Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the seventh leading cause of global cancer death. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) described as downregulation in epithelial markers such E-cadherin (E-cad) with increased expression mesenchymal Vimentin (Vim). This process one triggers early progression and metastasis PDAC. Our study aims to determine levels E-cad Vim well value EMT a predic...

The innate violence inhibition mechanism (VIM) purportedly regulates maladaptive aggressive behavior through motor inhibition, in response to expressions of distress, and is implicated psychopathy-related aggression. Deficiency eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; an omega-3 fatty acid) aggression callous-unemotional (CU) traits, however, its relationship the VIM remains unknown. Two studies tested rela...

this paper presents a comparison between variational iteration method (vim) and modfied variational iteration method (mvim) for approximate solution a system of volterra integral equation of the first kind. we convert a system of volterra integral equations to a system of volterra integro-di®erential equations that use vim and mvim to approximate solution of this system and hence obtain an appr...

We report 570 carbapenemase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae (CPKP) clinical isolates in a 1,040-bed Greek tertiary hospital during 2004 to 2010. The first CPKP (VIM-producing) was isolated in September 2004. Despite initial containment, VIM producers have become endemic since 2006. KPC-producing K. pneumoniae was first isolated in August 2007 from a patient who came from Israel, spread rapidly,...

Abstract Objectives: Essential tremor (ET) is a disabling condition resulting from cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuitry dysfunction. Deep brain stimulation of the thalamic ventral intermediate nucleus (VIM-DBS) effective in managing severe postural and action tremor. Non-invasive electrical cerebellum has recently emerged as potential therapeutic option for these patients. In this study, we aim...

in this paper a modification of he's variational iteration method (vim) has been employed to solve dung and riccati equations. sometimes, it is not easy or even impossible, to obtain the first few iterations of vim, therefore, we suggest to approximate the integrand by using suitable expansions such as taylor or chebyshev expansions.

In this paper, the conformable fractional-order SIR epidemic model are solved by means of an analytic technique for nonlinear problems, namely, fractional differential transformation method (CFDTM) and variational iteration (VIM). These models system equation (CFDE) that has no solution. The VIM is based on derivative proved. result revealed both methods in agreement accurate efficient solving ...

Gram-negative bacteria producing VIM-type metallo-lactamases (MBLs) are increasingly isolated worldwide (8). The VIM group includes at least 13 variants, clustered into three evolutionary lineages, driven by VIM-1, VIM-2, and VIM-7 (www.lahey.org/studies/other.asp#table1). blaVIM-12 is a recently identified blaVIM-1/VIM-2 hybrid gene, originally found in 2005 in a Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical...

Astroglial cells are the most abundant cells in the mammalian central nervous system, yet our knowledge about their function in bovine Herpesvirus type 5 (BoHV-5) has been limited. The aim of this study was to detect by immunohistochemistry assay the reactive astrocytes for glial fibrilary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin (VIM), considered intermediate filaments of the cytoskeleton, localized...

AIM Detection of gastric cancer using serum assay of vimentin methylation. METHODS A quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction assay was used to detect vimentin gene (VIM) methylation in the serum of 71 patients with gastric cancer. RESULTS Mean VIM methylation in cancer patients (0.304 ± 0.558) was significantly higher than that in healthy donors (0.011 ± 0.015, p=0.018)....
