In recent years, sarcopenia began to receive
attention. Not only the elderly, hyperthyroidism patients also suffer from
sarcopenia. The purpose of this study is to explore the relevant factors for
sarcopenia in hyperthyroidism patients. [Methods]: Dual energy X-ray was used to detect the muscle mass
in 101 hyperthyroidism patients (23 males and 78 females, mean age 45.77 ± 15.02 years), and calculate SMI. Pearson correlation analy ...

The
aim of this experiment is to search best concentration of GA and appropriate
duration (soaking hour) as well as to find out best interaction between best
concentration and best soaking duration. Soaking the seeds with 10 -5 M GA for 8 h is best for growth and development of
sunflower cv. PAC 3776. Surface sterilized seeds sunflowers ( Helianthus annus L.) were soaked in 0, 10 -7, 10 -5 and 10 -3 M aqueo...
