The 13 forms of human liver glutathione S-transferases (GST) (Vander Jagt, D. L., Hunsaker, L. A., Garcia, K. B., and Royer, R. E. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 11603-11610) are composed of subunits in two electrophoretic mobility groups: Mr = 26,000 (Ha) and Mr = 27,500 (Hb). Preparations purified from the S-hexyl GSH-linked Sepharose 4B affinity column revealed three additional peptides at Mr = ...

Assume λ ≥ 0. Every student is aware that Ω > 0. We show that ε(Yβ,ψ) ∈ YC ,l. Thus the work in [14] did not consider the Smale case. Thus this could shed important light on a conjecture of Poisson.

PURPOSE To use in vivo spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) to measure corneal, limbal, and bulbar conjunctival epithelial thickness. METHODS A total of 156 eyes of 79 subjects were enrolled in four groups: young control (YC group), < 40 years; middle-aged control (MAC group), > 40 years; patients with dry eye syndrome (KCS group); and patients with glaucoma or ocular hyperte...

The present study aimed to screen the hot-spot deafness gene mutations of adolescents with non‑syndromic hearing loss in Yongchuan, Chongqing (CQ-YC ANSHL), aiming to preliminarily understand the region's spectrum and occurrence frequency of deafness gene mutation hot‑spots. A total of 60 CQ‑YC ANSHL were selected from the Special Education School of Yongchuan, Chongqing and the nine most commo...

Increases in calcite deposition rates combined with decreases in yC and yO in three modern stalagmites from Brown’s Folly Mine, Wiltshire, England, are correlative with a well-documented re-vegetation above the mine. Increased soil PCO2 resulted in greater amounts of dissolved CaCO3 in the drip waters, which consequently increased annual calcite deposition rates. The absence of deposition prior...

To evaluate the effects of the mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (ZEA) on pigs and the benefits of two mycotoxin mitigation strategies, gilts (n = 84, 9.1 ± 0.1 kg) were allotted to four treatments: CON (control); MT (4.8 mg/kg feed DON and 0.3 mg/kg feed ZEA); MT-YC (MT + 2 g/kg of yeast cell wall product); and MT-YF (MT + 2 g/kg of yeast fermentation product). After 42 days of f...

Purpose: The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a surface glycoprotein overexpressed on malignant prostate cells, as well as in the neovasculature of many tumors. Recent efforts to target PSMA for imaging prostate cancer rely on suitably functionalized low-molecular-weight agents. YC-27 is a low-molecular-weight, urea-based agent that enables nearinfrared (NIR) imaging of PSMA in vivo...

BACKGROUND By the formation of cGMP, nitric oxide (NO)-sensitive guanylyl cyclase (GC) acts as the effector for the signaling molecule NO and mediates the relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and the inhibition of platelet aggregation. The compounds YC-1 and BAY 41-2272 are regarded as NO-independent activators and sensitizers of NO-sensitive GC. In vivo effects, for example, lowering blood pre...

In this paper a simple turning point (y = yc, A = Ac) of the parameterdependent Hammerstein equation y(t) = f(t) + X k(t,s)g(s,y(s))ds, te[a,b], is approximated numerically in the following way. A simple turning point (z = zc, X = Xe) of an equivalent equation for z(t) := Xg(t, y(t)) is computed first. This is done by solving a discretized version of a certain system of equations which has (2e,...

The dimeric enzyme glutathione S-transferase B is composed of two dissimilar subunits, referred to as Ya and Yc. Transferase B (YaYc) and two other transferases that are homodimers of the individual Ya and Yc subunits were purified from rat liver. Inhibition of these three enzymes by Indocyanine Green, biliverdin and several bile acids was investigated at different values of pH (range 6.0-8.0)....
