A hybrid LQP alternating direction method for solving variational inequality problems with separable structure
(
Natural Sciences Publishing Co.
, 2015 , Article)
In this paper, we presented a logarithmic-quadratic proximal alternating direction method for structured variational inequalities. The method generates the new iterate by searching the optimal step size along the descent ...
The common solutions of the split feasibility problems and fixed point problems
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2015 , Article)
An extraordinary split problem, which can be regarded as a superimposition of the split feasibility problem and the split fixed point problem, is considered. A superimposed algorithm is presented. The analysis technique ...
A new hybrid extragradient iterative method for approximating the common solutions of a system of variational inequalities, a mixed equilibrium problem, and a hierarchical fixed point problem
(

, 2013 , Article)
We suggest and analyze an iterative scheme for finding the approximate element of the common set of solutions of a system of variational inequalities, a mixed equilibrium problem, and a hierarchical fixed point problem in ...
Entropy-Like Minimization Methods Based on Modified Proximal Point Algorithm
(
University of Toronto Press Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
In this paper we introduce an extension of the proximal point algorithm proposed by Guler for solving convex minimization problems. This extension is obtained by substituting the usual quadratic proximal term by a class ...
Thymus vulgaris (Thyme) inhibits proliferation, adhesion, migration, and invasion of human colorectal cancer cells
(
Mary Ann Liebert Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most common malignancies and a leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Its prognosis remains poor for patients with several grades of this disease. This underscores the need for ...
Anti-atherosclerotic plants which modulate the phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of global death, with atherosclerosis being a major contributor to this mortality. Several mechanisms are implicated in the pathogenesis of this disease. ...
Salinomycin induces apoptosis and senescence in breast cancer: Upregulation of p21, downregulation of survivin and histone H3 and H4 hyperacetylation
(
Elsevier
, 2013 , Article)
Background
In the present study, we investigated the effect of Salinomycin on the survival of three human breast cancer cell lines MCF-7, T47D and MDA-MB-231 grown in adherent culture conditions.
Methods
Cell viability ...
Mechanisms underlying the antihypertensive effects of garlic bioactives
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2014 , Article)
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide with hypertension being a major contributing factor to cardiovascular disease–associated mortality. On a population level, non-pharmacological approaches, ...
Cyclic AMP-Rap1A signaling mediates cell surface translocation of microvascular smooth muscle α2C-adrenoceptors through the actin-binding protein filamin-2
(
American Physiological Society
, 2013 , Article)
The second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) plays a vital role in vascular physiology, including vasodilation of large blood vessels. We recently demonstrated cAMP activation of Epac-Rap1A and RhoA-Rho-associated kinase ...
Cyclic AMP-Rap1A signaling activates RhoA to induce α2c-adrenoceptor translocation to the cell surface of microvascular smooth muscle cells
(
American Physiological Society
, 2012 , Article)
Intracellular signaling by the second messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) activates the Ras-related small GTPase Rap1 through the guanine exchange factor Epac. This activation leads to effector protein interactions, activation, ...
