Alternative splicing of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) occurs in a cell-type-specific manner with the mutually exclusive use of exon IIIb or exon IIIc. Specific inclusion of exon IIIb is observed in epithelial cells, whereas exon IIIc inclusion is seen in mesenchymal cells. Epithelium-specific activation of exon IIIb and repression of exon IIIc are coordinately regulated by introni...

usd7 is one of the steel products of isfahan steel company. it is cast in continuous casting moulds and rolled up to a rod of 5 mm diameter. finally, it is wire drawn up to 3 mm and used as welding electrodes. this steel contains 0.05 to 0.09 wt. % carbon. the acceptable limit of the aluminium in this class of steel is less than 0.003 wt%. therefore, it is categorized as rimmed steel. during fo...

background and aims: ovarian cancer is one of most common causes of cancer related women's mortalities. human papilloma virus is a known factor concerning cervical cancer but its role in causing ovarian cancer is not yet verified. a few studies also identified hpv dna in ovarian carcinoma tissues. however, some studies did not detect hpv dna in ovarian carcinoma tissues. in this article, we inv...

results: the only significant difference was the older age of the malignant group vs. benign group (p = 0.001) regarding demographic findings. as concerns the clinical symptoms, presence of abdominal discomfort in pre-diagnosis period was the only significant parameter in malignant group (p = 0.001). additionally, data analysis of patients as a total group showed that specificity (96.4%), posit...

background: the cells of mammalian female reproductive tract have been widely used for in vitro fertilization (ivf). this study was designed to study the effects of oviductal epithelial cells (oecs) and their conditioned medium during ivf on subsequent embryonic development and the relative abundance of zygote arrest 1 (zar1) transcript in ovine zygotes. methods: the in vitro matured ovine oocy...

in this paper, we use the concept of graph convergence of h(.,.)-co-accretive mapping introduced by [r. ahmad, m. akram, m. dilshad, graph convergence for the h(.,.)-co-accretive mapping with an application, bull. malays. math. sci. soc., doi: 10.1007/s40840-014-0103-z, 2014$] and define an over-relaxed proximal point method to obtain the solution of a generalized variational inclusion problem ...

Intranuclear inclusions were found in 75 per cent of young mice suffering from a spontaneous diarrheal disease. They were confined to the epithelial cells of the small intestine, and to the intestinal and mesenteric lymphadenoid tissue. They were seen only between the 10th and 15th days after birth, in apparently healthy control mice of the same age group, they were found in only two of thirty-...

Experimental conditions that abolish or reduce to a minimum intercellular contacts between Madin-Darby canine kidney epithelial cells result in the appearance of an intracellular storage compartment for apical membrane proteins. Subconfluent culture, incubation in 1-5 microM Ca++, or inclusion of dissociated cells within agarose or collagen gels all caused the intracellular accumulation of a 18...

We report three autopsy cases of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in fetuses with a review of literature. The clinical manifestations in these cases of congenital CMV infection include intrauterine fetal death, hydrops fetalis, and CMV pneumonia associated with cardiovascular defect. The pathological characteristics were as follows: 1) the kidney was the most frequently involved organ...

1. An epizootic disease of ferrets with a very high case fatality rate is described. 2. By the use of suitable material the natural disease can be transmitted experimentally. 3. The primary causative agent of the disease is a filterable virus. 4. Secondary invasion by bacteria of the respiratory tract of infected animals frequently occurs. The most important secondary invader is hemolytic strep...
