Nucleotide sequences of the four genes composing the T15 heavy chain variable region (VH) family of the CBA/J mouse have been determined. Comparison of these sequences with their published BALB/c and C57BL/10 homologues reveals that nucleotide differences found between given alleles of two strains, i.e., CBA/J and BALB/c, are observed in other family members of the same strain. We suggest that ...

The present study aims at understanding the family environment and element of tolerance. For the present study 520 family members (one respondent from one family) were sampled from Faisalabad district through proportionate random sampling technique. A survey method was used as a technique of data collection and an interview schedule was administered by the researchers to collect information for...

channel activities, particularly those of calcium channels, have vital roles in the process of sperm maturation, motility and sperm-egg interaction. a group of the recently discovered ion channels associated with these processes is four novel channel-like proteins known as catsper (cation channel sperm) gene family. catsper1 and catsper2 show sperm specific expression patterns. however, neither...

Background: Alkaptonuria is a rare genetic disease leading to the accumulation of homogentesic acid in joint and ear cartilage, sclera and some other tissues causing significant morbidity in these patients. In this paper, we report three cases of Alkaptonuria among the family or household members. Case Presentation: A 51-year-old man with mechanical low back and knee pain was referred to Rheuma...

background: the household transmission of hepatitis b virus (hbv) is a major health problem. high incidence of hbv infection is observed within the household contacts of hbv carriers. we aimed to evaluate serological markers of hepatitis b infection among family members of hbv carriers in arak, central iran. methods: data were collected from the 100 chronic hbv carriers (subjects with positive ...

OBJECTIVE To understand technical nursing students' meaning of interacting with family members of hospitalized children. METHOD Symbolic Interactionism was used as the theoretical framework and Qualitative Content Analysis was the methodological procedure. A total of eight graduates from an institution situated in the city of Osasco, Sao Paulo state, participated in this study. Data were coll...

Sequence analysis of a 13-kb telomeric region in O-137, a rice pathogenic isolate of Magnaporthe grisea, uncovered a novel gene, designated TLH1 (telomere-linked helicase 1). The TLH1 gene is a member of a gene family, and the sequences flanking this gene family have also been amplified. Genetic mapping showed that most members of the TLH gene family are tightly linked to the telomeres. A physi...

background & aim: chronic diseases impact not only on patients but also on their family members’ lives. this study aims to determine dimensions of family dermatology life quality index (fdlqi) questionnaire by the use of classic and bayesian factor analysis (bfa) factor. methods & materials: in this study, fdlqi questionnaire distributed among 100 family members of dermatological patients. bfa ...
