BACKGROUND/AIM Adenoid hypertrophy (AH) is one of the most frequent pediatric disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of TLR2-R753Q, TLR4-T399I, and TLR4-D299G polymorphisms in children with AH. MATERIALS AND METHODS The variants of the TLR gene were determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis in 60 patients with AH and in 50 healthy chil...

Abstract The concept of accumulation candidate genes (CG) polymorphisms in the realization hypertensive phenotype is perspective both understanding about arterial hypertension (AH) formation as a disease with constant increasing incidence, and prognosis early prevention. purpose research was to check hypothesis excessive genetic young patients compared older non-hypertensive factor morbidity AH...

The optimal roughage concentration required in feedlot diets changes continuously for many reasons such as source, availability, price, and interaction with other ingredients in the diet. Wet distillers grains and solubles (WDGS) are common in finishing diets and they contain relatively high amounts of fiber compared with other grains they replace. Therefore, concentration of roughage could be ...

lmidazolate bridged homo/hetero binuclear complexes of copper(II), nickei(II) and zinc(II) formed with glycylvalinate have been studied by pH-metry, EPR and visible absorption spectrometry in aqueous medium at 25 ± I 0 and I= 0.1 M NaCI04• The experimental data have been obtained for the followin~ species (A. = glycylvalinate and 8 =imidazole) :M +, AHt , AH, A·, 8W, 8 , M(OHt.

Pulmonary hemorrhage has been recognized as a major, often lethal, manifestation of severe leptospirosis albeit the pathogenesis remains unclear. The Leptospira interrogans virulent serogroup Icterohaemorrhagiae serovar Lai encodes a protein (LA2144), which exhibited the platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH) activity in vitro similar to that of human serum with respect to its subs...

OBJECTIVE To analyze trends relating to physicians' vocational integration and income composition from the Pesquisas Nacionais por Amostra de Domicílio (PNAD - National Household Sampling Surveys). METHODS PNAD microdata from 1988, 1993, 1998 and 2003 were analyzed in relation to demographic, social and occupational parameters. In the exploratory analysis, trends relating to physicians' emplo...

After pair-bonding, male prairie voles (Microtus ochrogaster) display aggression toward novel females but not toward their female partner. Here we show that this selective aggression in pair-bonded male prairie voles is associated with increased release of vasopressin (AVP) in the anterior hypothalamus (AH). Pharmacological activation of AVP-V1a receptors (V1aR) in the AH induced selective aggr...

Plasma platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), also called lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A₂ (Lp-PLA₂), is a group VIIA PLA₂ enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PAF and certain oxidized phospholipids. Although the role of PAF-AH as a pro- or anti-atherosclerotic enzyme is highly debated, several studies have shown it to be an independent marker of cardiovascular diseases....
