According to the United States Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), drug abusers favor short and intermediate-acting barbiturates. Barbiturate users often refer to the pills they take in terms of the color of the capsule. These street names include blues or blue devils for Amytal reds, red birds and red devils for Seconal yellow jackets for Nembutal purple hearts for Luminal and rainbows and Christmas trees for Tuinal. 

It s Not Only This - If the previous theme looked behind what happened, this one looks all around it. Through a process of free association, statements conveyed that the problem is not just the Mods and Rockers but a whole pattern in which pregnant schoolgirls, CND marches, beatniks, long hair, contraceptives in slot machines, purple hearts and smashing up telephone kiosks were all inextricably intertwined. One must orient oneself not just to an incident, a type of behaviour or even a type of person, but to a whole spectrum of problems and aberrations. 

Digitoxigenin is a heart stimulant obtained from the purple foxglove Digitalis purpurea and used in the treatment of heart disease. Draw the three-dimensional conformation of digitoxigenin, and identify the two —OH groups as axial or equatorial. 

Ethanol and choline glycerolipids were isolated from calf brain and beef heart lipids by PTLC using silica gel H plates. Pure ethanol amine and choline plasmalogens were obtained with a yield of 80% [74]. Four phosphohpid components in the purple membrane (Bacteriorhodopsin) of Halobacterium halobium were isolated and identified by PTLC. Separated phosphohpids were add-hydrolyzed and further analyzed by GC. Silica gel G pates were used to fractionate alkylglycerol according to the number of carbon atoms in the aliphatic moiety [24]. Sterol esters, wax esters, free sterols, and polar lipids in dogskin hpids were separated by PTLC. The fatty acid composition of each group was determined by GC. 

Digoxin Steroid Increases heart muscle contraction Digitalis purpurea (purple foxglove)... 

This formula can rescue the Yang from collapse and tonify the Qi. It is used to treat severe Yang deficiency of the Kidney, Spleen and Heart, and accumulations of cold in the body. The symptoms are extremely cold extremities, an exhausted state with a constant desire to sleep, vomiting, diarrhea with undigested food particles, abdominal pain and cold, severe chills, purple color of nails and lips, a pale tongue with a white coating, and a weak and deep pulse. 

When the Heart-Qi is too weak to stimulate the blood circulation, the color of the tongue turns to purple and the pulse does not flow freely. 

Since the blood cannot circulate smoothly, a choppy pulse can be felt, and a purple tongue with purple spots can be observed, especially on the tip or border, the region of the Heart and Liver. 

The congealed blood can also be formed by Qi disturbance of the internal organs and by chronic illness. It can block the Heart and cause stubborn pain, restlessness and palpitations. In this case, a purple tongue and a choppy pulse are present. 

These herbs are warm and pungent, and enter the Heart and Liver meridians. They can invigorate the blood and promote blood circulation. They are used for treating chronic Bi syndrome that is characterized by stubborn pain, numbness, and cold, weak and stiff limbs. They can also be selected to treat chronic skin disorders when the skin lesions are purple, dark in color, itchy, dry and thick. 

Features Stout stems with wide spreading branches carrying alternately fleshy, heart-shaped leaves. The purple flowers bloom luxuriously in July and August, and the bristly burs or bracts adhere lightly to the clothes and coats of animals. The root is thick, brownish-grey externally, whitish inside. Roots and seeds have a sweetish, slimy taste, the leaves and stems being bitter. 

He was usually a pale man, liverish, but he went a shade of purple and said I should consider and it wasn t decent and I was not in my right mind, but I said that if he refused, I would withdraw his stipend, so he said I must get her consent, stipend or no. The little room was fetid now and the poor girl weaker still, hardly making a sound when the pain took her, and I found myself praying with all my heart and soul that the baby be spared at least, prayer being in this case entirely apposite and a form of incantation, as over the Stone. Then I sat beside her and spoke to her over and over again about the baby and how she could make it safe if she married me, and I said her name and put my face close to hers, and suddenly she opened her eyes and they were very clear and calm, and I swear she nodded her head. 

An artificial system was created to elegantly demonstrate the basic principle of the chemiosmotic hypothesis. Synthetic vesicles containing bacteriorhodopsin, a purple-membrane protein from halobacteria that pumps protons when illuminated, and mitochondrial ATP synthase purified from beef heart were created (Figure 18.26). When the vesicles were exposed to light, ATP was formed. This key experiment clearly showed that the respiratory chain and ATP synthase are biochemically separate systems, linked only by a proton-motive force. 

Fig. 19 Nitroblue tetrazolium stained heart sections of rabbits with acute myocardial infarction treated with PL (left panel), saline placebo (middle panel) and IL (right panel). The sites of left circumflex coronary artery occlusion can be seen in the middle and right panels to be at the 4th slices by the presence of the silk sutures. Normal myocardium is stained purple or brown, whereas the infarcted regions remain as light colored regions.
