Introduction Accepting gifts from pharmaceutical sales representatives (sales reps) or meeting them is correlated with excessive, more expensive and sometimes less rational prescribing.French general practitioners (GPs) tend to hold an unfavorable opinion of the pharmaceutical industry, yet the behavior they adopt with sales reps is generally favor
This paper presents a 9-D memristor-coupled system with three ideal memristors and investigates its initial effects on synchronization using dimensionality reduction analysis method.The 9-D memristor-coupled system is yielded from two identical 4-D ideal memristor-based hyper-jerk systems via coupling an ideal memristor, from which the initials-dep

Proteostasis encompasses a homeostatic cellular network in all cells that maintains the integrity of the proteome, which is critical for optimal cellular function.The components of the proteostasis network include protein synthesis, folding, trafficking, and degradation.Cardiac myocytes have a specialized endoplasmic reticulum (ER) called the sarco
Abstract Background Alteration of the gut microbiota may contribute to the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a major bioactive constituent of green tea, is known to be beneficial in IBD alleviation.However, it is unclear whether the gut microbiota exerts an effect when EGCG attenuates IBD.Results We
