Fatty acid oxidation provides energy in tissues with high metabolic demands. During the acute-phase response (APR) induced by infection and inflammation, fatty acid oxidation is decreased associated with hypertriglyceridemia. Little is known about the mechanism by which the APR decreases fatty acid oxidation. Therefore, we investigated whether the APR affects the expression of medium-chain acyl...

The discovery of C-reactive protein (CRP) almost 80 years ago in the blood of patients with various infectious and inflammatory diseases initiated studies on the mysterious biological phenomenon called “the acute phase response” (APR). The complex metabolic alterations accompanying APR include changes in the plasma concentration of the majority of liver-produced proteins – acute phase proteins ...

Resistance to the Australian pea aphid (PA; Acyrthosiphon pisum) biotype in cultivar Jester of the model legume Medicago truncatula is mediated by a single dominant gene and is phloem-mediated. The genetic map position for this resistance gene, APR (Acyrthosiphon pisum resistance), is provided and shows that APR maps 39 centiMorgans (cM) distal of the A. kondoi resistance (AKR) locus, which med...

The activity of the enzymes catalyzing the first two steps of sulfate assimilation, ATP sulfurylase and adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase (APR), are confined to bundle sheath cells in several C(4) monocot species. With the aim to analyze the molecular basis of this distribution and to determine whether it was a prerequisite or a consequence of the C(4) photosynthetic mechanism, we compared ...

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. Mutations of TP53 may reach 70% - 85% in HNSCC patients without human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Recurrence rate remains particularly high for HNSCC patients with mutations in the TP53 gene although patients are responsive to surgery, irradiation, and chemotherapy early in the treatment. p53-Reactivati...

APR tilts for path algebra kQ can be realized as the mutation of quiver Q in $${\mathbb Z}Q$$ with respect to translation. In this paper, we show that have similar results quadratic dual truncations n-translation algebras; is, under certain condition, n-APR such algebras are $$\tau $$ -mutations. For -slice bound $$Q^{\perp }$$ , their iterated by -mutations Z|_{n-1} }Q^{\perp .

BACKGROUND A low yield of lymph nodes (LN) in abdominoperineal resection (APR) specimen has been associated with preoperative radiation therapy (XRT) in population-based studies, which may preclude adequate staging of anorectal carcinomas. We hypothesized that the number of LN retrieved in APR specimen was correlated with the dose and the timing of pelvic irradiation. PATIENTS AND METHODS We ...

BACKGROUND Anaemia is one of the major causes of death among children under five years in Africa, with a prevalence of 64.6% among pre-school children. In 2014, we conducted a cross-sectional study in Namutumba district in East-central Uganda to determine the prevalence and factors associated with anaemia among children aged 6 to 59 months. METHODS We conducted a household survey in 376 rando...
