Higher sensitive transglutaminase autoantibody (TGA) assay will detect the onset of celiac disease (CD) autoimmunity earlier. In developing a nonradioactive assay for TGA, we utilized electrochemiluminescence (ECL) technology and compared it to a high-performance radioimmunoassay (RIA) currently being used to screen patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and genetically at-risk individuals for CD....

An unexpectedly high proportion of TGA nonsense mutations was obtained in a collection of chemically induced mutations in the spoIIR locus of Bacillus subtilis. Of 11 different mutations obtained, TGA mutations were found in four codons, whereas only three codons yielded missense mutations. Six suppressors of the TGA mutations were isolated, and five of the suppressing mutations were mapped to ...

The etiology of transient global amnesia (TGA) is not well understood. MR studies, including studies using diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), have been used to investigate the pathophysiology of TGA, and focal hippocampal lesions have been detected in some studies. The aim of this study was to investigate serial changes in MR images from the patients with TGA. In seven TGA patients, serial MRI s...

?-Dicalcium silicate (?-C2S) is known for its strong carbonation reactivity by which it can capture atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), thus, be used in construction industries. This paper aims to study the effects of ?-C2S on properties ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) containing cement mortar and paste natural accelerated curing. The compressive strength 5% (G5) added GGBFS higher c...

High-pure crude glycerol, obtained from the transesterification of coconut oil with ethanol using lipase enzyme-type as biocatalyst, has been used for acetalization furfural several SAPO 5 and 34 catalysts. SAPOs were prepared microwaves conventional heating comparison, characterized by X-ray diffraction, nitrogen physisorption, elemental analysis, thermogravimetry adsorbed cyclohexylamine scan...

Secondary compression studies can provide insights for evaluating the engineering potential and environmental impact of soil. The objective this research was to investigate effect bound water content on secondary marine silty clay. To end, a novel method established based thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) determine contents limits strongly weakly three typical clays including Tianjin mucky clay ...
