Cementum occupies a unique anatomical location where soft connective tissues of the periodontium are attached to root surfaces. Cell attachment properties of proteins present in cementum were studied. Human and bovine cementum were extracted with 0.5 mol/L CH3COOH followed by 4 mol/L guanidine, and proteins were separated by ion-exchange chromatography and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis...

We have identified a novel gene MEL1 (MDS1/EVI1-like gene 1) encoding a zinc finger protein near the breakpoint of t(1; 3)(p36;q21)-positive human acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. Here, we studied the structure, expression pattern, and function of MEL1 in leukemia cells. In this study, we have identified 3 transcription start sites, 1 in exon 1 and 2 in exon 2, and 2 kinds of translation pro...

The acquisition of immunity following subclinical or resolved infection with the intracellular parasite Leishmania donovani suggests that vaccination could prevent visceral leishmaniasis (VL). The LACK (Leishmania homolog of receptors for activated C kinase) antigen is of interest as a vaccine candidate for the leishmaniases because of its immunopathogenic role in murine L. major infection. Imm...

Cocaine-induced behavioral sensitization and weight loss were investigated in periadolescent Wistar rats kept with their mothers or subjected to repeated maternal separation. Litters allocated to the separation procedure were placed in a temperature-controlled (33 degrees C) chamber for 3 h per day from postnatal day 6 (P6) to P20. Non-handled rats were left undisturbed until weaning. Treatment...

Soil moisture, a crucial property for Earth surface research, has been focused widely in various studies. The Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) global products at 36 km and 9 (called P36 AP9 this research) have published from April 2015. However, the product was retrieved active radar L-band passive radiometer failed July In virtual image pair-based spatiotemporal fusion model coupled with spatial...

Abstract Background Oesophago-Gastric (OG) cancer is an aggressive malignant disease, and patients are offered extensive surgical treatment often in combination with neoadjuvant adjuvant oncological intervention. The process emotionally demanding affects outcomes (Fangand, & Schnoll, 2002). However, the available research concentrated on generalised anxiety depression (Hellstadius et al, 20...
