BACKGROUND Short Tandem Repeat (STR) loci are widely considered to be effective for variety of applications including forensic applications, phylogenetic reconstruction and chimerism based post Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) graft monitoring. For each application, specific sets of STR loci are used. AIMS In the present study, we have attempted to use same set of STR loci for ...

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas of the sinonasal region have been the subject of numerous studies. Previous reports have suggested that nasal lymphomas occurring in Orientals are mostly of the natural killer cell (NK)/T-cell phenotype which contrasts with the preponderance of the B-cell type in western populations. Recent studies indicated that NK/T-cell lymphoma constitutes the clinical condition of let...

Background: Primary lymphoepithelial carcinoma (LEC) of salivary gland is a rare tumor with strong racial and geographical predilection among Eskimos and Orientals in Greenland and Asia, and with strong association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). So far, only about 4 cases of EBV negative LEC of salivary gland were reported in the non-endemic area in non-predilected ethnic groups in the English ...

We read with interest the paper from Tsai and colleagues describing two uraemic patients with neurologic symptoms following ingestion of star fruit (Averrhoa carambola), a popular fruit among Orientals, belonging to the Oxalidaceae family. Star fruit’s neurotoxic effect was first reported by Muir and Lam who showed that its intraperitoneally or intracerebroventricularly injection could induce p...

This study was carried out to determine the incidence of agenesis of Palmaris longus muscle and the frequency of left handed individuals among the Ijaw ethnic group in Bayelsa State in Nigeria. A check on the incidence of agenesis was carried out on adult males and females on both hands by inspection. The flexor tendon was made prominence by flexing thumb and placing it on the little finger. Th...

class familiarity in imperial discourse can be combined to understand the nuances of colonial representations. Revisiting the Malay image, I argue that the medievalist convention of portraying the native as situated in intermediate evolution between savagery and Western civilization was crucial for imperialism. The Malay image shifted from the representation of orientals exhibiting incommensura...

The application of a deep learning algorithm (DL) can more accurately predict the initial flowering period Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco. In this research, we applied DL to establish nationwide long-term prediction model P. and analyzed contribution rate meteorological factors via Shapely Additive Explanation (SHAP). Based on daily data major stations in China from 1963–2015 observation 23...

Oriental arborvitae is not fully characterized in terms of its microscopic structure or physical mechanical properties. Moreover, there a lot contradictory information the literature about oriental arborvitae, especially structure. Therefore, sapwood (S) and heartwood (H) Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco from Central Europe were subjected to examinations. The presence helical thickenings was ...

Platycladus orientalis (L.) Franco (syn. Thuja orientalis L.), Thuja occidentalis L., and T. plicata D. Don. are conifers often used in the landscape. Most of the available cultivars of these species share the character of having foliage that turns an off-color during winter as a result of photoinhibition. Tetraploids of the related japanese-cedar [Cryptomeria japonica (L. f.) D. Don.] have exh...
