BACKGROUND Resistance to therapy and subsequent relapse remain major challenges in the clinical management of relapsed childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia. As the bone marrow environment plays an important role in survival and chemotherapy resistance of leukemia cells by activating different signaling pathways, such as the VLA-4 and PI3K/Akt pathways, we studied the prognostic and biological...

Threshold biasing of a Gaussian random field gives a linear amplification of the reduced two point correlation function at large distances. We show that for standard cosmological models this does not translate into a linear amplification of the power spectrum (PS) at small k. For standard CDM type models this means that the “turn-over” at small k of the original PS disappears in the PS of the b...

Orofacial pain' most commonly occurs due to dental causes like caries, gingivitis or periodontitis. Other common causes of 'orofacial pain' are sinusitis, temporomandibular joint(TMJ) dysfunction, otitis externa, tension headache and migraine. In some patients, the etiology of 'orofacial pain' remains undetected despite optimal evaluation. A few patients in the practice of clinical dentistry pr...

The effect of amino acid starvation on the rate of fatty acid synthesis was examined in stringent (CP 78, ref+) and relaxed (CP 79, rel-) isogenic strains of Escherichia coli (leu-, his-, arg-, fhr-, fhi-). Rates of incorporation of [UJ4C]glucose, [lJ4C]acetate, and 3H,0 into chloroform-methanol-soluble lipids ( >95% phospholipid) were instantly reduced 50 to 60 % by leucine starvation of strin...

Cardiovascular event and infection are the first and second leading causes of death in the peritoneal dialysis (PD) populations (Parfrey and Foley, 1999; Go et al., 2004; Schiffrin et al., 2007; USRDS, 2008); both events are closely related. PD-related peritonitis is the crucial infection in PD patients (Aslam et al., 2006; Bender et al., 2006). Peritoneal toxin should be absorbed to the system...
