background: ct scan and nuclear medicine exams deliver a great part of medical exposures. this study examined professional radiation hazards in ct scan and nuclear medicine workers.   methods : in a cross sectional study 30 occupationally exposed workers and 7 controls (all from personnel of a laboratory) were selected. physical dosimetry was performed for exposed workers. blood samples were ob...

Выяснение этиопатогенеза аномального фенотипа у пациентов со сбалансированными транслокациями является актуальным аспектом в современной клинической цитогенетике. Формирование аномалий развития может быть ассоциировано с наличием скрытого геномного дисбаланса как точках разрывов, так и на хромосомах, не задействованных перестройке. Целью данного исследования явилась этиологическая диагностика п...

To examine the interplay among Gratitude to God (GTG) and daily life experiences affect, we conducted a 14-day diary study in national US sample of 184 adults. GTG minimally fluctuated across days. People who experienced more uplifts had relative both their own baseline others study, while those hassles less baseline. Trait (but not religiousness) buffered these associations. Specifically, trai...

Circulating leptin levels are strongly related to the degree of adiposity, with hyperleptinemia being associated with hyperinsulinemia. In the gold thioglucose-injected mouse (GTG), hyperinsulinemia is an early abnormality in the development of insulin resistance and obesity. In this study, hyperinsulinemia occurred 1 wk post-GTG [GTG, 199 ± 43; age-matched controls (CON), 53 ± 5 μU/ml; P < 0.0...

We demonstrated a germline p53 replication error in two generations of a Li-Fraumeni family affected with liposarcoma, adrenocortical carcinoma, and osteosarcoma. The trinucleotide repeat mutation changed 5'-AGT GTG GTG GTG-3' at codons 215-218 to 5'-AGT TGG TTG GTG GTG-3'. The predicted protein would be elongated by one amino acid (val216-->trp leu) without a change in charge. Detection of p53...
