Three cases of nuclear glycogenosis in the liver of diabetic patients have been studied by electron microscopy. In addition to the glycogen deposits described by others, an unusual intranuclear glycogen-filled body was found in all three cases. This body occurred alone or in close contact with the major glycogen deposit.

The obscrved semidiurnal wind in the troposphere at five niid-latmit,ude stations shows a, phase lead over the wind dcduccd from frictionlcss theory, and a smaller amplitude, espccially near the earth’s surface, than the theoretical value. By making use of the obscrved fact that the tidal pressure-dependent (frictionless) wind changes much less rapidly with height than does the observed wiiid i...

The effects of amiloride, a reported inhibitor of serum-stimulated sodium influx, were tested on tumor growth, tumor cell proliferation, and intracellular element content of cancer cells in vivo. We have shown previously that cancer cells have high intranuclear levels of sodium compared to those of their normal counterpart cells and have postulated that such a high level of sodium may be involv...

BACKGROUND Low body temperature is considered neuroprotective in ischemic stroke, yet some studies suggest that low body temperature may also inhibit clot lysis and recanalization. We hypothesized that low body temperature was associated with persistent proximal middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion in patients with acute ischemic stroke presenting with symptoms of proximal MCA occlusion, sugg...

In 2018, an outbreak resulting in deaths of 28 breeding pigeons was reported north Brisbane, Australia. The affected birds had runny nasal discharge and poor body condition. Two were submitted to Biosecurity Sciences Laboratory, for investigation. A range diagnostic tests excluded a number known pathogens, no virus isolated cell culture. Histopathological examination revealed severe acute multi...

The expression of several deletion mutants of fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) was studied in COS-1 cells. FGFR4-mutants lacking most of the extracellular region did not efficiently reach the plasma membrane but accumulated in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi body. A mutant FGFR4 lacking the kinase domain as well as most of the extracellular region (DeltaExt/R4Tth) had a dist...

Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α) is ubiquitous in the human body and plays a significant role various physiological pathological processes. However, TNF-α-induced diseases remain poorly understood with limited efficacy due to intricate nature of their mechanisms. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation, prevalent type epigenetic modification mRNA, primarily occurs at post-transcriptional level ...

We report the draft genome sequences of Bacillus anthracis strains Shikan-NIID, 52-40-NIAH, and 44-NIAH stored in Japan and belonging to the A3 cluster.
