OBJECTIVES Keratocystic odontogenic tumors (KOTs), also known as odontogenic keratocysts, were recently classified as a benign neoplasia due to the aggressive clinical behavior. Although several studies have shown the high proliferative activity of the epithelial lining, few studies have evaluated apoptosis in KOTs. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate and compare the proliferation i...

This paper presents a combined control and modulation technique to enhance the power quality (PQ) reliability (PR) of hybrid energy system (HES) through single-phase 11-level cascaded H-bridge inverter (11-CHBI). The controller specifically regulate HES meet load demand. To track optimum power, Modified Perturb Observe (MP&O) is used for HES. Ultra-capacitor (UCAP) based storage device novel cu...

Tetrahymena species contain relatively prominent glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins as well as their putative precursor phosphatidylinositol (PI) glycans. We have characterized the lipid components of the two principal T. mimbres PI glycans. Following their purification by preparative TLC, the PI glycans were hydrolysed in methanolic HCl or NaOH, and resulting lipids were anal...

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme activity, GST isoenzyme composition and glutathione (GSH) concentration were assessed in normal and squamous cell carcinoma specimens of 14 patients with oral or oropharyngeal cancer and 11 patients with laryngeal cancer. Comparing malignant with normal oral/oropharyngeal tissues, no significant differences in GSH content, GST enzyme activity or isoenzyme ...

BACKGROUND Darunavir is considered to have a high genetic barrier to resistance. Most darunavir-associated drug resistance mutations (DRMs) have been identified through correlation of baseline genotype with virological response in clinical trials. However, there is little information on DRMs that are directly selected by darunavir in clinical settings. OBJECTIVES We examined darunavir DRMs em...

The $J/{\psi}$ weak decays are rare but possible within the standard model of elementary particles. Inspired by potential prospects at future intensity frontier, $C$ parity violating ${\to}$ ${\pi}{\eta}^{({\prime})}$, ${\eta}{\eta}^{\prime}$ and strangeness changing ${\pi}K$, $K{\eta}^{({\prime})}$ studied with perturbative QCD approach. It is found that have relatively large branching ratios,...

BACKGROUND We examined the prevalence of ritonavir-boosted darunavir (DRV) resistance-associated mutations (RAMs) in HIV-infected children in the UK to determine the drug's potential clinical utility as a first-line or second-line protease inhibitor (PI). METHODS The prevalence of DRV RAMs, identified from IAS 2010 and Stanford, and the Stanford susceptibility score, were estimated in PI-naiv...

OBJECTIVES To analyse HIV Gag cleavage site (CS) and non-CS mutations in HIV non-B isolates from patients failing antiretroviral therapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Twenty-one HIV isolates were obtained from patients infected with HIV subtype G during an outbreak in Russia 20 years ago. Most patients were failing antiretroviral therapy when genotyping was performed. RESULTS HIV Gag CS mutations a...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of increasing initial population density (Pi) of Meloidogyne incognita on nematode reproduction and growth of susceptible tomato (Lycopersicom esculentum cv. Round-41) at 25°C± 2 in growth chamber. 21-days-old tomato seedlings transplanted in13-cm dia. earthen pot was inoculated with Pi including 250, 500, 1000, 1500 eggs of M. incognita. Nema...
