In this study, we examined the therapeutic potential of anti-Sclerostin Antibody (Scl-Ab) and bisphosphonate treatments for the bone fragility disorder Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI). Mice with the Amish OI mutation (Col1a2 G610C mice) and control wild type littermates (WT) were treated from week 5 to week 9 of life with (1) saline (control), (2) zoledronic acid given 0.025mg/kg s.c. weekly (ZA),...

SAŽETAK: Osnivanje šumskih kultura u Hrvatskoj započelo je sedamdesetih godina 20. stoljeća. Otada je udio šumskih kultura u šumskom fondu Hrva t ske varirao tijekom godina, a danas iznosi oko 3 %. Nove znanstvene spozna je ukazuju na postojanje opravdanih razloga daljnjeg te povećanog os nivanja šumskih kultura u Hrvatskoj (posebice spontano povećanje prikladnih površina za njihovo osnivanje)....

Natural pH regulatory mechanisms can be overruled during several pathologies such as cancer, inflammation and ischaemia, leading to local pH changes in the human body. Here we demonstrate that 13C-labelled zymonic acid (ZA) can be used as hyperpolarized magnetic resonance pH imaging sensor. ZA is synthesized from [1-13C]pyruvic acid and its 13C resonance frequencies shift up to 3.0 p.p.m. per p...

Povzetek. V članku je predstavljena problematika nastanka dodatnih harmonskih komponent v samodržnem vrtilnem momentu sinhronskega motorja s trajnimi magneti (SMTM). Dodatne harmonske komponente v nekaterih primerih zmanjšujejo učinkovitost poznanih konstrukcijskih metod za znižanje samodržnega vrtilnega momenta. Vzroki za nastanek dodatnih harmonskih komponent samodržnega vrtilnega momenta so ...

Sažetak Opasnosti korištenja antibiotskih poticatelja rasta u hrani za životinje po ljudsko zdravlje i/ili zlouporaba antibiotskih poticatelja rasta, dovele su do zabrane njihove uporabe u Europskoj Uniji (Regulation EC No. 1831/2003). U skladu s člankom 17. Uredbe (EZ-a) br 1831/2003 o dodacima koji se koriste u prehrani životinja, Komisija je utvrdila Registar dodataka hrani za životinje, pre...

For the zonula adherens (ZA) to be established by linear arrangement of adherens junctions (AJs) in epithelial sheet cells, critical for the epithelial cell sheet formation and intercellular barrier function, myosin-2 is supposedly integrated into the ZA with the result of overlapping localization of E-cadherin/actin/myosin-2. Here, we immunofluorescently showed that myosin-2 failed to be integ...

INTRODUCTION Patient satisfaction is one indicator of healthcare quality. Few studies have examined the inpatient experiences in resource-scarce environments in sub-Saharan Africa. METHODS To examine patient satisfaction on the public medical wards at a Kenyan referral hospital, we performed a cross-sectional survey focused on patients' satisfaction with medical information and their relation...

Let Za × Zb be the product of two directed cycles, let Zc be a subgroup of Za, and let Zd be a subgroup of Zb. Also, let A = a c and B =

WordNet is one of the most valuable lexical resources in the Natural Language Processing community. Unfortunately, the benefits of building a WordNet for the Macedonian language have never been recognized. Due to the time and labor intensive process of manual building of such a lexical resource, we were inspired to develop a method for its automated construction. In this paper, we present a new...
