The synthesis and physicochemical properties of hydrogels with interpenetrated physical chemical networks were considered in relation to their prospective application as biomimetic materials biomedicine bioengineering. study was focused on combined based natural polysaccharide—calcium alginate (CaAlg) a synthetic polymer–polyacrylamide (PAAm). series varying proportions among polyacrylamide hav...

Let $A \subset \mathbb R$ and $G A \times A$. We prove that for any $\lambda \in R \setminus \{-1,0,1\}$, $ \max \{|A+_G A|, |A+_G \lambda |A\cdot_G A|\} \gg |G|^{6/11}.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Glycoproteins D (gD) and G (gG) of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) are virus envelope glycoproteins that are able to induce HSV-1 antibody production in infected persons. Therefore, those proteins could be in interest to develop the serodiagnostic test(s) for HSV antibody detection. The aim of present study was the comparison of anti-gD and anti-gG antibodies in HS...

The kinetic method is applied to differentiate and quantify mixtures of isomeric tripeptides by generating and mass-selecting alkali metal ion-bound dimeric clusters and examining their competitive dissociations in an ion trap mass spectrometer. This methodology readily distinguishes the pairs of isomers examined here: ( -A)GG/( -A)GG, G( -A)G/G( -A)G, and GG( -A)/GG( -A). The isomeric selectiv...

Previous studies have indicated an association between the genetic variant in pre-miR-27a rs895819 with A->G transition and cancer risk; however, the results remain inconsistent and somehow conflicting in different cancers. Therefore, to obtain a more reliable conclusion, we performed an update meta-analysis by searching PubMed database or other databases. Odds ratio (ORs) and 95% confidence in...

Infectious laryngotracheitis virus (ILTV; Gallid herpesvirus 1) is an alphaherpesvirus that causes acute respiratory disease in chickens. The role of glycoprotein G (gG) in vitro has been investigated in a number of alphaherpesviruses, but the relevance of gG in vivo in the pathogenicity of ILTV or in other alphaherpesviruses is unknown. In this study, gG-deficient mutants of ILTV were generate...

We report on the use of spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) in predicting number density of nanoparticles bound to the surfaces decorated with either organic monolayers or surface-grafted polymers. Two systems are considered that comprise citrate-stabilized gold nanoparticles adsorbed on: (1) 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) self-assembled monolayer (SAM), and (2) surface-tethered polyacrylamid...

Collective motion of cell sheets plays a role not only in development and repair, but also in devastating diseases such as cancer. However, unlike single-cell motility, collective motion of cell sheets involves complex cell-cell communication during migration; therefore, its mechanism is largely unknown. To elucidate propagation of signaling transduced by cell-cell interaction, we designed a hy...

Association between let-7-KRAS rs712 polymorphism and cancer risk was inconsistent. We therefore conducted this meta-analysis to clarify the association between let-7-KRAS rs712 polymorphism and cancer risk with STATA 14.0 software. A systemic literature search in online databases (PubMed, Embase, CNKI and Wanfang database) was preformed to obtain relevant articles. A total of 13 case-control s...
