DISC1 influences susceptibility to psychiatric disease and related phenotypes. Intact functions of DISC1 and its binding partners, NDEL1 and NDE1, are critical to neurodevelopmental processes aberrant in schizophrenia (SZ). Despite evidence of an NDEL1-DISC1 protein interaction, there have been no investigations of the NDEL1 gene or the relationship between NDEL1 and DISC1 in SZ. We genotyped s...

Schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BD) are associated with impairments in facial emotion perception and Theory of Mind (ToM). These social cognitive skills deficits may be related to a reduced capacity to effectively regulate one's own emotions according to the social context. We therefore set out to examine the relationship between social cognitive abilities and the use of cognitive stra...

Radiometric observations using single dishes and interferometers are responsible for most detections of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (SZ) effects. This article discusses the techniques used in measuring the thermal and kinematic SZ effects in this way, the pitfalls that may arise, the systematic errors in the data, and the resulting uncertainties in the interpretation of the results. Since these unce...

The glucose moiety of SZ facilitates the uptake of its cytotoxic group 1-methyl-1-nitrosourea into islets (1). Re cently, prior administration of 3-0MG, a nontoxic nonme tabolizable derivative of glucose, has been shown to protect rats against the development of SZ-induced diabetes (5). We report the effect of 3-0MG pretreatment on the lethal and diabetogenic doses of SZ in normal mice and the ...

In this article, we concentrate on the Sz?sz-Jakimovski-Leviatan operators imposed by Appell polynomials using q-calculus. We analyze classical Sz?sz-Jakimovski-Leviatan-Kantorovich and derive approximation results connected to non-negative parameters ? [ 1 2 ,?) in q-analogue. order combining with earlier investigation utilizing Korovkin?s theorem study local as well global theorems terms of u...

Using Chandra observations, we derive the $Y_{\rm X}$ proxy and associated total mass measurement, $M_{500}^{\rm Y_X}$, for 147 clusters with $z \leq 0.35$ from Planck Early Sunyaev-Zel'dovich catalog, 80 0.30$ an X-ray flux-limited sample. We re-extract SZ}$ measurements obtain corresponding proxy, SZ}$, full mission maps, minimizing Malmquist bias due to observational scatter. The masses re-e...

BACKGROUND Dysfunction of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) has been demonstrated to be involved in psychiatric diseases. However, the expression patterns and functions of the regulatory lncRNAs in schizophrenia (SZ) patients have rarely been systematically reported. MATERIAL AND METHODS The lncRNAs in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were screened and compared between the SZ patients an...

Recent studies have shown that bipolar disorder (BPD) and schizophrenia (SZ) share some common genetic risk factors. This study aimed to examine the association between candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and risk of BPD and SZ. A total of 715 patients (244 BPD and 471 SZ) and 593 controls were genotyped using the Sequenom Mass...

Structural abnormalities in schizophrenia (SZ) patients have been well documented with structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and region of interest (ROI) analyses. However, these analyses can only detect group-wise differences and thus, have a poor predictive value for individuals. In the present study, we applied a machine learning method that com...

Context. Measurements of the Sunyaev-Zel’dovich (hereafter SZ) effect distortion of the cosmic microwave background provide us with an independent method to derive the gas temperature of galaxy clusters. In merging galaxy clusters the gas distribution is inhomogeneous and, therefore, the method of temperature measuring based on the SZ effect should be more relevant than that based on an X-ray e...
