Tissue-specific heterogeneity among mammalian acetylcholinesterases (AChE) has been associated with 3' alternative splicing of the primary AChE gene transcript. We have previously demonstrated that human AChE DNA encoding the brain and muscle AChE form and bearing the 3' exon E6 (ACHE-E6) induces accumulation of catalytically active AChE in myotomes and neuromuscular junctions (NMJs) of 2- and ...

The phase diagram of the ternary system Sr/Mo/O has been determined at a temperature of 1000°C. Powder samples of the ternary compounds SrM o04, Sr3M o06, SrMo03, Sr2M o04 and SrMo50 8 were prepared by solid state reactions. The thermochemical data of all ternary compounds were determined.oA new compound, Sr3Mo20 7, with a layered perovskite structure (a = 3.967(1), c = 20.588(5) A, I4/mmm) was...

Few thorough comparisons of the systemic effects of inhaled corticosteroids in children are available. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of budesonide and fluticasone propionate on short-term lower leg growth. Fluticasone propionate, budesonide and placebo were administered for 2 weeks in a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, cross-over design. Twenty four children aged 6-12 y...

OBJECTIVES (1) To evaluate the intraobserver agreement related to image interpretation and (2) to compare the accuracy of 100%, 200% and 400% zoomed digital images in the detection of simulated periodontal bone defects. METHODS Periodontal bone defects were created in 60 pig hemi-mandibles with slow-speed burs 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm and 3.0 mm in diameter. 180 standardized digital rad...

In this study, Nd1.6Ca0.4Ni1?yCuyO4+?-based electrode materials for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs) are investigated. Materials of the series (y = 0–0.4) obtained by pyrolysis glycerol-nitrate compositions. The study crystal structure and high-temperature stability in air under low oxygen partial pressure atmospheres performed using high-resolution neutron situ X-ray ...

Combined QM/MM calculations of an activesite of Cytochrome P450cam have been performed, before and after a binding process of Cytochrome P450cam to Putidaredoxin. The calculations have been carried out for two coordination spheres of the heme active-site of Cytochrome P450cam, namely a 5-coordinated, and a 6coordinated system of this protein having a water molecule as a 6th ligand. An experimen...

Ferrofluid instabilities in DC magnetic fields for an Isopar-M based ferrofluid with saturation magnetization of about 400 Gauss. a) 1200 Gauss 5 mm diameter magnet behind small ferrofluid droplet surrounded by propanol to prevent ferrofluid wetting of 1 mm gap glass plates; Peak pattern with magnetic field perpendicular to ferrofluid layer. The peaks initiate in a hexagonal array when the magn...
