Abstract The functions of human natural killer cells are controlled by diverse families antigen receptors. Prominent among these the cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR), a family genes clustered in one most variable regions genome — on chromosome 19q13.4. This study aimed to investigate possible interplay between KIR allotype, B19 infection, and thyroid disorders. Thyroid gland tissue 30 p...

BACKGROUND A high Ki-67 proliferation index (PI) in neoplastic cells is associated with poor survival in mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). We aimed to determine the cut-off values for the Ki-67 PI as a prognostic factor in MCL according to bone marrow findings. METHODS Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for Ki-67 was performed on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded biopsy tissues from 56 patients with...

The paper describes the catalytic activity of butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) measured in plasma, liver, white adipose tissue, heart, and brain of rats intraperitoneally administered a single non-lethal dose of cycloheximide (2.0 mg/kg body weight; CHM). The BuChE assay was performed on rats of both sexes either administered CHM or saline (controls), and killed 2, 3, 4, 5, 10 days later. A signif...

When stuck-at faults are targeted, scan design reduces the complexity of the test problem. But for delay fault testing, the standard scan structures are not so efficient, because delay fault testing requires the application of dedicated consecutive two-pattern tests. In a standard scan environment, pre-determined two pattern tests cannot be applied to the circuit under test because of the seria...

BACKGROUND Nasal septum perforations from surgical submucous resection, septoplasty, blunt trauma, and substance abuse may cause epistaxis, nasal obstruction, discharge, crusting, dryness, pain, and whistling. While small symptomatic perforations are closed with local mucosal flaps, options for closure of large symptomatic perforations are limited. A local pedicled flap, the facial artery muscu...

In this paper we show that long run market informational ine¢ ciency and informational cascades can easily happen when trades occur at market clearing prices. We consider a sequential trade model where: (i) the investors’set of actions is discrete; (ii) dealers and investors di¤er in risk aversion; (iii) investors’information is bounded. We show that informational cascade occurs as soon as trad...

We measured the isokinetic strength of abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation in ten patients with full-thickness tears of the supraspinatus and ten with partial-thickness tears. The measurements were repeated after intra-articular or intrabursal injection of local anaesthetic. Pain blocks produced significant increases in strength in both full and partial-thickness tear...
