Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) occurs in at least five different isoforms because of alternative splicing of the gene. To investigate the roles of different VEGF isoforms in tumor blood vessel formation and tumorigenicity, the three major isoforms (VEGF(121), VEGF(165), and VEGF(189)) were overexpressed in an early-stage human melanoma cell line (WM1341B), which is VEGF-negative and ...

c-Kit tyrosine kinase receptor has been identified as a regulator of bone homeostasis. The c-Kit loss-of-function mutations in WBB6F1/J-Kit(W/W-v) mice result in low bone mass. However, these mice are sterile and it is unclear whether the observed skeletal phenotype is secondary to a sex hormone deficiency. In contrast, C57BL/6J-Kit(W-sh)/(W-sh) (W(sh)/W(sh)) mice, which carry an inversion muta...

This study examined characteristics associated with mildly injurious (fingernail biting, skin picking, etc.) and more injurious (cutting, burning, etc.) self-harm (SH) in an undergraduate sample (N = 280); 31% reported mildly injurious SH within the past 3 years with no more injurious SH, whereas 20% reported more injurious SH within the past 3 years. SH was not associated with significant gene...

U Državnom arhivu u Zadru i Arhivu HAZU Zagrebu ?uva se dio gra?e nekadašnjeg arhiva Stare splitske op?ine, kojoj sedamdesetak dokumenata spominju splitski zlatari 14. stolje?a. Autorica radu sabire otprije poznate novootkrivene arhivske vijesti o tridesetak zlatara zabilježenih splitskim arhivskim izvorima od 1341. do 1400. godine te temeljem njihove analize revidira sintetizira spoznaje njima.

The phosphorylation status of the small hydrophobic (SH) protein of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) was examined in virus-infected Vero cells. The SH protein was isolated from [35S]methionine- and [33P]orthophosphate-labelled RSV-infected cells and analysed by SDS-PAGE. In each case, a protein product of the expected size for the SH protein was observed. Phosphoamino acid analysis and reactiv...

BACKGROUND We investigated an association between baseline heart rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval before severe hypoglycemia (SH) and prolongation of QTc interval during SH in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS Between January 2004 and June 2014, 208 patients with T2DM, who visited the emergency department because of SH and underwent standard 12-lead electrocardiography wi...
