Vascular access remains one of the most challenging aspects renal replacement therapy. New European Renal Best Practice (ERBP) Clinical practice guideline on peri- and postoperative care arteriovenous fistulas grafts for haemodialysis was published in 2019 (https://doi.org/10.1093/ndt/gfz072). During Advisory Board meeting ERBP, official guidance providing body ERA-EDTA, it decided that ERBP wi...

The conformation of the anticodon stem-loop of tRNAs required for correct decoding by the ribosome depends on intramolecular and intermolecular interactions that are independent of the tRNA nucleotide sequence. Non-bridging phosphate oxygen atoms have been shown to be critical for the structure and function of several RNAs. However, little is known about the role they play in ribosomal A site b...

Systematic local structural studies of the Ba(1-x)K(x)Fe(2)As(2) system are undertaken at room temperature using atomic pair distribution function analysis. The local structure of the Ba(1-x)K(x)Fe(2)As(2) is found to be well described by the long-range structure extracted from diffraction experiments, but with anisotropic atomic vibrations of the constituent atoms (U11 = U22 not equal U33). Th...

To meet the increasing needs of modern heavy ion accelerators, ECR ion source must be developed to deliver high intensity high brightness high charge state ion beams, in terms of accelerator output power and beam transmission efficiency. With the success in several laboratories on fully superconducting ECR ion source development, the performance of highly charged heavy ion beams have been great...

Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of supplemental CP source and level of urea on intestinal amino acid (AA) supply and feedlot performance of lambs fed diets based on alkaline hydrogen peroxide-treated wheat straw (AHPWS). In Exp. 1, five cannulated (ruminal, duodenal, and ileal) crossbred wethers (61 kg) were used in a 5 x 5 Latin square design. Treatments consisted of di...

Lipotoxicity is a metabolic stress response implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetes complications and has been shown to involve lipid-induced oxidative stress. To elucidate the molecular mechanisms of lipotoxicity, we used retroviral promoter trap mutagenesis to isolate a cell line that is resistant to lipotoxic and oxidative stress. We show that loss of three box C/D small nucleolar RNAs (s...
