Novel hybrid magnetic cross-linked enzyme aggregates of phenylalanine ammonia lyase (HM-PAL-CLEAs) were developed by co-aggregation of enzyme aggregates with magnetite nanoparticles and subsequent crosslinking with glutaraldehyde. The HM-PAL-CLEAs can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by using an external magnetic field. Analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and confocal la...

Although many studies have been conducted on the components present in human breast milk (HM), research on the differences of chemical metabolites between HM, bovine milk (BM) and formula milk (FM) is limited. This study was to explore the chemical diversity of HM, BM and FM by metabolomic approaches. GC-TOFMS and UPLC-QTOFMS were applied to investigate the metabolic compositions in 30 HM sampl...

BACKGROUND The introduction of ovulation-inducing drugs has raised concern that women exposed to these therapies may be at increased risk of cancer. We assessed the potential association between exposure to fertility drugs and the risk of developing persistent trophoblastic tumour (PTT). METHODS We conducted a systematic review of the English and non-English language literature using the Nati...

Let G be a connected claw-free graph, M (G) the set of all vertices of G that have a connected neighborhood, and hM (G)i the induced subgraph of G on M (G). We prove that (i) if M (G) dominates G and hM (G)i is connected, then G is vertex pan-cyclic orderable, (ii) if M (G) dominates G; hM (G)i is connected, and G n M (G) is triangle-free, then G is fully 2-chord extendable, (iii) if M (G) domi...

Analysis of proteins isolated by affinity chromatography on DNA-cellulose from highly purified yeast mitochondria shows that these organelles do not contain histones but have in abundance a DNA-binding protein of 20,000 daltons. The purification yield of this protein, called HM, indicates that mitochondria have at least an equal mass of HM relative to DNA. The amino acid composition and its ele...

This study identified maternal and infant characteristics predicting human milk (HM) feeding in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants whose mothers (n = 184) participated in a study of lactation counseling and initiated milk expression. Data were collected prospectively, by maternal interview and medical record review. During hospitalization, 159 (86%) infants received at least 50% HM proportion...

In hub-motor electric vehicles (HM-EVs), the unbalanced electromagnetic force generated by HM will further deteriorate dynamic performance of vehicle. this paper, a semiactive suspension control method is proposed for HM-EVs. A quarter HM-EV model with an electromechanical coupling effect established.The consists three parts: motor model, road excitation and vehicle model. hybrid predictive con...

Thirty-six patients affected by Parkinson's disease were studied using single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and [99mTc]-HM-PAO as a tracer. The scanning procedure was performed 16-24 h after discontinuation of specific therapy. Tracer activity ratios were determined in 10 pairs of cerebellar, cortical, and subcortical regions. Data were compared with those of 10 age-matched contro...

We examined the in vivo activity of human macrophage colony-stimulating factor (hM-CSF) against lethal Candida albicans infection in mice. In C. albicans-infected mice which had been immunosuppressed with cyclophosphamide, treatment with hM-CSF at a daily dose of 8 x 10(5) units/kg of body weight or greater slightly but significantly prolonged survival. Furthermore, the therapeutic efficacy of ...

AIMS The need for ongoing and lifelong follow-up (FU) of patients with cardiac implantable electric devices (CIED) requires significant resources. Remote CIED management has been established as a safe alternative to conventional periodical in-office FU (CFU). An economic model compares the long-term cost and consequences of using daily Home Monitoring® (HM) instead of CFU. METHODS AND RESULTS...
