Resumen El calicivirus felino (CVF) es uno de los principales patógenos infectivos que causan la enfermedad del tracto respiratorio superior en gatos (ETRS). Es un virus presentación común condiciones albergue o con acceso al exterior, el cuadro clínico está asociado sintomatología respiratoria, ulceraciones orales, secreción ocular y cojeras. objetivo este estudio fue determinar frecuencia ani...

Evidence suggests a large proportion of profitable U.S. firms have low effective tax rates (i.e., an ETR between 0 and 10%). Despite widespread interest in how avoid paying taxes, we do not know most attain ETRs whether they are primarily benefiting from benign or aggressive positions. Using research design that explicitly examines firms, predict find the majority position: net operating loss c...

Cells within the normal human colonic epithelium undergo a dynamic cycle of growth, differentiation, and death. The organotypic culture system of human fetal colonic epithelial cells seeded on top of collagen gels with embedded colonic fibroblasts allowed prolonged culture of the colonic epithelial cells (Kalabis J, Patterson MJ, Enders GM, Marian B, Iozzo RV, Rogler G, Gimotty PA, Herlyn M. FA...

This study was conducted to investigate the autophagic response of Sertoli cells (SCs) to acute ethanol toxicity using in vivo and in vitro models. Adult Wistar rats were intraperitoneally injected with either 5 g/kg ethanol or phosphate-buffered saline (for the control group) and sacrificed 0, 3, 6 and 24 h after injection. Compared to the control group, enhanced germ cell apoptosis was observ...

BACKGROUND/AIMS Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is a major comorbidity in patients with hemophilia. However, there are no published data on the efficacy of antiviral therapy in Korea. We assessed the safety and efficacy of combination therapy with peginterferon α-2a plus ribavirin for CHC in hemophilia. METHODS Patients (n=115) were enrolled between March 2007 and December 2008. Seventy-seven patie...

Long-lived shade leaves of avocado had extremely low rates of photosynthesis. Gas exchange measurements of photosynthesis were of limited use, so we resorted to Chl fluorescence imaging (CFI) and spot measurements to evaluate photosynthetic electron transport rates (ETRs) and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). Imaging revealed a remarkable transient heterogeneity of NPQ during photosynthetic in...

Dysfunctional mitochondria may produce excessive reactive oxygen species, thus inducing DNA damage, which may be oncogenic if not repaired. As a major role of the PINK1-Parkin pathway involves selective autophagic clearance of damaged mitochondria via a process termed mitophagy, Parkin-mediated mitophagy may be a tumor-suppressive mechanism. As an alternative mechanism for tumor inhibition beyo...

Coralline algae form abundant and ecologically important submerged aquatic vegetation habitats throughout the world. However, algal performance is threatened by climate change ocean acidification. Previous studies suggest that their photosynthetic will be compromised mainly at elevated temperatures. Understanding impact of diverse scenarios requires a clear thorough comprehension response to te...
