Active zone proteins play a fundamental role in regulating neurotransmitter release and defining release sites. The functional roles of active zone components are beginning to be elucidated; however, the mechanisms of active zone protein localization are unknown. Studies have shown that glutamine, leucine, lysine, and serine-rich protein (ELKS), a recently defined member of the active zone comp...

Original Article Background & objectives: To assess the nutritional iron status and anemia prevalence in rural children of Warangal district, A.P. INDIA. Methods: We have studied serum iron, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) relation ship in 50 rural children in the age group of 8-12 years. Results: As expected there was a highly significant increased levels of serum iron and a lower TIBC. The...

Although subjective global assessment (SGA) is a widely used tool for nutritional investigation, the scores are dependent on the inspectors' subjective opinions, and there are only few studies that directly assessed the usefulness of SGA and modified SGA in incident peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. A total of 365 incident PD patients between 2009 and 2015 were enrolled and measured with SGA a...

background: it is clear that helicobacter pylori (h. pylori) is a spiral bacterium that infects human and causes gastritis and peptic ulcer. the aim of this study was to determine the relationship between h .pylori infection and the iron status of the body. methods: this study was conducted in shahid beheshti hospital of babol university of medical sciences, babol, iran from august 2007 to july...

Neurotransmitters are released by synaptic vesicle fusion at the active zone. The active zone of a synapse mediates Ca2+-triggered neurotransmitter release, and integrates presynaptic signals in regulating this release. Much is known about the structure of active zones and synaptic vesicles, but the functional relation between their components is poorly understood. Here we show that RIM1alpha, ...

An automated multi-pumping flow system was developed for the in-line generation of singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) and subsequent assessment of the scavenging capacity against this reactive species. (1)O(2) was generated by dismutation of hydrogen peroxide catalyzed by molybdate ions. The evaluation of the scavenging capacity was based on the inhibition of the chemiluminescence reaction of luminol wit...

We implement a dynamical model that describes the polarization behavior in VCSELs containing an absorbing region surrounding the active zone. We find four regions of qualitative different behaviors: stable linearly-polarized operation, intensity pulsations of a linearly-polarized component, pulsations of both total intensity and polarization components, and polarization self-pulsations with con...
