potassium acrylate

an old molecule discovered twenty years ago, which had not found any particular application. The thing seems a bit unreal, almost esoteric. The physical vehicle that leads to solidification of H2O is sensitive to ether acrylate , potassium solidify the liquid element allows white powder . It does instantly. How it solidifies or how water is? As a kind of hard gelatin not wetted. An aggregate microcantillos due to the action of an acrylic polymer , that imprisons the water, prevents it from spreading throughout. For agricultural use during droughts. Imagine that there is a land that was once a forest that was deforested, which is now no more than a poor ground without much productive use, and if it remains so slowly erode, without changing climatic conditions. The silo water is the most advanced system there for irrigation of agricultural crops and forestry. It is the most modern, economical and efficient in terms of rational use of water method, because it can save up to 90 pe

tau protein

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a growing problem in the medical, psychiatric, neurological, epidemiological, social and economic order, particularly in countries with a high life expectancy Alzheimer's dementia can be classified according to the age of onset in presenile or early onset, which appears before age 65 and senile or late onset, ie onset after age 65. It according to the presence or absence of a family history of the disease is classified into familial AD and sporadic AD, respectively. However, these classifications are not mutually exclusive. The development achieved by genetic has demonstrated the involvement of several chromosomes in the development of the disease. Chromosomes 1, 14 and 21 are associated with familial forms of start precoz. While late onset forms appear linked to chromosomes 12 and 19 In this paper we delved into the study of chromosome 21 and the amyloid beta protein , because there are many findings that relate to deposit excess am

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) , also known as delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, is the main psychoactive constituent of cannabis. What first they isolated in 1964 Raphael Mechoulam and Yechiel Gaoni, when pure, is a glassy solid at low temperatures, and becomes viscous and sticky when heated. THC is poorly soluble in water, but dissolves readily in most organic solvents, specifically lipids and alcohols . As most pharmacologically active secondary metabolites of plants, it is believed that THC cannabis is involved in the defense mechanism of the plant, perhaps against herbivores,  but now still unknown. THC also possesses high absorption properties UV-B (280-315 nm) ; it has been speculated that it could protect the plant from harmful UV radiation exposure. Its pharmacological effects are the result of its relationship with cannabinol specific receptors located in the brain and throughout the body. The pharmacological actions of THC partially result from their agonist activity at the

holy basil

holy basil (Ocimum sanctum) is an herb that's Been grown in India for 5,000 years. It's a mainstay of the ancient Ayurvedic healing tradition and is one of India's Most sacred plants. Also it goes by the name tulsi Which means "the unique one. in Ayurvedic medicine, holy basil is Considered an "elixir of life" that Promotes longevity and is used to treat a wide variety of ailments. It was used by the ancient Also Greeks and Romans. There is an uncommonly long list of traditional use for esta healing herb. It's been used to alleviate arthritis, asthma, bronchitis, coughs, colds, sore throats, digestive complaints, earaches, headaches, fever, influenza, and skin problems. It has-been used as a remedy for common childhood complaints and illnesses Such as coughs, colds, fever, diarrhea, vomiting, and chicken pox. It has even used to treat Been scorpion and snake bites. By examining the single components of holy basil, scientists are now beginning to Underst

antioxidants

Flavonoids comprise a group of polyphenolic compounds widely distributed in fruits and vegetables, as well as in black tea, coffee, cocoa, beer and wine rojo.1-3 may occur from simple phenolic compounds molecules to very polymerised higher than 30,000 Da molecular weight. There is a consensus that the antioxidant activity of flavonoids results from a combination of its iron chelating and sequestering properties of free radicals (RL). Other authors also refer to inhibition of oxidases such as lipoxygenase (LO), cyclooxygenase (CO), myeloperoxidase (MPO), NADPH oxidase and xanthine oxidase (XO); preventing the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vivo, as well as organic hydroperoxides. ROS react with biomolecules leading to cellular and tissue damage. Fortunately, the body has effective mechanisms to protect themselves from the harmful effects of these chemical species. These mechanisms consist of enzymes and nonenzymatic compounds such as glutathione (GSH), ascorbic acid, a

linoleic acid

The fatty acids are important components of the diet of the higher animals and man. Are not only significant energy contribution almost double the contribution of carbohydrates and proteins, and several have specific metabolic functions. The structure of the double bonds (unsaturated) of natural fatty acids follows a pattern very characteristic and preserved. In a diunsaturated fatty acid, both double bonds will always separated by an intermediate carbon not involved in the structure of unsaturation. Linoleic acid is a very abundant in the plant kingdom and the animal essential fatty acid omega-6 . The vast majority of vegetable oils (with some exceptions such as olive oil, palm oil or coconut oil) provide significant amounts of linoleic acid. is in a very small proportion in grains and forage constituting the feeding of ruminants, these animals means that transform linoleic acid in any of the isomers of CLA . Is powerful reducing environment in the rumen biohydrogenation process

Substance P

Substance P is the first neuroactive substance that is proposed as a neurotransmitter. As for the pharmacological properties of substance P, they were demonstrated to check exhibiting potent hypotensive properties that were not blocked by atropine. He was later identified as the first active neuropeptide and was proposed as a neurotransmitter. In the 70s the structure is now known to contain eleven amino acids, of which six corresponding to the C-terminus are essential for its biological activity was determined. Substance P (SP) is a neuropeptide of eleven amino acids, are much smaller than other neurotransmitters amounts, is synthesized in the cell body and transported along the axon to the terminals, it is synthesized as part of a prepropeptide ( preproteins or precursors) of higher molecular weight which then moves to the cisterns of the endoplasmic reticulum, where it is disintegrated to produce a proprotein. The proprotein is transported to the Golgi apparatus, where they may fac

ibogaine

Ibogaine is a hallucinogenic indole with putative efficacy for the treatment of cocaine , stimulant and opiate abuse. The purported efficacy of ibogaine following single dose administrations has led to the suggestion that a long-acting metabolite of ibogaine may explain in part how the drug reduces craving for psychostimulants and opiates. We report here that 12-hydroxyibogamine, a primary metabolite of ibogaine , displays high affinity for the 5-HT transporter and elevates extracellular 5-HT. In radioligand binding assays, 12-hydroxyibogamine was 50-fold more potent at displacing radioligand binding at the 5-HT transporter than at the DA transporter. Ibogaine and 12-hydroxyibogamine were equipotent at the dopamine transporter.   In vivo  microdialysis was used to evaluate the acute actions of ibogaine and 12-hydroxyibogamine on the levels of DA and 5-HT. Administration of 12-hydroxyibogamine produced a marked dose-related elevation of extracellular 5-HT. Ibogaine and 12-hydroxyib

platelets

Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) are obtained by centrifuging the blood from the same patient. It is defined as the content in platelet-shaped supernatant after centrifugation of anticoagulated blood (Dugrillon et al 2002). Platelets play a very important role in the APCs, as they are the main source of mitogenic activity in blood plasma and function as vehicle carrying growth factors (GFs), mainly transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) insulin growth factor (IGF), growth factor platelet derived (PDGF) and other proteins that modulate inflammation and scarring (Carmona and Prades 2009). Autologous platelet concentrates (APCs) are obtained by centrifuging the blood from the same patient. It is defined as the content in platelet-shaped supernatant after centrifugation of anticoagulated blood (Dugrillon et al 2002). Platelets play a very important role in the APCs, as they are the main source of mitogenic activity in blood plasma and function as vehicle carrying growth factors (GFs

Ayahuasca

Ayahuasca is a hallucinogenic beverage derived by boiling the bark of the liana Banisteriopsis caapi Malpighiaceous Together with the leaves of various plants admixture, viz. Psychotria viridis Psychotria carthagenensis, or Diplopterys cabrerana. B. caapi contains harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydroharmine while the admixtures Contain N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT). DMT, a potent hallucinogen, is inactive due to degradation by orally visceral monoamine oxidase (MAO). The β-carbolines, however, are highly active reversible inhibitors of MAO and May Protect the DMT from deamination by MAO and render it orally active. This mechanism has-been Proposed to underlie the oral activity of ayahuasca but have not Been confirmed experimentally . Levels of DMT and beta-carbolines found in ayahuasca samples examined in this study were an order of magnitude higher than the levels reported in a previous study. Ayahuasca found an extremely effective inhibitor of MAO in vitro and degree of inhibition was

virus zika

Zika, which was discovered incidentally in Uganda in 1947 in the course of mosquito and primate surveillance,  had until now remained an obscure virus confined to a narrow equatorial belt running across Africa and into Asia. . The virus circulated predominantly in wild primates and arboreal mosquitoes such as  Aedes africanus  and rarely caused recognized “spillover” infections in humans, even in highly enzootic areas.  Its current explosive pandemic reemergence is therefore truly remarkable.  Decades ago, African researchers noted that aedes-transmitted Zika epizootics inexplicably tended to follow aedes-transmitted chikungunya epizootics and epidemics. An analogous pattern began in 2013, when chikungunya spread pandemically from west to east, and Zika later followed. With the exception of West Nile virus, which is predominantly spread by culex-species mosquitoes, the arboviruses that recently reached the Western Hemisphere have been transmitted by aedes mosquitoes, especially the y

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR)

The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and molecular hybridization were used for detecting and typing human papillomavirus (HPV) in 40 patients with clinical lesions as a control group and in 20 healthy subjects, biopsies on clinically normal oral mucosa. Amplification of HPV DNA was performed using specific oligonucleotide primers: MY09 and MY11 and for typing hybridization was used in plates comprising a mixture of probes of high, intermediate and low oncogenic risk, such as types 2, 4, 6, 11, 13, 16, 18 and 32. The results demonstrated the presence of HPV viral genome in 55 percent (22/40) of benign lesions of the mouth and 10 percent (2/20) in the control group. In oral benign lesions that were positive by PCR, we observed 90.9 percent (20/22) of the type HPV low risk and 9.1 percent (2/22) of HPV and low oncogenic risk lato. In the control group it was detected 5 percent (1/20) of low-risk HPV and 5 percent (1/20) of HPV high and low oncogenic risk.

Silence helps regenerate the brain..?

Until recently it was thought that neurons could not regenerate and that our brain was sentenced to a progressive and inexorable decline. However, with the discovery of neurogenesis everything has changed, neuroscientists now focus on discovering what can promote neuronal regeneration. In this regard, a group of German researchers at the Research Center for Regenerative Therapies Dresden have discovered that silence has a huge impact on the brain. These scientists found that in the brains of mice remained silent for two hours every day growing new cells in the hippocampus, the brain region involved in memory, emotion and learning. In addition, they found that these new cells were able to differentiate and integrate into the central nervous system to fulfill different functions. Therefore, reserve a few minutes a day to be in complete silence could be very beneficial for our brain, helping to preserve the memory and to be more flexible to changes. Silence allows the brain gives meani

Dunning-Kruger syndrome

The relationship between stupidity and vanity described as the Dunning-Kruger effect, whereby people with little intellectual and cultural level systematically tend to think they know more than what they know and to be considered more intelligent than they are. The phenomenon was rigorously studied by Justin Krugger and David Dunning, psychologists at Cornell University in New York, and published in 1999 in "The Journal of Personality and Social Psychology" It is based on the following principles: 1. Incompetent individuals tend to overestimate their own abilities. 2nd. Incompetent individuals fail to recognize the true abilities in others. The advance of Krugger and Dunning was simply prove in an experiment consisting of measuring the intellectual and social skills of a number of students and ask a self-assessment later. The results were surprising and revealing: the brightest felt they were below average; mediocre considered above average, and the less gifted and mo

anthocyanins

Anthocyanins are a group of pigments red, water-soluble, colored widely distributed in the plant kingdom. chemically Anthocyanins are glycosides of anthocyanidins, is you say, are constituted by a molecule of anthocyanidin, which is the aglycone, which is joined a sugar by a glycosidic bond β-. The basic chemical structure of these aglycones is ion flavylium. also called 2-fenilbenzopirilio , Consisting of two groups aromatic: one benzopyrilium and a phenolic ring; he flavylium normally functions as a cation. The free aglycones rarely exist in food, except possibly as components trace degradation reactions. They represent the major anthocyanins soluble pigments visible to the human eye water. They belong to the group of flavonoids and structure Basic is a flavone core, which consists of two aromatic rings linked by a unity of three carbons He sugar present in the molecule gives them great solubility and stability, generally joins the anthocyanidin at the 3 pos

La  quercetina  ( f òrmula molecular:  C 15 H 10 O 7 ) es un flavonol que se encuentra presente generalmente como O - glicósidos y raramente como C - glicósidos en altas concentraciones tanto en  f rutas como en  v erduras en especial en la  c ebollas. Muchas plantas, ya sean consideradas medicinales o no, deben gran parte de sus beneficios a los altos niveles de quercetina que presentan. Por ejemplo, algunas clases de cebolla (como la roja) contienen tanta quercetina que el compuesto representa el 10% de su peso seco. . Un estudio realizado  in vitro  mostró que la quercetina y el  r evesratrolcombinados inhiben la producción de cèlulas adiposas. Quercetin (molecular formula: C15H10O7) is a flavonol that is present generally as O - glycosides and rarely as C - glycosides in high concentrations in fruit and both vegetables particularly in onions. Many plants, whether or not considered medicinal, owe much of their profits to high levels of quercetin they present. For example, som

alterations of the sex chromosomes x and y

a finales del siglo xix, los microscopistas comenzaron a notar dentro de los nùcleos de las cèlulas en interfase, se veìa una cromatina difusa y otra condensada en diferentes tamaños. A inicios del siglo xx, un citòlogo alemàn EMEL HEITZ, estudio los cromosomas y encontrò  que en las cèlulas habìan dos tipos de cromatina: la Heterocromatina y la Eucromatina la eutromatina : estaba siempre difusa en interfase y se condensaba en divisiòn cèluar,  la heterocromatina  està siempre consensada. en el año 1949, el doctor Murray Barr, investigador en neurocitologia y su alumno el dr. bertram haciendo estudios con neuronas de gatos, observaron que en algunas cèlulas aparecia uma masa de cromatina adherida a la superficie interna del nucleo y en otras no se observaba. En ese mismo año publicò un trabajo en donde relacionaba la cromatina con el sexo. se hicieron estudios en varios mamiferos, encontràndose el mismo hallazgo;  todos los animales hembras la poseian y ninguno de los machos la
