BACKGROUND Women die of stroke more often than men. After menopause, the incidence of ischemic stroke increases rapidly. Elevated fibrinogen levels and smoking have been associated with an increased risk of stroke. In gene-cluster haplotype analyses, the beta-fibrinogen (FGB) promoter -455 G/A polymorphic locus was most strongly associated with elevated plasma fibrinogen levels. We investigated...

This study was designed to investigate whether plasma fibrinogen levels as well as the beta-fibrinogen -455 G/A genotype are associated with outcome after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) operation. We enrolled 249 consecutive CAD patients one day before they underwent a CABG operation. Data from 220 patients with available plasma fibrinogen levels were analyzed. The primary end-point was to...

Bacterial receiver domains modulate intracellular responses to external stimuli in two-component systems. Sma0114 is the first structurally characterized representative from the family of receiver domains that are substrates for histidine-tryptophan-glutamate (HWE) kinases. We report the NMR structure of Sma0114 bound by Ca(2+) and BeF3(-), a phosphate analogue that stabilizes the activated sta...

The paper discusses a number of issues concerning the practical usefulness of cognitive psychology research, and presents a ease study ofpilot training methods to illtistrate a model of research processes that produce; outcomes which contribute to both basic and applied 'research goars. ResearCh studies are described as varying in the -degree to which they include reviews of the literature, pre...

Lacking of treatment methods for the patients with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) underscores the pivotal needs to further understand its biology as well as to find better biomarkers and develop novel therapeutic strategies. Increasing evidences support that aberrantly expressed microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in tumorigenesis and may serve as biomarkers for diagnostic and prognostic purp...

Upregulation of the H3K4me3 demethylase JARID1B is linked to acquisition of aggressive, stem cell-like features by many cancer types. However, the utility of emerging JARID1 family inhibitors remains uncertain, in part because JARID1B's functions in normal development and malignancy are diverse and highly context-specific. In this study, responses of oral squamous cell carcinomas (OSCCs) to cat...
