Abstract In order to investigate the charge symmetry breaking (CSB) in the short range part of the nuclear force, we calculate the difference of the masses of the neutron and the proton, ∆M, the difference of the scattering lengths of the p-p and n-n scatterings, ∆a, and the difference of the analyzing power of the proton and the neutron in the n-p scattering, ∆A(θ), by a quark model. In the pr...

At inflammatory sites, proteoglycans are both secreted by activated mononuclear leukocytes and released as a consequence of extracellular matrix degradation. Chondroitin 4-sulfate proteoglycans constitute the predominant ones produced by activated human monocytes/macrophages. In this study, we show that two chondroitin 4-sulfate forms, CSA and CSB, can activate distinct peripheral blood mononuc...

Cockayne syndrome (CS) patients are deficient in the transcription coupled repair (TCR) subpathway of nucleotide excision repair (NER) but in contrast to xeroderma pigmentosum patients, who have a defect in the global genome repair subpathway of NER, CS patients do not have an elevated cancer incidence. To determine to what extent a TCR deficiency affects carcinogen-induced mutagenesis and carc...

The fire-prone shrublands of southwestern Australia are renowned for their high plant species diversity and prominence of canopy seed storage (serotiny). We compared species richness, abundance, and life history attributes for soil and canopy seed banks in relation to extant vegetation among four sites with different substrate conditions and high species turnover (50-80%) to identify whether th...

cockayne syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder with a recessive autosomal mode of inheritance characterized by dwarfism, microcephaly, mental retardation, deafness, photosensive dermatitis and a peculiar form of retinal pigmentation. we report an iranian family with one affected child who suffers from cockayne syndrome. cardinal features are failure to thrive, short stature, premature aging,...

SUMMARY Computational Structural Biology Toolbox (CSB) is a cross-platform Python class library for reading, storing and analyzing biomolecular structures with rich support for statistical analyses. CSB is designed for reusability and extensibility and comes with a clean, well-documented API following good object-oriented engineering practice. AVAILABILITY Stable release packages are availabl...

Abstract There are plant cuticle and complex cell walls on the outer surface of cotton stalk bark (CSB), which reduce efficiency liquid penetration CSB. To increase permeability liquids, these barriers need to be broken. Cellulase can selectively hydrolyze cellulose into glucose, its action conditions mild. Therefore, cellulase treatment is one excellent ways break CSB permeation barrier. This ...

The application of potato starch in flour products is very important for staple food. gluten protein wheat will be weakened after being mixed with starch, which could have inhibitory effect on quality properties products. Therefore, it is, necessary to study the influence substitution Chinese steamed bread (CSB), an food North China. This investigated modified by heat-moisture treatment (HMTS) ...

To observe the pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10) secretion from cultivated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) for 48h. Blood samples were obtained 42 women patients of Nadezhda Women’s Health Hospital after signing written informed consent. For PBMC isolation, 9 ml heparinised whole each patient processed by density gradient centrifugation using Pancoll (P04...

CsB 3 H 8 undergoes two phase transitions to an orthorhombic and then a cubic prior decomposition.
