BACKGROUND Previous studies demonstrated that selenite induced cancer-cell apoptosis through multiple mechanisms; however, effects of selenite on microtubules in leukemic cells have not been demonstrated. METHODS The toxic effect of selenite on leukemic HL60 cells was performed with cell counting kit 8. Selenite effects on cell cycle distribution and apoptosis induction were determined by flo...

A magnetic particle-based enzyme-liked immunosorbent assay (mp-ELISA) has been developed as new an alternative immunoassay for Aflatoxin B1 determination. The method is based on conventional competitive ELISA whereby the anti-Aflatoxin B1 antibody is immobilized on the magnetic particles' surface. The influence of the antibody type as well as antibody immobilization on the magnetic beads surfac...

We prove criteria for axiom (b1) of [Cluckers, Loeser, b-minimality, http://www.dma.ens.fr/∼cluckers/]. We establish criteria for b-minimality when the auxiliary sorts are small. These criteria show that in many naturally occurring situations, for example in the situation of local fields, axiom (b1) is the only important axiom of b-minimality, in the sense that the other axioms of b-minimality ...

A aflatoxina B1 (AFLA B1) é um tipo de micotoxina, tida como a mais carcinogênica do grupo. Observada em diversos alimentos, sua ingestão pode levar longo prazo diversas patologias ou até mesmo morte. Através consumo alimentos contaminados por seres humanos e animais. As técnicas existentes para detecção são baseadas cromatografia ELISA. Elas ferramentas com uma boa sensibilidade, contudo não a...

The connection between a Taylor series and a continued-fraction involves a nonlinear relation between the Taylor coefficients {an} and the continued-fraction coefficients {bn}. In many instances it turns out that this nonlinear relation transforms a complicated sequence {an} into a very simple one {bn}. We illustrate this simplification in the context of graph combinatorics. PACS numbers: 02.90...

B1 receptors are known to be induced during allergic airway inflammation in animal models. However, little is known regarding in vivo B1 receptor expression in humans. We examined B1 receptor mRNA expression in nasal tissue samples from allergic rhinitis and normal subjects. Allergic rhinitis subjects displayed significantly higher expression of B1 receptor mRNA than did the normal subjects, an...

Let G be a connected reductive group over C and let g be the Langlands dual Lie algebra. Crystals for g are combinatoral objects, that were introduced by Kashiwara (cf. for example [5]) as certain “combinatorial skeletons” of finite-dimensional representations of g. For every dominant weight λ of g Kashiwara constructed a crystal B(λ) by considering the corresponding finite-dimensional represen...

In this article, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of positive ground state solutions, as α→∞, for the following Hénon type system −∆u = 2p p+ q |x|αup−1vq , −∆v = 2q p+ q |x|αupvq−1, in B1(0) with zero boundary condition, where B1(0) ⊂ RN (N ≥ 3) is the unit ball centered at the origin, p, q > 1, p+ q < 2∗ = 2N/(N − 2). We show that both components of the ground solution pair (u, v) conce...

A possible breakthrough in the treatment of diabetes was made with the discovery that a fungal natural product, demethylasterriquinone B1 (DAQ B1), is an orally active, small-molecule mimic of insulin. Subsequent work has shown that the glucose-lowering effects of DAQ B1 are not accompanied by enhanced vascular proliferation, which is a side effect of chronic insulin administration that can lea...
