Purpose To examine the associations of the earlier reported glaucoma-related genes to the regional circumpapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thicknesses (cpRNFLTs) and corresponding visual field defects. Methods We studied 756 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and 3094 normal controls. Each participant was genotyped for nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of four glauco...

After biological treatment, coke wastewater contains small amounts of phenolic compounds resistant to such treatment. The removal of phenols and COD from coke wastewater subjected to biological treatment was studied. The adsorbents used were granular activated carbon and the resins XAD-2, AP-246 and OC-1074. Equilibrium, kinetics and column assays were carried out, fitting the equilibrium data ...

Abstract Introduction and objectives Up to 50–60% of patients with diabetes have non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD) in the biopsy. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication frequently associated diabetic nephropathy (DN). The objective current study investigate outcomes survival biopsy diagnoses DN NDKD according presence DR. Material methods Observational, multicenter retrospec...

A tumour suppressor function for p53 is indicated in human lung cancer and in carcinoma of the colorectum. Loss of suppressor function, by mutation of the p53 gene, is associated with activation of p53 as an oncogene. The suppressor (wild type) and oncogenic (mutant) forms of the murine p53 protein are distinguishable at the molecular level by reactivity with anti-p53 monoclonal antibodies. For...

We have studied the correlated X-ray spectral and X-ray timing behavior of the Xray transient XTE J1806–246 using data obtained with the proportional counter array onboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. In the X-ray color-color diagram two distinct patterns are traced out. The first pattern is a curved branch, which is observed during the rise and the decay of the outburst. This pattern resem...

Erythrocytes and plasma proteins contribrelated (p < 0.001) with the plasma ute to viscosity of blood. Therefore, blood macroglobulin concentration in g/100 ml. viscosity was measured in 16 persons with The plasma of patients with macroglobumacroglobulinemia with a cone-plate vislinemia is a non-Newtonian fluid, but at a cometer at defined shear rates. In each given shear rate the plasma viscos...

Many studies have shown that the mycoplasmal membrane protein p37 enhances cancer cell migration, invasion, and metastasis. Previously, we generated 6 monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) against the mycoplasmal protein p37 and showed the presence of mycoplasma-infected circulating tumor cells in the blood of hepatocellular carcinoma patients by using CA27, one of the six MAbs. When mycoplasmas were in...

We screened 768 tick pools containing 6,962 ticks from Khammouan Province, Laos, by using quantitative real-time PCR and identified Rickettsia spp., Ehrlichia spp., and Borrelia spp. Sequencing of Rickettsia spp.-positive and Borrelia spp.-positive pools provided evidence for distinct genotypes. Our results identified bacteria with human disease potential in ticks in Laos.
