GRA 06128/9: Since their discovery at Graves Nunataks icefield during the 2006/2007 Antarctic Search for Meteorites field season, GRA 06128 and GRA 06129 have received considerable scientific attention. Their elevated modal abundances of oligoclase (>75%), blocky or slab-like character, granoblastic textures and ‘andesitic’ bulk compositions set them apart from all other meteorite classes. It h...

Introduction: Several studies have contributed to our understanding of the record of alteration of CR chondrites [e.g., 1-5]. However, recent observations of CR2 GRA 06100 suggest that hydration of the CR parent body was a more diverse process than previously anticipated [6]. [6] observed that Fe,Ni metal in this meteorite was invariably and extensively altered to form complex assemblages conta...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Education of patients with chronic hepatitis C has been proposed to increase response to therapy with peginterferon and ribavirin. We performed a prospective study to determine the effects of systematic consultation by a nurse on patient adherence and the efficacy of therapy. METHODS We analyzed data from 244 patients who received either systematic consultation after each me...

The dense granule of Toxoplasma gondii is a secretory vesicular organelle of which the proteins participate in the modification of the parasitophorous vacuole (PV) and PV membrane for the maintenance of intracellular parasitism in almost all nucleated host cells. In this review, the archives on the research of GRA proteins are reviewed on the foci of finding GRA proteins, characterizing molecul...

Inflammatory responses in many cell types are coordinately regulated by the opposing actions of NF-kB and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR). The human glucocorticoid receptor (hGR) gene encodes two protein isoforms: a cytoplasmic alpha form (GRa), which binds hormone, translocates to the nucleus, and regulates gene transcription, and a nuclear localized beta isoform (GRb), which does not bind kn...

The main serological marker for the diagnosis of recent toxoplasmosis is the specific IgM antibody, along with IgG antibodies of low avidity. However, in some patients these antibodies may persist long after the acute/recent phase, contributing to misdiagnosis in suspected cases of toxoplasmosis. In the present study, the diagnostic efficiency of ELISA was evaluated, with the use of peptides de...
