The efficacy of hydroxyurea (HU) in myeloproliferative disorders is well documented. HU controls thrombocytosis both in polycythemia vera (PV) and in essential thrombocythemia (ET), while reducing the risk of thrombosis.1 Despite many anectodal reports, no evaluation of the prevalence and type of side effects of HU exists in large series of patients.

the purpose of this article is to deal with causes and trends of china and latin america foreign policy in hu jintao era. before hu presidency, china had more tendency to promoting relations with the west, but during this period (hu’s era) third world countries like africa and latin america countries gained their precedent positions in china foreign policy. the main question raised here, is “wh...

BACKGROUND The hematologic response to hydroxyurea (HU) is varied among β-thalassemia (BT) patients. The BCL11A and SOX6 genes are involved in response to HU. This study aimed to investigate the in-vitro responsiveness of HU among BT major patients homozygote for IVSII-1G>A mutation and XmnI single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in order to find whether the in-vitro Hb concentration is a predict...

A generic hexadeoxyribonucleotide microchip has been applied to test the DNA-binding properties of HU histone-like bacterial protein, which is known to have a low sequence specificity. All 4096 hexamers flanked within 8mers by degenerate bases at both the 3'- and 5'-ends were immobilized within the 100 x 100 x 20 mm polyacrylamide gel pads of the microchip. Single-stranded immobilized oligonucl...

Previous study has shown that the anti-Hu antibody titre of serum samples from patients with paraneoplastic encephalomyelitis/paraneoplastic sensory neuronopathy (PEM/PSN) was significantly higher than that from patients with small cell lung cancer without neurological disturbances (non-PEM/PSN). The aims of this study were (1) to identify the fine epitopes on HuD recognised by the anti-Hu anti...

BACKGROUND Ectopic fat density is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors above and beyond fat volume. Volumetric measures of ectopic fat have been associated with CVD risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between fat density and subclinical atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Participants were drawn from the ...

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether hindlimb unloading of rats alters vasoconstrictor and myogenic responsiveness of skeletal muscle arterioles. After either 2 wk of hindlimb unloading (HU) or cage control (C), second-order arterioles were isolated from the white portion of gastrocnemius (WG; C: n = 9, HU: n = 10) or soleus (Sol; C: n = 9, HU: n = 10) muscles and cannulate...
