Purpose. To describe a surgical technique using amniotic membrane transplant (AMT) with fibrin glue (FG) for treating smaller corneal perforations more practically and appropriately filling the defect. Method. A patient with noninfectious central corneal perforation, in 1 mm in diameter, was treated with FG-assisted AMT-plug. An AMT was folded in on itself twice by using FG then a small piece o...

The largely intrinsically disordered phenylalanine-glycine-rich nucleoporins (FG Nups) underline a selectivity mechanism, which enables the rapid translocation of transport factors (TFs) through the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). Conflicting models of NPC transport have assumed that FG Nups undergo different conformational transitions upon interacting with TFs. To selectively characterize confo...

In this article, dynamic modeling of double walled cylindrical functionally graded (FG) microshell is studied. Size effect of double walled cylindrical FG microshell are investigated using modified couple stress theory (MCST). Each layer of microshell is embedded in a viscoelastic medium. For the first time, in the present study, has been considered, FG length scale parameter in double walled c...

INTRODUCTION Fingolimod (Fg), a sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator, decreases the annual relapse rate (ARR) in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of Fg in daily practice in patients with RRMS, previously treated with natalizumab (Nz) or not, and systematically followed during at least 1 year. METHODS Data were col...

The permeability of the blood-retinal and blood-aqueous barriers to fluorescein (F) and the rate of aqueous flow can be estimated by measurements of F in the vitreous, aqueous, and plasma after systemic administration. F is commonly measured by fluorescence, but fluorescein glucuronide (FG), a metabolite of F, also fluoresces. To assess the influence of FG on the quantitation of F by fluorescen...

Nucleocytoplasmic transport is mediated by the interaction of transport factors (TFs) with disordered phenylalanine-glycine (FG) repeats that fill the central channel of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). However, the mechanism by which TFs rapidly diffuse through multiple FG repeats without compromising NPC selectivity is not yet fully understood. In this study, we build on our recent NMR investi...

The present study was designed to determine the effect of fenugreek seed extract (FG) on endurance capacity in male mice aged 4 wk. Mice were given orally either vehicle or FG (150, 300 mg/kg body weight) by stomach intubation for 4 wk. The 300 mg/ kg FG group showed a significant increase in swimming time to exhaustion as compared to the control group. In the FG groups, blood lactate concentra...

The copper(1) complex [(TMPA)Cu(RCN)]+ (1) binds 0 2 forming [{ (TMPA)Cu}2(02)]2+ (2), with trans-y-1, 2 peroxo-coordination. Ligands with quinolyl groups substituting for the pyridyl donors in TMPA cause dramatic changes in the course of reaction, in one case stabilizing a CdO2 1:l adduct [(BQPA)Cu(02)]+ (6 ) . The kinetics/thermodynamics are compared. Reaction of 1 with (F 8-TPP)Fe(II)pip2 (8...

UNLABELLED Coagulase (Coa) and Efb, secreted Staphylococcus aureus proteins, are important virulence factors in staphylococcal infections. Coa interacts with fibrinogen (Fg) and induces the formation of fibrin(ogen) clots through activation of prothrombin. Efb attracts Fg to the bacterial surface and forms a shield to protect the bacteria from phagocytic clearance. This communication describes ...

Herein, we present a case of gastric adenocarcinoma of fundic gland type (GA-FG) spreading to heterotopic gastric glands (HGG) in the submucosa. A 58-year-old man with epigastric pain was referred to our hospital and underwent an esophagogastroduodenoscopy. A Borrmann type II gastric cancer at the antrum and a 10 mm submucosal tumor-like lesion in the lesser curvature of the upper third of the ...
