BACKGROUND The mechanisms promoting malignant transformation from chronic Helicobacter pylori-gastritis to gastric extranodal marginal zone lymphoma (MALT lymphoma) are insufficiently characterized. This follow-up study aimed to validate candidate microRNAs (miRs) in the process of neoplastic transformation. MATERIALS AND METHODS MicroRNA expression signatures (n=20) were generated for a tota...

Seven commercial brands of malt drinks were analyzed for reducing sugar, protein, minerals, vitamins A, vitamin C, oxalate, phytate and hydrogen cyanide. The malt drinks were found to contain substantial amounts of reducing sugar ranging from 603.66 to 943.45 mg/dl. Vitamins A and C were present in adequate amounts with respect to RDA requirements, whereas, low values were found for protein, ir...

We describe a “Multi-lingual Adaptive Language Tutor” (MALT) that uses natural language parsing and text generation to create various kinds of grammar exercises for learners of any language. These exercises can be restricted to specific topics by the instructor such as transformation of verb tenses. MALT generates novel exercises focusing on the specific difficulties of language learners as det...

Extranodal marginal zone B-cell lymphoma of the mucosa associated lymphoid tissue (MALT-lymphoma) is mot commonly diagnosed in stomach (30%–35%), but exceedingly rare intestinal tract (2%). Consequently, data on this special subgroup are scarce. Out 484 patients with MALt-lymphoma and treated at our institution from 1999 to 2020, 42 (11%) had involvement (24 primary 18 secondary) were restrospe...

to investigate variation and detect of genomic regions controlling quality and quantity of malt extract in barely, a study was conducted using a set of 72 double haploid barley lines as well as their parents (stepto & morex) at experimental stations of university of mahabad and agricultural research center of mian'doab in rcbd with two replications during cropping season (2011-12). differe...

Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP) and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma of lung are all uncommon disorders of respiratory system. MALT lymphoma of lung is a distinct and unique subtype of marginal zone B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) characterized by malignant cells arising from extranodal sites. They are characteristic of exuberant lymphoid infiltration in pathologic...

A 36-year-old Japanese woman presented with extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) in the stomach. The gastric lesions only partially improved after eradication therapy for Helicobacter pylori. A fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis revealed no fusion genes of API2-MALT1, although trisomy of chromosome 18 was identified. Radiation therapy w...

Studies from different countries showed variations of genetic changes and association with Chlamydia psittaci in ocular adnexal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma. A total of 38 ocular adnexal MALT lymphoma cases from Northern China were studied. Genetic abnormalities were investigated in 28 cases by interphase FISH. C. psittaci and other infectious agents that are commonly-assoc...

Although cultural surveys of airborne fungi are pursued widely, the comparative virtues of popular media have not been systematically tested. To facilitate an informed choice, eight different agar media were compared using paired single-plate exposures of identical, wind-oriented, Andersen samplers. Modified Mehrlich's (MM), Sabouraud's dextrose (SAB), malt extract (MALT), V8 juice (V8), and po...

Characteristic chromosomal aberrations have been associated with subtypes of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with distinct clinicopathologic features. Low-grade B-cell lymphomas of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) form such a group and might be expected to be characterized by a specific cytogenetic abnormality. Metaphase analyses of MALT lymphoma are rare due to problems with fresh tissue collec...
