The effect of osteoprotegerin gene modification on wear debris-induced osteolysis in a murine model of knee prosthesis failure
(Elsevier, 2009-10)Using an in vivo adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated gene transfer technique, this study evaluated the therapeutic effects of an osteoprotegerin (OPG) transgene against orthopaedic wear debris-induced osteolysis in a ... -
Effect of porosity and pore size on microstructures and mechanical properties of poly-epsilon-caprolactone- hydroxyapatite composites
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2008-03)The influence of variant pore-size and porosity on the microstructure and the mechanical properties of poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) and hydroxyapatite (HA) composite were examined for an optimal scaffold in bone tissue ... -
Effect of Scutellarin inhibits collagen-induced arthritis through TLR4/NF-kappa B-mediated inflammation
(D.A. Spandidos, 2017-10)Scutellarin is the major effective constituent of the commonly used Chinese medicine Erigeron breviscapus. It has been applied in the clinic to treat various diseases, and is characterized by high content, a stable source, ... -
Effect of soil heterogeneity and endogenous processes on plant spatial structure
(John Wiley and Sons, 2016-07-22)Within communities, organisms potentially self-organize through endogenous processes that create nonrandom spatial structure as they interact with one another or modify the abiotic environment. In contrast, exogenous ... -
Effects of apical meristem mining on plant fitness, architecture, and flowering phenology in Cirsium altissimum (Asteraceae)
(American Journal of Botany, Inc., 2014-12)Premise of the study: Interactions that limit lifetime seed production have the potential to limit plant population sizes and drive adaptation through natural selection. Effects of insect herbivory to apical meristems ... -
The effects of carbon dioxide and temperature on microRNA expression in Arabidopsis development
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013-07)Elevated levels of CO2 and temperature can both affect plant growth and development, but the signalling pathways regulating these processes are still obscure. MicroRNAs function to silence gene expression, and environmental ... -
The effects of epidural application of allografted nucleus pulposus in rats on cytokine expression, limb withdrawal and nerve root discharge
(Springer-Verlag, 2005-12-14)This study investigated cytokine expression, behavioral and neurophysiologic changes in Lewis rats whose lumbar nerve roots were exposed to nucleus pulposus (NP). Allografted NP or fat was implanted over the left L5 nerve ... -
Effects of hypoxia on proliferation and apoptosis of osteosarcoma cells
(International Institute of Anticancer Research, 2021-09-30)Background: Hypoxia can happen during solid tumor growth including osteosarcoma. This study investigated the relationship of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on osteosarcoma ... -
Effects of neonatal administration of diethylstilbestrol in male hamsters: disruption of reproductive function in adults after apparently normal pubertal development
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, 1998-01)Prenatal and neonatal exposure to natural and synthetic estrogens induces developmental abnormalities in the male and female reproductive systems in several species. In hamsters, a single injection of diethylstilbestrol ... -
Effects of nitrogen and phosphorus limitation on lipid accumulation by Chlorella kessleri str. UTEX 263 grown in darkness
(Springer, 2020-06-08)Growing algae in darkness for biodiesel production eliminates the challenges of evaporation and light penetration reported for open ponds and the costs and fouling that plague photobioreactors. The current study demonstrated ... -
Effects of sublethal concentrations of atrazine and nitrate on metamorphosis of the African clawed frog
(John Wiley & Sons, 2003-03)Tadpoles of the African clawed frog (Xenopus laevis) were exposed to sublethal concentrations of atrazine (0, 40, and 320 microg/L) and nitrate (0, 37, and 292 mg/L) from feeding stage to metamorphosis. A 3 x 3 factorial ... -
Effects of temperature on the toxicity of m-parathion, chlorpyrifos, and pentachlorobenzene to Chironomus tentans
(Springer New York, 1999-11)This study examined the influence of temperature (10, 20, and 30 degrees C) on the acute toxicity and accumulation of two organophosphate (OP) insecticides and a narcotic chemical to the midge (Chironomus tentans). OP ... -
Effects of Ti, PMMA, UHMWPE, and Co-Cr wear particles on differentiation and functions of bone marrow stromal cells
(John Wiley and Sons, 2013-10)This study investigates the roles of orthopedic biomaterial particles [Ti-alloy, poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA), ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), Co-Cr alloy] on the differentiation and functions of bone ... -
Effects of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) on plants, plant populations and communities: A Review
(The University of Notre Dame, 2001-07)Large effects of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) upon individual plants, plant populations and communities have been documented in a number of studies. However, well-supported experimental measures of the ... -
