BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Glycoproteins D (gD) and G (gG) of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) are virus envelope glycoproteins that are able to induce HSV-1 antibody production in infected persons. Therefore, those proteins could be in interest to develop the serodiagnostic test(s) for HSV antibody detection. The aim of present study was the comparison of anti-gD and anti-gG antibodies in HS...

On May 31, 2010, a direct acoustic measurement method was used to quantify fluid leakage rate from the Deepwater Horizon Macondo well prior to removal of its broken riser. This method utilized an acoustic imaging sonar and acoustic Doppler sonar operating onboard a remotely operated vehicle for noncontact measurement of flow cross-section and velocity from the well's two leak sites. Over 2,500 ...

BACKGROUND Resistin is a circulating adipokine with insulin-antagonizing effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) -420C > G in the resistin gene with serum resistin levels, insulin resistance, and risk of gestational diabetes (GDM) in Iranian population. METHOD 75 GDM patients and 70 healthy pregnant women were enrolle...

Neonatally streptozotocin-induced diabetic (n-STZ) rats were given food containing Lactobacilins GG cells (GG) er a control diet <control), from 9 to 18 weeks of age. The GG cells significantly lovvered the blood hemoglobin Aic (HbAic) level and improved glucose to]erance in n-STZ rats (p <O.05). In the GG group, the serum iitsulin level at 30 min after gl"cose loading was significantly higher ...

BACKGROUND The association between CD209 promoter polymorphisms (-336A/G, -871A/G) and tuberculosis (TB) risk has been widely reported, but results of previous studies remain controversial and ambiguous. To assess the association between CD209 polymorphisms and TB risk, a meta-analysis was performed. METHODS Based on comprehensive searches of the PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Weipu, and CBM...

In this paper, we obtain Jensen’s inequality for GG-convex functions. Also, we get in- equalities alike to Hermite-Hadamard inequality for GG-convex functions. Some examples are given.

Clara cell secretory protein 16KDa (CC16) is the major secretory protein of the Clara cells. The gene encoding CC16 has been implicated as potential susceptibility gene for asthma. Published studies between genetic polymorphism of CC16 at position 38 and asthma risk are controversial. Most of these studies are based on small sample size. To clarify the role of the A38G CC16 polymorphism on the ...

Ранее был доказан следующий результат: если абелева группа $\gG$ не является группой кручения, то теория моноида ее конечных подмножеств позволяет интерпретировать элементарную арифметику. В настоящей работе мы приводим пример, который показывает, что аналогичный результат можно получить и, по крайней мере, для некоторых групп кручения. Earlier it was proved the following claim. Let be a non-to...

BACKGROUND The Cyclin D1(CCND1) G870A polymorphism may be associated with breast cancer, but the evidence from individual studies is inconclusive. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between the CCND1 G870A polymorphism and breast cancer risk in a meta-analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS We searched Pubmed and analysed 11 articles on 5,528 cases and 5,353 controls before Febr...

OBJECTIVES  To examine the effect of most common studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels in Saudi Arabian population.  METHOD A cross-sectional observational study was carried out between July 2014 and October 2015, at King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU), Al-Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. After informed consent, blood samples from 28...
