The studies conducted in 2007–2008 were aimed to assess how the developmental stage of common oregano affected the quality and quantity of the herb yield. The field experiment was established with the use of random blocks in four repetitions. Oregano was grown from seeding produced in a greenhouse. Herbage harvest of one-year-old plants was conducted before flowering, in budding phase, at the b...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in cancers is related to metastasis, recurrence, and poor prognosis. We evaluated whether EMT-related proteins can act as prognostic biomarkers in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients. METHODS We evaluated the expression of E-cadherin, β-catenin, and S100A4 by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 333 CRC tissues from the tumor center and invasiv...

Purpose. To study how the content of main nutrients, amount and ratio structural nonstructural carbohydrates in green mass alfalfa changes during process growth development. establish a phase which produced feed will have high biological value. Methods. Sampling was carried out accordance with State Standard Ukraine (SSU) ISO 6497:2005, determination moisture other volatile substances – SSU 649...

Introduction: The significance of tumor budding and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) has not been established in gastric adenocarcinoma (GAC). Objectives: This study evaluated PD-L1 expression with regard to microenvironment, clinicopathologic parameters, overall survival GAC. Patients Methods: Totally, 102 GAC cases were assessed immunohistochemically. associations features, tumor-infiltratin...

We have used correlated scanning EM (SEM) and multiphoton fluorescence microscopy to visualize budding of virus-like particles (VLPs) of Rous sarcoma virus (RSV) and HIV type 1 (HIV-1). When the Gag structural protein was expressed alone as a GFP fusion, most budding particles appeared morphologically aberrant, but normal assembly could be rescued by coexpression of untagged Gag protein. Imagin...

Japanese university entrance exams have two stages: The National Center Test (multiple choice-type questions) and second-stage examinations (complex questions including terms and essays). We participated in all phases of NTCIR-11 QA Lab-1 and NTCIR-12 QA Lab-2 task’s Japanese subtask and our system answered all of the questions. At QA Lab-2 task, we focused on term and essay questions in the se...

Abstract Background The world today is faced with the humongous challenge of removing numerous plastic wastes in our environment. Efforts removal or remediation these materials from ecosystem are presently at budding stage. Some researchers have shown that certain bacterial enzymes ability to hydrolyze and further degrade compounds. In this study, PET hydrolase enzyme polyvinylchloride, polyure...
