BACKGROUND Ectopic crypts, defined as abnormally positioned crypts that have lost their orientation toward the muscularis mucosae, have been suggested to be the best defining histologic feature of traditional serrated adenoma (TSA). However, the significance of ectopic crypt formation (ECF) in the distinction between TSA and conventional adenoma (CA) has rarely been studied. METHODS We design...

This paper presents an executable service choreography framework (ECF). Current choreography languages are specification languages. They are used at design time to define a mutual contract between services that are under the supervision of different domain controllers. Choreography contracts are established by specifying the observable sequence of messages that are exchanged between services. S...

1. Renal sodium excretion is the primary determinant of sodium homeostasis. 2. Changes in sodium concentration in extracellular fluid (ECF) are associated with disorders of water balance. 3. Hypovolemia refers to losses of salt and water from the ECF, whereas dehydration is defined as primarily water loss from ECF. 4. Hypervolemia results when fluid accumulates in the ECF at a higher rate than ...

Evidence can be found throughout surgical history of how devastating an enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) can be for both patient and surgeon. From antiquity, this complication of abdominal surgery, malignancy, radiation, trauma, or inflammatory processes has been a significant challenge to surgeons due to high associated mortality and significant morbidity. An ECF causes dehydration, malnutrition,...

BACKGROUND Porphyromonas gingivalis has been implicated as a major pathogen in the development and progression of chronic periodontitis. P. gingivalis biofilm formation in the subgingival crevice plays an important role in the ability of the bacteria to tolerate stress signals outside the cytoplasmic membrane. Some bacteria use a distinct subfamily of sigma factors to regulate their extracytopl...

Trichlorfon (TCF) is a widely used broad-spectrum agricultural organophosphate (OP) pesticide. Few studies have evaluated the effects of TCF on reproductive toxicity after low-level exposure, especially after long-term exposure. This study assessed the direct effects of TCF on estrous cycle, oocyte maturation in female mice, and developmental outcome in nearterm fetuses after 30 consecutive day...

We have analyzed the teleconnection of total cloud fraction (TCF) with global sea surface temperature (SST) in multi-model ensembles (MME) fifth and sixth Coupled Model Intercomparison Projects (CMIP5 CMIP6). CMIP6-MME has a more robust realistic (TCF SST) pattern over extra-tropics (R ~ 0.43) North Atlantic 0.39) region, which turn resulted an improvement rainfall bias Asian summer monsoon (AS...

Overwhelming activation of IL-17, a gene involved in inflammation, leads to exaggerated Th17 responses associated with numerous autoimmune conditions, such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Here we show that TCF-1 is a critical factor to repress IL-17 gene locus by chromatin modifications during T cell development. Deletion of TCF-1 resulted in increased IL-17 gene expression ...

CD3-e gene expression is confined to the T cell lineage. We have recently identified and cloned a human transcription factor, TCF-1, that binds to a functional element in the T lymphocyte-specific enhancer of CD3-e . In a panel of human cell lines, TCF-1 expression was restricted to T lineage cells . TCF-1 belonged to a novel family of genes that contain the so-called high mobility group 1 (HMG...
