We have assigned several mouse cDNA and genomic clones to the W region of mouse chromosome 5, established their position with respect to various marker loci in the region, and provided molecular verification that the W19H mutation is a deletion. Meiotic recombination analysis of an interspecific mouse backcross indicated the following gene order and distances [in centimorgans (cM)]: centromere-...

Methods We plan to include patients, agreeing with clinical and genetic diagnosis of FMF, who suffer from FMF attacks, at least once per month, in one of the sites commonly involved by FMF (Chest, abdomen, lower extremity large joints, and skin), despite treatment with colchicine 2 mg/ day or less (in case of colchicine intolerance). Involvement with other diseases relevant (vasculitis, spondyl...

This study examined the effects of postexercise chocolate milk (CM) or water (W) consumption during 5 days of intensive judo training with concomitant weight loss on salivary cortisol and testosterone, salivary secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA), delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and judo-related performance. Twelve trained male judo athletes engaged in 5 days of intensive judo training foll...

BACKGROUND The determination of the width of the implant is the first key step to select shape and volume of the implant in breast augmentation. The aim of this study was to introduce a new method to determine the width of the implant (W) and explain the reasons to do so in details. METHODS From January 2006 to June 2014, the authors have found and applied "CD -4" theory to determine the widt...

BACKGROUND We scrutinized the feasibility of apoptosis induction in blood cancer cells by means of low-intensity ultrasound and the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib (Velcade). MATERIAL AND METHODS Human leukemic monocyte lymphoma U937 cells were subjected to ultrasound in the presence of bortezomib and the echo contrast agent Sonazoid. Two types of acoustic intensity (0.18 W/cm² and 0.05 W/cm²) ...

BACKGROUND Curcuma comosa Roxb. (C. comosa) is an indigenous medicinal herb that has been used in Thailand as a dietary supplement to relieve postmenopausal symptoms. Recently, a novel phytoestrogen, (3R)-1,7-diphenyl-(4E,6E)-4,6-heptadien-3-ol or compound 049, has been isolated and no study thus far has investigated the role of C. comosa in preventing metabolic alterations occurring in estroge...
