2,315,487 | Pharmacokinetics and systemic endocrine effects of the phyto-oestrogen 8-prenylnaringenin after single oral doses to postmenopausal women. | Pre-clinical data suggest that the racemic phyto-oestrogen 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) may have beneficial effects in postmenopausal women and may become an alternative to classical hormone replacement therapy (HRT) treatment regimes. The aim of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics, endocrine effects and to... |
2,315,488 | Use of respirometer in evaluation of process and toxicity of thermophilic anaerobic digestion for treating kitchen waste. | A thermophilic anaerobic digestion (TAnD, 55 degrees C) system was adopted to hydrolyze the kitchen waste for 3 days, which was then fermented for a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 10 days. The TAnD system performed much better than a similar system without thermal pre-treatment. A bubble respirometer was employed to... |

2,315,490 | Hydraulic residence time effects on performance of an activated sludge unit treating wastewater containing dichlorophenol. | Wastewaters containing chlorophenol compounds are difficult to treat by biological means because of the toxic effects of those compounds on microorganisms. To investigate the adverse effects of chlorophenols on microorganisms, synthetic wastewater containing 2,4 dichlorophenol (DCP) was biologically treated in an activ... |
2,315,491 | [Morphofunctional characteristics of the retina and optic nerve in endocrine ophthalmopathy]. | Optic neuropathy is a serious complication of endocrine ophthalmopathy (EOP).
