The remarkable conservation of the primary structures and anatomical location of dogfish α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (MSH), corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP) and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) compared with mammals reinforced the tissue-specific processing hypothesis of ACTH peptides in the pituitary gland. The cloning of dogfish pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) led to t...

This study investigates the novel and advanced integrated pilot-scale treatment system of removal contaminants in secondary effluent from municipal wastewater. The main intent this work is to assess combination pressure sand filter (PSF), ultrafiltration (UF), ozone (O3), granular activated carbon (GAC) treat wastewater evaluate its suitability for water reuse. experiments were carried out a fo...

Thiosulfonates are characterized by a wide spectrum of biological activity and have effective antimicrobial, antithrombotic, antitumor antiparasitic effects. However, the use synthetic sulfur-containing compounds for therapeutic preventive purposes requires study their effect on protective mechanisms maintaining homeostasis, antioxidant status body in particular. The aim was to estimate lipid p...

Talking about Islamic business is closely related to mu'amalah (economy) which based on law. Understanding of sharia companies and the current environment very necessary for Muslim actors support their understanding in accordance with principles including noble moral values such as morals (fair, honest, trustworthy, professional, transparent, ethical). honest), al-amin/amanah, avoiding words "h...

Gata4, a member of the zinc finger family of GATA transcription factors, is highly expressed in duodenum and jejunum but is nearly undetectable in distal ileum of adult mice. We show here that the caudal reduction of Gata4 is conserved in humans. To test the hypothesis that the regional expression of Gata4 is critical for the maintenance of jejunal-ileal homeostasis in the adult small intestine...

This paper presents some aspects of the behavior of hydraulically actuated heavy duty manipulators. This category of manipulators is used extensively in large resource based industries and any improvement in efficiency may result in major financial benefits. In this paper an adaptive control algorithm is used for a two rigid link manipulator driven by hydraulic actuators. The dynamic model of t...

WATSON, S. J., H. AKIL AND J. M. WALKER. Anatomical and biochemical studies of the opioid peptides and related substances in the brain. PEPTIDES l: Suppl. 1, 11-20, 1980.--It is now clear that there are at least four opioid peptideneuronal systems in mammalian brain: the enkephalins, beta-endorphin and dynorphin. The focus of this presentation will be twofold--to focus on the multiple transmitt...

Background/Aims: It is known that high pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and high gestational weight gain both can cause many adverse pregnancy outcomes. High pre-delivery BMI (PD-BMI), though theoretically could do similar effects, is rarely been studied. The objectives of this study were to show the distribution of PD-BMI of the delivery women and to identify its correlation with adverse pr...

Epithelial cells are characterised by distinct apical and basolateral membrane domains that are separated by tight junctions. Establishment and maintenance of this polarity depend on specific gene expression and protein targeting to their correct location. Our former studies, performed with renal epithelial MDCK cells, revealed a new function for galectin-3, a member of a conserved family of le...

Haemophilus influenzae is a Gram-negative human pathogen that resides in the upper respiratory tract. Encapsulated H. influenzae type b (Hib) and type f (Hif) are the most common serotypes associated with invasive disease. H. influenzae displays various strategies to circumvent the host innate immune response, including the bactericidal effect of the complement system. In this study, we identif...
