Manothermosonication (MTS) and pH-shifting combined treatment for modifying the functional properties of plant proteins: protein-stabilized nanocarriers and protection of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)
… (DHA). In study one, a new physical and chemical combined treatment for protein modification, i.e. mano-thermo-sonication (MTS) with and without pH-shifting was developed. This method was tested using soy protein isolate (SPI) as a model protein. The soluble soy protein nano-aggregates produced by …

Quercetin and chloroquine synergistically induces cell death in glioma cells via the increase of Ca2+ and ROS levels
… approaches are needed for more effective treatment of malignant gliomas. We show herein that quercetin, a flavonoid, and chloroquine (CQ), an antimalarial drug, synergistically induce caspase-mediated apoptosis in T98G cells. Combined treatment with quercetin and CQ accumulated …

The Effects of Self-Monitoring and Relaxation Training on Blood Pressure and Other Related Behaviors In Essential Hypertension.
… the effects on blood pressure of two behavioral treatments, self-monitoring alone and self-monitoring combined with relaxation training. The effects of treatments on heart rate, frontalis EMG, respiration and self-reports of tension (SUDS) were also investigated. Finally, changes in the accuracy …

Nutlin-3 sensitizes cancer cells to bortezomib via induction of paraptosis-associated cell death
… cancer cells to bortezomib. While bortezomib treatment did not markedly alter cellular morphologies, nutlin-3 treatment induced mitochondrial dilation without induction of cell death. Alternatively, combined treatment with bortezomib and nutlin-3 effectively induced cell death, which was …

Landfill leachate treatment by combination of electro - fenton and sequencing batch reactor method
… to effect of soil, surface and groundwater. The combined treatment offers an alternative technique in dealing to leachate treatment. This research is to determine the effectiveness of combined electro-Fenton and sequencing batch reactor (SBR) method on the removal of SS, colour, COD and NH3-N. …

Loperamide enhances bortezomib-mediated cell death in colon cancer cells
… 2. Intracellular Ca2+ influx is involved in the combined treatment-induced vacuolation 27 3. Combined treatment with loperamide and bortezomib induces ER stress, and CHOP is critically involved in the cell death by loperamide plus bortezomib 33 4. ROS generation is important for the cell death …

Mechanistic study on the therapeutic strategy to enhance glioma cell death through inhibition of proteasome and lysosome
… remain largely incurable despite multimodal treatments including surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Thus, the researchers are currently attempting to develop novel therapeutic strategies for malignant gliomas. Recent studies show that dysregulation of protein maintenance has …

Effectiveness of single and combined treatments on biomechanical and clinical outcomes during walking in healthy individuals and individuals with knee osteoarthritis
… Lateral wedge insoles (LWI) are a conservative treatment that aims to reduce the knee loading (External knee adduction moment (EKAM), which is increased in individuals with knee OA compared to healthy individuals. Although, LWI reduce EKAM in individuals with knee OA, no significant difference …

Evaluation of Anti-cancer effect of a Novel Formulation from Umbilical Cord Blood Stem CellDerived Exosomes and Retinoic acid as a potential therapeutic candidate against Malignant Melanoma
… of RA and CBSC-derived exosomes, either alone or combined, on lymphocytes from healthy individuals and melanoma patients and on the CHL-1 and FM55 melanoma cell lines. The optimal doses were identified as 10 µM for RA and 120 µl of 107 particles/ml for CBSC-derived exosomes. Both doses …

Interactions and epidemiology of nematode worm control in livestock
… relies heavily upon anthelmintics for the treatment of parasitic nematode diseases. This has resulted in widespread resistance to multiple anthelmintic classes across several parasitic genera. In response to this spread in resistance and subsequent decrease in efficacy there has been …

Causal Inference Methods for Estimation of Survival and General Health Status Measures of Alzheimer’s Disease Patients
<p>Identifying optimal treatment options with respect to survival of Alzheimer's disease patients is crucially important and previously uninvestigated research question. Our objective was to estimate the causal effects of the most prevalent classes of Alzheimer’s disease drugs, Donepezil and …

The Talking Hands?: The Relation between Gesture and Language in Aphasic Patients
… gesture may cue naming and may be a potential treatment approach in aphasia rehabilitation. The second study explored treatment efficacy of three approaches in aphasia rehabilitation – the Gesture-based, the Language-based, and the Combined approach, aiming to understand the effects elicited …

A comparison of two forms of treatment for children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: effects on executive functioning and behaviour
… including psychostimulants and multimodal treatments (medication and behavioural therapy). Whilst the short term efficacy of these treatments is supported, there is a relative absence of convincing empirical evidence to support long term treatment in improving behaviour and cognition. …

Effect of Combination of Aspirin and TRAIL in HeLa Cervical Cancer Cells
… to TRAIL. In this study, I studied whether pretreatment by aspirin augmented TRAIL-induced apoptotic death in HeLa cells, which derived from cervical cancer and investigated the underlying mechanism. Methods: Cell viability and proliferation were assessed by MTT assay and cytotoxicity was …

Interactions of insecticides, entomopathogenic fungi, and earthworms as they relate to white grub IPM in turfgrass systems
… I investigate the following: 1) the efficacy of combined applications of the EPF, M. brunneum and B. bassiana with lower rates of imidacloprid or the diamide insecticide, chlorantraniliprole against white grubs; 2) interactions of earthworms with white grubs and EPF; and 3) the effect of white …

Does one plus one make two? Investigation of pharmacological effects and cortical injury on the developing brain
This thesis examined how pharmacological treatment and cortical injury during development affects brain plasticity. Rats were given either a low dose of perinatal fluoxetine or a mild postnatal day 7 Hypoxic‐Ischemic (HI) injury, both, or neither. The functional outcome was assessed using a series …
