Expression of nuclear angiotensin II type 1 (AT(1)) receptors in rat kidney provides further support for the concept of an intracellular renin-angiotensin system. Thus we examined the cellular distribution of renal ANG II receptors in sheep to determine the existence and functional roles of intracellular ANG receptors in higher order species. Receptor binding was performed using the nonselectiv...

Observations of 1 to 20 MeV/nuc oxygen, sodium, and sulfur ions in the Jovian magnetosphere are reported. Measurements made by the cosmic ray subsystem on Voyager 1 and 2 are used to calculate abundances and energy spectra in the region from 5 to 20 Jovian radii (R j). The phase space density of the oxygen ions calculated from the spectra has a positive radial gradient between 6 and 17 R j, ind...

methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (mrsa) is the main cause of hospital infection emerged over the last decades. rapid detection of mrsa is important for patient care and proper usage of infection control. detection of meca genes (encoding resistance to methicillin and other similar antibiotics) and nuc genes (encoding staphylococcal thermostable nuclease) by pcr method is now consider...

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive, round-shaped bacterium that member of the Firmicutes. It often positive for catalase and nitrate reduction. Pathogenic strains promote infections by producing virulence factors such as potent protein toxins, expression cell-surface binds inactivates antibodies. Sepsis-related to methicillin-resistant S. (MRSA) has significant morbidity high mortality ra...

Background. COVID-19 infection keeps changing our understanding of its clinical course when associated with various somatic diseases. Objective. To present a case patient non-specific ulcerative colitis (NUC) and infection. Material methods: medical documentation, general clinical, laboratory instrumental data as well histological examination bioptates stained hematoxylin eosin that were obtain...

We report on the performance of a recently developed algorithm for which a limited form of black-body-based calibration is integrated into a special algebraic scenebased algorithm for nonuniformity correction (NUC) in infrared focal-plane arrays. The result of this integration is a scene-based NUC algorithm that is radiometrically accurate. By calibrating only those detectors that are on the ar...

We calculate the spin-dependent polarizability of the nucleon in the Skyrme model. The result is compared with that of a heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory(HBChPT), and is shown to be the same as that of HBChPT up to the ∆-pole terms in the narrow width limit of the ∆ state and with the experimental physical constants. The effect of the ∆+π channel is rather small and is numerically quite ...

FAN1 is a structure-selective DNA repair nuclease with 5' flap endonuclease activity, involved in the repair of interstrand DNA crosslinks. It is the only eukaryotic protein with a virus-type replication-repair nuclease ("VRR-Nuc") "module" that commonly occurs as a standalone domain in many bacteria and viruses. Crystal structures of three representatives show that they structurally resemble H...

The nuc- lesion affecting alkaline exonuclease activity in the herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) mutant ts1348 had previously been mapped to the EcoRI-D restriction enzyme fragment of HSV-1. Eight clones with deletions representing most of HSV-1 EcoRI fragment D were selected with lambda gtWES hybrids. These clones were tested for their ability to rescue the alkaline exonuclease activity of H...
