We studied interobserver variability in the proportions of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive results for atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) and atypical squamous cells, cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC-H) diagnoses among 5 pathologists from the me laboratory during a 2-year period. These proportions were compared with individual patholog...

The major transport systems for the uptake of neutral amino acids in mammalian cells have been designated A, ASC, and L.’,’ The transport systems and their regulation have been characterized in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) System A is sodium-dependent, subject to trans-inhibition, and serves for the uptake of amino acids with short, polar, or linear side chains. System ASC is also sodium depende...

Iron-containing proteins catalyze lipid peroxidation when combined with either H2O2 or ascorbic acid (ASC). Microsomal membranes were prepared from Day 13 endometrial and conceptus tissues (5 pigs) and from Day 30 endometrial, placental, fetal liver, and fetus minus fetal liver tissues (5 pigs). Microsomal membranes were subjected to the following in vitro treatments: 1) no treatment, 2) 50 mic...

The ascorbate-glutathione (ASC-GSH) cycle has an important role in defensive processes against oxidative damage generated by drought stress. In this study, the changes that take place in apoplastic and symplastic ASC-GSH cycle enzymes of the leaf and petiole were investigated under drought stress causing leaf rolling in Ctenanthe setosa (Rose.) Eichler (Marantaceae). Apoplastic and symplastic e...

Injection of an Ascaris suum extract (Asc) affects both the humoral and cellular immune responses to unrelated antigens when it is co-administered with these antigens. In the present study we evaluated the effect of Asc on macrophage activation in the early phase of Mycobacterium bovis BCG (Pasteur strain TMCC 1173) infection in C57Bl/6 mice. C57Bl/6 mice were injected intraperitoneally (ip) wi...

Adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) of the lung is an unusual histology type in non-small-cell lung cancers. Due to its rarity, the clinicopathological characteristics and survival outcomes of the lung ASC are incompletely understood. We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to enroll 203,208 eligible patients, including 4,245 ASC, 124,253 adenocarcinoma (ADC) and 74,71...

Objective: The high number of smear tests has a workload on pathologists/cytopathologists, which raises the concern for quality diagnoses. application high-risk human papillomavirus (hr-HPV) analyses with PAP begun to contribute clinical practice. In this study, we aimed show effect hr-HPV analysis results via atypical squamous cell/squamous intraepithelial lesion (ASC/SIL) ratio standards. Mat...

Recently, ascorbate (ASC) concentration and the activity of a number of enzymes from the ASC metabolism have been proven to correlate with differences in growth or cell cycle progression. Here, a possible correlation between growth and the activity of a plasma membrane dehydroascorbate (DHA) transporter was investigated. Protoplasts were isolated from a tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Bright Yellow...
