in this study, bimodal meso-porous silica (uvm-7) synthesized and fabricated amino silane modified supports were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd), n2 adsorption/desorption, transmission electron microscope (tem), elemental analysis and titration. capacity of co2 capture on modified bimodal pore structure silica at 70°c was calculated using breakthrough curves; and it was found th...

background: technetium-99m radioisotope is the backbone of any nuclear medicine institute. this radioisotope is acquired by the elution of molybdenum-99/technetium-99m generator which emits 141 kev gamma ray and having 6.04 hour half-life. occasionally the contents of molybdenum-99 may mix up with elute, which may affect image quality and patients may receive higher doses than recommended. this...

Connexin40 (Cx40) is a major gap junction protein that is expressed in the His-Purkinje system and thought to be a critical determinant of cell-to-cell communication and conduction of electrical impulses. Video maps of the ventricular epicardium and the proximal segment of the right bundle branch (RBB) were obtained using a high-speed CCD camera while simultaneously recording volume-conducted E...

In July 2012, Congress passed the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA). The Advancing Breakthrough Therapies for Patients Act was incorporated into a Title of FDASIA to expedite clinical development of new, potential "breakthrough" drugs or treatments that show dramatic responses in early-phase studies. Using this regulatory pathway, once a promising new drug candidat...

background hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection is a serious public health problem in china and worldwide. mother-to-child transmission is one of hbv’s main transmission routes in highly endemic regions. genome-wide association studies (gwas) identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) at hla loci as associated with hbv infection. however, the mechanisms of hbv perinatal transmission and break...

PNH is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disease associated with a complementdependent hemolytic anemia. The disease manifests after the expansion of a multipotent hematopoietic stem cell that acquires a mutation of the PIGA gene. The PIGA gene product is required for the biosynthesis of glycophosphatidylinositol anchors, a glycolipid moiety that attaches dozens of proteins to the plasma membran...
