ICV) of Fc or OFG in combination with glycine in ethanol-treated mice caused a dose-dependent returning to a 2nd-loss of righting-reflex (LORR), and was antagonized by STR. FC and OFG ICV injection counteracted STR-inhibition, confirming that Fc/OFG anticonvulsant mechanism of action was mediated by potentiation of glycine receptor. These results support Fc and OFG potential anticonvulsant-activity with good safety-profile.

The interplay between magnetic frustration and pairing is investigated by adopting a BCS-like pairing mechanism on the frustratedJ1-J2Ising model on the square lattice. The ground-state and thermal phase transitions of the model are analyzed using a fermionic formulation within a CMF method. In this approach, the lattice system is divided into identical clusters, where the intracluster dynamic is exactly solved, and the intercluster interactions are replaced by self-consistent mean fields.

This study aimed to analyze the amino acid profile, with a particular focus on the nutritional value of the protein of the (LL) and the (SM) muscles of deer originating from three feeding grounds: forest (FFG); conventional (CFG) grounds; organic farm (OFG). This is the first time that deer from an organic farm feeding ground have been included in this study. The muscles were collected from 36 deer carcasses with equal proportions of sex and 31 months of age.

Background: The neurophysiological mechanisms underlying manifestations of bulbar paralysis in acute thyrotoxic myopathy (ATM) and the afflicted brain areas are unclear.
Purpose: We used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to evaluate the regional brain activities in patients with ATM.
Material And Methods: In total, 16 patients with ATM, 16 patients with hyperthyroidism without ATM, and 16 healthy controls underwent functional MRI scans.
Offshore freshened groundwater reservoirs controlled by submarine faults with a complex dependency on antecedent hydrogeological conditions.

Offshore Freshened Groundwater (OFG) reservoirs are gaining attention, as evidence suggests they are more prevalent worldwide than previously thought. OFG systems are generally classified as either passive, a relic of ancient, lower sea levels, or as active, with an onshore-offshore hydrogeologic connection and associated discharge offshore. Previous studies on the mechanisms of OFG were conducted in various hydrogeologic settings, but the role of faults remains understudied.
