Aims. The goal of this study is to analyze the H i supershell GS 121–05–037 and its role in triggering star formation. Methods. To characterize supershell, we analyzed 21-cm line far-infrared emission distributions. In addition, formation processes related 121-05-037, used Gaia survey, together with spectrophotometric calculations, derived a method look for massive OB–type stars. Results. chara...

BACKGROUND/AIMS We found that pooled Crohn's disease (CD) sera strongly react with a human gap-junction connexin 37 (Cx37) peptide and tested for anti-Cx37 antibody reactivity in sera from CD patients and controls. We also investigated whether peptide-recognition is due to Cx37/microbial molecular mimicry. METHODS The PSI-BLAST program was used for Cx37(121-135)/microbial alignment. Reactivit...

Antagonism of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling by soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 occurs during preeclampsia and is proposed to play an important role in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. We reported recently that hypertension associated with chronic reductions in uteroplacental perfusion pressure (RUPP) is associated with increased soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 and d...

erosclerotic lesions. VSMC proliferation induced by growth factors, such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), is known to be a prerequisite of the intimal thickening that is observed after angioplasty, and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) are considered to be a critical step in the proliferation of VSMCs. Pyles et al. reported that MAPKs are activated in response to balloon stretc...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate serious complications of tuberculous meningitis (TBM), resulting from difficulties in diagnosis and treatment of the disease. METHODS Clinical and laboratory findings of 121 patients with TBM followed-up between the years 1998 and 2005 were evaluated retrospectively in Haseki Training and Research Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey. The patients were diagnosed by history, physic...
