To evaluate the characteristics and determinants of partial remission (PR) in Belgian children with type 1 diabetes (T1D), we analyzed records of 242 children from our center. Clinical and biological features were collected at diagnosis and during follow-up. PR was defined using the insulin-dose-adjusted A1C definition. PR occurred in 56.2% of patients and lasted 9.2 months (0.5 to 56.6). 25.6%...

RIZ1 (280 kDa) and RIZ2 (260 kDa) differ only for the presence in the larger form (RIZ1) of the PR domain. In the sequence of both proteins have been identified several domains: PR domain (130 aa), endowed with histonemethyltransferase activity (Lys 9 of histone H3) and implicated in protein-protein interactions; E1A like-domain (100 aa), contains the LXCXE sequence able to interact with the on...

It is shown that multi-dimensional generalization of the vector product is only possible in seven dimensional space. The three-dimensional vector product proved to be useful in various physical problems. A natural question is whether multi-dimensional generalization of the vector product is possible. This apparently simple question has somewhat unexpected answer, not widely known in physics com...

PURPOSE To assess the changes of biologic markers estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR), HER 2 and Ki-67 in locally advanced breast cancer patients after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. METHODS Data from 63 locally advanced breast cancer patients (stage II or III), whose histological diagnosis was made by core biopsies were retrospectively evaluated. The patients were given 4 cycles ...

background: the etiology of breast cancer and our understanding on the carcinogenicity of different risk factors is impotant for control programms. objective: we investigated the expression of estrogen and progesterone receptors (er, pr), and human epithelial receptor 2 (her2) overexpression and its associations, with environmental risk factors among breast cancer patients.  methods: we classif...

In the title complex, [Pr(2)(C(2)O(4))(3)(H(2)O)(4)](n), the two independent Pr(III) ions are both nine-coordinated in a distorted monocapped square-anti-prismatic geometry by seven O atoms from four oxalate ligands and two water mol-ecules. The Pr(III) ions are bridged by the oxalate ligands, forming a layer parallel to (001). O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds connect the layers.

Of 2744 patients seen in clinic practice, 37 were found to have a prolonged PR interval. The causes of prolongation of the PR interval were: congenital heart disease, 6; chronic rheumatic heart disease, 2; digitalis induced, 4; miscellaneous, 5; and coronary heart disease, 20. Of the 20 associated with coronary heart disease, 8 (2I.6% of all the patients with prolonged PR interval) had myocardi...

Background and Objectives: Cyclooxygenese-2 (COX-2) expression in breast cancer and its correlation with tumor prognosis is unclear. We investigated the incidence of COX-2 expression in patients and assessed interactions between COX-2 and clinical features of cancer and expression of HER2/neu, estrogen receptor (ER), and progesterone receptor (PR). Methods: COX-2 expression was investigated by...
