A possible Molecular Mechanism of Adenomyosis
Adenomyosis, an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease, is defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma deep within the myometrium [1]. The main clinical features of adenomyosis are dysmenorrhea and menorrhagia, which are significantly associated with peritoneal endometriosis in infertile patients at reproductive age [2,3]. The only difference between adenomyosis and endometriosis ...
متن کاملModeling Human Erythrocyte Shape and Size Abnormalities
We present simple parametric equations in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions that provide a realistic model of the shape of human normal erythrocytes as well as of variations in size (anisocytosis) and shape (poikilocytosis) thereof. We illustrate our results with parameterizations of microcytes, macrocytes and stomatocytes, and show the applicability of these parameterizations to the numerical...
متن کاملResistance mechanism of human immunodeficiency virus type-1 protease to inhibitors: A molecular dynamic approach
Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) protease inhibitors comprise an important class of drugs used in HIV treatments. However, mutations of protease genes accelerated by low fidelity of reverse transcriptase yield drug resistant mutants of reduced affinities for the inhibitors. This problem is considered to be a serious barrier against HIV treatment for the foreseeable future. In this st...
متن کاملA Possible Neural Mechanism for Computing Shape From Shading
Shading is the variation in image intensity due to changes in surface shape, and has long been recognized as one of the most important visual cues to surface shape. Leonard0 Da Vinci, for instance, wrote in his notebooks: “Shading appears to me to be of supreme importance in perspective, because, without it opaque and solid bodies will be ill-defined.” Despite its importance, however, relativel...
متن کاملHuman erythrocyte purine nucleoside phosphorylase: molecular weight and physical properties. A Theorell-Chance catalytic mechanism.
Human erythrocyte purine nucleoside phosphorylase was purified to apparent homogeneity at 3,700-fold purification and a specific activity of 55 pmol min-’ mg of protein-’ with guanosine as substrate. The molecular weight of the native enzyme was determined by: 1) equilibrium sedimentation; 2) gel filtration experiments on Sephadex G-100, Sephadex G-200, and Sepharose 6B; and 3) estimation from ...
