Scutellarin combined with lidocaine exerts antineoplastic effect in human glioma associated with repression of epidermal growth factor receptor signaling. by Xiu-Ying He, Yui-Si Yang, Yue-Xiang Zheng, Qing-Jie Xia, Hong-Zhou Yu, Xiao-Ming Zhao, Ting-Hua Wang

“…<h4>Results</h4>In present study, we found that SCU and lidocaine suppressed the proliferation and migration, and induced the apoptosis of human glioma cell lines, including U251 and LN229 cells, in a dose-dependent manner in vitro. Moreover, the combination of SCU and lidocaine further restrained the proliferation and migration ability of U251 and LN229 cells, while induced their apoptosis in vitro. …”

Low-Frequency Admittance of Capacitor with Working Substance “Insulator–Partially Disordered Semiconductor– Insulator” by N. A. Poklonski, I. I. Anikeev, S. A. Vyrko

“…The partially disordered semiconductor of the working substance of the capacitor can be, for example, a highly defective crystalline silicon containing point t-defects randomly (Poissonian) distributed over the crystal in charge states (−1), (0), and (+1), between which single electrons migrate in a hopping manner. It is assumed that the electron hops occur only from t-defects in the charge state (−1) to t-defects in the charge state (0) and from t-defects in the charge state (0) to t-defects in the charge state (+1).In this work, for the first time, the averaging of the hopping diffusion coefficients over all probable electron hopping lengths via t-defects in the charge states (−1), (0) and (0), (+1) in the covalent crystal matrix was carried out. …”
