BACKGROUND Expenditures for postacute care in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) have risen dramatically over recent decades. Therefore, efforts are underway to better identify cost savings in postacute rehabilitation centers, such as skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). The primary purpose of this study was to analyze gait training achievements in post-TJA patients in the interval between hospital d...

Maternal lineage effects on milk yield traits, considered indicative of cytoplasmic inheritance, were evaluated with animal models. Cattle were from a selection experiment begun in 1968. Maternal pedigrees were traced to the first female member in the Holstein-Friesian Herdbook; purchased cows entering the herd, considered foundation females, were assigned to maternal lineage groups. All models...

Recruitment of the U2 snRNP to the pre-mRNA is an essential step in spliceosome assembly. Although the protein components of the U2 snRNP have been identified, their individual contributions to function are poorly defined. In vitro studies with the Drosophila and human proteins suggest that two of the U2 snRNP-specific proteins, U2A' and U2B", function exclusively as a dimer. In Drosophila the ...

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SWI-SNF complex is a 2-MDa protein assembly that is required for the function of many transcriptional activators. Here we describe experiments on the role of the SWI-SNF complex in activation of transcription by the yeast activator GAL4. We find that while SWI-SNF activity is not required for the GAL4 activator to bind to and activate transcription from nucleosome-f...

The evaluation of the effect of the stage of lactation on milk composition, its properties and the quality of rennet curdling was carried out over the period of three successive years using milk samples (n = 162) obtained from a total of 27 ewes of the East Friesian (EF) breed, reared on a small sheep farm in Juřinka in the region of Wallachia. The stage of lactation had a highly significant ef...

Somatic mutations in the ARID1A tumor-suppressor gene have been frequently identified in ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) cases. BAF250a encoded by ARID1A is a member of the SWI/SNF complex, but the expression and mutation status of other SWI/SNF subunits have not been explored. The current study aimed to elucidate the biological and clinical significance of the SWI/SNF complex subunits, by a...

soy flour is the least processed form of soy protein products which has become increasingly popular in food technology for its nutritional benefits, low cost and good functional properties. the aim of this study was to investigate functional properties of soy flours produced by four different industrial processes: defatted, defatted and toasted, low fat, and full fat soy flours. because of diff...

This study examined two female offspring of a somatic cell cloned Holstein cow that had reproduction problems and milk production performance issues. The two offspring heifers, which showed healthy appearances and normal reproductive characteristics, calved on two separate occasions. The mean milk yields of the heifers in the first lactation period were 9,037 kg and 7,228 kg. The relative mean ...

Solid-state sodium batteries have garnered considerable interest. However, their electrochemical performance is hampered by severe interfacial resistance between metal and inorganic solid electrolytes, as well Na dendrite growth within the electrolytes. To address these issues, a uniform compact SnF2 film first introduced onto surface of electrolyte Na3.2Zr1.9Ca0.1Si2PO12 (NCZSP) to improve con...

Kalakand was prepared from buffalo milk (standardized with 6 per cent fat and 9 SNF) constant level of sugar (6 by volume milk) different levels kinnow juice (10, 15, 20 25 part vol. milk). It observed that the overall acceptability score for treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 T5 were 8.31, 8.37, 8.54, 8.19 7.83 respectively. As in kalakand increases also upto thereafter it decreased. The (T3) comprises ...
