Cell penetrating peptides (CPPs) are short peptides that can pass through cell membranes. CPPs can facilitate the cellular entry of proteins, macromolecules, nanoparticles and drugs. RVG peptide (RVG hereinafter) is a 29-amino-acid CPP derived from a rabies virus glycoprotein that can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and enter brain cells. However, whether RVG can be used for genome editing ...

AIMS To compare the evolution of weight loss and complications in the patients subjected to two techniques of bariatric surgery (RVG: ring vertical gastroplasty and BP: gastric by pass type Capella) carried out in HospitalLa Paz during the years 2000 and 2001. MATERIAL AND METHODS 51 patients (27 RVG and 24 BP) were operated, and 44 (22 RVG and 22 BP) completed the follow-up at 1 year, 43 (22...

PURPOSE There has been a proliferation of available dental x-ray detectors over the recent past. The purpose of this short technical report is to provide a basic comparison of spatial resolution, contrast perceptibility, and relative exposure latitudes of 18 current dental x-ray detectors, including solid-state systems (CCD and CMOS), photostimulable phosphors, and analog film. METHODS Spatia...

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) has been reported to selectively duplicate in and then destroy tumor cells, whilst sparing normal cells. However, the effect of NDV on lung cancer has yet to be elucidated. In the present study, recombinant NDV (rl-RVG) was applied to lung adenocarcinoma A549 cell tumor-bearing mice to explore its effect on the proliferation of the cells and the immune response of ...

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of the Radiovisiography (RVG) with conventional Radiographic in canal length estimation in vitro for root canal treatment. Forty-single-rooted teeth were endodontically assessed and working lengths were determined using both conventional intra-oral dental film and Radiovisiography (RVG) 1R1X 70 intra-oral x-ray system. Measurement assessment was...

Oncolytic viruses can kill malignant cells while sparing normal cells. Multiple pathways are involved in this action. The antitumor effects of viral infection on SGC-7901 and AGS cells were investigated. We measured endoplasmic reticulum stress and autophagy caused by the recombinant avirulent Newcastle disease virus (NDV) LaSota strain expressing the rabies virus glycoprotein (rL-RVG) and the ...

This paper solves the problem of determining the number of cells in an invertible three neighborhood null-boundary uniform cellular automaton (CA) by using its rule vector graph (RVG). The RVG represents an efficient data structure designed to characterize CA evolution and is derived out of its rule vector (RV). The concept of a horizontal rule vector subgraph (HRVS) is introduced to formulate ...

INTRODUCTION The recent literature data points out a rising application of digital radiography--radiovisiography (RVG)--in dental clinical practice. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to apply and compare RVG with the conventional radiographic technique (CRDG) in terms of accuracy in linear measurement in dentistry. METHODS Measurements were done on the mandibular dogs teeth considering in...

BACKGROUND The study describes the relationship of retinal vascular geometry (RVG) to severity of diabetic retinopathy (DR), and its predictive role for subsequent development of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS The research project comprises of two stages. Firstly, a comparative study of diabetic patients with different grades of DR. (No DR: Minimal non-proliferative DR: Sev...

Many anesthesia groups provide services in a spectrum of anesthetizing locations, including offices, free-standing ambulatory surgery centers, diagnostic clinics, and traditional hospital operating rooms. The use of a uniformly understood measure of case complexity could assist an anesthesia group in ensuring appropriate anesthesia provider expertise and equipment availability at each anestheti...
