PURPOSE The glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) constitute a family of cytosolic isoenzymes that are involved in the detoxication of electrophilic xenobiotics. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the concentration and cellular distribution of the various classes of cytosolic GSTs in the retina of control and triethyl lead-treated rats and thereby reveal mechanisms by which the cell...

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), a family of ubiquitous cytosolic isozymes, catalyze the detoxification of electrophilic substrates with reduced glutathione and participate in intracellular binding and transport of lipophilic substances. This study measured GST activity biochemically in the inner ear of the rat; determined the isozyme profile by Western blotting; and identified, immunohistoch...

Mouse Zfy1 and Zfy2 encode zinc finger transcription factors that map to the short arm of the Y chromosome (Yp). They have previously been shown to promote meiotic quality control during pachytene (Zfy1 and Zfy2) and at the first meiotic metaphase (Zfy2). However, from these previous studies additional roles for genes encoded on Yp during meiotic progression were inferred. In order to identify ...

INTRODUCTION A significant number of adolescents suffer extensive and enduring difficulties such as social anxiety, body image dissatisfaction, low self-esteem and bullying as a result of conditions or injuries that affect their appearance (eg, craniofacial and skin conditions, treatment side effects and scarring). Evidence-based psychosocial interventions to meet their specific needs are curre...

We investigate the surgical outcomes of patients undergoing hepatectomy according to different age intervals, identify the clinical factors related to surgical outcomes, and propose clinical risk scores for severe morbidity and mortality based on the clinical factors.Eight hundred three patients undergoing liver resection were divided into 3 groups: young patients (YP), <65 years (n = 387), eld...

To improve the CO2/N2 separation performance, mixed-matrix carbon molecular sieve membranes (mixed-matrix CMSMs) were fabricated and tested. Two carbon-based fillers, graphene oxide (GO) activated (YP-50F), separately incorporated into two polymer precursors (Matrimid® 5218 ODPA-TMPDA), resulting CMSMs demonstrated improved CO2 permeability. The improvement afforded by YP-50F was more substanti...

Over the last years, number of student and young professional members in IEEE PELS has increased. Students professionals now represent over 20% membership body make significant contributions to dynamism PELS. Via Young Professionals (S&YP) committee, a subgroup within students recent graduates host variety events at conferences create activities engage while enabling unique networking mentorshi...

cold stress is one of the most important environmental stresses for rice especially in temperate and high elevation areas. in present study, the effect of different temperatures, as the main plot, including 25 (control), 10 and 5°c on 12 rice cultivars (including champa yasouj, gerde, lenjan askari, kaamfirouz, kohsar, shafagh, domsiya mamassani, dular, gharib, hasan saraei, mosa tarom and 304)...

The Yucatán Peninsula (YP) has a complex hydroclimate with many proposed drivers of interannual and longer-term variability, ranging from coupled ocean–atmosphere processes to frequency tropical cyclones. mid-Holocene, time higher Northern Hemisphere summer insolation, provides an opportunity test the relationship between YP precipitation ocean temperature. Here, we present new, ?annually resol...

Objective: In order to study genetic variation and effect of drought stress on grain yield and some morphological traits in chickpea, an experiment was conducted on 64 genotypes during 2013-2014 cropping season at deputy of Kermanshah Sararood Dry Land Agricultural Research Institute, located on the western part of Iran. Methods: The experimental design was a randomized lattice design with tow ...
