In an earlier study connectin, an elastic protein of striated muscle, was found to be associated with "gap filaments" originating from the thick filaments in the myofibril, but it was not clear whether it extends to Z lines or not (Maruyama, K., H. Sawada, S. Kimura, K. Ohashi, H. Higuchi, and Y. Umazume, 1984, J. Cell Biol., 99:1391-1397). In the present immunoelectron microscopic study using ...

Squamous cell carcinoma is the most common malignancy of the lower lip. Environmental factors such as ultraviolet light exposure, arsenic and smoking are contributing factors to the increasing incidence. Mohs surgery is the treatment of choice ensuring the lowest recurrence rates. The closure of the surgical defects, however, can be a challenge. Multiple and versatile methods of reconstructing ...

A binary string B of length n = kt is a k-ary Dyck word if it contains t copies of 1, and the number of 0s in every prefix of B is at most k−1 times the number of 1s. We provide two loopless algorithms for generating k-ary Dyck words in cool-lex order: (1) The first requires two index variables and assumes k is a constant; (2) The second requires t index variables and works for any k. We also e...

Possible strong Van der Waals force is searched in the nuclear interaction, whose existence is expected when the fundamental interaction between quarks is strong or superstrong Coulombic type. The relation between the type of the extra singularity at t = 0 of the scattering amplitude and the power of the asymptotic behavior of the long range potential is derived. The square root cusp in the onc...

Immunohistochemical analysis of skin tissue biopsies from an individual with acute graft-versus-host-disease. Scattered ICOS+ activated lymphocytes were observed at the dermo-epidermal junction, superficial dermis and around the adnexal follicular epithelium. Figure taken from the article by Maria Cuzzola and colleagues on page 1532. Widespread over-expression of the non-clustered homeobox gene...

The relationship of the clavigerite genera Diartiger Sharp and Microdiartiger Sawada is discussed, and the synonymy of the two genera proposed by Besuchet (1986) is followed. This results in two new combinations: D. thinhi (Nomura), comb. n. and D. songxiaobini (Yin & Li), comb. n. Two new species, D. dentatus Yin & Li, sp. n. and D. yaoluopingensis Yin & Li, sp. n. are described from Anhui, Ea...
