Anthocyanin pigments play many roles in plants, including providing protection against biotic and abiotic stresses. Many of the genes that mediate anthocyanin accumulation have been identified through studies of flowers and fruits; however, the mechanisms of genes involved in anthocyanin regulation in seedlings under low-temperature stimulus are less well understood. Genetic characterization of...

In Secret Handshakes (SH) and Affiliation-Hiding Authenticated Key Exchange (AH-AKE) schemes, users become group members by registering with Group Authorities (GAs) and obtaining membership credentials. Group members then use their membership credentials to privately authenticate each other and communicate securely. The distinguishing privacy property of SH and AH-AKE is that parties learn each...

Recent studies have demonstrated that bovine and primate aqueous humor (AH) obstruct flow when perfused through artificial membranes with pore sizes similar to those found in the aqueous outflow pathway. Proteinaceous AH components were implicated in this phenomenon, which is not observed with serum diluted to comparable protein concentrations. In this study, we used two-dimensional gel electro...

BACKGROUND Alcoholic hepatitis (AH) has a severe prognosis due to hepatic inflammatory injury. The cytokine interleukin-22 (IL-22) is reported to exert anti-apoptotic and proliferative effects, but IL-22 has not been studied during the course of AH. IL-22 is mainly produced by CD4(+) (helper) T cells, including Th17 cells. In addition, Th17 cells produce the proinflammatory cytokine IL-17A, whi...

Abstract Aim Informed consent requires all material risks to be discussed, as per Montgomery vs Lanarkshire 2015. This audit was based on the latest RCS England guidelines consenting patients. We aimed assess our adherence and introduce standardised procedure-specific stickers ensure highest standards of care, which were reproducible. Method undertook two retrospective case note reviews patient...

BACKGROUND The epidemiology of acute alcoholic pancreatitis (AP), chronic alcoholic pancreatitis (CP), acute alcoholic hepatitis (AH), and chronic alcoholic hepatitis with cirrhosis (CH) alone or in combination is not well described. To better understand alcohol-related liver and pancreas effects on and associations with different ethnic groups and sexes, we analyzed the trends of AP, CP, AH, C...

OBJECTIVE Idiopathic hypercalciuria is characterised by renal stone formation and vertebral osteoporosis. The syndrome displays high clinical variability with patients almost equally distributed between fasting or renal type (prevalent calcium loss) and absorptive type (prevalent increase of intestinal absorption). Absorptive hypercalciuria (AH) is characterised by hypersensitivity of calcium-s...
