OBJECTIVES To determine the current status of History of Medicine student selected components (SSC) at UK medical schools. This includes the frequency, methods of delivery, assessment, and evaluation of such courses. DESIGN An 18-item questionnaire was created, piloted, and then sent electronically in January 2010 to participants pertaining to their History of Medicine SSC provision as of 1 J...

Airborne LiDAR bathymetry (ALB) has been shown to have the ability to retrieve water turbidity using the waveform parameters (i.e., slopes and amplitudes) of volume backscatter returns. However, directly and accurately extracting the parameters of volume backscatter returns from raw green-pulse waveforms in shallow waters is difficult because of the short waveform. This study proposes a new acc...

Spermatogenesis is regulated by genetic and epigenetic factors. However, the genes signaling pathways mediating human spermatogenesis remain largely unknown. Here, we have for first time explored expression, function, mechanism of glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPx3) in controlling proliferation apoptosis spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs). We found that GPx3 was expressed SSCs. Notably, revealed knoc...

The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) had its winter Administrative Committee (AdCom) meeting on 19 February 2023 colocated with the International Conference (ISSCC) 2023. Along reviewing year 2022, SSCS AdCom discussed plans and initiatives for Please check website updates information as progresses.

The superior suspensory complex of the shoulder (SSCS) is a ring shaped structure composed of bones and soft tissues that play a fundamental role in the stability of the shoulder joint. Isolated injuries of the SSCS are relatively common, but injuries that affect 3 components are extremely unusual. We present a triple injury of the SSCS in a 26 year old patient with a Neer type ii clavicular fr...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to explore the plasticity and transdifferentiation potential of murine spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) into hematopoietic cells. METHODS GFP(+)CD49f(+)H-2K(b-) SSCs of male donor mice were isolated and injected into the bone marrow (BM) of Busulfan-treated GFP(-) female mice. Twelve weeks post-transplantation, the recipients were sacrificed and their BM, ...

Background: Proliferation of spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) can be a treatment for infertile men. Here, we design an efficient method based on culturing in the presence of Sertoli cells to improve the expression level of some specific spermatogonia stem cell genes during two weeks post culture. Materials and Methods: Cells were derived from neonatal (2-6 days old) mice testes and were cultur...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the sto feeder layer on prepubertal rhode island red rooster sscs culture and proliferation in vitro. testis cells from 30 prepubertal rhode island red chicken (4-8 weeks of age), were individually separated and cultivated in the presence of  bfgf and lif growth factors on four well plates with two treatments and three replicats and five...

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) also known as germ stem cells (GSCs) are the basis of spermatogenesis process in the testis. Furthermore, they are also valuable cells with different applications in developmental biology, transgenesis technology, and clinic. Understanding the new findings related to the cell and molecular biology of SSCs and the methods for isolation and maintenance of these ce...
