To investigate the possible role(s) of glycans in human tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) activity, the iso-enzymes were purified and treated with various exo- and endo-glycosidases. Catalytic activity, oligomerization, conformation and immunoreactivity of the modified TNAPs were evaluated. All TNAPs proved to be N-glycosylated, and only the liver isoform (LAP) is not O-glycosylat...

Knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) are three key components for reducing the adverse health impacts of heat waves. However, research in eastern China regarding this is scarce. The present study aimed to evaluate the heat wave-related KAP of a population in Licheng in northeast China. This cross-sectional study included 2241 participants. Data regarding demographic characteristics, KAP, and...

The kidney androgen-regulated protein (KAP) gene is exclusively expressed in proximal tubules of mouse kidney and in the uterus of pregnant females before they give birth. It displays an exquisite and differential regulation of expression by steroid and thyroid hormones (THs) in different proximal tubule segments. Whereas the pars recta (PR cells) responds to thyroid and sexual hormones, the pa...

This study was to evaluate the efficacy of pharmaceutical intervention (PI) on chemotherapy knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) and quality of life (QOL) in cancer patients. A prospective, randomized, controlled study was carried out at Oncology Ward in a tertiary hospital affiliated to Southern Medical University, China. Eligible patient was randomly assigned to pharmaceutical intervention (PI) ...

BACKGROUND Asthma is becoming increasingly prevalent among children in China. Poor parent knowledge and attitudes often contribute to inappropriate management practices, leading to deficiencies in the care process. We aimed to document the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of parents of children with asthma and analyze how knowledge and attitudes relate to practices. Our secondary object...

In this work we study the effect of some electrical prosperities on synthetic rubber reinforced with carbon black diluted in heptanes with concentrations from 0.2% gm/mole to 2.0% gm/ mole in temperatures range (100, 150, 200, 250, 300) C associated with amount weight of black carbon 5wt% added to the diluted rubber. The results of electrical properties measurement of Buna rubber reinforced wit...

Introduction: Ionizing radiation in medical imaging is one of the dominant sources of exposure, and correct knowledge of radiation protection, affects staff safety behaviors during procedures. This study aimed to assess the radiation protection Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) amongst nuclear medicine centers' staff in Iran. Methods: To evaluate the...
