Let $$\mathscr {C}$$ be a hyperelliptic curve of genus $$g>1$$ over an algebraically closed field K characteristic zero and {O}$$ one the $$(2g{+}2)$$ Weierstrass points in {C}(K)$$ . J Jacobian , which is g-dimensional abelian variety K. us consider canonical embedding into that sends to group law on J. This allows identify with certain subset commutative J(K). A special case famous theorem Ra...

Activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) involves the induction of ECM protein synthesis and rapid cell proliferation. Thus, agents that interfere with either process could potentially mitigate the development of liver disease by reducing the synthesis of proteins associated with fibrosis or by reducing the number of activated HSC. Previously, we described that the non-metabolizable amino ac...

OBJECTIVE In this study, we evaluated the association between the MMP1-1607 polymorphism (rs1799750) and pro-inflammatory milieu elements with MMP-1 mRNA levels in vivo. MATERIAL AND METHODS MMP1-1607 SNP and the mRNA levels of MMP-1, TNF-a, IFN-g, IL-17A, IL-21, IL-10, IL-4, IL-9, and FOXp3 were determined via RealTimePCR in DNA/RNA samples from patients presenting periapical granulomas (N=1...

BACKGROUND The second-generation cryoballoon (CB-2G) is a promising technique to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). It is necessary to summarize and analyze the available data on 1-year clinical outcome of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with CB-2G. METHODS PubMed and the Web of Science were searched in May 2015. Studies that reported the 1-year clinical success rates after PVI using CB-2G were i...

The 1G/2G polymorphism of matrix metalloproteinase 1 (MMP-1) affects activity of the promoter in transient transfections, and has been associated with the incidence or invasiveness of five types of cancer. In light of these findings, and because stromal cells may contribute to tumor cell invasion, we used quantitative real-time reverse transcription-PCR to measure endogenous MMP-1 mRNA expressi...

Currently, the on-chip wireless communication system (OWCS) includes 2nd-generation (2G), 3rd-generation (3G), and long-term evolution (LTE) communication subsystems. To improve the power consumption of OWCS, a typical architecture design of system power control unit (SPCU) is given in this paper, which can not only make a 2G, a 3G, and an LTE subsystems enter sleep mode, but it can also wake t...

Second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (2G-TKIs) are effective at inducing complete cytogenetic responses (CCyRs) in approximately half of chronic myeloid leukemia patients treated while still in the chronic phase and after failing imatinib. It is less clear whether these responses are durable. In the present study, we report the clinical outcome of 119 patients who received a 2G-TKI as s...
