The fishing industry generates large quantities of by-products, most which are not used and therefore discarded. objective the present research was elaboration a pâté-type sausage from mechanically recovered meat rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). obtained skelons, were passed through grinder sprayed with mixture α-tocopherol (0.02%) ascorbic acid (0.05%). formulation pate as follows: (74.4%)...

Interest in extra-adrenal corticosteroid synthesis has been revived by technological advances and the quest for answers to clinical problems. The cytochrome P450 21-hydroxylase converts progesterone to deoxycorticosterone, the obligatory substrate for the production of the main adrenal steroids aldosterone, cortisol and corticosterone. The rat P450 21-hydroxylase was cloned and two constructs, ...

In this paper we propose five versions of a Proportional Conflict Redistribution rule (PCR) for information fusion together with several examples. From PCR1 to PCR2, PCR3, PCR4, PCR5 one increases the complexity of the rules and also the exactitude of the redistribution of conflicting masses. PCR1 restricted from the hyper-power set to the power set and without degenerate cases gives the same r...

One of the most widely used methods for clinical sample preservation and archiving is the preparation of formalin-fi xed paraffi n-embedded (FFPE) tissue. Thin sections of FFPE blocks are commonly subjected to histopathology with the remaining sample being archived. These FFPE tissue archives represent a valuable source for retrospective studies of gene expression and mutation analysis. However...

The von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 3, the mutations of which lead to the development of von Hippel-Lindau disease. The VHL gene is a putative tumour suppressor gene in VHL and a few other conditions, possibly by negative regulation of hypoxia- inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) and the stromal-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) receptor, CXCR4, via which the VHL protein ne...

INTRODUCTION JC Virus (JCV), a human polyomavirus, is frequently present in colorectal cancers (CRCs). JCV large T-Ag (T-Ag) expressed in approximately half of all CRC's, however, its functional role in CRC is poorly understood. We hypothesized that JCV T-Ag may mediate metastasis in CRC cells through increased migration and invasion. MATERIAL AND METHODS CRC cell lines (HCT116 and SW837) wer...

BackgroundPreviously, it has been demonstrated that stromal tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (sTILs) provide independent prognostic information in early-stage HER2-positive breast cancer. The aim of our study was to validate these findings by studying sTILs and outcome measures cancer patients who were randomized receive neoadjuvant chemotherapy with or without anthracyclines plus trastuzumab per...

I read with keen interest the article titled ‘Prevalence of photoparoxysmal response among South Indian epilepsy patients’ published in Seizure1. Although the authors appropriately conclude by saying that methodological issues have to be taken into consideration while designing studies on photoparoxysmal response (PPR), they fail to mention the duration of the photic train while doing intermitt...
