Chronic cerebral ischaemia (CCI) is a potentially life-threatening condition caused by carotid artery occlusion, hypotension and other causes. Moyamoya Syndrome (MMS) an example of CCI, in which there progressive narrowing the branches internal artery. Conventionally, magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) or digital subtraction angiogram (DSA) are utilised to visualise vascular abnormalities. Ho...

Nuclear transfer of androgen receptors (AR) and glucocorticoid receptors (GR) was determined in cultured genital skin fibroblasts from 10 normal controls and eight patients with abnormalities of the external genitalia. In whole cell studies, cultures were incubated for 20 min at 37 degrees C with [3H]methyltrienolone (3H-R1881) or tritiated dexamethasone, and specific binding was determined in ...

background: the earlier atomic bomb explosion in hiroshima and nagasaki, and three worth mentioning nuclear accidents - detonation at fukushima daiichi nuclear plant, chernobyl nuclear fallout and an accident at three mile island nuclear power plant have made us more worried about the secure exploitation of nuclear energy. the central focus of this paper is to review radiation-mediated health e...

Cytochalasine B is an indicator in the CBMN assay, but can also be geno- or cytotoxic. The aim of study was to determine optimal dose cytochalasine for Cytokinesis-Block Micronucleus (CBMN) assay domestic cat. results revealed a surprisingly high number micronuclei (MN) relation doses used. It found that concentration 2.5 μg/ml enough obtain binuclear cells, with minimal toxic effect on lymphoc...

Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) is potentially a DNA-bridging protein, which directly associates with inner nuclear membrane proteins carrying LEM domains. These features point to a key role in regulation of nuclear function and organization, dependent on interactions between the nuclear envelope and chromatin. To understand the functions of BAF in vivo, Drosophila baf null mutants gene...

Nuclear and mitochondrial genomes have to work in concert to generate a functional oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system. We have previously shown that we could restore partial OXPHOS function when chimpanzee or gorilla mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were introduced into human cells lacking mtDNA. However, we were unable to maintain orangutan mitochondrial DNA in a human cell. We have now produc...

the main objective of this article is to examine the u.s. nuclear war plans, which have led to the transformation of the grand strategy of the united states since 1945, and they have also a significant impact on the nuclear programs of the nuclear – weapon states (nws), defense policies of nato and international security. research questions include: what are the similarities and differences in ...

the ribs are essential structures of the osseous thorax that provide certain significant information and aid interpretation of radiologic images in daily routine practice. intrathoracic rib is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually discovered incidentally, but may cause in vain interventions in case of being unaware. we herein report an intrathoracic rib in a girl whose chest x-ray was stran...

abstract-cervicovaginal cytology is still a widely used cancer screening method that is well established in most countries. the present study aims at detecting and classifying squamous intraepithelial abnormalities and effects of certain infectious agents, particularly the cytopathic effects of human papillomavirus (hpv) in a series of cervicovaginal smears, according to the bethesda system (tb...
