BACKGROUND The first double-J (DJ) stents were manufactured in 1978. Their J-shaped tips efficiently prevent their migration from kidneys and from the urinary bladder. Nowadays, DJ stents are in common use because they provide efficient and relatively safe urinary derivation between the kidney and the urinary bladder. We report this case with the aim to point out possible serious complications ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS DJ-1 and PTEN have been shown to involve in multiple cell processes and play an important role in cancer development and progression. However, their relationship with gastric carcinoma (GC) has not been identified yet. The purpose of this study is to clarify the relationship of DJ-1 and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis i...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common movement disorder characterized by dopaminergic dysfunction and degeneration. The cause of most PD cases is unknown, although postmortem studies have implicated the involvement of oxidative stress. The identification of familial PD-associated genes offers the opportunity to study mechanisms of PD pathogenesis in model organisms. Here, we show that DJ-...

This paper presents Mmmmm; a Multimodal Mobile Music Mixer that provides DJs a new interface for mixing music on the Nokia N900 phones. Mmmmm presents a novel way for DJ to become more interactive with their audience and vise versa. The software developed for the N900 mobile phone utilizes the phones built-in accelerometer sensor and Bluetooth audio streaming capabilities to mix and apply effec...

DJ-1, a novel mitogen-dependent oncogene, has an important role in the progression of human malignancies, whereas tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) is known to control a variety of processes associated with cell survival, proliferation and invasion. DJ-1 overexpression was reported to be negatively correlated with PTEN expression in tumor tissues of patients with laryngeal ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative movement disorder. Whereas the majority of PD cases are sporadic, rare genetic defects have been linked to this prevalent movement disorder. Mutations in DJ-1 are associated with autosomal recessive early-onset PD. The exact biochemical function of DJ-1 has remained elusive. Here we report the generation of DJ-1 knockout (KO) mice by target...

We report an efficient therapeutic modality for platinum resistant ovarian cancer based on siRNA-mediated suppression of a multifunctional DJ-1 protein that is responsible for the proliferation, growth, invasion, oxidative stress, and overall survival of various cancers. The developed therapeutic strategy can work alone or in concert with a low dose of the first line chemotherapeutic agent cisp...

Abstract Double J (DJ) stents are placed in patients with obstructive uropathy to relieve the obstruction. Curved ends prevent slippage or migration of stent. Antegrade into urinary bladder retrograde ureter common complications. Mode retrieval migrated depends upon location We present a case series four cases percutaneous snaring cephalad DJ pediatric patients.

DJ (Declarative Java) is an extension of Java that supports constraint programming. With DJ, users do not need to learn the complicated class hierarchy of the AWT package or Java's layout managers. To construct a GUI, users only need to specify the components that compose the GUI and the relationship among the components by using constraints. As a constraint language, DJ can be used not only to...
