PURPOSE To investigate the association between soluble apoptosis and adhesion molecules and the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) after reattachment surgery for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD). METHODS A multiplex immunoassay was used to measure soluble Fas (sFas), sFas ligand (sFasL), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule (sICAM)-1, and soluble vascular cell adhe...

Various kinds of fermented soybean meal are now commercially available, whereas the quality these products is uneven due to different processing technologies, fermentation strains, and raw meal, which would lead effects on bioavailability nutrients in aquaculture feeds. Thus, a 10-week feeding trial was conducted evaluate six available (FSBM) growth performance juvenile turbot (Scophthalmus max...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate the different expressions of αA-crystallin and αB-crystallin in human lens epithelium of age-related and congenital cataracts. METHODS The central part of the human anterior lens capsule approximately 5 mm in diameter together with the adhering epithelial cells, were harvested and processed within 6 hours after cataract surgery from age-...

Three group A arboviruses, Sindbis (SIN), western (WEE) and eastern equine encephalitis (EEE), were selectively degraded with a nonionic detergent to yield a core particle and a soluble envelope component. Antigenic analysis by using radioimmune precipitation techniques revealed marked antigenic similarity among the core particles of the three viruses. The soluble envelope component exhibited a...

Two serogroups (B and E) of Pasteurella multocida associated with hemorrhagic septicemia in cattle were differentiated by a coagglutination test with antibody-coated staphylococci. The group antigen was soluble and heat stable. It was not detectable in unencapsulated cells or their heated extracts. Adsorbed onto human type O erythrocytes, it could be demonstrated by an indirect hemagglutination...

We consider finite groups which have connected transversals to subgroups whose order is a product of two primes p and q. We investigate those values of p and q for which the group is soluble. We can show that the solubility of the group follows if q = 2 and p ≤ 61, q = 3 and p ≤ 31, q = 5 and p ≤ 11. We then apply our results on loop theory and we show that if the inner mapping group of a finit...

William W. Boone and Graham Higman proved that a finitely generated group has soluble word problem if and only if it can be embedded in a simple group that can be embedded in a finitely presented group. We prove the exact analogue for lattice-ordered groups: Theorem: A finitely generated lattice-ordered group has soluble word problem if and only if it can be `-embedded in an `-simple lattice-or...

We have previously demonstrated the increased metastatic potential of human prostate cancer circulating tumor cells (CTC), compared to their parental cells, in both orthotopic mouse models and the chick embryo model. In the current study, we asked whether an extracellular matrix (ECM), produced by human foreskin fibroblasts in culture, could inhibit PC-3 human prostate cancer CTC metastasis in ...

background and objectives: vitamin e is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties, which prevents tissue damages induced by free radicals by their neutralization. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of vitamin e on burn wound healing in rats. methods: in this study, 16 mature male rats weighing 260±10g were used in two groups of 8 each. after induction of anesthesia and sh...
