PURPOSE Identifying among nephroblastoma those with a high propensity for distant metastases using cell cycle markers: cyclin E as a regulator of progression through the cell cycle and Ki-67 as a tumor proliferation marker, since both are often deregulated in many human malignancies. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS A staining index (SI) was obtained by immunohistochemistry using anti-cyclin E ...

The current literature on solid oxide fuel cell and internal combustion engine (SOFC-ICE) integration is focused the application of advanced technologies operating as bottoming cycles to generate a small load share. This approach can pose challenges for ships such restricted dynamic capabilities large space weight requirements. Furthermore, potential SOFC-ICE marine power generation has not bee...

Abstract The microbiological characteristics of fresh shrimps during storage in ice (FSPI) (1–4.5 °C) and at ambient temperature (FSKAT) (27.5–29.5 was evaluated Beninese selling market conditions to assess hygiene shrimp safety artisanal preservation practices. Furthermore, samples FSPI FSKAT sold the retail markets were collected analyzed using bacteriological physicochemical methods. accepta...

The pro-Th2 cytokine IL-33 is now emerging as an important Th1 cytokine-IFN-γ inducer in murine CD4(+) T cells that is essential for protective cell-mediated immunity against viral infection in mice. However, whether IL-33 can promote human Th1 cell differentiation and how IL-33 polarizes Th1 cells is less understood. We assessed the ability of IL-33 to induce Th1 cell differentiation and IFN-γ...

Endosymbionts influence many aspects of their hosts' health conditions, including physiology, development, immunity, metabolism, etc. Tree shrews (Tupaia belangeri chinensis) have attracted increasing attention in modeling human diseases and therapeutic responses due to their close relationship with primates. To clarify the situation of symbiotic bacteria from their body surface, oral cavity, a...

Decision making is impacted by uncertainty and risk (i.e., variance). Activity in the orbitofrontal cortex, an area implicated in decision making, covaries with these quantities. However, this activity could reflect the heightened salience of situations in which multiple outcomes-reward and reward omission-are expected. To resolve these accounts, rats were trained to respond to cues predicting ...

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the clinical characteristics, pristine diagnosis and the effect of therapy of Herpes simplex virus encephalitis (HSE) in children and discuss the factors influencing the prognosis and in pristine diagnosis. Method: Thirty-six patients were enrolled into this study if they were diagnosed as having encephalitis and also had positive polymerase chain reaction...
