Previous research has documented high trait cognitive self-consciousness (CSC) in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It remains unclear whether elevated CSC levels can also explain cognitive performance deficits that have frequently been found in OCD. This study examined whether experimentally heightened CSC affects visual memory performance in OCD. OCD participants and healthy controls compl...

Plant cell walls are extracellular matrices that surround plant cells and critically influence basic cellular processes, such as cell division and expansion. Cellulose is a major constituent of plant cell walls, and this paracrystalline polysaccharide is synthesized at the plasma membrane by a large protein complex known as the cellulose synthase complex (CSC). Recent efforts have identified nu...

We report the anti-breast cancer stem cell (CSC) properties of a series Group 10-bis(azadiphosphine) complexes 1–3 under exclusively three-dimensional culture conditions. The breast CSC mammosphere potency is dependent on 10 metal present, increasing in following order: 1 (nickel complex) <2 (palladium <3 (platinum complex). Notably, 3 reduces formation and size mammospheres to greater extent t...

In this study, phenol was adsorbed by commercial coconut shell charcoal (CSC), which is inexpensive, commercially available, non-toxic, and environmentally friendly. The measurements, namely the density functional theory (DFT) calculation, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), were conducted to characterize features of CSC. highest removal efficiency rea...

An increasing number of malignancies has been shown to be initiated and propelled by small subpopulations of cancer stem cells (CSC). However, whether tumor aggressiveness is driven by CSC and by what extent this property may be relevant within the tumor mass is still unsettled. To address this issue, we isolated a rare tumor cell population on the basis of its CD44(+)CD24(-) phenotype from the...

Abstract In this paper, we study the topological properties and gap sequences of Bedford–McMullen sets. First, introduce a condition, component separation condition (CSC), geometric exponential rate (ERC). Then prove that CSC implies ERC, both them are sufficient conditions for obtaining asymptotic estimate sequences. We also explore sets all normal with infinitely many connected components sat...

CONTEXT Stress had been associated with the development of central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC). The study was designed to evaluate the effect of stress on other risk factors of CSC such as serum cortisol levels, serum homocysteine levels, and blood pressure (BP) in CSC patients. AIMS To compare stress scores, serum cortisol and serum homocysteine levels, and BP of CSC patients with that of...
