Abstract Background Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are known mediators of cellular damage in multiple diseases including diabetic complications. Despite its importance‚ no comprehensive database is currently available for the genes associated with ROS. Methods We present ROS- and diabetes-related targets (genes/proteins) collected from the biomedical literature through a text mining technology. A web-based literature mining tool‚ SciMiner‚ was applied to 1‚154 biomedical papers indexed with

Give examples and balanced equations for each.Explain each in detail. 5. Name the methods of preparation of hydrogen by various ways. 6. Give balanced equations for the preparation of hydrogen with any three acids‚alkalis 7. Why is nitric acid not used in the preparation of hydrogen from metals? 8. Why cannot lead be used in the preparation of hydrogen using

1) Demonstrate understanding of the terms atom and molecule. Atom= Smallest Unit of Matter Molecule= 2 or more atoms chemically bonded. 2) Describe paper chromatography. 3) Interpret simple chromatograms. A method used to separate a Solution‚ using a Paper and a beaker of water. The Substances in the Paper go up depending on their Mass. We can say that a Solution has the same substance as another solution because they form a line of the same height. 4) Describe methods of separation

d XIV. Vasodilator * From the Latin words "vasa‚" which means "vessel‚" and "dilate‚" which means "to make wider.“ * Work by relaxing the smooth muscles that line the walls of blood vessels -- causing the blood vessels to increase in diameter and allow blood to flow through more easily. * Vasodilators also increases plasma rennin concentration resulting in sodium and water retention but these undesirable side effects can be blocked by concominant use of a diuretic and a beta blocker.

This was achieved by evaluating the effect of CUR NP on the levels of oxidative stress parameters (lipid peroxidation‚ nitric oxide and reduced glutathione)‚ caspase-3 and tumor necrosis factor-α and the activities of acetylcholinesterase and Na+‚ K+-ATPase in the cerebral cortex of CP-treated rats. The present study also extended to investigate the effect of CUR NP on the

IONIC COMPOUNDS In chemistry‚ an ionic compound is a chemical compound in which ions are held together in a lattice structure by ionic bonds. Usually‚ the positively charged portion consists of metal cations and the negatively charged portion is an anion or polyatomic ion. Ions in ionic compounds are held together by the electrostatic forcesbetween oppositely charged bodies. Ionic compounds have high melting and boiling points‚ and they are hard and very brittle. Ions can be single atoms‚ as the sodium and chlorine in

stage is its subsequent oxidation to adipic acid with an excess of strong nitric acid in the presence of copper and vanadium catalysts. Only 3-8 % conversion of cyclohexane is obtained in the first step. Recycling of the large amount of cyclohexane unreacted and separation of cyclohexanol and cyclohexanone from cyclohexane present major problems. In the second step the highly corrosive nature of nitric acid and the nitrous oxide gas produced create reactor material issues and serious environmental problems

CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION/LITERATURE REVIEW THE ERYTHROCYTES A cell that contains haemoglobin and can carry oxygen to the body. Also called a red blood cell (RBC). The reddish colour is due to haemoglobin. Erythrocytes are biconcave in shape which increases the cells surface area and facilitates the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. This shape is maintained by a cytoskeleton composed of several proteins. Erythrocytes

was dissolved in nitric acid and the resulting Copper(I) nitrate converted into CuO by ignition. The weight of CuO that was formed was 1.476g. Show that these results illustrate the law of constant proportions. 4. Carbon and oxygen are known to form two compounds. The carbon content in one of these is 42.9% while in the other is 27.3%. Show that this data is in agreement with the law of multiple proportions. 5. On analysis‚ it was found that black oxide of copper and red oxide of copper contained
