Although transcriptional induction of stress genes constitutes a major cellular defense program against a variety of stressors, posttranslational control directly regulating the activities of preexisting stress proteins provides a faster-acting alternative response. We propose that posttranslational control is a general adaptive mechanism operating in many stress pathways. Here with the aid of ...

conclusion according to the results of our series, percutaneous liver biopsy using the tru-cut biopsy gun guided by ultrasonography can be performed safely. we resolve that routine ultrasound of the puncture site is a quick, effective and safe procedure. the complication rate is very low. the us-assisted percutaneous liver biopsy should be used for all cases. results a total of 1018 patients we...

A stress questionnaire was developed and administered to employees and students participating in a stress program. The questionnaire consists of three components: stressful conditions, stress symptoms, and measures used to relax. The present study focused on the validation of the stressful conditions portion. Factor analysis demonstrated that the questionnaire had three meaningful factors. Base...

Understanding the basal gut bacterial community structure and the host metabolic composition is pivotal for the interpretation of laboratory treatments designed to answer questions pertinent to host-microbe interactions. In this study, we report for the first time the underlying gut microbiota and systemic metabolic composition in BALB/c mice during the acclimatisation period. Our results showe...

Early life events can change biochemical, endocrine and behavioral aspects throughout the life of an animal. Since there is a strong relationship between stress, neonatal handling and feeding behavior, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of these three factors on behavioral parameters (anxiety and locomotion), oxidative stress in brain structures (prefrontal cortex and hippocam...
