PHARMACOLOGICAL MODULATION OF SARCOPLASMIC RETICULUM CALCIUM ATPASE AND CALCIUM RELEASE CHANNELS FOR MUSCLE CELL PROTECTIVE ACTION
… Copello’s group has previously studied the cardioprotective agent CGP-37157 (CGP), a benzothiazepine (BZT) derivative of the benzodiazepine (BZD) clonazepam. CGP was previously thought to decrease intracellular SR Ca2+ by acting as a blocker of the mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ exchanger (Omelchenko et …

Public relations, preparedness, and the transportation disadvantaged in a post-disaster environment
… two ways. First, drawing from the ideas in the Protective Action Decision Model, I interviewed the transportation disadvantaged in New Orleans to determine whether they were receiving the message of the campaign, paying attention to it, and comprehending it. I also interviewed them to learn if …

Studies on the mechanisms of action of the herbicide safener CGA- 92194
… phytotoxic effects and the mechanisms of the protective action of this safener were studied in laboratory experiments. Adverse phytotoxicity was assessed by comparing CGA-92194 and the herbicide safeners cyometrinil {(Z)-α[(cyanomethoxy)imino]benzeneacetonitrile} and flurazole [phenylmethyl …

Application of quality control and other statistical methods to the precision wood industry
… profitable to 3-ply chests of various sizes as a protective action against returned chests. An experiment was designed to estimate the effects of high humidity conditions on the rupture of the corners of cedar chests having different panel constructions, corner constructions, and glue treatments. …

MIR-181A/B INHIBITION AS A NEW STRATEGY FOR MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASE TREATMENT
… has recently been demonstrated to exert a protective action on different MD models associated with neuronal degeneration. This study further investigates the effects of miR-181a/b inhibition in MD contexts and evaluates the feasibility of translating this approach into clinical applications …

Effects of drugs which alter blood cell deformability in circulatory shock produced by endotoxin
… died. Vasodilator agents are known to have a protective action in circulatory shock. In the present study, the hypotensive effect produced by aminophylline was comparable to that produced by protective doses of the other agents. The difference in protective efficacy therefore was not related …

Breast Cancer Inhibition by Grape Constituents
… antioxidant, antiproliferative, and proapoptotic actions. To determine the potential breast cancer protective action of purple grape juice, we examined the effect of grape juice consumption on the initiation stage of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced rat mammary tumorigenesis and on …

Facing natural hazards: uncertain and intertemporal elements of choosing shore protection along the Great Lakes
… phenomena helped explain the choice to take protective action. Using a market rate for discounting in the BCA can provide inaccurate benefit estimates. Observed time preference rates may provide a better measure. Subsidized hazard insurance has been suggested to encourage self protection. …

Characterizing the role of trusted sources for smoke risk communication in tribal and non-tribal rural communities in the Okanogan River Airshed Emphasis Area
… to spread awareness of and motivate taking protective action against the health risks of wildfire smoke exposure. Delivery through a trusted source or intermediary has been shown to improve reception of risk communication messages. This is especially salient in rural and tribal communities, …

BISMUTH-FUNCTIONALIZED SORBENTS FOR RADIOIODINE CAPTURE
… to free standing nanoparticles, suggesting the protective action of surrounding xerogel. After aging, 82 mass% of the Bi-NPs were converted to Bi2O3 with only a small amount of iodine captured as BiOI (18 mass%). After aging TEO-5 for 3 h, iodine was captured as both BiI3 (26%) and BiOI (74%) …

Study of antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of new materials for development of active food packaging
… and the DEP-Raman system, revealing a rapid interaction with the bacteria but not significant bactericidal effects. Thus, CNP were loaded with an antimicrobial peptide which increased their antibacterial activity, especially against S. aureus. Finally, new antioxidant packaging modified with grape …
