Today, cancer is the main reason of the 12 % of mortality around the world. It is the second most important reason of death in the developed countries and the third most important one in the developing countries. The frequency of cancer cases in the developed countries is much higher than that of the developing countries, but statistics signify that the rate of cancer incidence is increasing fa...

This paper introduces Multi-Stage Fault Attacks, which allow Differential Fault Analysis of block ciphers having independent subkeys. Besides the specification of an algorithm implementing the technique, we show concrete applications to LED-128 and PRINCE and demonstrate that in both cases approximately 3 to 4 fault-injections are enough to reconstruct the full 128-bit key. Keywords-cryptanalys...

DEC-205 (CD205) belongs to the macrophage mannose receptor family of C-type lectin endocytic receptors and behaves as an antigen uptake/processing receptor for dendritic cells (DC). To investigate DEC-205 tissue distribution in human leukocytes, we generated a series of anti-human DEC-205 monoclonal antibodies (MMRI-5, 6 and 7), which recognized epitopes within the C-type lectin-like domains 1 ...

BACKGROUND Although it is known that first degree relatives of celiac patients have an increased risk for celiac disease few studies are available on its incidence. We investigated the incidence of serologic conversion and of new cases of celiac disease among first degree relatives with negative results at a first screening. METHODS From a total of 634 first degree relatives of 186 biopsy-pro...

The expression of Adenovirus serotype 2 or serotype 5 (Ad2/5) E1A in tumor cells reduces their tumorigenicity in vivo by enhancing the NK cell mediated and T cell mediated anti-tumor immune response, an activity that correlates with the ability of E1A to bind p300. We determined if E1A could be used as a molecular adjuvant to enhance antigen-specific T cell responses to a model tumor antigen, o...

The LILI-128 keystream generator is a LFSR based synchronous stream cipher with a 128 bit key. The design offers large period and linear complexity, and is resistant to currently known styles of attack. LILI-128 is simple to implement in hardware or software.

BACKGROUND Multicentric Castleman's disease describes a group of poorly understood lymphoproliferative disorders driven by proinflammatory hypercytokinaemia. Patients have heterogeneous clinical features, characteristic lymph node histopathology, and often deadly multiple organ dysfunction. Human herpesvirus 8 (HHV8) causes multicentric Castleman's disease in immunosuppressed patients. The caus...

AIMS Based on our accumulated experience, the present study evaluates and discusses the indications, advantages and inconveniences of oral cavity epulis resection using the carbon dioxide laser (CO2) versus the Erbium:YAG laser (Er:YAG), diode laser and surgical scalpel. MATERIAL AND METHODS A retrospective study has been made of 120 patients involving the removal of 128 epulis lesions with t...
