background: cytogenetic analysis, y-chromosome microdeletion screening, fish techniques and other genetic methods have helped in finding the causes of infertility in azoospermic or severe oligoazoospermic cases in the last decade. objective: in the present study, we characterized an abnormal y-chromosome, detected as a mosaic in an azoospermic male ascertained for infertility. materials and met...

A high vacuum and temperature compatible viewing dump, made of MACOR, was designed installed in TCV for Vertical ECE experiments the 75–110 GHz frequency range. Measurements dump prior to installation tokamak showed more than 99% absorption incoming radiation. The has remained in-vessel 7 years, protected from direct plasma exposure by carbon tiles. However it still been exposed boron depositio...

Gamers like to socially interact with other players and show off their avatar whenever it is conceivable in performance appearance. This study aimed develop a new construct—“Celebrity Avatar”—based on the celebrity endorsement model player-avatar identification theory add value survey using of consumption (TCV) as mediating role. As we know, positive influence consumer behavioral decisions, so ...

introduction: the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities was investigated in untransfered embryos reuslted from in vitro fertilization (ivf) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (icsi) procedures. materials and methods: a total of 238 embryos of varying morphology between the pronucleated stage and 8-cells were analysed. the cytogenetic method of dyban was used for chromosome preparation. embryo...

This study is an extended clinical trial of the one initiated and reported in the Journal of Clinical Virology 2004;31S:S48-54. Thirteen HIV-1 patients (eight subtype B and five subtype C) that manifested T-cell autoimmunity to recombinant human CD4 (rCD4) were treated with T-cell vaccine composed of glutaraldehyde-treated autologous anti-CD4 reactive T-cells and compared to historical seven no...

The use of native promoters to drive transgene expression has facilitated overexpression studies in Drosophila and other insects. We identified 12 Tubulin family members from the genome sequence of the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneum, and used the promoter from one of these to drive constitutive expression of a transgene. The activity of the T. castaneum alpha-Tubulin1 (TcalphaTub1) putat...

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common malignant neoplasm of the thyroid. Majority of the PTC carries an excellent prognosis. However, patients with tall cell variant (TCV) of papillary thyroid carcinoma have a worse prognosis than those with the classic variant. On the other hand, squamous cell carcinoma of the thyroid (SCT) is an unusual neoplasm thought to arise as a primary tu...

Turnip crinkle virus (TCV) can be dissociated under mild conditions, yielding dimers of the protein subunit, as shown by chemical cross-linking and by gel filtration. These dimers have defined regions of proteolytic sensitivity, correDeterminat ion of the complete three-dimensional structure of tomato bushy stunt virus (TBSV) has revealed a number of remarkable features with implications for me...
