Progesterone and its metabolite 5 alpha-dihydroprogesterone (5 alpha-DHP) have been shown to bring about gonadotropin release in the estrogen-primed ovariectomized rat. One of the actions of progesterone is the decrease in occupied estrogen receptors (E2Rs) in the anterior pituitary and uterus. This study attempted to ... |
In Nicotiana sylvestris, a set of nicotine biosynthesis genes were activated by exogenous application of methyl jasmonate, but the activation was effectively suppressed by simultaneous treatment with ethylene. When N. sylvestris transgenic hairy roots were treated with a natural ethylene precursor, the jasmonate-respon... |
Marine radiocarbon dates, corrected for ocean‐atmosphere reservoir age offsets (R‐ages), are widely used to constrain marine chronologies. R‐ages also represent the surface boundary condition that links the ocean interior radiocarbon distribution (i.e., “radiocarbon ventilation ages”) to the ocean's large‐scale overtur... |
Basic soil properties have long been used to predict unsaturated soil hydraulic properties with pedotransfer function (PTFs). Implementation of such PTFs is usually not feasible for catchment‐scale studies because of the experimental effort that would be required. On the other hand, topographical attributes are often r... |
ATELLITES and aircraft have traditionally been the primary source of remote sensing data. The increasing number of satellite constellations |
and the improvement of the quality of airborne sensors have produced a great deal of imagery and high-precision geographic data. At present, |

BACKGROUND |
It has been suggested that mechanical bowel preparation (MBP) has no benefit in terms of anastomotic healing, infection rate, or improvement in the postoperative course in patients undergoing elective colorectal surgery, and that it should be abandoned. However, the effect of MBP on postoperative gastrointestinal motil... |
METHOD |
In total, 79 patients scheduled to undergo elective colonic resection for cancer were randomized to MBP or no-MBP groups prior to surgery. All patients ingested radiopaque markers before surgery to evaluate postoperative gastrointestinal motility, objectively evaluated by the transition of the markers at postoperative ... |
RESULTS |
There was no significant difference between the no-MBP and MBP groups in terms of perioperative and postoperative course. In the LAC subgroup, there was no significant difference between the no-MBP and MBP groups in terms of marker transition. However, in the open subgroup, there was a significant difference between th... |
CONCLUSIONS |
Our data provide additional evidence to support the abandonment of MBP in elective open colonic surgery.Modelling Occasionally Binding Constraints Using Regime-Switching |
