In Drosophila polytene chromosomes, most late-replicating regions remain underreplicated. A loss-of-function mutant of the suppressor of underreplication [Su(UR)] gene suppresses underreplication (UR), whereas extra copies of this gene enhance the level and number of regions showing UR. By combining DNA microarray analysis with manipulation of the number of Su(UR) gene copies, we achieved genom...

BACKGROUND Low-carbohydrate (LC) and high-fat, low-carbohydrate (HFLC) dietary preparations may enhance (18)F-FDG-PET-based imaging of small, inflamed structures near the heart by suppressing myocardial FDG signal. We compared myocardial (18)F-FDG uptake in patients randomized to LC, HFLC, and unrestricted (UR) preparations prior to (18)F-FDG-PET. METHODS AND RESULTS We randomized 63 outpatie...

Studies on the pyrolysis of the synthetic cannabinoid agonist UR-144 ((1-pentyl-1H-indol-3-yl)(2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropyl)methanone) have shown that its major pyrolysis product is a tetramethylcyclopropane ring-opened alkene. Considering that smoking is a common way of ingesting synthetic cannabimimetics, the presence of the metabolites of this pyrolysis product would be expected in biologi...

Studies of the relationship between spatial patterns of chronic illnesses (CI) and unemployment rate (UR) characteristics were not well documented. However, when analyzing the data that were collected on geographic areas, the spatial effects were seldom considered. This study addresses this concern by applying the mapping and spatial analysis techniques in studying how UR pattern is related to ...

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of gemcitabine-based chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery (gem-CRTS) for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) for borderline resectable (BR) and locally unresectable (UR) tumors. METHODS One hundred patients with PDAC who underwent the gem-CRTS protocol were classified into 3 groups, namely, resectable (R; 14), BR (44), and UR (42). Aft...

INTRODUCTION The emergence of urinary retention (UR), specifically acute urinary retention (AUR), has been a concern when treating men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) with antimuscarinic drugs. MATERIALS AND METHODS In NEPTUNE (12-week, double-blind), men (≥45 years) with LUTS were randomized to receive tamsulosin oral-controlled absorption system (TOCAS) 0.4 mg, fixed-dose combinati...
