SC) is a characteristic type of SC with increased serum IgG4 levels and dense infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells with extensive fibrosis in the bile duct wall.1 IgG4-SC is now recognized within the spectrum of systemic IgG4-related diseases. IgG4-SC is well resolved by steroid therapy, which is a characteristic feature of IgG4-related disease. IgG4-SC is frequently associated with type ...

AIM Uncovering the influences of parents' behaviour on their children's physical activity provides an insight into the lifestyle of families and development of effective family-based interventions. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between parents' behaviour (step count (SC) and screen time (ST)) and children's SC on weekdays and at weekends. METHODS The participants (38...

Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) is a potent stimulant of smooth muscle cell (SMC) migration and proliferation and has been implicated in the development of experimental atherosclerotic lesions. Because optimal stimulation of SMC in vitro by IGF-I requires ligand occupancy of alphaVbeta3, these studies were conducted to determine whether alphaVbeta3 antagonists would result in a change in l...

abstract: mastitis is an inflammatory reaction of the mammary tissue in response to the introduction and multiplication of pathogens and is characterized by increasing somatic cell count (scc) in milk. the main objective of present study is to assess the probable associations between somatic cell (sc) levels and calcium and phosphorus and ratio of ca/p in raw milk. milk samples were collected f...

Introduction: Due to interesting therapeutic properties of 46Sc and antineoblastic antibiotic, bleomycin (BLM), 46Sc-bleomycin (46Sc-BLM) was developed as a possible therapeutic compound. Methods: In this work, Sc-46 chloride was obtained by thermal neutron flux (4 × 1013 n.cm-2.s-1) of natural metallic scandium sample followed ...

adsorption of cyanogen molecule on the surface of pristine and sc-doped b12n12 nanocage is scrutinized using at dft calculations to investigating its potential as chemical nanosensors. the results show that cyanogen is weakly adsorbed on the pristine b12n12 and consequently its electrical properties are changed insignificantly. in order to improve the properties of the nanocage sensor, sc dopin...

A total of 24 castrated male Creole were used for digestibility studies on three sugarcane (SC) products: final molasses, SC juice and ground SC. Digestibility of macronutrients were determined in three consecutive experimental trials between 35 and 60 kg BW. The first trial measured the effect of a constant rate of incorporation of those SC products in a control diet (23% on a dry matter (DM) ...
