The effect of gastrointestinal surgery on serum creatine kinase activity was studied in 30 patients. The MB isoenzyme was demonstrated in sera of 30% of the patients and BB isoenzyme in 23%. MB content varied from 0.8 to 10.3% of the total creatine kinase activity, and the BB content from 0.6 to 18.4%. The CK-BB was probably of gastrointestinal origin, since gastrointestinal tract contains high...

In this paper we propose a novel approach to the pixel level fusion of spatially registered image sequences. This fusion method incorporates a shift invariant extension of the discrete Wavelet Transform, based on the concept of Wavelet Frames which yields an overcomplete signal representation. The advantage of the proposed fusion method is the improved temporal stability and consistency of the ...

Extracting an effective facial feature representation is the critical task for automatic expression recognition system. Local Binary Pattern (LBP) known to be a popular texture recognition. However, only few approaches utilize relationship between local neighborhood pixels itself. This paper presents Hybrid Texture Descriptor (HLTD) which derived from logical fusion of Neighborhood XNOR Pattern...

OBJECTIVE To construct four recombinant Lactococcus lactis strains exhibiting high beta-galactosidase activity in fusion or non-fusion ways, and to study the influence factors for their protein expression and secretion. METHODS The gene fragments encoding beta-galactosidase from two strains of Lactobacillus bulgaricus, wch9901 isolated from yogurt and 1.1480 purchased from the Chinese Academy...

SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus that emerged as an epidemic, causing respiratory disease with multiple severe symptoms and deadly consequences. ACE-2 TMPRSS2 play crucial synergistic roles in the membrane fusion viral entry of (COVID-19). The spike (S) protein binds to receptor for entry, while proteolytically cleaves S into S1 S2 subunits, promoting fusion. Therefore, are potential drug targ...

Traditional visual place recognition (VPR), usually using standard cameras, is easy to fail due glare or high-speed motion. By contrast, event cameras have the advantages of low latency, high temporal resolution, and dynamic range, which can deal with above issues. Nevertheless, are prone failure in motionless scenes, while still provide appearance information this case. Thus, exploiting comple...

Nonlinear state estimation and fusion tracking are always hot research topics for information processing. Compared to linear fusion tracking, nonlinear fusion tracking takes many new problems and challenges. Especially, the performances of fusion tracking, based on different nonlinear filters, are obviously different. The conventional nonlinear filters include extended Kalman filter (EKF), unsc...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the effect of spondylolisthesis on lumbar lordosis on the OSI (Jackson; Orthopaedic Systems Inc.) frame. Restoration of lumbar lordosis is important for maintaining sagittal balance. Physiologic lumbar lordosis has to be gained by intraoperative prone positioning with a hip extension and posterior instrumentation technique. There are some debates about changing lumbar lor...

UNLABELLED Metastasis is a complex, multistep process that begins with the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Circulating tumor cells (CTC) are believed to have undergone EMT and thus lack or express low levels of epithelial markers commonly used for enrichment and/or detection of such cells. However, most current CTC detection methods target only EpCAM and/or cytokeratin (CK) to enrich e...
