OBJECTIVE This study aimed to measure and correlate the expression of insulin-like growth factor receptor-1 (IGF-1R) and the Lewis(y) antigen in ovarian cancer cell lines and tissue samples. METHODS Reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR), Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence double-labeling techniques were applied to detect and measure the expression...

the aim of this sutdy is to prepare histocompatability y(hy) antibody in female mouse at the first phase (current study), and to separate mouse embryos with regard to their sex, to be able to obtain offsprings of disired sex, by means of hy antibody, at the second phase. totally 421 balb/c inbred mice were used. antibodies were produced in females by intraperitonial injections of spleen and tes...

auctions have been as a competitive method of buying and selling valuable or rare items for a long time. single-sided auctions in which participants negotiate on a single attribute (e.g. price) are very popular. double auctions and negotiation on multiple attributes create more advantages compared to single-sided and single-attribute auctions. nonetheless, this adds the complexity of the auctio...

conclusion this study shows no significant improvement in the cancer detection rate by double reading; however, a lower recall rate could be a more helpful consequence. results readers had consensus on bi-rads categories in 459 breasts (71%), but diverse categories were used for 183 breasts (29%), including 132 significant and 51 non-significant discrepancies. according to weighted kappa test, ...

abstract background and aims. the aim of this study was to evalute the effect of double pedicle graft (dpg) with and without plasma rich in growth factor (prgf) in the treatment of miller's cl i and ii gingival recessions. materials and methods. thirty two bilateral buccal gingival miller’s cl i and ii recessions were selected. sixteen of the recessions were treated with dpg and prgf (test grou...

In [1] Akama, Berardi, Hayashi and Kohlenbach used a monotone modified realizability interpretation to establish the relative independence of Σ n+1-DNE from Π 0 n+1-LEM over HA, and hence the independence of Σ n+1-LEM from Π 0 n+1-LEM over HA, for all n ≥ 0. We show that the same relative independence results hold for these arithmetical principles over Kleene and Vesley’s system FIM of intuitio...

The carboxyl terminus of the calcium channel plays an important role in the regulation of calcium entry, signal transduction, and gene expression. Potential protein-protein interaction sites within the COOH terminus of the L-type calcium channel include those for the SH3 and SH2 binding domains of c-Src kinase that regulates calcium currents in smooth muscle. In this study, we examined the bind...
