In addition to the obvious advantages of data compression for storage and retrieval of map data, the method also has significant advantages for analysis and comparison of maps. The 216 coefficients that uniquely characterize each map are a magnitude of information that is manageable by pattern recognition techniques and may permit automated classification of maps as a screening process. Map dat...

Lung metastasis constitutes the leading cause of the death in patients with osteosarcoma. We have previously reported that plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) regulates the invasion and lung metastasis of osteosarcoma cells in a mouse model and as well as in clinical samples. In the present study, we examined the anti-metastatic effect of SK-216, a small compound PAI-1 inhibitor, in human...

Anabaena 7120 mutant 216 fails to differentiate heterocyst. We previously identified a 2.4-kb wild-type DNA fragment able to complement this mutant. We show here that the sequence of this fragment contains a single open reading frame (hetR), encoding a 299-amino-acid protein. Conjugation of deletion subclones of this fragment into strain 216 showed that the hetR-coding region is both necessary ...

BACKGROUND Antimicrobial resistance is becoming increasingly important in both human and veterinary medicine. This study investigated the proportion of antimicrobial resistant samples and resistance patterns of Staphylococcus isolates from cats presented at a veterinary teaching hospital in South Africa. Records of 216 samples from cats that were submitted to the bacteriology laboratory of the ...
