Background/Aims: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a devastating cardiovascular disease with a high rate of morbidity and mortality, partly due to enhanced arrhythmogenicity.MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been shown to participate in the regulation of cardiac ion channels and the associated arrhythmias.The purpose of this study was to test our hypothes
Nano-insecticides against the black cutworm Agrotis ipsilon (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Toxicity, development, enzyme activity, and DNA mutagenicity.
Frequent applications of synthetic insecticides might cause environmental pollution due to the high residue.In addition, increasing insecticide resistance in many insect pests requires novel pest control methods.Nanotechnology Backdrops could be a promising field of modern agriculture, and is receiving considerable attention in the development of n
Effect of doxycycline in patients of moderate to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with stable symptoms
Background: The protease-antiprotease hypothesis proposes that inflammatory cells and oxidative stress in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) produce increased levels of proteolytic enzymes (neutrophil elastase, matrix metalloproteinases [MMP]) which contribute to destruction of parenchyma resulting in progressive decline in forced expirat
