Results: Serum soluble corin level was significantly higher in ischemic stroke patients than hemorrhagic stroke patients in men (log-corin, mean±SD:7.53±0.34 vs. 7.42±0.28; P =0.013) and women (log-corin, mean±SD:7.22±0.27 vs. 7.12±0.31; P = 0.044). Then we studied serum soluble corin in subtypes of ischemic stroke. Unadjusted analysis failed to show a significant difference in logtransformed s...

Electrophoretic DNA sequencing without a polymer matrix is currently possible only with the use of some kind of "drag-tag" as a mobility modifier. In free-solution conjugate electrophoresis (FSCE), a drag-tag attached to each DNA fragment breaks linear charge-to-friction scaling, enabling size-based separation in aqueous buffer alone. Here we report a 265-base read for free-solution DNA sequenc...

Background and Aims: Q59L mutant of L-asparaginase enzyme from Escherichia coli (E. coli) has been introduced with lower side effects. This version of the enzyme might have potential applications in the treatment of leukemia patients. We utilized SHuffle T7 strain of E. coli, to produce the mutant enzyme in the presence of chaperone molecules. Materials and Methods: Q59LAsp gene was cloned in...

The demand for more functional plant-based proteins has greatly increased. objective of this study was to provide a systematic understanding the properties and physicochemical features protein isolates extracted from common pulses. Chickpea (ChPI) much less soluble compared other proteins. Pigeon pea (PiPI) lab soybean (SPI) possessed excellent emulsification capacity stability 0.71–0.73 0.70–0...

This study aimed to assess the mortality risks for human infection with high (HPAI) and low (LPAI) pathogenicity avian influenza viruses. The HPAI case fatality rate (CFR) was far higher than the LPAI CFR [66.0% (293/444) vs. 68.75% (11/16) vs. 40.4% (265/656) vs. 0.0% (0/18) in the cases with H5N1, H5N6, H7N9, and H9N2 viruses, respectively; p < 0.001]. Similarly, the CFR of the index cases wa...

to investigate the effects of sowing date on yield and quality of six forage maize cultivars in rasht region, a field study was conducted in 2010. the experimental design was a randomized complete block using a factorial arrangement with three replications. treatments consisted of four levels of sowing date (22 may, 3, 15 and 25 june), and six maize cultivars (sc 260, dc 370, sc 500, sc 647, sc...

mechanisms of drought stress tolerance of gf677 rootstock, peach and almond hybrid, (prunus persica × prunus amygdalus) were studied under in vitro conditions. plantlets of gf677 rootstock were subcultured into the murashige and skoog (ms) solid proliferation medium containing 1 mg/l ba (6-benzyladenine) and 0.1 mg/l naa (naphthaline acetic acid) in four drought stress levels 0 (control), 10, 2...

BACKGROUND Increased amounts of soluble E-cadherin (E-cad) have been found in the serum in various cancers, but the role of serum soluble E-cad in the prognosis of breast cancer patients has not been explored in Asian populations. MATERIAL/METHOD Blood samples from 111 consecutive patients diagnosed with breast cancer and 55 healthy controls were investigated.Serum soluble E-cad expression le...

ABSTRACT- Different soil potassium (K) pools including soluble, exchangeable and non-exchangeable in surface and subsurface soils may be totally used by canola roots at different growth stages under drought conditions. A field experiment was conducted for one growing season (2013-2014) to study K pools changes during growth stages of two rapeseed cultivars under drought. The experiment was arra...

PURPOSE Knowledge of what influences patients' willingness to undergo elective orthopedic surgery is vital to the patient shared decision-making process. We sought to document the prevalence and identify the predictors of unwillingness to undergo surgery among a cohort of hip/knee, foot/ankle, neck/back, and hip/knee patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patient demographics and information on patie...
