The function of RedH from Streptomyces coelicolor as an enzyme that catalyses the condensation of 4-methoxy-2,2'-bipyrrole-5-carboxaldehyde (MBC) and 2-undecylpyrrole to form the natural product undecylprodiginine has been experimentally proven, and the substrate specificity of RedH has been probed in vivo by examining its ability to condense chemically-synthesised MBC analogues with 2-undecylp...

Male breast cancer (MBC) is a rare disease and constitutes less than 1% of all breast carcinoma cases. Although MBC most often presents with a palpable mass, failure to recognise the significance of other symptoms may lead to a delay in diagnosis. Nipple discharge (ND) is a rare symptom in men, but it may herald an underlying malignancy. We present two cases of (MBC) presenting with ND and emph...

A method for the determination of carbendazim (MBC) by anodic stripping voltammetry using a carbon fiber ultramicroelectrode was developed. The ultramicroelectrode was made in our laboratory and its electrochemical behavior was characterized by measuring the electrochemical response with a solution of potassium ferricyanide. The optimum parameters used for the determination of MBC are the follo...

Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is usually considered an incurable situation, for which treatments chosen to control the disease, should take into account the maintenance of a good quality of life. The end points of treatment of patients with MBC are influenced by consideration about efficacy and toxicity of the different therapeutic options. The availability of markers predicting response to tr...

Mosaic images combine information from many video frames into a coherent view of the world observed by a moving camera. They are the basis of a complete and eecient representation of video information, which facilitates its compression and utilization. In mosaic-based compression (MBC), predictions from mosaic images serve to reduce redundancy in the video data. The temporal pyramid of mosaics ...

Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) is a rare neoplasm containing a mixture of epithelial and mesenchymal elements. The epithelial component is usually ductal carcinoma but may include other variants of breast carcinomas including squamous carcinoma and osteogenic sarcoma. There is a relative paucity of data regarding such tumours. Metaplastic carcinoma carries a prognosis not dissimilar to that...

INTRODUCTION To evaluate the use of mycobacterial blood cultures (MBC) in diagnosing tuberculosis (TB) in patients with prolonged fever admitted to a Vietnamese referral hospital. RESULTS MBCs from 94 patients (66% male; median age 33 years; 75% HIV positive) were evaluated: 14 were mycobacterium positive (all HIV positive), and MBC was the only positive specimen in 9 cases (41%). Three posit...

Dynamics of soil organic carbon (SOC) are associated with soil erosion, yet there is a shortage of research concerning the relationship between soil erosion, SOC, and especially microbial biomass carbon (MBC). In this paper, we selected two typical slope landscapes including gentle and steep slopes from the Sichuan Basin, China, and used the (137)Cs technique to determine the effects of water e...

BACKGROUND Despite the favorable prognosis for medullary breast cancer (MBC), the guidelines for the use of adjuvant chemotherapy for MBC have not been clearly established. This study investigated the prognostic role of adjuvant chemotherapy in Korean patients with node-negative (N0), triple-negative (TN) MBC patients. METHODS We included data from 252 patients with N0 TN MBC, obtained from t...

Metaplastic breast carcinoma (MBC) differs from classic invasive ductal carcinomas regarding incidence, pathogenesis, and prognosis. The purpose of this study was to compare patients with MBC with clinicopathologic and treatment-matched patients with triple-negative breast carcinoma (TNBC) in terms of response to treatment, progression, and survival.Fifty-four patients with MBC and 51 with TNBC...
