BACKGROUND Oral leukoplakia (OL) is the most typical potentially malignant disorder of the oral mucosa. We aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of oral leukoplakia treated with several types of lasers and with the use of quantic molecular resonance (QMR) lancet, in terms of recurrence rate. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighty-seven previously untreated OL (52 occurring in females and 35 in males, m...

The transition from face-to-face classes to fully online learning (OL) during the spring semester of 2020 occurred almost globally because imposed COVID-19 lockdown. present study investigated perception and experiences undergraduate students faculty members Civil Engineering program at United Arab Emirates University concerning switching OL COVID-19. Quantitative questionnaires were distribute...

The differentiation of bipotential precursors of oligodendrocytes (OL) and type-2 astrocytes (AS) was followed in primary cultures from 8-day postnatal rat cerebellum by labeling the cells with the antibodies LB1 (which binds to the surface disialoganglioside GD3 present in glial precursors, type-2 AS, and immature OL), O4 (a marker of immature and mature OL binding to surface sulfatide), anti-...

The dehydrogenation reaction of cholest-7-en-3beta-ol (I) to cholesta-5,7-dien-3beta-ol (II) in the presence of NADH was studied in rat liver microsomes and in microsomal acetone powder preparations, using [3alpha-3H]cholest-7-en-3beta-ol. It was found that the reaction was inhibited by menadione, adenosine diphosphate, potassium ferricyanide, and cytochrome c while p-cresol had no effect. Thes...

Volatile organic compounds in farmed and wild rohu, Labeo rohita, were extracted by Likens-Nickerson concurrent distillation apparatus. The farmed raised rohu of two weight categories designated as FW1 (1001-1200g) and FW2 (501-700g) were procured from the Fish Seed Hatchery, Faisalabad. Concurrently, wild rohu of two weight categories designated as WW1 (1001-1200g) and WW2 (501-700g) were capt...

MOST hepatic functions are genetically determined and. after liver transplantation. the hepatic parenchyma retains its species specificity. Therefore. in the hamster-to-rat liver xenotransplantation mode!.' we assessed the phenotypic changes of the serum protein profile in the recipient. as well as the functional compatibility between the xenoproteins and the recipient environment. Upon serum p...

We have previously isolated epidermal growth factor (EGF)-responsive multipotent progenitor cells from the early postnatal rodent cerebral cortex independent of generative zones. In this study we have examined the mechanisms regulating the generation of differentiated oligodendrocytes (OLs) from these multipotent cells. Although cultures of primary cortical OL progenitor cells propagated at clo...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the in vivo and in vitro responses to nOle e 1 in allergic rhinitis (AR) and local allergic rhinitis (LAR) patients sensitized to olive tree pollen (OL) confirmed by nasal allergen provocation test (NAPT). METHODS Twelve subjects with AR, 12 with LAR and 12 subjects as control group (CG) were selected. Skin testing and NAPT with nOle e 1 were performed. Eosinophilic cati...
