Manipulation of endogenous progesterone receptor (PR) does not produce equivalent physiological effects in mouse and rat pituitary cells. To test whether this may be due in part to difference in PR isoform expression, we examined hormonally regulated pituitary PR-A and PR-B mRNA levels using quantitative real-time PCR. The LbetaT2 mouse gonadotrope line or pituitary cells from adult, ovariectom...

Hexagonal mesoporous silica (SBA-15) was prepared and then functionalized by(3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane. The obtained 3-mercaptopropyl functionalized SBA-15 (SBA-Pr-SH) was then oxidized using H2O2 in methanol under an acidic condition to give sulfonic acid functionalized mesoporous silica (SBA-Pr-SO3H). Th...

Background: Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a common papulosquamousskin disorder that is suspected to have an infectious etiology.We aimed to study the role of human herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6) inthe pathogenesis of PR.Method: We used immunohistochemical (IHC) assays to detectHHV-6 in patients with PR. Fifty-one patients with PR and 35 ageand sex matched healthy control samples were enrolled in thestudy. Th...

1 pi − 2 j+1 > 7pr − 4pr > pr . If r is odd, set nk = ∏r1 pi − 2k+1. Then nk ≡ 3(4) (since 32 ≡ 1(4)). But no pi divides nk for 1 ≤ i ≤ r , so the integer nk has some prime factor qk ≡ 3(4) with qk > pr . If j = k, say j > k, the assumption that qk also divides n j leads to the same contradiction as earlier: since nk − n j = 2 j+1 − 2k+1 = 2k+1(2 j−k − 1), we have qk | 2 j−k − 1 and hence qk < ...

Tripodal pyrrole imine and amide ligands provide platforms for combined primary and secondary coordination sphere interactions in square planar Pd and Cu, and octahedral Ti complexes.

background and objective: determination of hormone receptor status in the management of breast cancer is well-established. the aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of androgen receptor (ar) expression in invasive ductal carcinoma of breast. materials and methods: for this purpose, 55 cases of invasive ductal breast carcinoma were examined using a monoclonal antibody against ar on for...

The putative three-coordinate Ir(i) PNP(Pr(i)) (PNP(Pr(i)) = [N{2-P(CHMe(2))(2)-4-MeC(6)H(3)}(2)](-)) pincer complex decarbonylates ethanol to yield methane, hydrogen and [PNP(Pr(i))]Ir(CO). The mechanism involves the isolable trans-[PNP(Pr(i))]Ir(H)(Me)(CO), which is susceptible to photochemical reductive elimination of methane.
