AIM To investigate factors causing diabetes recurrence after sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and duodenal-jejunal bypass (DJB). METHODS SG and DJB were performed on rats with diabetes induced by high-fat diet (HFD) and streptozotocin (STZ). HFD was used to induce diabetes recurrence at 4 wk postoperatively. Body weight, oral glucose tolerance test, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (...

Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1ss and IL-6, have been detected in the cerebellum of Rora(sg/sg) mice during the first postnatal month of neurodegenerative process. This suggests the existence of a microglial reaction in the context of an inflammatory process that would be triggered by the massive neuronal loss. To test this hypothesis, we qualitatively and quantitati...

In fundamental analysis, it is customary to interpret an increase in the ratio of selling, general, and administrative costs to sales (the SG&A cost ratio) between two periods as a negative signal about future profitability and firm value. Implicit in this interpretation is an expectation that SG&A costs should normally move proportionately with increases or decreases in revenues, and that an i...

Saponins are sterols or triterpene glycosides that are widely distributed in plants. The biosynthesis of soybean saponins is thought to involve many kinds of glycosyltransferases, which is reflected in their structural diversity. Here, we performed linkage analyses of the Sg-3 and Sg-4 loci, which may control the sugar chain composition at the C-3 sugar moieties of the soybean saponin aglycones...

in this paper we study properties of symbols such that these belong to class of symbols sitting insidesm ρ,φ that we shall introduce as the following. so for because hypoelliptic pseudodifferential operatorsplays a key role in quantum mechanics we will investigate some properties of m−hypoelliptic pseudodifferential operators for which define base on this class of symbols. also we consider maxi...

A wide increment of the object-oriented diffusion has been registered. This is accompanied by the needs of metrics and tools for assessing class reusability, maintainability, complexity, etc. Metrics have to produce confident results and have to be continuously revalidated on the basis of specific purpose on their adoption. Tools for system assessment must be capable of satisfying the needs of ...

We present evidence for a 0 (1450) decaying to KK in pp annihilation at rest in liquid hydrogen in the nal state K L K. This reaction is important for the study of the KK decay mode of scalar resonances, in particular the isovectors a 0 (980) and a 0 (1450). The determination of the a 0 (1450) production also xes the KK coupling of the isoscalar f 0 (1500). We

Introduction In the scientific world it is recognized that high levels of collaboration, but particularly international scientific collaborations, lead to increase in citations, a better quality of the papers published, and a greater productivity of the authors (Leimu & Koricheva, 2005; Hsu & Huang, 2010). However this citation increment may vary across nations. For various reasons, there might...

. We combine the creation and annihilation operators of a scalar field in Minkowski spacetime to obtain the generators of the SU(1,1). We show that the transformation between Minkowski and Rindler vacua can be represented by (pseudo)rotation in the space of the SU(1,1) group. The root of this fact originates from the coordinate transformation between Minkowski and Rindler manifolds that can als...
