Gastric juice cultures were positive in all patients with gastric disorders and 44% with duodenal ulcers. A positive correlation was observed between pH and positivity of gastric cultures (JPMA 32:282, 1982).

Epoxycreatine (N-(2,3-epoxypropyl)-N-amidinoglycine) is an affinity label of creatine kinase that irreversibly and completely inactivates the enzyme (Marletta, M. A., and Kenyon, G. L. (1979) J. Biol. Chem. 254, 1879-1886). To identify active site residues of rabbit muscle creatine kinase, the site of modification of it by epoxycreatine has been determined. Separation by high performance liquid...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationships between 2nd to 4th digit ratio (digit ratio) and prostate cancer detection rate and biopsy findings, including Gleason score. MATERIALS AND METHODS In 770 consecutive men aged 40 years or older that presented with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), right hand 2nd and 4th digit lengths were measured prior to PSA determinations, DRE and transrectal u...

Thermomechanical processes, such as forging, are important steps during manufacturing of superalloy components. The microstructural development processing, which controls the final component properties, is complex and depends on e.g., applied strain, strain rate temperature. In this study, we investigate effect process parameters dynamic post-dynamic recrystallization hot compression Ni-base Ha...
