Figura 1 A imagem de tomografia computorizada no plano axial após contraste endovenoso mostra uma lesão lipomatosa pericólica com halo hiperatenuante (seta) e ligeira densificação de partes moles locorregional. Não foi apreciado espessamento da parede do cólon (asterisco). Figura 2 A reconstrução coronal mostra o apêndice epiplóico inflamado (seta) com hiperdensidade linear central, provavelmen...

Implementing modular distance learning (MDL) in the Philippines remains problematic. We review studies on printed MDL to create themes for its enhanced implementation. A meta-synthesis of qualitative was executed, and a comprehensive search Google Scholar conducted. thematic synthesis performed, revealing four presences enhance implementation MDL, such as: structural; community; intervention; q...

An irreversible inhibitor of S-adenosyl-L-methionine decarboxylase (AdoMetDC), 5'-([(Z)-4-amino-2-butenyl]methylamino)-5'-deoxyadenosine (MDL 73811), was found to cure Trypanosoma brucei brucei and multidrug-resistant T. b. rhodesiense infections in mice [Bitonti, Byers, Bush, Casara, Bacchi, Clarkson, McCann & Sjoerdsma (1990) Antimicrob. Agents Chemother. 34, 1485-1490]. Doses of this drug wh...

The pathogenic roles of myeloid DAP12-associating lectin-1(MDL-1) and DAP12 in human rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain unknown. Frequencies of MDL-1-expressing monocytes in 22 active RA patients, 16 inactive RA patients, 12 osteoarthritis (OA) patients and 10 healthy controls (HC) were determined by flow-cytometry analysis. The mRNA expression levels of MDL-1 and DAP12 on PBMCs were evaluated by...

Calpain 1 (CPN1) is a ubiquitous cysteine protease that exists in both cytosol and cardiac mitochondria. Mitochondrial CPN1 (mit-CPN1) is located in the intermembrane space and matrix. Activation of mit-CPN1 within the intermembrane space increases cardiac injury by releasing apoptosis-inducing factor from mitochondria during ischemia-reperfusion (IR). We asked if activation of mit-CPN1 is invo...

In C. elegans, increased lifespan in daf-2 insulin/IGF-1 receptor mutants is accompanied by up-regulation of the MDL-1 Mad basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor. Here we describe the role of mdl-1 in C. elegans germline proliferation and aging. The deletion allele mdl-1(tm311) shortened lifespan, and did so significantly more so in long-lived daf-2 mutants implying that mdl...

In this paper, we discuss the difference in code lengths between the code based on the minimum description length (MDL) principle (the MDL code) and the Bayes code under the condition that the same prior distribution is assumed for both codes. It is proved that the code length of the Bayes code is smaller than that of the MDL code by (1) or (1) for the discrete model class and by (1) for the pa...

MDL 29311 is an antioxidant that lowers plasma triglycerides and raises high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in rats. It lowers triglycerides in rats by enhancing the clearance of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) by the liver (Sheetz, M. J., et al. 1994. Metabolism. 43: 232-240). In this paper, the possibility that MDL 29311 enhances VLDL clearance by altering the apolipoprotein (apo) ...
