Objective: Major depression is a common mental illness with usual onset in adolescence and young adulthood. Brain imaging studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have reported altered functional connectivity in depressed patients compared to healthy controls, which normalize with effective treatment. Escitalopram is an antidepressant commonly used to treat depression, but wit...

BACKGROUND Though Mica, a thin and sheet like mineral, has been used as a mineral medicine for treatment of bleeding, dysentery and inflammation in traditional medicine including Ayurveda, the biological evidences of Mica were not clearly elucidated so far. Thus, in the present study, the antitumor mechanism of particled Mica (STB-HO) was examined in colorectal cancers. METHODS Athymic nude m...

A short range force constant model (SRFCM) has been applied for the first time to investigate the phonons in RMnO3 (R = Pr, Eu, Tb, Dy, Ho) perovskites in their orthorhombic phase. The calculations with 17 stretching and bending force constants provide good agreement for the observed Raman frequencies. The infrared frequencies have been assigned for the first time. PACS Codes: 36.20.Ng, 33.20.F...

enemy” in the minds of South Korean conservatives who returned to power in 2008 rather than a real general in the 1950s. This film differs from post-1990 war films by clearly establishing the fact that the Korean War was an invasion of the South by the North, not unlike Cold War anticommunist films, but is more anti-North Korean than anticommunist by presuming that the “enemy” is the Supreme Le...

Background: Protein glycosylation, the covalent attachment of carbohydrates, is very common, but in many cases the biological function of glycosylation is not well understood. Recently, uorescence energy transfer experiments have shown that glycosylation can strongly change the global conformational distributions of peptides. We intend to show the physical mechanism behind this structural e ect...

BACKGROUNDANDPURPOSE: Few data are available on the frequency and location distribution of fenestrations of intracranial arteries. We used 3D rotational angiography of all intracranial arteries in a cohort of 179 patients with suspected intracranial aneurysms to assess the prevalence and location of fenestrations and the relation of fenestrations to aneurysms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Of 179 pati...
