During about 3 years wide field monitoring of the Galactic Centre region by the WFC telescopes on board the BeppoSAX satellite, a total of 14 type-I X-ray bursts were detected from the burster 1E 1724-3045 located in the globular cluster Terzan 2. All the observed events showed evidence of photospheric radius expansion due to Eddington-limit burst luminosity, thus leading to an estimate of the ...

there are several known and unknown factors for unexplained recurrent spontaneous abortion (ursa). among them, complement regulatory protein cd46 plays a pivotal role in preventing uncontrolled activation of complement and successful continuation of pregnancy. we aimed in this study to investigate the possible association of cd46 ivs1-1724 c>g polymorphism with rsa in iranian women. 141 women w...

The Portrait of Prince Yeonying was the official prince portrait, or yejin 睿眞, that commissioned by king. (1694~1776) attended to his portrait in person and used it as a statement power at junctures political career even after he ascended throne become King Yeogjo (r. 1724~1776). This paper tracks trajectory portraits acquiring new significance visual proclamation royal authority late Joseon. b...

The bronchial epithelium is a very important factor during the inflammatory response, it produces many key regulators involved in the pathophysiology of asthma and COPD. Local influx of eosinophils, basophils, Th2 lymphocytes and macrophages is the source of many cytotoxic proteins, cytokines and other mediators of inflammation. These cells are attracted by eotaxins (eotaxin-1/CCL11, eotaxin-2/...

We investigated the role of protein kinase A (PKA) in regulation of the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (HERG) potassium channel activation. HERG clones with single mutations destroying one of four consensus PKA phosphorylation sites (S283A, S890A, T895A, S1137A), as well as one clone carrying all mutations with no PKA phosphorylation sites (HERG 4M) were constructed. These clones were express...

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) represent a class of riboregulators that either directly act in long form or are processed to shorter miRNAs and siRNAs. Emerging evidence shows that lncRNAs participate in stress responsive regulation. In this study, to identify the putative maize lncRNAs responsive to drought stress, 8449 drought responsive transcripts were first uploaded to the Coding Potential...
