After integration into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane, ER-resident membrane proteins must be segregated from proteins that are exported to post-ER compartments. Here we analyze how human Gaa1 and PIG-T, two of the five subunits of the ER-localized glycosylphosphatidylinositol transamidase complex, are retained in the ER. Neither protein contains a known ER localization signal. Gaa1 is ...

In the oral microbial environment, Gram-negative bacterial derived lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can initiate inflammatory bone loss as seen in periodontal diseases. p38 Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling is critical to inflammatory cytokine and LPS-induced cytokine expression, which may contribute toward periodontal bone loss. The purpose of this proof-of-principle study was to evalu...

p38 MAPK is activated during heart diseases that might associate with myocardial damage and deterioration of cardiac function. In a rat model of myocardial injury, we have investigated cardioprotective effects of the inhibition of p38 MAPK using a novel, orally available p38alpha MAPK inhibitor. Rats were treated with N(omega)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME, 40 mg.kg(-1).day(-1)) in drin...

i n a survey of pneumonia due to mycoplasma 282 out of 12168 ovine and caprine lung condemnation were collected (2.32%). mycoplasma spp. has been isolated from pneumonic cases in 4 sheep and 2 goats. pcr studies were confirmed the genus of mycoplasma although attempting for identification of strains m. mycoides, m. capricolum/caprine pleuropneumonia and m. arginin were in failure. the lesions i...

Biodiversitas 24: 4095-4109. is one the genera Araceae with diverse pollen characters. This study aimed to investigate morphological characters in Philippines for inferring taxonomical relationships. Light microsc...

Background: Helicobacter pylori is the cause of serious diseases including gastric cancer and gastric mucosa–associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma.50% of world population is infected by this microorganism and it -based on epidemiologic studies - is mainly acquired during childhood . there is not enough evidence about prevalence of this infection in children and its risk factors so encourage us to...

In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), new strategies assess the potential benefit of genetically targeted therapy at diagnosis. This implies waiting for laboratory tests and therefore a delay in initiation of chemotherapy. We studied the impact of time from diagnosis to treatment (TDT) on overall survival, early death, and response rate in a retrospective series of 599 newly diagnosed AML patients t...
