background: cervical cancer has been shown to be highly associated with human papillomavirus (hpv) infection. the viral oncogenes e6 and e7 are constantly expressed by the tumor cells and are therefore potent targets for therapeutic genetic vaccination. in the present study, it was investigated the potential effect of hpv-16 e6, e7 and l1 co-administration to activate specific cytotoxic t lymph...

abstract background ulcerative colitis (uc) is characterized by recurrent episodes of inflammation limited to the mucosal layer of the colon. calprotectin is a zinc and calcium binding protein derived from neutrophils and monocytes. it is easily detectable in tissue samples, body fluids, and stools, which makes it a potentially valuable marker of inflammation. the aim of the current study is to...

This study was conducted to evaluate the anti-adipogenic effects of Maclura tricuspidate twig extract (MTE) in 3T3-L1 pre-adipocytes. pre-adipocytes were differentiated with adipogenic regents (dexamethsone, 3-isobutyl-methylxanthine, insulin) by incubation for 8 days absence or presence MTE. The accumulation lipid droplets and triglycerides cells dose-dependently suppressed MTE caused an incre...

Abstract An unwritten rule to resolve GNSS ambiguities in precise point positioning (PPP-AR) is that users should follow faithfully the frequency choices and observable combinations mandated by satellite clock phase bias providers. Switching other frequencies of measurements requires clocks be converted, albeit a roundabout way, agree with new code biases. Satellite biases, on hand, are prescri...

objective(s): to investigate the expression of human papilloma virus (hpv) l1 capsid protein, and human telomerase rna component (hterc) in cervical cancer and the role of detection of both genes in screening of cervical cancer.   materials and methods: a total of 309 patients were recruited and cervical exfoliated cells were collected. immunocytochemistry was employed to detect hpv l1 capsid p...

Magnetic resonance tagging (MRI) can be used to study intramyocardial trains in human in vivo. We wished to determine whether patients with severe mitral regurgitation demonstrate subtle myocardial contractile dysfunction despite normal left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) and how, mitral valve repair (MVR) may preserve EF in such patients. MRI was performed on seven patients with sever...
