PURPOSE Rosai et al. published the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of thymic epithelial tumors in 1999, and its clinical usefulness seems to be established. It is our purpose to find the clinically relevant diagnostic points in the WHO Histological Classification of Thymoma. METHODS Thymomas surgically removed from 100 consecutive patients at Juntendo University Hospital betwee...

The corrosion behaviors of TA2 titanium were investigated by in situ electrochemical measurements a solution 2.3 ppm Li+ and 1500 B3+ at temperature up to 300 °C. morphology, phase structure, composition the oxide film, after 800 h exposure time °C 14 MPa, characterized scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), etc. growth mechanism film bas...

conclusions the b3, b5, b7, b8 and b9 subgenotypes can be clustered into quasi-sub-genotype b3 and the open reading frame of hbv has a start codon preference; however, whether a mutation in the start codon in the pre-s2 region has an impact on survival and replication of hbv remains to be determined. background the number of cases of hbv infection reported by the who for each district and count...

Various mammalian small heat-shock proteins (sHSPs) can interact with one another to form large polydisperse assemblies. In muscle cells, HSPB2/MKBP (myotonic dystrophy protein kinase-binding protein) and HSPB3 have been shown to form an independent complex. To date, the biochemical properties of this complex have not been thoroughly characterized. In this study, we show that recombinant HSPB2 ...

The electronic characteristics, including the density of state and bond length, in addition to spectroscopic properties such as IR spectrum Raman scattering, a function frequency Sn10O16, C24O6, hybrid junction (Sn10O16/C24O6) were studied. methodology uses DFT for all electron levels with B3-LYP (Becke level, 3-parameters, Lee–Yang-Parr), 6-311G (p,d) basis set, Stuttgart/Dresden (SDD) using G...

We expressed the Arabidopsis thaliana gene for phytochelatin synthase (PCS(At)) in Mesorhizobium huakuii subsp. rengei B3, a microsymbiont of Astragalus sinicus, a legume used as manure. The PCS(At) gene was expressed under the control of the nifH promoter, which regulates the nodule-specific expression of the nifH gene. The expression of the PCS(At) gene was demonstrated in free-living cells u...

B3 is a murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) that recognizes a LewisY carbohydrate antigen present on the surface of many carcinomas. An imaging and Phase I trial was performed to study the ability of 111In-mAb B3 to image known metastasis and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), kinetics, and biodistribution of 90Y-mAb B3. Patients (n = 26) with advanced epithe...

In the present study, four waxy rice varieties (two japonica and two indica) with contrasting hardening rates were used for physicochemical properties investigation. The results showed that hardness of cooked grains from zhenzhunuo zhennuo29 increased slowly after cool storage, whereas those zaonuo5 yj98 raised rapidly. peak gelatinisation temperatures yj98, zaonuo5, zhennuo29, flours 78.60°C, ...

The restriction endonuclease (REase) NgoAVII is composed of two proteins, R.NgoAVII and N.NgoAVII, and shares features of both Type II restriction enzymes and Type I/III ATP-dependent restriction enzymes (see accompanying paper Zaremba et al., 2014). Here we present crystal structures of the R.NgoAVII apo-protein and the R.NgoAVII C-terminal domain bound to a specific DNA. R.NgoAVII is composed...

The b3-integrin family consists of aIIbb3 (also known as glycoprotein IIb/IIIa) and avb3. aIIbb3 is found on platelets and megakaryocytes and has an essential role in hemostasis. avb3 has a broader distribution, and it functions in angiogenesis, neointimal formation after vascular injury, and leukocyte trafficking. There are important interactions between thrombin and b32integrins relative to b...
