The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the chemical composition of 8 tetra pack milk samples, Olpers (S1), Haleeb (S2), Good milk (S3), Everyday (S4), Milk Pack (S5), Dairy Queen (S6), Dairy Umang (S7), Nurpur (S8) available in local markets and to detect the presence of various chemical adulterants in tetra pack milk samples in Southern Punjab (Pakistan). Density, pH, solid not fat, ...

Many flowering plants possess a self-incompatibility system to prevent inbreeding. In Brassica rapa, self/non-self recognition in mating is established through S-haplotype-specific interactions between stigma receptors and S-locus protein 11 (SP11, also called S-locus cysteine-rich protein) that is encoded at the highly polymorphic S-locus. Here we describe the solution structure of the SP11 pr...

A 62-year-old woman diagnosed with gallbladder cancer exhibiting broad liver invasion and metastasis to Couinaud's hepatic segments 4 and 8 (S4 and S8) consulted her regular doctor. Owing to the presence of liver metastases, she received treatment with gemcitabine plus S-1. After four cycles of chemotherapy, the size of the main lesion dramatically decreased and the two liver metastases disappe...

We have determined distinct roles for different proteasome complexes in adenovirus (Ad) E1A-dependent transcription. We show that the 19S ATPase, S8, as a component of 19S ATPase proteins independent of 20S (APIS), binds specifically to the E1A transactivation domain, conserved region 3 (CR3). Recruitment of APIS to CR3 enhances the ability of E1A to stimulate transcription from viral early gen...

A previous mutational analysis of erabutoxin a (Ea), a curaremimetic toxin from sea snake venom, showed that the substitutions S8G and S8T caused, respectively, 176-fold and 780-fold affinity decreases for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (AchR). In view of the fact that the side-chain of Ser8 is buried in the wild-type toxin, we wondered whether these affinity changes reflect a direct bind...

A 67-year-old woman had hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) measuring 3.7 cm at S8 of the liver with hyperammonemia due to a spontaneous giant mesocaval shunt. Admission laboratory data revealed albumin, 2.9 g/dL; total bilirubin, 1.3 mg/dL; plasma ammonia level (NH3), 152 g/dL; total bile acid (TBA) 108.5 μmoL/L; indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min (ICG15), 63%. Superior mesenteric arterial ...

From May 1990 to September 1993.59 patients received intestinal transplantation at our center. Twenty-two required an isolated intestinal (small bowel (S8]) graft. 26 required a combined liver and intestinal (SBIL) graft. and II required a multiviscerai (MV) graft. Three additional grafts were obtained for S8 (n = I). S81L (n = I). and MV (n '" I) retransplantation. AU 62 grafts were obtained f...

A graph is called integral if all its eigenvalues (of the adjacency matrix) are integers. In this paper, the graphs S1(t) = K1,t, S2(n, t), S3(m,n, t), S4(m,n, p, q), S5(m,n), S6(m,n, t), S8(m,n), S9(m,n, p, q), S10(n), S13(m,n), S17(m,n, p, q), S18(n, p, q, t), S19(m,n, p, t), S20(n, p, q) and S21(m, t) are defined. We construct the fifteen classes of larger graphs from the known 15 smaller in...

Subtilisin-like serine proteases (subtilases) are a very diverse family of serine proteases with low sequence homology, often limited to regions surrounding the three catalytic residues. Starting with different Hidden Markov Models (HMM), based on sequence alignments around the catalytic residues of the S8 family (subtilisins) and S53 family (sedolisins), we iteratively searched all ORFs in the...
