Homoserine kinase (HSK) produces O-phospho-l-homoserine (HserP) used by cystathionine gamma-synthase (CGS) for Met synthesis and threonine synthase (TS) for Thr synthesis. The effects of overexpressing Arabidopsis thaliana HSK, CGS, and Escherichia coli TS (eTS), each controlled by the 35S promoter, were compared. The results indicate that in Arabidopsis Hser supply is the major factor limiting...

OBJECTIVES To compare the incidence of all total hip arthroplasty, and total hip arthroplasty for primary coxarthrosis, among the Asian, black, Hispanic, and white populations living in one locale. METHODS We identified all San Francisco residents who underwent total hip replacements (THR) in the 17 hospitals for adults within or near San Francisco County during a five year period. Preoperati...

We previously showed that bovine apolipoprotein A-II (apoA-II) had antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli and the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in PBS. We have characterized here the active domain of apoA-II using synthetic peptides. A peptide corresponding to C-terminal residues Leu(49)-Thr(76) exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against E. coli in PBS, but not against S. ce...

Making use of the publicly available 1D photoionization hydrodynamics code ATES we set out to investigate combined effects planetary gravitational potential energy ($\phi_p\equiv GM_p/R_p$) and stellar X-ray Extreme Ultraviolet (XUV) irradiation ($F_{\rm XUV}$) on evaporation efficiency ($\eta$) moderately-to-highly irradiated gaseous planets, from sub-Neptunes through hot Jupiters. We show tha...

A bridged peptide with the sequence: H-Thr-Pro-Gln-Arg-Gly-Asp-Val-gamma-Abu-Asn-Asp-Gln-Glu-Glu-Thr-Thr-Gly-Val-Val-Ser-Thr-Pro-Leu-Ile-Arg-Asn-Gly-OH was designed to mimic the discontinuous epitope of the HLA-DQ molecule that might interact with CD4. The bridged peptide revealed distinct suppressory effect in the humoral immune response. This result supports our suggestion that the 164-172 re...

Augmented Reality refers to a technology that enables users superimpose digital material (images and text) on top of physical environment. The science human anatomy is the study body's structure organs functions. traditional learning method based textbooks plastic models. student still faces problems with understanding these methods. This aims create an augmented reality application address cha...

AIM To determine whether cemented, cementless, or hybrid implant was superior to the other in terms of survival rate. METHODS Systematic searches across MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Cochrane that compared cemented, cementless and hybrid total hip replacement (THR) were performed. Two independent reviewers evaluated the risk ratios of revision due to any cause, aseptic loosening, infection, and disloc...

Patients who have undergone total hip or knee replacement (THR and TKR, respectively) are at high risk of venous thromboembolism. We aimed to determine the time courses of both the incidence of venous thromboembolism and effective prophylaxis. Patients with elective primary THR and TKR were enrolled in the multi-national Global Orthopaedic Registry. Data on the incidence of venous thromboemboli...

Thrombin (THR) plays a key role in the brain under physiological and pathological conditions. Several of the biological activities of thrombin have been shown to be mainly driven through activation of protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR-1)-type thrombin receptor. Here we have studied the effect of THR and PAR-1-activating peptide (PAR1-AP), SFLLRN, on cytokine-induced expression of inducible nit...

Improved hip kinematics and bone preservation have been reported after resurfacing total hip replacement (THRS). On the other hand, hip kinematics with standard total hip replacement (THR) is optimized with large diameter femoral heads (BFH-THR). The purpose of this study is to evaluate the functional outcomes of THRS and BFH-THR and correlate these results to bone preservation or the large fem...
