Structural changes of the amygdala subnuclei and limbic white matter tracts in healthy aging and major depressive disorder
DownloadFall 2019
The world population is dramatically aging. Several factors affect brain in healthy aging. The apolipoprotein E (APOE), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) might be involved in neurodegenerative diseases, depression and cognitive decline in healthy...

Depression of Lead-activated Sphalerite by Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate for Red Dog Mine Operation
DownloadSpring 2019
The inadvertent activation of sphalerite by lead ions have been noticed and studied for decades. In this study, flotation behavior of sphalerite upon lead activation was studied. Sodium hydrogen phosphate was applied as a main depressant to test its effect on improving Pb-Zn selectivity. Surface...

Hippocampal neuroplasticity and neurogenesis in major depressive disorder: a high field MRI study
DownloadFall 2012
The hippocampus is a brain structure responsible for memory, learning, and the stress response; it is also used as a model for major depressive disorder (MDD) in preclinical studies. Preclinical models have shown that the hippocampal subfields are differentially affected by chronic stress....

Structure-Affinity Relationship Study of Novel Imidazoline Ligands at Imidazoline Binding Sites and α-Adrenoceptors
DownloadFall 2014
Many drugs containing an imidazoline moiety are thought to bind to both imidazoline binding sites (IBS) and α-adrenoceptors (α-AR) to mediate their therapeutic effects. To aid in better characterisation of these binding sites, the structure-affinity relationships of several new series of...
