BACKGROUND Patients with low HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) and elevated triglyceride had an increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) events and received the greatest benefit with fibrate therapy in substudy analyses of the Helsinki Heart Study and the Bezafibrate Infarction Prevention Study. METHODS AND RESULTS In this post hoc analysis of the Scandinavian Simvastatin Survival Study, which e...

In 1934, Garrett Birkhoff has shown that the number of isomorphism classes of finite metabelian groups of order p 22 tends to infinity with p. More precisely, for each prime number p there is a family (M λ) λ=0,... ,p−1 of indecom-posable and pairwise nonisomorphic metabelian p-groups of the given order. In this manuscript we use recent results on the classification of possible embeddings of a ...

In this paper, we first characterize the convex $L$-subgroup of an $L$-ordered group by means of fourkinds of cut sets of an $L$-subset. Then we consider the homomorphic preimages and the product of convex $L$-subgroups.After that, we introduce an $L$-convex structure constructed by convex $L$-subgroups.Furthermore, the notion of the degree to which an $L$-subset of an $L$-ord...

Let M be a Kähler compact manifold and let G be a subgroup of its full isometry group. Assume G acts in a Hamilton-ian fashion and that it has a one-dimensional center. In this article we analyze the Kähler reduction M λ and the Kähler cut M λ with respect to the Hamiltonian action of the center Z(G). We prove among other results if K is a compact Lie subgroup of K s , where K s is the semisimp...

The discovery of (interesting) subgroups has a high practical relevance in all domains of science or business. For example, consider statements such as: ”the unemployment rate is above average for young men with a low educational level”, ”smokers with a positive family history are at a significantly higher risk for coronary heart disease”, or ”single males living in rural areas do rarely take o...

We describe the molecular cloning of an anemogenic feline leukemia virus (FeLV), FeLV-C-Sarma, from the productively infected human rhabdomyosarcoma cell line RD(FeLV-C-S). Molecularly cloned FeLV-C-S proviral DNA yielded infectious virus (mcFeLV-C-S) after transfection of mammalian cells, and virus interference studies using transfection-derived virus demonstrated that our clone encodes FeLV b...

OBJECTIVE Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury occurs in several clinical conditions and after intestinal transplantation. The aim of the present study was to investigate the phenomena of apoptosis and cell proliferation in a previously described intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury autograft model using immunohistochemical markers. The molecular mechanisms involved in ischemia-reperfusion ...

Let H be an abstract group and let C be a variety of finite groups (i.e., a class of finite groups closed under taking subgroups, quotients and finite direct products); for example the variety of all finite p-groups, for a fixed prime p. Consider the smallest topology on H such that all the homomorphism H −→ C from H to any group C ∈ C (endowed with the discrete topology) is continuous. We refe...

Let $mathfrak{F}$ be a formation and $G$ a finite group. A subgroup $H$ of $G$ is said to be weakly $mathfrak{F}_{s}$-quasinormal in $G$ if $G$ has an $S$-quasinormal subgroup $T$ such that $HT$ is $S$-quasinormal in $G$ and $(Hcap T)H_{G}/H_{G}leq Z_{mathfrak{F}}(G/H_{G})$, where $Z_{mathfrak{F}}(G/H_{G})$ denotes the $mathfrak{F}$-hypercenter of $G/H_{G}$. In this paper, we study the structur...
