BACKGROUND AND AIMS When a high fat oral load is followed several hours later by further ingestion of nutrients, there is an early postprandial peak in plasma triacylglycerol (TG). The aim of this study was to investigate the location and release of lipid from within the gastrointestinal tract. METHODS Ten healthy patients undergoing oesopho-gastro-duodenoscopy (OGD) were recruited. At t=0, a...

The adhesion G-protein-coupled receptor CD97 is present in normal colonic enterocytes but overexpressed in colorectal carcinoma. To investigate the function of CD97 in colorectal carcinogenesis, transgenic Tg(villin-CD97) mice overexpressing CD97 in enterocytes were generated and subjected to azoxymethane (AOM)/dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis-associated tumorigenesis. Unexpectedly,...

We demonstrate the application of in-source nitrogen collision-induced dissociation (CID) that eliminates the need for ester hydrolysis before simultaneous analysis of esterified cholesterol (EC) and triglycerides (TG) along with free cholesterol (FC) from human serum, using normal phase liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) tandem mass spectromet...

In 2009, the National Institutes of Health recognized the need to expand knowledge of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) health and commissioned the Institute of Medicine to report on the health of these populations in the United States. The resulting Institute of Medicine publication called for more knowledge of the health of LGBT populations, as well as improved methodologies to r...

background: the patterson-parker table was created in 1934 to determine mg-hr required to deliver the prescribed dose to the treatment area. these tables were created using the dosimetric data for 226ra that was determined in air and were utilized for dose calculations around implants with ra-equivalent radionuclides such as 137cs and 192ir. therefore, the differences of the tissue attenuation ...

background: fatty acids are an important source of energy for muscle contraction, particularly during longtime exercise. the objective of this clinical trail study was to determination effect of heparin infusion on lipids metabolism during submaximal exercise. methods: forty boy students performed astrand ergometery protocol for 20-minute on cycle ergometer in two separate occasions. stage1 wit...

Appointment scheduling is a problem faced daily by many individuals and organizations. Cooperating agent systems have been developed to partially automate this task. In order to extend the circle of participants as far as possible we advocate the use of natural language transmitted by email. We describe Cosma, a fully implemented German language server for existing appointment scheduling agent ...

In this paper, the definitions of novel classes generalized connected sets (briefly, g-Tg-connected sets) and disconnected g-Tg-disconnected in topological spaces Tg-spaces) are defined terms g-Tg -sets) and, their properties characterizations with respect to set-theoretic relations presented. The basic notions local, pathwise, local pathwise simple g-Tg-connectedness also study shows that -con...
