Background: School age is a sensitive period in the child growth. Backpack weight has an important impact on physical growth and neuromuscular development of the children. Regarding this, the present study was conducted to determine the ratio of backpack weight to body weight and investigate its relationship with some factors among the elementary school students of Gorgan, Iran, within 2013-14....

Although expression of the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2-associated athanogene-1 (BAG-1) has been reported as up-regulated in a number of malignancies, we show for the first time that BAG-1 is over-expressed in medium/large-sized colorectal adenomas and carcinomas compared with normal epithelium. To investigate whether expression of BAG-1 is important for colorectal tumour cell survival, microar...

BAG-1 is a family of proteins with diverse activities that range in cultured cells from protection against programmed cell death through to regulation of steroid hormone action. At least three proteins (BAG-1L, BAG-1M and BAG-1) are encoded by the Bag-1 mRNA through the use of alternative translation-initiation sites. To assess the in vivo function of these factors, we have used in situ hybridi...

The aim of this study was to detect the expression of BRCA-1 and BAG-1 in Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC), and analyse the correlation between protein expression and sensitivity to Platinumbased Chemotherapy (PbC). Malignant tissues from 72 TNBC patients who were treated according to the NP and GP programs; then, the relationships between BRCA-1 and BAG-1 protein expression and the surviva...

PURPOSE To study the mechanical dynamics between the zonuli-capsular complex and an accommodating intraocular lens mechanics simulator using pharmacological stimulation of the ciliary body in a primate eye. METHODS Following phacoemulsification removal of the lens, force/movement gauges simulating the accommodating intraocular lens mechanics were implanted in 8 primate eyes (4 positioned in-t...

Theriodopteryx ephemeraeformis commonly known as bag worms produce ultrafine silk fibers that are remarkably different than the common domesticated (Bombyx mori) and wild (Saturniidae) silk fibers. Bag worms are considered as pests and commonly infect trees and shrubs. Although it has been known that the cocoons (bags) produced by bag worms are composed of silk, the structure and properties of ...

Intravenous pressure bag Theatre table TECHNiQUE An intravenous fluid pressure bag is placed under the pelvis at the start of the procedure. To protect the patient from direct contact with the bag and the plastic components of the device, the bag is placed under a gel pad. The pump protrudes over a lateral edge of the operating table. Having reached the point when the modified position is requi...
