In an attempt to clarify the function of the suboccipital muscles, we performed morphological observation of the suboccipital muscles for variations in the muscle belly and compared the morphology of their muscle fibers in terms of cross-sectional area by immunostaining with anti-myosin heavy chain antibodies. The cadavers of 25 Japanese individuals were used: 22 for morphological examinations ...

The present study examined a correlation between CXC chemokine ligand 16 (CXCL16) and cell differentiation antigen 99 (CD99) expression and investigated the role of CXCL16 in human lymphoma cell lines and clinical samples. Cytokine antibody arrays were used to measure the differentially expressed cytokines in tumor tissues. The expression of CXCL16 and CD99 was analyzed by quantitative PCR (qPC...

Introduction: The activated B-cell (ABC) type of diffuse large lymphoma (DLBCL) is associated with poor response to second line therapy and characterized by constitutive activation the NF-κB pathway. MALT1 a central signaling molecule which promotes via dual protease scaffold functions. Clinical interest focuses on allosteric inhibitors, one being tested in phase I trial, however this approach ...

The evaluation of transgenic plants which is usually carried out under controlled conditions in culture rooms and greenhouses can yield valuable information about the influence of introduced genes on a transgenic plant phenotype. However, an overall assessment of plant performance can only be made by testing transgenic plants in the field environment. Thus, the effects of pyramided rice cystati...

Objective: The present study was designed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Brazilian Portuguese version of the ObsessiveCompulsive Inventory – Revised. Method: The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory – Revised was administered toa total of 260 participants: a clinical sample of 130 patients with anxiety disorders (64 with a diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder patients, 33 diagno...

The CORBA layer in a distributed system hides the heterogeneity of the underlying computer network. The interactions of objects located at different computing systems are described in terms of IDL specifications and the ORB takes care of the actual transfer of messages along the wire. In fact, an object interaction is translated into the transfer of GIOP messages over TCP/IP networks (IIOP). Th...

The human bladder cancer cell line MGH-U1 (also designated T-24 or EJ) contains an activated c-Ha-ras oncogene, which is amplified as compared to normal human fibroblasts. We have generated sublines from the MGH-U1 cell line: the MGH-U1/OCI subline was generated by dissociating spheroids formed from MGH-U1 cells; the U1-m/F1 and OCI-m/F1 were generated by in vivo passage of experimental lung me...

In an effort to counter hate speech, media platforms have increasingly come rely on ordinary users fight abusive content. However, little is known about the predictors of this type user engagement, which we refer as online civic intervention (OCI). This article presents experimental inquiry (N = 337) into whether solidarity citizenship norms promote OCI. The results show that who support tend a...

The teaching experience of the revised simplex method in matrix notation on the blackboard leads us to prepare a visualization alternative, useful for the constituting part of the education liturgy. According to our approach the educator does not spend anymore valuable time on boring calculations while the student understands complex mathematical concepts. Our courseware has unique features lik...

The circulation in a shallow lagoon–inlet–coastal ocean system is significant to material transports (e.g., debris, pollutants, and larvae). To study surface flows this system, we deployed 35 drifters at various tidal phases wind conditions during 2017 2018 the Maryland Coastal Bays (MCBs). Given that winds tides are two important drivers of estuarine coastal circulation, their influences on dr...
