For the Cauchy problem, gt = u%~, 0 < x < 1, 0 < t < T, ~(0, t) = f(t), 0 < t < T, u.(O, t) = g(t), 0 < t < T, a direct numerical procedure involving the elementary solution of vt = v,, , 0 < x, 0 < t < T, ~(0, t) = g(t), 0 < t < T, v(x, 0) = 0,O < x and a Taylor’s series computed fromf(t) ~(0, t) is studied. Continuous dependence better than any power of logarithmic is obtained. Some numerical...

Fungal gliotoxin (GT) is a potent inhibitor of the O(2)(-)-generating NADPH oxidase of neutrophils. We reported that GT-treated neutrophils fail to phosphorylate p47(phox), a step essential for the enzyme activation, because GT prevents the colocalization of protein kinase C betaII with p47(phox) on the membrane. However, it remains unanswered whether GT directly affects any of NADPH oxidase co...

This study has investigated the metabolic effects of catechin-rich green tea (GT) and its formulation with ascorbic acid (AA) on the Zucker rat model of type 2 diabetes. AA is used to protect the GT catechins during digestion and increase bioavailability. Thirty two Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats were randomly divided into four groups (n=8 in each group) and treated with water, GT, AA and GT+...

Roquin, an E3 ligase, is involved in curtailing autoimmune pathology as seen from studies using mice with mutated (Rc3h1(san/san)) or disrupted (Rc3h1(gt/gt)) Rc3h1 gene. The extent to which intestinal immunopathology is caused by insufficient Roquin expression in the immune system, or by Roquin impairment in non-hematopoietic cells, has not been determined. Using bone marrow cells from Rc3h1(g...

IMPORTANCE Prophylactic gastrostomy tube (GT) insertion prior to chemoradiotherapy is a valuable nutritional adjunct in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing nonsurgical treatment. However, concerns have been expressed regarding high rates of GT dependence. There is little information in the literature regarding the impact of modifiable risk factors such as smoking and alcohol consumpti...

background: quorum sensing (qs) is a mechanism used by bacteria to determine their physiological activities and coordinate gene expression based on cell to cell signaling. many bacterial physiological functions are under the regulation of quorum sensing such as virulence, luminescence, motility, sporulation and biofilm formation. the aim of the present study was to isolate and characterize quor...

Let F (z) = z−H(z) with order o(H(z)) ≥ 1 be a formal map from C to C and G(z) the formal inverse map of F (z). We first study the deformation Ft(z) = z − tH(z) of F (z) and its formal inverse Gt(z) = z + tNt(z). (Note that Gt=1(z) = G(z) when o(H(z)) ≥ 2.) We show that Nt(z) is the unique power series solution of a Cauchy problem of a PDE, from which we derive a recurrent formula for Gt(z). Se...

Extra-corporal fertilization depends on the formation of copulatory organs: the external genitalia. Coordinated growth and differentiation of the genital tubercle (GT), an embryonic anlage of external genitalia, generates a proximodistally elongated structure suitable for copulation, erection, uresis and ejaculation. Despite recent progress in molecular embryology, few attempts have been made t...
