To further explore Y-STR INRA189 polymorphisms in the yak, and to determine the genetic differences among yak breeds, genotyping analysis of INRA189 in 102 male yak individuals from three yak breeds in Qinghai Province of China was performed. Genotyping revealed the presence of four alleles, with sizes of 149, 155, 157, and 159 bp, respectively. Of these, the 157-bp allele, which was found with...

Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems are degraded in terms of efficiency by increment their temperature. To keep away from degradation regarding the temperature increase, various thermal management techniques have been introduced to low. Besides improvement electrical efficiency, overall can be enhanced using extracted energy cell. The heat these systems, known as PV/Thermal (PV/T), applied for some...

Infections with human papillomaviruses (HPVs) belonging to the genus Betapapillomavirus have been linked to the development of non-melanoma skin cancer. Although persistence is expected, systematic investigation of this aspect of betapapillomavirus (beta-PV) infection has not been conducted. This study investigated the prevalence and persistence of 25 known beta-PV types in the skin of immunoco...

In the auditory cortex, synaptic inhibition is known to be involved in shaping receptive fields, enhancing temporal precision, and regulating gain. Cortical inhibition is provided by local GABAergic interneurons, which comprise 10-20% of the cortical population and can be separated into numerous subclasses. The morphological and physiological diversity of interneurons suggests that these differ...

In the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, laboratory diagnosis plays a critical role by isolating and identifying poliovirus (PV) from the stool samples from acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases. In recent years, reestablishment of PV circulation in countries where PV was previously eliminated has occurred because of decreased herd immunity, possibly due to poor vaccination coverage. To monito...

AIMS Pulmonary vein (PV) stenosis has been described as a complication after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation. The aim of the study was to investigate the diagnostic role of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in the assessment of PV stenosis. METHODS Ninety-one patients (71 men, mean age 57+/-16years), initially treated by catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, underwent re-abl...

Parvalbumin (PV)-expressing inhibitory interneurons are the most numerous GABAergic interneuron type in the neocortex and hippocampus (HPC). Selective reductions in PV interneurons are observed in cortical and limbic regions in postmortem human schizophrenic brain tissue. Reductions in PV expression are also observed in rodents following acute and/or chronic treatment with NMDAantagonists (e.g....

The objective of this work is to propose an integrated system for formic acid synthesis via photovoltaic (PV) assisted-chloralkali process and clean power generation by the fuel cell. initial step develop flow diagrams apply heat integration techniques conserve energy in direct cell (DFAFC). proposed forms from gaseous H2 produced chloralkali unit captured CO2. electricity requirements both PV-...

BACKGROUND The mechanism of pulmonary vein (PV) triggers of atrial fibrillation remains unclear. We performed adenosine (ADO) testing after PV isolation to characterize spontaneous dissociated PV rhythm and ADO-induced PV ectopy. METHODS AND RESULTS Seventy-four patients (61 men; age, 61±10 years) undergoing PV isolation for atrial fibrillation were studied. For each isolated PV, dissociated ...

In the hippocampus, the calcium-binding protein parvalbumin (PV) is expressed in interneurons that innervate perisomatic regions. PV in GABAergic synaptic terminals was proposed to limit repetitive GABA release by buffering of "residual calcium." We assessed the role of presynaptic PV in Ca(2+)-dependent GABA release in the hippocampus of PV-deficient (PV-/-) mice and wild-type (PV+/+) litterma...
