Young shoots or sprouts of common bamboos are used as food in third world countries. Evidences suggest the presence of cyanogenic glucoside like anti-thyroidal substance in bamboo shoots (BS) but effect of prolonged BS consumption on thyroid status under conditions of varying iodine nutriture remains unexplored. The study was undertaken to evaluate goitrogenic content, in vitro anti thyroid per...

Bandeiraea simplicifolia plant seeds contain a family of five alpha-D-galactopyranosyl-binding isolectins (BS I-A4, A3B, A2B2, AB3, B4) and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine-binding lectin (BS II). After Pi/NaCl extraction and ammonium sulfate fractionation BS II is specifically adsorbed onto p-aminobenzyl-1-thio-N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminide-succinylaminohexylaminyl--Sepharose-4B. The BS I isolectins pas...

OBJECTIVE The role of electrophysiology study in Brugada syndrome (BS) sudden cardiac death risk stratification remains controversial and seems to depend on the phenotypic expression of the channelopathy. Ajmaline has a key role in the diagnosis of BS. We observed that programmed electrical stimulation (PES) of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), only when type 1 BS ECG is unmasked by a...

Angiogenesis and its regulation is a crucial physiological response to chronic tissue ischemia causing increased microvessel growth along with collateral arteriolar remodeling to restore blood flow to deprived tissues.1 Vascular occlusion, as seen in coronary and peripheral artery disease, often progresses to chronic tissue ischemia without effective vascular remodeling responses.2 Thus, therap...

Suggestions for efficiently determining the lifetimes and mass difference of the light and heavy Bs mesons (B L s , B H s ) from Bs → J/ψφ,D∗+ s D∗− s decays are given. Using appropriate weighting functions for the angular distributions of the decay products (moment analysis), one can extract (ΓH ,ΓL,∆m)Bs . Such a moment analysis allows the determination of the relative magnitudes and phases o...

BACKGROUND Buddlejasaponin IV (BS-IV), a triterpene saponin isolated from Pleurospermum kamtschaticum HOFFMANN (Umbelliferae), is known to have potent anti-inflammatory activity and cytotoxicity against diverse cancer cell lines. In the present study, we attempted to verify whether BS-IV could inhibit cell growth, and induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in highly invasive YD-10B human oral s...

Summary: Sodium bisulfite conversion followed by sequencing (BSSeq, such as whole genome bisulfite sequencing or reduced representation bisulfite sequencing) has become popular for studying human epigenetic profiles. Identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is important for quantification of methylation levels and for study of allele-specific epigenetic events such as imprinting. Howe...

قدرت تفکیک دستگاه طیف‌نگار جرمی به صورت مستقیم شدت یون خروجی و انرژی آن بستگی دارد. مقدار تولید شده جریان باریکه الکترونی وابسته است. از جمله وظایف مدار کنترل چشمه برخورد تنظیم برای رسیدن بهینه می‌باشد. در ساخت پارامترهایی نظیر تثبیت آن، دقیق پتانسل الکتریکی لنز الکترودهای یونی بسیار حایز اهمیت این مقاله با قابلیت انتشار الکترون، پتانسیل نقاط طراحی ساخته شد. کنترلر بر روی طیف نگار 44Varian MAT ...

The present study describes the establishment of both B- and T-cell lines from the peripheral blood cells of two Bloom's syndrome (BS) patients and one healthy female by using Epstein-Barr (EBV) and adult T-cell leukemia viruses (ATLV). The cell lines from normal and BS subjects exhibited cell surface markers compatible with B- and T-cell origin; in addition, the BS B- and T-cell lines retained...
