A stable light source obtained using sum-frequency generation (SFG) is developed for high-resolution spectroscopy at 578 nm. Hyperfine transitions of molecular iodine are observed by using the SFG light source with saturation spectroscopy. The light source is frequency stabilized to the observed hyperfine transition and achieves a stability of 2x10(-12) for a 1-s averaging time. The absolute fr...

Fission yeast cells depend on the anillin-related protein Mid1p for reliable cytokinesis. Insolubility limits the purification of full-length Mid1p for biophysical analysis, and lack of knowledge about the structural domains of Mid1p limits functional analysis. We addressed these limitations by identifying in a bacterial expression screen of random Mid1p fragments five soluble segments that can...

Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XPC) is responsible for DNA damage recognition in the initial steps of the nucleotide excision repair pathway. Genetic variations in the XPC gene may be associated with impaired protein function and increased risk for bladder cancer. To elucidate the roles of common polymorphisms of XPC in the etiology of bladder cancer, we conducted a hospital-bas...

BACKGROUND Adverse drug reactions and non-compliance are important causes of admissions in the elderly to medical clinics. The contribution of adverse drug reactions and non-compliance to admission by the medical emergency department was analysed. METHODS A total of 578 consecutive elderly patients admitted to the medical emergency department were interviewed to determine the percentage of ad...

BACKGROUND A dual-wavelength approach is necessary in order to achieve consistent results when utilizing lasers and intense pulsed light sources to treat red and blue lower extremity vessels. In this regard, short-wavelength technologies (500-800 nm) may be employed to treat red telangiectasia of less than 2 mm on the lower extremities. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate a new yellow light laser utiliz...

Experimental autoimmune orchitis (EAO), the principal model of non-infectious testicular inflammatory disease, can be induced in susceptible mouse strains by immunization with autologous testicular homogenate and appropriate adjuvants. As previously established, the genome of DBA/2J mice encodes genes that are capable of conferring dominant resistance to EAO, while the genome of BALB/cByJ mice ...
