Proprioception after an acute knee ligament injury: a longitudinal study on 16 consecutive patients

Sex differences in a transgenic rat model of Huntington's disease: decreased 17 beta-estradiol levels correlate with reduced numbers of DARPP32(+) neurons in males

Modulation of granulocyte-endothelium interactions by antileukoproteinase: inhibition of anti-type II collagen antibody-induced leukocyte attachment to the synovial endothelium

Surface forces at restricted equilibrium, in solutions containing finite or infinite semiflexible polymers

We use density functional theory to investigate how the presence of polymers influence the interactions between adsorbing or nonadsorbing flat surfaces, forming a slit geometry. The study is primarily made under "restricted equilibrium" conditions, i.e., below a threshold separation, the chains are allowed to equilibrate conformationally between the surfaces, but they are unable to diffuse into or

Anthropometric Measures, Physical Activity, and Risk of Glioma and Meningioma in a Large Prospective Cohort Study

Can 2-oxoglutarate prevent changes in bone evoked by omeprazole?

The BOADICEA model of genetic susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancers: updates and extensions

Multiple genetic loci confer susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancers. We have previously developed a model (BOADICEA) under which susceptibility to breast cancer is explained by mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2, as well as by the joint multiplicative effects of many genes ( polygenic component). We have now updated BOADICEA using additional family data from two UK population-based studies of brea

The apical stem-loop of the hepatitis B virus encapsidation signal folds into a stable tri-loop with two underlying pyrimidine bulges

CD40 stimulation induces Pax5/BSAP and EBF activation through a APE/ref-1-dependent redox mechanism

Discrepancies between estimated and perceived risk of cancer among individuals with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer

Communicating cancer risk and recommending adequate control programs is central for genetic counseling. Individuals affected by hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) are at about 80% life-time risk of colorectal cancer and for female carriers 40-60% risk of endometrial cancer and 10-15% risk of ovarian cancer. The perceived risk among mutation carriers may, however, deviate from the ri

Simultaneous quantification of prostate-specific antigen and human glandular kallikrein 2 mRNA in blood samples from patients with prostate cancer and benign disease

Enzymatic degradation of carboxymethyl cellulose hydrolyzed by the endoglucanases Cel5A, Cel7B, and Cel45A from Humicola insolens and Cel7B, Cel12A and Cel45Acore from Trichoderma reesei.

Increased body temperature accelerates aggregation of the (Leu-68–>Gln) mutant cystatin C, the amyloid-forming protein in hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy

Hereditary cystatin C amyloid angiopathy is a dominantly inherited disorder, characterized by dementia, paralysis, and death from cerebral hemorrhage in early adult life. A variant of the cysteine proteinase inhibitor, cystatin C, is deposited as amyloid in the tissues of the patients and their spinal-fluid level of cystatin C is abnormally low. The disease-associated Leu-68-->Gln mutant (L68Q) cy

Increasing fecal butyrate in ulcerative colitis patients by diet. Controlled pilot study.

Cytogenetic features of multiple myeloma: impact of gender, age, disease phase, culture time, and cytokine stimulation

Relatively little is known about the cytogenetic features of multiple myeloma (MM) when compared to other hematologic malignancies. The reasons for this are most likely manifold, and include a low mitotic index of the malignant cells and the presence of cytogenetically cryptic abnormalities as well as of complex karyotypes with poor chromosome morphology. In the present study, we have investigated

Biogas production from llama and cow manure at high altitude

Methane production from llama and cow manures from the Bolivian high plateau (The "Altiplano") was studied using a parallel reactor set-up consisting of 10 lab-scale biogasifiers. The effects of pressure (495 and 760 mmHg), temperature (11 and 35 degrees C), hydraulic retention time (20 and 50 days), and manure content in the slurry (10%, 20% and 50%) were evaluated with respect to productivity an
