Let ρC be the regularity of the Hilbert function of a projective curve C in P K over an algebraically closed field K and α1, . . . , αn−1 be minimal degrees for which there exists a complete intersection of type (α1, . . . , αn−1) containing the curve C. Then the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of C is upper bounded by max{ρC +1, α1 + . . .+αn−1 − (n− 2)}. We study and, for space curves, refine ...

Mastitis set apart as clinical and sub clinical is a disease complex of dairy cattle, with sub clinical being the most important economically. Of late, laboratories showed interest in developing biochemical markers to diagnose sub clinical mastitis (SCM) in herds. Many workers reported noteworthy alternation of acute phase proteins (APPs) and nitric oxide, (measured as nitrate+nitrite = NOx) in...

Glutamate released during neuronal activity is cleared from the synaptic space via the astrocytic glutamate/Na(+) co-transporters. This transport is driven by the transmembrane Na(+) gradient mediated by Na,K-ATPase. Astrocytes express two isoforms of the catalytic Na,K-ATPase α subunits; the ubiquitously expressed α1 subunit and the α2 subunit that has a more specific expression profile. In th...

It is shown that if F1, F2, . . . , Ft are bipartite 2-regular graphs of order n and α1, α2, . . . , αt are non-negative integers such that α1+α2+· · ·+αt = n−2 2 , α1 ≥ 3 is odd, and αi is even for i = 2, 3, . . . , t, then there exists a 2-factorisation of Kn−I in which there are exactly αi 2-factors isomorphic to Fi for i = 1, 2, . . . , t. This result completes the solution of the Oberwolfa...

Core fucose-specific lectin from Pholiota squarrosa 1 A novel core fucose-specific lectin from the mushroom Pholiota squarrosa* Background: Fuc-α1-6 oligosaccharide has a variety of biological functions. Results: Purification of a novel Fucα 1-6-specific lectin from the mushroom Pholiota squarrosa. Conclusion: The lectin binds only to core α1-6 fucosylated N-glycans and not to the other types o...

We give a reformulation of a six-parameter family of coupled Painlevé VI systems with affine Weyl group symmetry of type D (1) 6 . We also study some Hamiltonian structures of this system. 0. Introduction In [4], we proposed a 6-parameter family of four-dimensional coupled Painlevé VI systems with affine Weyl group symmetry of type D (1) 6 . This system can be considered as a genelarization of ...

Na-K-ATPase is a fundamental component of ion transport. Four α isoforms of the Na-K-ATPase catalytic α subunit are expressed in human cells. The ubiquitous Na-K-ATPase α1 was recently discovered to also mediate signal transduction through Src kinase. In contrast, α2 expression is limited to a few cell types including myocytes, where it is coupled to the Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger. To test whether ...

Introduction: Obesity, which is a serious problem in children, has negative impact on many organs, including kidneys, and obesity-related glomerulopathy (ORG) an increasingly common cause of ESKD (end-stage kidney disease) adults. Early-detected -treated glomerular lesions are reversible, so it important to find useful marker early damage. The study aimed evaluate the albumin-to-creatinine rati...

BACKGROUND Several drugs are approved for the treatment of lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in men, but these are mostly used by clinicians as monotherapies. The combination of different compounds, each of which targets a different aspect of LUTS, seems appealing. However, only few clinical trials have evaluated the effects of combination therapies. OBJECTIVE This systematic review analyze...

In mouse parotid glands, we found expression of skeletal muscle actin (actin-α1) protein and mRNA. We isolated myoepithelial cells from the mouse parotid glands and investigated their actin-α1 expression because smooth muscle actin (actin-α2) has been used as a marker for myoepithelial cells. We used actin-α1 expression to identify pathological changes in diabetic non-obese diabetic (NOD; NOD/S...
