Transglutaminase (TG) activity is increased in the mucosa of patients with coeliac disease. Among 18 patients with untreated coeliac disease we have found a significant decrease (p less than 0.001) in serum levels of TG activity (0.72 (0.23) mU/ml). There was no significant differences between 16 treated coeliacs (1.24 (0.28) mU/ml) and 30 normal controls (1.63 (0.42) mU/ml). To evaluate the co...

Abstract Seismic bottom simulating reflections (BSR) analysis and seismic inversion are commonly used for gas hydrate reservoir interpretation. The relationship between saturation elastic parameters can be influenced by occurrence state (e.g. pore-filling type or load-bearing hydrate), this may cause inaccurate We first the simplified three-phase Biot equation (STPBE) to model a formation conta...

Let $$X_N$$ be an N-dimensional subspace of $$L_2$$ functions on a probability space $$(\Omega , \mu )$$ spanned by uniformly bounded Riesz basis $$\Phi _N$$ . Given integer $$1\le v\le N$$ and exponent p\le 2$$ we obtain universal discretization for the integral norms $$L_p(\Omega ,\mu from collection all subspaces v elements with number m required points satisfying $$m\ll v(\log N)^2(\log v)^...

Two classes of paralytic toxins were isolated from the venom of Agelenopsis aperta and their chemical and larvicidal properties characterized. Five acylpolyamine toxins (alpha-agatoxins) of molecular masses 452, 488, 489, 504, and 505 Da produce immediate but reversible paralysis in Manduca sexta following injection. Six insecticidal peptides (mu-agatoxins) produce a gradual but irreversible pa...

Using the Zhu algebra for a certain category of $\mathbb{C}$-graded vertex algebras $V$, we prove that if $V$ is finitely $\Omega$-generated and satisfies suitable grading conditions, then rational, i.e. has semi-simple representation theory, with one dimensional level zero algebra. Here $\Omega$ denotes vectors in are annihilated by lowering real part grading. We apply our result to family ran...

Mono-, di-, and trinuclear copper-azido moieties have been synthesized by varying the size of the countercations. [Bu4N]+ yielded a [Cu2(N3)6]2- copper-azido moiety in [Bu4N]2[Cu2(mu(1,1)-N3)2(N3)4], 1, and [Pr4N]+ yielded a [Cu3(N3)8]2- moiety in {[Pr4N]2[Cu3(mu(1,1)-N3)4(N3)4]}n, 2, in which symmetry-related [Cu3(N3)8]2- moieties are doubly mu(1,1)-azido bridged to form unprecedented infinite...

Flow cytometric analysis of antigen-specific, idiotype-positive (id+), B cell development in transgenic mice expressing a rearranged M167-mu gene shows that large numbers of phosphocholine (PC)-specific, M167-id+ B cells develop in the spleen and bone marrow of these mice. Random rearrangement of endogenous V kappa genes, in the absence of a subsequent receptor-driven selection, should give ris...

Sestra má v nemocničním paliativním týmu nezastupitelnou roli. Je koordinátorem péče o nemocné dítě, doprovází rodiče a další příbuzné po celou dobu protinádorové léčby pacienta pravidelně navštěvuje rámci vizit na oddělení. V její kompetenci je též aktivně vyhledávat pacienty rodiny, kteří by z paliativního mohli profitovat. Cílem příspěvku poukázat ex...

Abstract In the paper we prove weighted Hardy type inequality $$\begin{aligned} \int _{{{\mathbb {R}}}^N}V\varphi ^2 \mu (x)dx\le _{\mathbb {R}^N}|\nabla \varphi |^2\mu (x)dx +K\int {R}^N}\varphi ^2\mu (x)dx, \end{aligned}$$ ∫ R </mml:mrow...
