The objective of this study was to determine the influence housing system on physical, morphological, and mechanical properties Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) eggs. A total 240 eggs were collected from quails kept in two different systems: cage aviary (120 each system). Eggs significantly (P<0.05) heavier than (11.85 g vs. 10.93 g), also longer, wider had larger geometric mean diam...

Acquired resistance to epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs), such as gefitinib, remains a major problem in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment. Increased activation of AXL has been identified as a novel mechanism for acquired resistance to EGFR-TKIs in NSCLC treatment. However, the cause of uncontrolled AXL expression is not fully understood. Here, we...

Histone acetylation is one of the key chromatin modifications that control gene transcription during development and tumorigenesis. Recently, it was reported that the histone deacetylase inhibitor, Trichostatin A (TSA), induces growth arrest and apoptosis in tumors. However, the molecular mechanisms responsible for its antitumor effects are not cl...

It is well known that the G(n, p) model of random graphs undergoes a dramatic change around p = 1 n . It is here that the random graph, almost surely, contains cycles, and here it first acquires a giant (i.e., order Ω(n)) connected component. Several years ago, Linial and Meshulam introduced the Yd(n, p) model, a probability space of n-vertex d-dimensional simplicial complexes, where Y1(n, p) c...

Background; Around 15-20% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. The yolk sac initially forms at around 5 weeks gestation and may be viewed via ultrasonography. Both the fetal heart rate can utilized as predictors first trimester result, Aim objectives; to determine relationship between early abortion each ultrasound characteristics measured during (gestational size, fetus activity). Subjects metho...

Yolk spheres present in mature invertebrate oocytes are composed of yolk proteins and proteolytic enzymes. In the fly Musca domestica, yolk proteins are degraded during embryogenesis by a cathepsin-like proteinase that is stored as a zymogen. An acid phosphatase is also active in the yolk spheres during Musca embryogenesis. In this paper we show that procathepsin and acid phosphatase are initia...

The correlation of yolk cholesterol and yolk fat concentrations of egg from the pedigreed Athens-Canadian Randombred control population with the percentage of abdominal fat (AF) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) of their progeny were studied. The average yolk cholesterol, yolk fat, and AF were 20.3 mg/g yolk, 244 mg/g yolk, and 1.64%, respectively. The phenotypic correlation of both yolk choleste...
