MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have been widely demonstrated to play fundamental roles in gene regulation in most eukaryotes. To date, there has been no study describing the miRNA composition in genetically modified organisms (GMOs). In this study, small RNAs from dry seeds of two GM soybean lines and their parental cultivars were investigated using deep sequencing technology and bioinformatic approaches. ...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper is a review of a number of studies considering links between life threatening cardiac arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death (SCD) and the level of environmental physical activity factors like geomagnetic activity (GMA) and opposite them cosmic ray and high energy proton flux. This is a part of studies in the field named Clinical Cosmobiology. METHODS Temporal ...

Hydrazide chemistry is a powerful technique in glycopeptides enrichment. However, the low density of the monolayer hydrazine groups on the conventional hydrazine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles limits the efficiency of glycopeptides enrichment. Herein, a novel magnetic nanoparticle grafted with poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (GMA) brushes was fabricated via reversible addition-fragmentation ...

AIMS To review our experiences with giant mandibular ameloblastoma (GMA) over a 5-year period, and to formulate a treatment algorithm for managing this tumour. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed all GMA patients who underwent segmental mandibulectomy and immediate free fibular osteoseptocutaneous flap reconstruction (SM-IFFOFR) by a single reconstructive team from 2002 to 2006. All treatment...

A novel copolymer (MG) which is methacrylate (MMA) and glycidyl (GMA) synthesized the dielectric films are applied to energy storage aspects.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection causes a progression to atrophic gastritis and results in gastric cancer. Cytotoxin-associated gene A (CagA), major virulence factor of H. pylori, is injected into epithelial cells using the type IV secretion system. On other hand, degrade CagA an autophagy system, which strictly regulated by autophagy-related (ATG) genes. This study aimed identify SNPs...

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding laying hens grains naturally contaminated with a combination of Fusarium mycotoxins. Parameters measured included performance, organ weights, and plasma chemistry. One hundred and forty-four, 45-wk-old laying hens were fed diets including: (1) control, (2) contaminated grains, and (3) contaminated grains + 0.2% polymeric glucomannan...

Data from the annual, seasonal, and hourly behavior of the criteria air pollutants CO, NO2, SO2, O3, and PM10 in three Mexican metropolitan areas (the Mexico City Metropolitan Area (MCMA), Guadalajara Metropolitan Area (GMA), and Monterrey Metropolitan Area (MMA)) over the period 2000–2011 were analyzed; and compliance with Mexican air quality standards was evaluated, highlighting causes of spe...

An experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of feeding grains naturally contaminated with Fusarium mycotoxins on brain regional neurochemistry of turkeys. The possible preventative effect of a poly-meric glucomannan mycotoxin adsorbent (GMA) was also determined. Forty-five 1-d-old male turkey poults were fed wheat-, corn-, and soybean meal-based diets up to wk 6, formulated with cont...

In this paper, data presentation and analysis tools, which use R-GMA, the information and monitoring system of the EU DataGrid project, are presented. The information browser is used to quickly browse among large amount of data. Pulse, a flexibly configurable tool is used to analyse and visualise performance data of grid resources and services. PROVE, a performance visualisation tool is used to...
