Previous studies have indicated that situational context impacts the rapport experience (e.g., F. J. Bernieri, J. S. Gillis, J. M. Davis, & J. E. Grahe, 1996; N. M. Puccinelli, L. Tickle-Degnen, & R. Rosenthal, 2003). The authors designed the present study to further document the behavioral and experiential predictors of dyadic rapport and to evaluate dyadic rapport experiences when contributio...

Promoter methylation is one of the main epigenetic mechanisms that lead to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes during carcinogenesis. Due to the reversible nature of DNA methylation, many studies have been performed to correct theses epigenetic defects by inhibiting DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). In this case novel therapeutics especially siRNA oligonucleotides have been used to specifi...

p62, also called sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1), is a multifunctional signaling molecule that affects cell proliferation. Recently, we found accumulation of p62 in apocrine carcinoma of the breast, however, the biological role of p62 expression in apocrine carcinoma still remains unclear. To investigate whether p62 might contribute to tumor cell proliferation in apocrine carcinomas, we used the MDA-MB...

OBJECTIVE Documentation of the management of mass casualties in Tahrir Square. BACKGROUND We documented the sequences of our medical response to mass casualties in Tahrir Square between January 28, 2011, and February 4, 2011, at "Kasr El-Ainy" Cairo University Hospital, the largest hospital in the Middle East and the tertiary referral center for all hospitals in Egypt that happened to be the ...

Field experiments in 1992 and 1994 were conducted to determine the effect of Rotylenchulus reniformis, reniform nematode, on lint yield and fiber quality of 10 experimental breeding lines of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) in untreated plots or plots fumigated with 1,3-dichloropropene. Controls were La. RN 1032, a germplasm line possessing some resistance to R. reniformis, and Stoneville 453, a cul...

To investigate the effects of equol on cell cycle distribution and apoptosis in human breast cancer cells, we first determined the antiproliferative effects of various concentrations of equol (1 nM to 100 µM) on MCF-7 and MDA-MB-453 cells at 24, 48 or 72 h of exposure. Equol significantly inhibited proliferation in MDA-MB-453 cells in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In contrast, equol at low...

Food regulatory agencies advise against thawing frozen meat and poultry at room temperature. In this study, whole chickens (1,670 g) and ground beef (453 and 1,359 g) were inoculated with Salmonella serovars, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Staphylococcus aureus on the surface (all products) and in the center (ground beef). After freezing at -20 degrees C for 24 h, products were thawed at 22 or 3...

PSA is a 33-KDa serine protease that is produced predominantly by prostate epithelium. However, it has been shown that about 30-40% of female breast tumors produce PSA and its production is associated with the presence of estrogen and progesterone receptors. We have now developed a new tissue culture system to study PSA production in breast cancer and its association with prognostic factors...
