Osteo-Chondroprogenitor–Specific Deletion of the Selenocysteine tRNA Gene, Trsp, Leads to Chondronecrosis and Abnormal Skeletal Development: A Putative Model for Kashin-Beck Disease
Kashin-Beck disease, a syndrome characterized by short stature, skeletal deformities, and arthropathy of multiple joints, is highly prevalent in specific regions of Asia. The disease has been postulated to result from a combination of different environmental factors, including contamination of barley by mold mycotoxins, iodine deficiency, presence of humic substances in drinking water, and, imp...

آب حاصل از بارش منبع تأمین نیازهای بی شمار جانداران به ویژه انسان است و هرگونه کاهش در کم و کیف آن مستقیماً حیات موجودات زنده را تحت تأثیر منفی قرار می دهد. نوسان سال به سال بارش از ویژگی های اساسی و بسیار مهم بارش های سالانه ایران محسوب می شود که آثار زیان بار آن در تمام عرصه های اقتصادی، اجتماعی و حتی سیاسی- امنیتی به نحوی منعکس می شود. چون میزان آب ناشی از بارش یکی از مولفه های اصلی برنامه ...
15 صفحه اولSelective removal of the selenocysteine tRNA [Ser]Sec gene (Trsp) in mouse mammary epithelium.
Mice homozygous for an allele encoding the selenocysteine (Sec) tRNA [Ser]Sec gene (Trsp) flanked by loxP sites were generated. Cre recombinase-dependent removal of Trsp in these mice was lethal to embryos. To investigate the role of Trsp in mouse mammary epithelium, we deleted this gene by using transgenic mice carrying the Cre recombinase gene under control of the mouse mammary tumor virus (M...
متن کاملKashin-Beck disease involving the ankles
We present a case of Kashin-Beck Disease primarily affecting the ankles. Our findings are consistent with other reports of the symptoms, incidence, and progression of these diseases. At this time, our patient has chosen conservative treatment, but is considering eventual osteoarticular allografts. According to the available literature, surgical treatment is the only option that will not only al...

normally retained in the body because of its high renal clearance; the absence of the HGD enzyme leads to abundant urinary excretion of homogentisic acid, which darkens slowly upon oxidation by prolonged exposure to air. The darkening is hastened by the addition of alkali to the urine and is reflected in the original term for homogentisic acid, alkapton, which refers to its avidity for alkali. ...
