In this paper, we have focused to study convex $L$-subgroups of an $L$-ordered group. First, we introduce the concept of a convex $L$-subgroup and a convex $L$-lattice subgroup of an $L$-ordered group and give some examples. Then we find some properties and use them to construct convex $L$-subgroup generated by a subset $S$ of an $L$-ordered group $G$ . Also, we generalize a well known result a...

Some DNA damage-recognition proteins, transcription factors, mismatch repair proteins and DNA polymerases discriminate between cisplatin (CP)and oxaliplatin (OX)-GG DNA adducts, and this is thought to help explain differences in efficacy, toxicity and mutagenicity of CP and OX. In addition, differential recognition of CPand OX-GG adducts by some proteins has been shown to be highly dependent on...

Atypical tongue muscle activity during sleep may contribute to the development of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Inspiratory genioglossus (GG) muscle activity was investigated in 10 OSA adults and 4 symptom-free controls. On the basis of overnight monitoring during nonREM sleep, the duration of the inspiratory GG activity and the total GG activity cycle is shorter in patients with OSA. The dura...

‎We use of two notions functionally convex (briefly‎, ‎F--convex) and functionally closed (briefly‎, ‎F--closed) in functional analysis and obtain more results‎. ‎We show that if $lbrace A_{alpha} rbrace _{alpha in I}$ is a family $F$--convex subsets with non empty intersection of a Banach space $X$‎, ‎then $bigcup_{alphain I}A_{alpha}$ is F--convex‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎we introduce new definition o...

INTRODUCTION Existing trials studying the use of Gastrografin for management of adhesive small bowel obstruction (SBO) are limited by methodological flaws and small sample sizes. We compared institutional protocols with and without Gastrografin (GG), hypothesizing that a SBO management protocol utilizing GG is associated with lesser rates of exploration, shorter length of stay, and fewer compli...

Neoplasms of the central nervous system (CNS), when examined macroscopically, may be circumscribed or diffusely infiltrating. Circumscribed glial and mixed glial-neuronal neoplasms include, among others, pilocytic astrocytoma (PA), pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma (PXA) and ganglioglioma (GG). Besides being circumscribed, these neoplasms share several similarities: they affect mostly children, ado...

the notion of a bead metric space is defined as a nice generalization of the uniformly convex normed space such as $cat(0)$ space, where the curvature is bounded from above by zero. in fact, the bead spaces themselves can be considered in particular as natural extensions of convex sets in uniformly convex spaces and normed bead spaces are identical with uniformly convex spaces. in this paper, w...

Purpose Previous studies investigating the association between interleukin-17A (IL-17A) G197A polymorphism and gastric cancer risk have provided inconsistent results. We, therefore, conducted this meta-analysis to clarify the association between IL-17A G197A polymorphism and gastric cancer risk. Methods We searched PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database, and CNKI databases to identify relevant stud...

Alphaherpesviruses, which have co-evolved with their hosts for more than 200 million years, evade and subvert host immune responses, in part, by expression of immuno-modulatory molecules. Alphaherpesviruses express a single, broadly conserved chemokine decoy receptor, glycoprotein G (gG), which can bind multiple chemokine classes from multiple species, including human and mouse. Previously, we ...
