BACKGROUND Robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) is commonly performed using the transperitoneal (TP) approach with six trocars over an 8-cm distance in the steep Trendelenburg position. In this study, we investigated the feasibility and the benefit of using the extraperitoneal (EP) approach with six trocars over a 4-cm distance in a flat or 5° Trendelenburg position. We also introduced f...

The study aims to provide empirical evidence on the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and accounting comparability (AC) earnings persistence (EP) in listed firms Vietnamese stock market. Data were collected from 76 companies that have disclosure financial statements, annual reports, CSR market period 2014 2017. used Generalized Method Moments (GMM) regression method evaluate corre...

PGE(2) is an important cyclooxygenase product that modulates airway inflammatory and smooth muscle responses. Signal transduction is mediated by four EP receptor subtypes that cause distinct effects on cell metabolism. To determine the role of EP(2) receptor activation, we produced a mouse lacking the EP(2) receptor by targeted gene disruption. The effect of aerosolized PGE(2) and other agonist...

the purpose of this study is designing a model to determine important factors on export performance (ep) in the base of cost leadership strategy for non_ metal mineral industry of iran. in this paper, available approaches in the scope of determinants of ep are identified consist of contingency view, relational and resource based view. in this study, we examine relationship between resources, co...

Environmental issues are gaining significant attention at the organizational and country levels because of growing pollution greenhouse gas emissions. This study aimed to examine relationship between governance (CG) environmental protection (EP) level. In addition, further examined outcome EP in developing developed countries. Neoliberal theory was used as an underpinning theory. The data for C...

Reverse signaling via glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked Ephrins may help control cell proliferation and outgrowth within the nervous system, but the mechanisms underlying this process remain poorly understood. In the embryonic enteric nervous system (ENS) of the moth Manduca sexta, migratory neurons forming the enteric plexus (EP cells) express a single Ephrin ligand (GPI-linked MsEphri...

In order to confirm the link between nonenzymatic glycation and the polyol pathway, we observed the effect of treatment with epalrestat (Ep), an aldose reductase inhibitor, on the concentration of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) in erythrocytes from diabetic patients. We also examined the effect of the drug on erythrocyte fructose 3-phosphate (F3P), a novel metabolite that has been repor...

The binding of labeled erythropoietin (EP) to cell surface receptors and subsequent processing of the hormone within the cell was studied in erythroid cells procured from the spleens of mice infected with the anemia strain of Friend virus. These immature erythroid cells respond to EP in culture to differentiate into reticulocytes and erythrocytes. Radiolabeled EP (both iodinated and tritiated) ...
