Background Imbalanced nutritional supply and demand in the tumor microenvironment often leads to hypoxia. The subtle interaction between hypoxia immune cell behavior plays an important role occurrence development. However, functional relationship remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed investigate effect of on intestinal microenvironment. Method We extracted names hypoxia-related genes from Gene S...

In a previous article, we described our approach to implementation of effective environmental enrichment, which begins with the diagnosis of environmental features to determine how well they meet the behavior and welfare needs of indoor-housed cats. We formulate this diagnosis based on a pertinent history and physical evaluation. A pertinent history allows us to identify features of the cat and...

heavy metals in the surface sediments of the two coastal ecosystems of cochin, southwest india were assessed. the study intends to evaluate the degree of anthropogenic influence on heavy metal concentration in the sediments of the mangrove and adjacent estuarine stations using enrichment factor and geoaccumulation index. the inverse relationship of cd and zn with texture in the mangrove sedimen...

nutrigenomics applies genomic technologies to study how nutrients affect expression of genes. with the advent of the post genomic era and with the use of functional genomic tools, the new strategies for evaluating the effects of nutrition on production efficiency and nutrient utilization are becoming available. nutrigenomics plays an efficient role in various fields of animal health like nutrit...

introduction: enhancing the nutritional condition of teenaged girls can be the most effective and fundamental preventive measure against chronic disease in years ahead. knowing the predictive factors of behaviors is one the most efficient way of preventive programs in societies, especially in the developing countries. this study was conducted to determine the role of self– efficacy in predictin...

yersiniosis is a common infection in human and animals. yersinia enterocolitica infection has been associated with a variety of clinical manifestations. this bacterium has been isolated from water, meat, milk environment, animals and so on. our studies have been accomplished about isolation of y. enterocolitica from vegetables such as lettuce, carrot, celery, parsley, tomato, cabbage, radish, m...

a new approach for analyzing cracked problems in 2d orthotropic materials using the well-known element free galerkin method and orthotropic enrichment functions is proposed. the element free galerkin method is a meshfree method which enables discontinuous problems to be modeled efficiently. in this study, element free galerkin is extrinsically enriched by the recently developed crack-tip orthot...
