Responses to pain and other stressors are regulated by interactions between multiple brain
areas and neurochemical systems. We examined the influence of a common functional …

Background From 2003 to 2005, standardised 5-year cancer survival in China was much
lower than in developed countries and varied substantially by geographical area. Monitoring …

The endogenous opioid system is involved in stress responses, in the regulation of the
experience of pain, and in the action of analgesic opiate drugs. We examined the function of the …

Dynamic TG analysis under nitrogen was used to investigate the thermal decomposition
processes of 10 types of natural fibers commonly used in the polymer composite industry. These …

Reductions in pain ratings when administered a placebo with expected analgesic
properties have been described and hypothesized to be mediated by the pain-suppressive …

Background Human affective responses appear to be regulated by limbic and paralimbic
circuits. However, much less is known about the neurochemical systems engaged in this …

Emerging evidence has shown the association of aberrantly expressed microRNAs (miRNAs)
with tumor development and progression. However, little is known about the potential role …

Composites based on recycled high density polyethylene (RHDPE) and natural fibers were
made through melt blending and compression molding. The effects of the fibers (wood and …

Sex differences in the experience of clinical and experimental pain have been reported.
However, the neurobiological sources underlying the variability in pain responses between …

Composite panels using virgin and recycled high-density polyethylene (VHDPE and RHDPE)
and five types of natural fibers including four rice straw components (ie, rice husk, rice …
