Mycobacterium sp. YC-RL4 is capable of utilizing a broad range of phthalic acid esters (PAEs) as sole source of carbon and energy for growth. The preliminary studies demonstrated its high degrading efficiency and good performance during the bioprocess with environmental samples. Here, we present the complete genome of Mycobacterium sp. YC-RL4, which consists of one circular chromosome (5,801,41...

1. The major hepatic glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) from gerbil, guinea-pig, hamster, mouse and rat comprise Ya- (Mr 25,500-25,800), Yb- (Mr 26,100-26,400), Yc- (Mr 27,000-27,500) and Yf- (Mr 24,800) type subunits. 2. In all rodent species the GST subunits possess characteristic affinities for S-hexyglutathione-Sepharose and are eluted at distinct positions when a gradient of counter-ligand ...

Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 plays a key role in tumor promotion by inducing f60 genes required for tumor adaptation to hypoxia; thus, it is viewed as a target for cancer therapy. For this reason, YC-1, which downregulates HIF-1A and HIF-2A at the post-translational level, is being developed as a novel anticancer drug. We here found that YC-1 acts in a novel manner to inhibit HIF-1. In the ...

background: due to the continuous use and also the individual’s different health conditions that use the service, swimming pools may be a suitable place to transfer different types of diseases. it has always been a serious concern from the health point of view. methods: in this descriptive study, the sampling was conducted as non- probable purposive. isfahan health center number 1 including 19 ...

background: infections are readily transmitted as a result of bacterial contamination of swimming pools. therefore, hygiene and preventing the contamination of swimming pools is of particular importance. the objective of this study was to determine the amount of bacterial contamination in indoor pools of yazd in 2013. methods: in this descriptive and analytical study, all indoor swimming pools ...

Background: Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1 ), a component of HIF-1, is expressed in human tumors and renders cells able to survive and grow under hypoxic (lowoxygen) conditions. YC-1, 3-(5 -hydroxymethyl-2 -furyl)-1benzylindazole, an agent developed for circulatory disorders that inhibits platelet aggregation and vascular contraction, inhibits HIF-1 activity in vitro. We tested whether...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to determine whether long-term exercise training will improve age-related cardiac metabolic derangement using proton magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Young and old male Fischer 344 rats were assigned to sedentary controls groups {young control (YC) group-3 months of age: YC, n=10; old control (OC) group-22 mo...

Container terminal (CT) operations are often bottlenecked by slow YC (yard crane) movements. Efficient YC scheduling to reduce the PM waiting time is therefore critical in increasing a CT’s throughput. This paper develops an efficient continuous time MILP model for YC scheduling. The model treats realistic operational constraints such as multiple inter-crane interference, fixed YC separation di...

In this study, we examined associations between pancreatic cancer that met the Yonsei criteria (YC) and classifications from the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system. Clinicopathological and survival data were collected from132 patients who underwent distal pancreatectomy for left-sided pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma between January 2000 and December 201...

We studied genotype by environment interaction (G × E) for body weight (BW) of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) from the National cod breeding program in Norway. Records of 13,811 fish in a nucleus farm (NUC) and two test farms (PENorth, PESouth) in year-class (YC) 2007, and for 9149 fish in NUC and one test farm in YC 2010 were available. Heterogeneity of variances and heritabilities ( ) were es...
