ABSTRACT We present a study of photochemical hazes exoplanet atmospheres based on self-consistent model including haze microphysics, disequilibrium chemistry, and radiative feedbacks. derive the properties required to match Hubble Space Telescope observations 10 hot-Jupiters. HAT-P-12b, HD-189733b, HD-209458b, WASP-6b require mass fluxes between 5 × 10?15 9 10?12 g cm?2 s?1 observations. WASP-1...

Mutations in the human ortholog of Drosophila patched (PTCH) have been identified in patients with autosomal dominant nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS), characterized by minor developmental anomalies and an increased incidence of cancers such as medulloblastoma and basal cell carcinoma. We identified many isoforms of PTCH mRNA involving exons 1-5, exon 10 and a novel exon, 12b, gener...

BACKGROUND Cytokines are key regulators of measles vaccine humoral and cellular immunity. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are associated with differences in cytokine levels should also influence measles vaccine-induced immunity. METHODS We genotyped 118 measles-mumps-rubella-vaccinated subjects for SNPs from 6 cytokine genes (interleukin [IL]-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12A, IL-12B, and in...

Chronic asthma is associated with persistent lung inflammation and long-term remodelling of the airways that have proved refractory to conventional treatments such as steroids, despite their efficacy in controlling acute airway contraction and bronchial inflammation. As its recent dramatic increase in industrialised countries has not been mirrored in developing regions, it has been suggested th...

Myosin II is an actin-binding protein composed of MHC (myosin heavy chain) IIs, RLCs (regulatory light chains) and ELCs (essential light chains). Myosin II expressed in non-muscle tissues plays a central role in cell adhesion, migration and division. The regulation of myosin II activity is known to involve the phosphorylation of RLCs, which increases the Mg2+-ATPase activity of MHC IIs. However...

In Western countries gastric cancer continues to remain a biologically aggressive tumor, with poor long-term oncological outcomes. In Romania, the estimated gastric cancer was the fifth cause of oncological death in men and the eighth cause of oncological death in women in 2012.The objective of the study is to detail when should the hepatoduodenal ligament (station 12) be cleared surgically as ...

In the search of a potent cognitive enhancer, a series of 3,4-dihydro-2H-1,2,4-benzothiadiazine 1,1-dioxides have been synthesized and evaluated as positive allosteric modulators of the AMPA receptors. In the present work, we focused our efforts on the insertion of mono- or polyfluoro-substituted alkyl chains at the 4-position of the thiadiazine ring in an attempt to enhance the pharmacokinetic...
