OBJECTIVES We aimed to investigate the relationship between myocardial performance index (MPI) and severity of coronary artery disease, as assessed by the Gensini score (GS), in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). METHODS Ninety patients with an initial diagnosis of NSTEMI were enrolled in our study. They were divided into tertiles according to the GS: low G...

Gs protein is a shorter, soluble form of the viral G protein of vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) lacking the membrane-anchoring domain. Production of Gs protein appears to be a general property of VSV because infection of BHK-21 cells by five different isolates of the VSV serotype Indiana led in all cases to the synthesis of Gs protein. Moreover, it is formed in a variety of eucaryotic cell lin...

Generalized synchronization (GS) of two chaotic systems is a generalization of identical synchronization. Usually, the manifold of GS is much more complex than the driven system and the driving system. In this paper, we study a special case of GS in which the synchronization manifold is linear (linear GS for short). In a theorem, we present the necessary and sufficient conditions under which a ...

Ion-exchange chromatography of extracts derived from Chlorella sorokiniana mutant strain (oxygen resistant) yielded two separate activity peaks of glutamine synthetase (GS). GS(I) and GS(II) were purified 220- and 187-fold and have molecular weights of approximately 398,000 and 360,000, respectively. Both enzymes are composed of eight identical subunits with a subunit molecular weight of 47,000...

Glycogen content and contraction strongly regulate glycogen synthase (GS) activity, and the aim of the present study was to explore their effects and interaction on GS phosphorylation and kinetic properties. Glycogen content in rat epitrochlearis muscles was manipulated in vivo. After manipulation, incubated muscles with normal glycogen [NG; 210.9 +/- 7.1 mmol/kg dry weight (dw)], low glycogen ...

One hundred and eighty gestational sac (GS) measurements by ultrasound echography were performed on 132 healthy pregnant women with an accurate gestational age of between five and twelve weeks. Their prenatal courses were uneventful and they delivered of babies appropriate for dates at term. The GS longest diameter in longitudinal section (LGS), the GS longest diameter making perpendicularity t...

Two forms of glutamine synthetase (GS(1) and GS(2)) have been separated from cells of Stichococcus bacillaris by fast protein liquid chromatography. The activities of the two isoenzymes were influenced by the composition of the media employed; thiol reagents were essential for stabilizing GS(2) but they suppressed GS(1) activity. The activity of each isoenzyme was, therefore, determined followi...

Background Prediction of breeding values (BV) using only genotypic information is the final goal of Genomic Selection (GS) [1]. Commonly, BV prediction from traditional BLUP analysis is the input for constructing GS prediction models, and GS predicted BVs are correlated with traditional BLUP BVs to estimate the accuracy of GS models. The use of GS in plant breeding depends on the accuracy of th...

introduction: ultra low dose (uld) morphine induces hyperalgesia which is mediated by excitatory gscoupled opioid receptors. this study was designed to investigate the development of tolerance to hyperalgesic effect of morphine. also we attempt to seek possible similarity, in view of gs proteins, between hyperalgesic effect of uld and hyperalgesic effect after tolerance to hd. method: male wist...
